Notes

Having guided this trek several times now I am 100% confident that the above itinerary is the best option for ensuring everybody makes EBC and Kala Pathar with two essential acclimatisation days on the ascent and one on the return leg, these can also be used in case of bad weather or illness which often sees less prepared groups missing out on Base Camp success.

Acclimatisation is vital to any EBC attempt and the key to this is a gradual height gain with essential acclimatisation days added in where appropriate, on this trip your oxygen saturation stats will be monitored each night and action taken if necessary to ensure that you are on track for EBC success. Your leader has been to high altitude (over 5000m) more than 50 times with groups so is very experienced in managing altitude related problems)

The overnight tea houses are the most comfortable on the trek and have been used numerous times by Imp Adventures ensuring that each night we have hot showers and internet (small charge) and our own ‘a la carte’ choice of meal each day (unlike other larger treks who have to all eat the same choice each night due to numbers etc)

Imp Adventures have been using the same excellent local Ground Agent for 10 years now and have always been treated to the most fantastic service and best logistics and local guides and Sherpas availible both on the trail and back in Kathmandu. Time will be made prior to the trek for participants to buy quality Down Sleeping Bags and Down trekking jackets at bargain rates if required.
