Everest Base Camp Trek Elevation: How long is the trek from Everest Base Camp to the summit?

Mt. Everest is the very best peak in the world. EBC Trek Elevation can be a problem for travelers wishing to take on the problematic factors and have the time of their life. Talking about the elevation you gain every day, the first day is from Kathmandu to Lukla, and the altitude of Lukla is 2840 meters. The top of Mount Everest is 8,848 m, with Everest Base Camp being the lowest of Mt. Everest at a height of 5,364m. The very best point of the Everest Base Camp Tour is Kala Patthar, 5643m, from where the excellent sight of Everest never leaves your memory. Not to forget, walking for 5-6 hours consistent with the day and 400m – 700m is a must. Everest Base Camp Trek Altitude goes from Lukla 2640m to Kala Patthar 5643m.

Most people confuse Everest Base Camp Trek with Mount Everest Summit Expedition. Both are different. During the Everest Base Camp Trek, you get to the highest elevation of 5,364m which is at the lowest base of Everest. Meanwhile, Summit Expedition is dangerous, and you need to have immense training and permits from the government. The distance from Everest Base Camp to the summit is around 69 km. Trails above the Everest Base Camp are impossible for beginner-level and moderate-level trekkers. The hard-hitting steep climbing, altitude sickness, fear of death, and icefall make the trail above the base camp a feat only for some chosen people who risk their lives just to summit the highest peak.

Everest Base Camp Climate, Weather, Temperature

Before coming to EBC Trek, every trekker should research the climate and weather. You don’t get a frigid environment, and the temperature is moderate. Meanwhile, December-February is about extreme cold, and the snowfall is enormous. So, it is not usually suggested to go to EBC Trek during the winter. Similarly, June-August is a wet season, and the trails become incredibly slippery. September-November and March-May is the best time for an EBC Trek. You get to enjoy the trip as there is a gorgeous view of the mountain vistas with no obstruction, and there are no slippery trails.

Is Everest Base Camp harder than Kilimanjaro?

Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain, and Everest is the world's highest peak. Most people debate over which one is harder than the other. Most people say that Kilimanjaro is more challenging than Everest Base Camp, while others say the opposite. Well, Both treks are challenging at a certain level. At the same time, Kilimanjaro is a trek where you need to summit at night.

Meanwhile, during EBC Trek, you can hike in the daytime. During Everest Base Camp Trek, you have a uniform altitude gain each day, whereas summiting Kilimanjaro demands an uneven climb. Trekking at night is usually tricky as during the daytime. Seven routes are taking you up to Kilimanjaro. Shorter the trek routes, the more challenging they are. Meanwhile, EBC Trek being a popular trek, there is a well-established route with less rugged trails.

All in all, Kilimanjaro is a more challenging climb than Everest Base Camp. However, it doesn’t mean that Everest Base Camp is an easy climb. Both treks demand you to be in your best physical shape possible with strong willpower.
