Trek Requirements

The Super Everest Comfort New – 11 Days trek is suitable for trekkers with a moderate level of fitness and a strong interest in cultural and scenic exploration. This trek does not require prior high-altitude experience, making it ideal for both first-time trekkers and experienced hikers seeking a more relaxed pace in the Everest region. Participants should be comfortable walking for 4–6 hours per day on varied terrain, including some uphill sections and uneven trails. While the itinerary is designed to maximize comfort and acclimatization, maintaining a good fitness routine—such as regular walking, light hiking, or cardio workouts—a few weeks before the trek is recommended.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to undertake the Super Everest Comfort New – 11 Days Trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months offer the most stable weather conditions, clear mountain views, and pleasant daytime temperatures, making your trekking experience safe, scenic, and enjoyable.

In spring, the trails are alive with blooming rhododendrons, lush greenery, and warmer days. It’s an excellent time for nature lovers and photographers, with vibrant landscapes and clear skies providing breathtaking views of Everest, Ama Dablam, and surrounding peaks.

Autumn, following the monsoon, brings crisp air, minimal rainfall, and some of the clearest Himalayan panoramas of the year. This is also the peak season for trekking in the Everest region due to ideal weather and festive atmosphere, as it coincides with major Nepali festivals like Dashain and Tihar.

While winter (December to February) can offer quiet trails and beautiful snow-covered scenery, temperatures drop significantly, especially at higher elevations. Trekking is still possible but requires additional preparation for cold weather. Summer/monsoon season (June to August) is generally not recommended due to heavy rains, slippery trails, and limited visibility.

For the best combination of comfort, views, and cultural experiences, spring and autumn are highly recommended for the Super Everest Comfort New Trek

Physical Fitness and Trekking Requirements

The Super Everest Comfort New Trek is designed for trekkers of moderate fitness levels who are looking to enjoy the beauty of the Everest region without the extreme physical demands of high-pass or peak-climbing routes. While no prior high-altitude trekking experience is required, participants should be in good health and capable of walking 4–6 hours a day over varied terrain. The trek includes gradual ascents, stone steps, and occasional steep sections. To prepare, it’s recommended to engage in regular cardio exercises such as hiking, walking, cycling, or swimming at least 3–4 times per week in the weeks leading up to the trip. Stretching, light strength training, and walking with a loaded backpack will also improve endurance and comfort during the trek.

Lukla Flight and Alternative Options

The Lukla flight is the most common and convenient way to begin the Everest Comfort Trek. Lukla, home to the Tenzing-Hillary Airport (2,800m), is a small mountain airstrip and serves as the gateway to the entire Everest region. Flights to Lukla typically depart from Ramechhap Airport (about 4–5 hours' drive from Kathmandu) during the peak trekking seasons — spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) — to avoid congestion and air traffic at Kathmandu Airport. During the off-season or in rare cases, flights may still operate directly from Kathmandu.

Lukla flights are highly weather-dependent, as the mountainous terrain and short runway make flying in poor visibility dangerous. Delays and cancellations are common, especially during the monsoon or winter months. Trekkers should always build buffer days into their itinerary for flexibility in case of delays.

Alternative Options to Reach Lukla or the Trailhead:

• Helicopter Flights: A faster, more reliable but expensive alternative. Helicopter flights to Lukla (or directly to Namche in some cases) are available and often used when regular flights are canceled or delayed.
• Overland + Trekking Route (Jiri or Phaplu): For those who want to avoid flying altogether, it's possible to travel by road to Jiri or Phaplu, followed by several days of trekking to reach Lukla or Namche. This classic route adds 5–7 extra days but offers a more gradual acclimatization and scenic introduction to the Khumbu region.

No matter the route, the Alpine Club of Himalaya assists with all logistics, including flight bookings, transportation to Ramechhap, and alternative travel plans if needed, ensuring a smooth start to your trek regardless of conditions

Altitude Sickness and Acclimatization Preparation

Although the Super Everest Comfort New Trek does not go to extreme altitudes compared to other Everest routes, altitude sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness or AMS) can still occur as elevations exceed 3,000 meters. To reduce the risk, it’s essential to prepare your body before the trek with good physical conditioning and by learning about altitude symptoms. Staying well-hydrated, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and ascending gradually are key preventive measures. Medications like Diamox can also be used under a doctor’s advice. It’s important to listen to your body and inform your guide immediately if you experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, or shortness of breath.

Acclimatization During the Trek

The itinerary for the Super Everest Comfort New Trek includes built-in acclimatization days, particularly in places like Namche Bazaar, to help your body adjust to higher altitudes gradually. These rest days are not just for relaxation but include light hikes to higher elevations followed by rest at lower altitudes — a proven method for safe altitude adaptation known as “climb high, sleep low.” The Alpine Club of Himalaya carefully designs the trekking schedule to prioritize your health and comfort, allowing sufficient time for your body to adapt while still making steady progress along the trail. This planned acclimatization significantly reduces the risk of altitude-related issues.

