November, the last month of the trekking season, is one of the best times to trek Everest Base Camp at 5,364 m (17,598 ft). But why November? Everest Base Camp Trek in November is neither freezing cold nor super hot or wet. Further, the stable weather provides clear skies, which makes the views of the mountains heavenly.

Also, there is a high chance to encounter Himalayan fauna such as musk deer, Yellow-throated marten, Himalayan tahr, Himalayan blue sheep, Himalayan wolf, and Snow leopard, among others.

Just imagine how it would feel to walk in the great trails of the EBC in November with pleasant weather, playing hide and seek with mountains, and a surprise encounter with Himalayan Fauna. Of course, roaming in wonderland.

Indeed, the Everest Base Camp trek is a world-popular destination for enthusiastic trekkers, with almost 40,000 people in a year from Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla (2,846 m). Since November is the highly trekked season, Kathmandu to Lukla flight is quite busy. But there is nothing to worry about. There is lots of other alternative: Ramechhap Airport which is 4 hours drive from Kathmandu. Further, trekking to Luka is possible but it consumes more time and effort. Since no road directly connects Kathmandu to Lukla, the airways have become the sole means of transportation in the Everest region.

Let’s explore the EBC route in November: From Lukla, trekkers ascend upward to reach the popular Sherpa capital, Namche Bazaar, passing through the valley of the frothy white river, the Dudh Kosi. Usually, people rest at Namche Bazaar for acclimatization, side by side exploring the Sherpa community.

Trek to Tengboche (3,860m/12,661ft) and then Dingboche (4,410m/14,465ft). Dingboche is the second acclimation point of this trek. It takes another two days to reach Everest Base Camp, hiking via Lobuche and then Gorak Shep 5,164 meters (16,942 ft), the original Mt. Everest base camp, and finally, the awaiting destination, EBC. Wait, it’s not an end.

From EBC, trekkers ascend to Kala Patthar (5550m/18,204ft); Kalapathar offers majestic views of the world’s highest mountain, Everest (8,848.86 m, 29,031 ft), and other peaks such as Nuptse 7,861 m (25,791 ft), Changtse (7,543 m (24,747 ft)), and Lhotse (8,516 m (27,940 ft)) among others. Now, trekkers descend to Pheriche (4,240m/13,908ft). From Pheriche, get down to Namche Bazaar and to Lukla, and back to Kathmandu.

What’s more? If you’re trekking the Everest Base Camp in early November, you may witness the three-day festival of Sherpa, Mani Rimdu, at Thyangboche Monastery. The celebration is renowned for its colorful masked dances: the twirling ‘Black Hat’ dancers chase away evil demons. Further, the monks play Tibetan horns.

Finding accommodation

Can beginners trek to Everest Base Camp In November?

Everest Base Camp Trek is relatively moderate if you are in good shape with a sound mind. Though you don't need any specific climbing techniques or past experience, however, getting yourself into the Everest Base Camp is not an easy game. You must be disciplined and have great patience along with a great physique. The highest point you will step in this trek is at 5,550m in Kala Patthar. However, you will not be resting overnight at this elevation.

The standard itinerary of the EBC trek is 14 days. In this journey, you will spend 11 days on the trail. That means 10 days of total hiking and one day of acclamation at the Namche Bazaar. Preparing yourself beforehand for your trek by adding cardio into your daily routine. Avoid alcoholic beverages and quit smoking.

The trekking path is not so gentle; you will find yourself on an unpaved gravel route with some steep uphill portions and downhill. You will walk on the trail for a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 8-hour elevation gain of 400 to 600 meters daily. The walk will not be continuous, though. You can rest for some time during your walk and stop at the tea house for lunch and snacks.

Nevertheless, the accommodation is first class, though at a high altitude. You will rest at a cozy tea house available on the trails at night.

Lukla Flight

Getting into the Everest region is an adventure of its own, and the Lukla flights add extra flavor to it. Almost every trek in the Everest region starts with a flight from Kathmandu to the Tenzing-Hillary airport in Lukla, situated proudly at 9400 feet elevation (2,860 m).

Notorious as the most dangerous in the world, the Tenzing-Hillary airport is the main transportation means for the Everest Base Camp trek and many other trekking regions in Everest.

The flying time is short, only varying from 30 to 45 minutes. Look down from your window seat, and you will drop your jaw witnessing various landscapes within a few minutes. From the valley to green hills to mountains.

Since November is the peak time of the trekking season, some flights are diverted to the Ramechap Airport.

Internet Connection

In the early days, satellite phones, including Everest Base Camp, were highly preferable in the Everest region. Coming to 2023, the internet has played a vital role in this region too. Despite the fact that the EBC Trek is the world’s highest trekking trail, it possesses the internet accessibility.

Now, share the live views of your Everest Base Camp trek moments with your loved ones through video calls. Update daily Everest posts.

In the lower region, Wi-fi is easily available at all teahouses and free at some as well up to Gorak Shep. The tea house does cost a penny for the wifi service at Lukla, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar. After that, Khumjung to Gorakshep, and the tea house charges $3 to $7 per hour for wifi service.

Besides wifi, mobile data has become a good option nowadays. Both leading network of the country: Nepal Telecom and Ncell, provides data internet services in the Everest region.

What’s more? A local internet-providing service called Everest Link is available in the region, which provides internet access on the trail, charging for a certain amount.

Availability Of Drinking Water

Being hydrating on a trek is very important. Walking and climbing the whole day exposes your body to dehydration, which is riskiness. It is highly recommended that trekker should drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily.

Like every single product, bottled water is expensive. Hence, carrying a reusable water bottle to refill water from available spots is a great idea. However, drinking water directly from the tap or anywhere else is no less than dangerous. Then what to do?

Water purification tablets (chlorine or iodine tablets) can be used to treat the water, which is easily available in pharmacies. But the use of those tablets can alter the taste of water. For better taste, you can add flavored electrolyte powder which is beneficial as it provides the minerals like magnesium, sodium, and potassium.

Moreover, teahouses provide boiled drinking water at an additional cost between $1 to $4. The higher you ascend, the higher the cost of water.

Travel Insurance

If the Everest Base Camp trek is on your list, travel insurance is significant in the first place. Since EBC takes you to high as 5644 m, getting your travel insurance done is the safest step.

Though our experience agents take safety as the number one priority, no one can rule out emergencies and accidents that may happen. Trekkers may experience Acute Mountain Sickness at a higher altitude due to low oxygen availability. If not treated on time, it turns fatal. Furthermore, trekking in a mountainous area always comes with unreliability.

Therefore, ensure that your insurance policy protects you from the cost of all injuries and, most importantly, helicopter evacuation and hospitalization in case of a severe medical emergency

Please read all the policies before you sign.

Accommodation

The Everest Base Camp trek in November is entirely the teahouse trek. Teahouses on the trail come with various grades depending upon the price range. Higher the price, higher room standard, and vice versa.

How are rooms in the trails? Well, most of the single rooms consist of two single beds and some furniture like chairs and tables. Furthermore, there is less chance you have an attached bathroom. Basically, there is a common bathroom.

You may find a Western-style toilet in the lower elevation, but as you ascend to the higher elevation, you will find a squat toilet or just a small hut outside the teahouse with a hole in the floor above a deep pit.

Moreover, the tea house provides cold showers for free, but they will charge you $1-$3 for hot showers. Additionally, some tea houses demand $2-$3 per hour to charge your electronic devices.
