Everest Honeymoon Escape Trek Difficulty

This trek is rated moderate to challenging, with walking days averaging 5–7 hours. The terrain includes steep ascents, rocky trails, and suspension bridges over glacial rivers. Good physical fitness and some prior hiking experience are highly recommended. The route is non-technical but demands stamina and respect for altitude.

The risk of altitude sickness increases above 3,000 m. The itinerary includes one acclimatisation day at Namche Bazaar to ensure a safe ascent.

Our guides are trained to recognise symptoms and will prioritise your safety at all times. Immediate descent is the only safe remedy for severe AMS.

Preventive measures:

  • Stay well-hydrated (3–4 L/day).
  • Walk slowly and rest adequately.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking at altitude.
  • Report any headache, dizziness, or nausea early.
  • Use Diamox only under medical advice.
  • Descend immediately if symptoms worsen.

Travel Insurance

Comprehensive travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking (above 5,500 m) and helicopter evacuationis mandatory for this trek.

Training

Prepare with 6–8 weeks of pre-trek conditioning, focusing on:

  • Cardio workouts (running, cycling, swimming).
  • Hill or stair climbs carrying a backpack.
  • Strength training for legs and core.
  • Being physically fit makes the trek more enjoyable and reduces fatigue at altitude.

Best Time to Trek

The most popular seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), when skies are clear, the weather is stable, and trails are vibrant with life.

Avoid the monsoon (June–August) due to rain and potential flight delays, and winter (December–February) for extreme cold and heavy snow at higher elevations.
