Can you stay at Everest Base Camp ?

Yes, you can stay at various points along the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek. The EBC trek is well-developed with a range of accommodation options in villages along the route of Everest region.

Staying overnight at Everest Base Camp (EBC) is not typically permitted, as it is primarily used as a temporary base for climbers preparing to summit Mount Everest. The camp is set up with tents and basic facilities, but these are intended for mountaineering expeditions rather than trekkers.

However, you can visit EBC as part of a trekking route. Trekkers usually stay in nearby villages such as Gorak Shep, which is the last stop before EBC and offers basic accommodation and facilities. From Gorak Shep, trekkers can make a day trip to EBC and return to Gorak Shep to sleep.sleeping-at-everest-base-camp-trekking

Here's a typical itinerary highlighting the common overnight stops:

  1. Lukla (2,860 m): The starting point of the trek, with several lodges and guesthouses.
  2. Phakding (2,610 m): A common first stop, offering various tea houses and lodges.
  3. Namche Bazaar (3,440 m): The largest town in the Khumbu region, with a wide range of accommodations and amenities.
  4. Tengboche (3,860 m): Famous for its monastery, with several lodges and guesthouses.
  5. Dingboche (4,410 m): A popular acclimatization stop, offering several tea houses.
  6. Lobuche (4,910 m): Limited but sufficient accommodations for trekkers.
  7. Gorak Shep (5,170 m): The last stop before EBC, with a few basic lodges.

From Gorak Shep, you can make a day trip to EBC and return to sleep at Gorak Shep. This allows you to visit EBC without the need to stay overnight at the base camp itself, which is primarily a temporary camp for climbers.

If you're looking for a more immersive experience, some trekking packages include the opportunity to spend a few hours at EBC, allowing you to explore the area and experience the environment where climbers prepare for their summit attempts.
