Trek to Mount Everest Basecamp and Kala Patar, Lobuche Peak, Island Peak

The trekking route from Lukla to Everest Base Camp is highly maintained.  The trails are clear, and there is an abundance of tea houses and shops to provide any food and water needed.   In fact, many of the tea houses also rent most climbing equipment.  If you are ok with renting equipment, one could easily show up with nothing, and outfit completely in Kathmandu, Lukla, or even some of the larger tea houses.

The Kathmandu Airport in 2019 was closed to air traffic between KTM and Lukla.   So all trekkers had to take a 5 hour bus ride through extremely bad road conditions to a small make shift airport.   

Do not be shocked with the volume of trekkers, from all countries and all ages.  Passing other hikers is quite common, and there is generally plenty of room to get around the slow folks.    

Buy the global internet pass, so you can access the internet from the tea houses.  Also, pick up a Nepal sim card for your phone.  Your normally phone service will not work there.

The food is good, but very limited.   It really helps to bring a jug of protein mix.

The porters are amazing.  Most are very helpful, although language barriers are very obvious.

During April, the mountain peaks are full of snow, and makes for good climbing.   If you are just trekking, then later in the year works as well.  But if you want to climb >20,000 ft, go in April.
