What Happens Before Your Everest Base Camp Climb?
Do you have a contract for me to sign when I arrive in Kathmandu?
We donβt operate out of Kathmandu, but when we collect you we ask you to sign a declaration and conditions of participation. Let us know if you wish us to email this to you.
Do you check the client's items the night before to ensure they are well equipped?
Not if your flight is delayed or arrives late at night to your hotel, which is very often the case with people being so busy these days and barely squeezing in a climb between their flights.
But when a climber reaches Kathmandu with enough time to afford a kit check our standard operating procedure is to meet them at their hotel at 1800 on the evening immediately preceding their climb. The guide then delivers a short brief, all hired gear, and checks the climberβs own gear for suitability. Any deficiencies are then resolved overnight and it is hoped that by 0730 when we collect the climber everything is squared away and we can proceed to the hill without delays.
Are you able to advise where I can hire a good quality down jacket?
Team Mount Everest provides quality down jacket to our clients for the trek. This is included in the costs. Check out our Everest Base Camp equipment checklist π₯ .
The Yoga retreat camp is nestled in Nagarkot, a tranquil village in the Bhaktapur district, about 25 km from Kathmandu. The drive from Kathmandu takes around 2 hours. This peaceful location offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas and is surrounded by lush green hills, making it the perfect retreat for those seeking peace and a connection with nature. The retreat features a blend of daily yoga, meditation, sound healing sessions, and hikes in the nearby hills.
