BEST TIME TO TRAVEL
The best time to travel in Nepal is in spring (February to May) and autumn (September to November). The temperature is moderate in these seasons and guarantees amazing views through the trip. Although this trek can be undertaken during winter, the cold temperature might not be suitable for everyone.
GUIDE & STAFF ARRANGEMENT
The most significant thing that makes this trek enjoyable and memorable is the skilled, experienced and helpful Guide and crew member who have the ability of guiding our trek on the mountain smoothly. Our trip will be led by the best and most professional Guide. All of Discovery Mountain Trekking Guide’s are carefully selected on the basis of their appropriate experience, skills and personal aptitude.

We are firmly committed to porter rights. We make sure that all our porters are well treated, well paid and we provide the level of shelter, clothing and footwear that these harsh environments demand. Porters who become sick are treated with the same care and attention as other team members and we have previously used helicopters – at our expense – to rescue porters from dangerous situations. We support the work of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG), making our resources available to them to help improve the working conditions of the porters. International Porters Progress Group.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
Nepal is stunningly beautiful, but equally fragile in the mountain region. Future generations have just as much of a right to appreciate it as much as we do. Therefore, we believe that the tourism industry has an obligation to protect and preserve it. Discovery Mountain Trek employs a ‘zero impact’ policy on the natural environment and the traditional communities that live there. Discovery Mountain Trek, therefore, enforces a number of do and don’t. Please talk to your trek Guide to avoid environmental impacts.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is a condition upon joining any of Discovery Mountain Trek trips that all clients be insured for comprehensive expenses that might incur due to medical issues or accidents (this includes air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and treatment costs). Please note that we don’t arrange or sell insurance.
ACCLIMATIZATION
This trek’s itinerary is planned with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Going up at higher altitudes too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to result in death. The higher the altitude, the less oxygen will be in the air. For example, at an altitude above of 5000m, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Therefore, our body needs many days to adapt to an environment with less oxygen. During this trip, one day we take rest in somewhere which will help us acclimatize to the high altitude.

Trekking to EBC Luxury Trek fly back by Heli is a priority for nearly every visitor to Nepal and even you can get good experience of the mountain flight by chopper. Located at the foot of Mt. Everest, reaching the base camp gives you a sense of rare satisfaction and adventure. This destination in eastern Nepal lies in Solukhumbu district at an altitude of 5,360 meters. The base camp is a place of never-ending excitement over-flowing with people from many countries speaking as many languages. For a location that is so geographically isolated, it is a unique melting pot that attracts thousands of aspiring climbers every year. Join the team of Discovery Mountain Trek and see yourself how diverse the place is.
At the base camp you will begin the day with a panoramic view of the mighty peaks of Khumbu. More than a hundred peaks ranging from 3,500 meters to the highest one on the planet are visible – like a cascade of never-ending pyramids. And the thought of sleeping beneath Mt. Everest – the crowning glory of it all – is definitely an attraction that is too tempting to resist.
Take this trip to Sagarmatha National Park to see Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Cholatse, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu and several other peaks of Khumbu. And When you talk about mountains, you can never miss the “Sherpa” – the native inhabitants of these lands and legendary conquerors of mountains. In Khumbu, you will see how the Sherpa live and what cultures they follow. A rich tapestry of festivals and languages, an experience of Khumbu is something you will not forget for a long time.
To visit the EBC Luxury Trek fly back by Heli, you will need a good level of physical fitness and a regular walking habit. As you will be expected to walk around five hours on daily average, these lands will certainly test your stamina.
