How difficult is the Everest Base Camp trek?

The Everest Base Camp trek difficulty level is considered moderate to difficult. You'll spend 5-7 hours a day on foot and reach 5,555m at Kala Patthar, but no expertise in climbing is necessary. The main difficulty is height, not steepness. Good fitness and proper acclimatization, and training make it possible for motivated individuals.

Can beginners do the Everest Base Camp trek?

Yes, if by "beginner" you mean only that they are low on high-altitude experience, not out of shape. First-timers manage to trek to Everest Base Camp through 2-3 months of training with cardiovascular and leg strength in the lower high hills. 

How long does it take to trek to Everest Base Camp?

The standard Everest Base Camp trek duration is 12 days in total from Kathmandu, including 8-9 days of hiking and a couple of acclimatization days, plus 2 more if you include the flights. Some hike it in as little as 10-11 days (higher risk of altitude sickness/ less acclimatization), others take as long as 14 -16 days to gain height gradually. Length of Everest Base Camp Trek Duration for doing the EBC trek depends on the trip itinerary and the 

How high is Everest Base Camp?

The Everest Base Camp elevation is 5,364m /17,598ft. And most hikers summit Kala Patthar at 5,555 meters (18,209 feet) for even better views of Mount Everest. At these elevations, air pressure delivers just half of sea-level oxygen. How high is Everest base camp, and what altitude are you, as the perennial query goes – it stands at 5,364m or 17,598ft.
