Two acclimatization rest days are mandatory before you reach 5000m of elevation above sea level to avoid altitude sickness.

If you do not have enough time for a regular Mt.Everest base camp trek or dislike using the same trail back to Lukla, you have a shorter package for the EBc tour. A 9-day trek return by helicopter can be one of the best options for the Everest trip in 2023.
