The Everest Trek - What You Really Should Expect!

Adventure: “An enterprise of hazard; a bold undertaking, in which hazards are to be encountered, and the issue is staked upon unforeseen events.”
Webster’s American Dictionary.

Welcome bold adventurers to Nepal! Now, we are sure that everyone on our Base Camp Treks knows exactly what they are getting into when they travel to a remote part of the world to ascend to the base camp of the World’s tallest mountain, but just in case your biggest adventure in the last year was walking around London without Google Maps, then here are the top 10 things that may surprise you while trekking. A little bit of mental preparedness goes a long way.


The weather and climate of Mount Everest is one of extremes. Temperatures at the summit are never above freezing and during January temperatures can drop as low as -60° C (-76° F). Despite the low temperatures the biggest issue faced by climbers are hurricane force winds and wind chill. When the jet stream dips south during the winter hurricane force winds may develop reaching more than 285 km/h (177 mph). These winds relax in the month of May and most climbers try to attempt the peak during this short window.
