The trek to Everest Base Camp is not technical, but it is long and high. The mountains are the reward; the altitude is the price.

## Getting there

Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, one of the shortest runways in the world.

## Where to stay

Tea houses along the route, simple and warm.

## What I would do differently

I would add two rest days. Altitude does not care about plans.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
