Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding a rest day or exploring the surrounding valleys of Everest. If you have less time, you could do a shorter version of this trek, such as the Everest View Trek. Don't forget to carry enough warm clothes, sunscreen, and other essential items for high-altitude trekking. Make sure to pack light and hire a guide or a porter if necessary.
