Everest Base Camp facts
- The first men known to reach the Everest Base Camp were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, before they successfully scaled Everest itself.
- You can’t see Everest from base camp but there are plenty of stunning views along the route.
- Rare species of birds can be found in the area, including Himalayan Monal, Red-Billed Cough and also Blood Pheasant.
- There is 50% less oxygen at base camp than at sea level, making acclimatisation essential.
- Supplies have to be delivered on the route by porters, yaks or mules. There are no roads and helicopters are too expensive for most businesses. Therefore, be prepared to pay more the higher you go.