Guide and Porter Services

Hiring a licensed trekking guide and porter through a reputable company like Alpine Club of Himalaya significantly enhances the safety and enjoyment of your trek. A professional guide not only ensures proper acclimatization and route navigation but also shares insights into the local culture, customs, and geography.

A porter carries your main luggage, allowing you to trek with just a light daypack. For comfort and ethical labor practices, one porter is assigned for every two trekkers, ensuring the workload is manageable and fair. This arrangement allows you to focus on the journey while supporting the local economy responsibly.

Meals During the Trek

During the Super Everest Comfort New Trek, meals are provided at comfortable teahouses and lodges along the trail. You can expect a variety of freshly prepared dishes, including both local Nepali and international options. A typical meal includes dal bhat (rice, lentils, and vegetables), noodles, pasta, fried rice, soups, and occasionally eggs or meat. Breakfast often includes items like pancakes, porridge, toast, eggs, and tea or coffee. Vegetarian options are widely available and recommended for better digestion at altitude. The Alpine Club of Himalaya ensures that meals during the trek are nutritious, hygienic, and energy-rich, helping you maintain stamina and strength throughout your journey.

Drinking Water on the Trail

Staying hydrated is essential during your trek in the Everest region. While bottled water is available for purchase in most villages, it is more eco-friendly and cost-effective to use purification methods. Boiled water can be obtained at lodges for a small fee, and you are encouraged to bring water purification tablets, UV filters, or portable purifiers to treat tap or stream water safely. The Alpine Club of Himalaya supports sustainable trekking practices and recommends carrying two refillable water bottles or a hydration bladder to ensure you drink plenty of fluids daily and reduce plastic waste on the trail.

Accommodation

Accommodation on the Super Everest Comfort New Trek is carefully selected for cleanliness, comfort, and mountain hospitality. You’ll stay in traditional teahouses and upgraded lodges that offer cozy twin-sharing rooms with clean bedding and shared or attached bathrooms, depending on the location. Most accommodations provide warm dining areas, charging facilities (for a small fee), and basic Wi-Fi services at lower elevations. While amenities may become more basic at higher altitudes, the Alpine Club of Himalaya ensures you are always accommodated in trusted, well-managed lodges that offer a safe and restful environment after a day’s trek.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is a must-have for anyone joining the Super Everest Comfort New Trek. It should cover high-altitude trekking (up to at least 4,000 meters) and include emergency medical evacuation, trip delays, cancellations, and loss or theft of baggage or equipment. While the trek is designed for safety and comfort, unpredictable weather, health issues, or flight disruptions in mountainous regions can occur. Having comprehensive insurance gives you peace of mind and ensures that you receive proper medical treatment or evacuation if needed. The Alpine Club of Himalaya strongly advises all trekkers to review their insurance policy in advance and carry proof of coverage during the trek.

Passport and Visa Requirements

To enter Nepal and participate in the Super Everest Comfort New Trek, all international travelers must have a valid passport with at least six months’ validity from the date of entry. A Nepal entry visa is required for most nationalities and can be obtained either on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or through a Nepali embassy or consulate in your home country. It’s advisable to carry a few passport-sized photos and keep both physical and digital copies of your passport and visa. Visa extensions can be arranged if needed, but travelers should plan their stay and trek duration accordingly to avoid any disruptions.

Acclimatization During the Trek

Acclimatization is a critical component of the Super Everest Comfort New Trek, even though it stays below extreme altitudes. The itinerary is thoughtfully designed by the Alpine Club of Himalaya to include gradual elevation gain and sufficient rest periods, allowing your body to adjust naturally to the thinning air. Key locations such as Namche Bazaar offer designated acclimatization days, where you’ll engage in short hikes to higher elevations and descend to sleep at lower altitudes—an approach proven to reduce the risk of altitude sickness. The pacing of the trek ensures that you gain altitude safely, maintaining your health and energy levels throughout the journey. Our experienced guides monitor your condition daily and provide tips to stay hydrated and acclimatized properly.

Entry Permits and Trekking Authorization

To legally participate in the Super Everest Comfort New Trek, trekkers are required to obtain specific permits authorized by the Nepalese government. These include:

·        Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit – Required to enter the Everest region, which is a protected conservation area.

·        Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit – This local permit replaces the previously required TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card for the Everest region.

These permits are typically arranged on your behalf by the Alpine Club of Himalaya, ensuring a hassle-free start to your trek. You must carry the permits with you at all times during the trek, as they are often checked at various entry points and checkpoints. Accurate documentation, including a valid passport and a few passport-sized photos, may be needed during the permit application process.

Final Notes

Before embarking on the Super Everest Comfort New Trek, it is vital to ensure that all your gear is thoroughly tested and properly fitted. Ill-fitting boots, untried technical equipment, or unfamiliar layering systems can cause discomfort or pose safety risks at high altitude. It is equally important to test your backpack’s load-bearing comfort well in advance of your departure. Proper physical preparation, reliable and tested gear, and open communication with your guiding company will help ensure a smooth, safe, and memorable Himalayan adventure. The Alpine Club of Himalaya is committed to supporting you throughout your trek, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns before or during the journey.
