Benefits of Trekking on Christmas and New Year
Fewer Crowds
We may anticipate fewer trekkers and tourists during this period because winter is the off-season for hiking to the Everest base camp. During the busy months, the Everest base camp is overrun with tourists, making it difficult for those who like a peaceful setting. Their winter month is an ideal season for trekkers and, of course, a great time to celebrate Christmas and New Year. The less busy trails in winter also make it easier to take in the scenery and local culture.
Excellent Views
Christmas and New Year trek usually take place in the winter season. This means you will be rewarded with the best breathtaking vistas of the snow-covered mountain summits. You can see the mountains and surrounding scenery without any obstructions. You can witness views of level meadows when trekking to Everest Base Camp. You may also take in the stunning snow-capped summits.
Thus statements especially seem true for locations like Namche Bazaar, Khumbu Glacier, and Kala Patthar. These settlements in the region provide some of the world's most ideal settings in winter.
Additionally, it is the ideal moment to capture the scenery and mountains on camera. The views are breathtaking and clear, but there is also very little possibility of being photobombed by other hikers.
The greatest picture locations are yours to own with extremely few hikers. As a result, you may enjoy yourself more and snap the greatest pictures.
Easy Accommodation
Compared to the high season, the winter season, where Christmas and New Year fall, is less crowded with tourists and trekkers. As a result, plenty of flights with seats are available to and from Lukla. The likelihood of not receiving the flights on time is relatively low. The same holds true for accommodations. Many tea houses and lodges will urge you to stay with them in the winter holidays. Thus, you will receive the owners of the tea house or lodge's entire attention and excellent hospitality.
Observe Other Festivals -
Tamu Lhosar usually falls in December since Hindu and Buddhist holidays are lunar-based and can alternate between December and January. Lhosar is the Tibetan Buddhist New Year. However, several ethnic groups in Nepal observe various Lhosar festivities, some of which last until the end of February. Tamu Lhosar is a festive occasion in Kathmandu observed by the Gurung, Magar, and Tamang people.
A hike to the Everest Base is undoubtedly a remarkable way to spend New Year's Eve. On December 31, try to be at Namche Bazaar or EBC to enjoy Himalayan nightlife. The little town has pubs and restaurants, but remember that alcohol's effects tend to be stronger and more immediate at altitude, so you don't want to blow your January 1.
Difficulties of Christmas New Year Everest Base Camp Trek
Short Winter days
As we said earlier, Christmas and New Year treks take place in the winter season, and the days will be shorter in the Everest region. As a result, you must hike early to get there before it becomes dark and chilly. Less time is spent hiking overall. Hence, you have less time to unwind.
Altitude Sickness
Christmas New Year Everest Base Camp Trek is a high-altitude trek. This means EBC must be conquered by climbing higher than 5300 meters in the winter month. The chance of getting altitude sickness is thus increased while traveling to higher elevations. Altitude sickness can be prevented if a few guidelines are followed. Never attempt to keep up with the others' pace; instead, always walk at your speed. For the anxious ones, our trek professionals are there to assist you throughout the trek. Consult with our journey experts if you have any problems.
Freezing Temperature and Piles of Deep Snow
In the Everest area, December and January are among the coldest months. It might be sunny and cold during the day. However, it is below freezing at night and in the early morning hours. Therefore, if you are not careful and don't have the right gear, you run the risk of getting frostbite.
You will encounter areas with thick snow hovers at higher altitudes. As a result, you could have to navigate deep snow. The pathways may become covered with snow. During these occasions, be careful to adhere to your guides' instructions. Otherwise, you risk getting lost and losing your route to your goal to reach the Everest base camp on Christmas or New Year.
The Route to Christmas New Year Everest Base Camp
Your EBC New Year and Christmas journey begins around 1 week early with the aim of reaching EBC on Christmas Day or New Year. You depart from Kathmandu to Lukla following a 25-minute scenic flight in the early morning. Then, you will go via the Phakding, Namche Bazaar, along with the Sherpa Village, with its distinctive culture and spectacular Mountain View, to reach the Everest Base Camp. The Snow Leopard and the enigmatic "Yeti" both call this region home.
As you travel down the path, you will pass several suspension bridges over the same river; nevertheless, you may occasionally become backed up in yak traffic for a bit.
The route afterward enters the Himalayas directly, passing through the renowned medieval trading town of Namche Bazaar, the Buddhist monastery Tengboche, Dingboche, and finally reaching Everest Base Camp on Christmas Day or New Year's Eve.
The major draw of this trek is, of course, celebrating Christmas Day and New Year in Everest Base Camp (5,364m), which is also home to Mount Everest (8,848m), Kalapatter (5,550m), the Khumbu glacier, and the icefall. Due to its breathtaking natural features, such as fantastic views of the Southwest face of the enormous Mount Everest from a close distance, and other mountains, such as Lhotse (8510m), Nupse (7879m), Pumori (7145m), Amadablam (6814m), Thamserku (6723m), and Kusumkagru (6370m), Everest Base Camp New Year Vacation is arguably one of the most well-known in the entire world. It is also referred to as Kalapathar Trekking for this reason.

Packing List for Winter Trekking up to 5,600 m
Hiking in the winter demands more detailed planning and preparation, more time, outdoor knowledge, skills, and—possibly most easily overlooked—more outdoor experience. Similarly, better judgment and a more careful ascent to the attitude are required throughout the winter.
If you are interested in our Christmas New Year Everest Base Camp Trek, which takes place in the winter season of Nepal, then trekkers must be aware of what they're getting into, check the weather, tell a friend about their plans, and dress in and carrying the proper gear for the season and terrain.

Acclimatizing to the High Altitude
Acclimatization, to put it simply, is allowing your body enough time to adapt to the changes brought on by the higher altitude. The air gets increasingly difficult to breathe as you ascend above sea level. Your respiration and heart rate increase and your body alters its internal mechanisms for the environmental shift. One such adjustment is the suppression of non-essential bodily functions. Acclimatization occurs when you give your body enough time to adjust its internal defenses against this rather quick shift in altitude.
Even the greatest hikers in terms of physical condition need to become acclimated. In reality, acclimatization is necessary for everyone who travels to higher elevations, like the Everest Base Camp trek in winter. The only justification for its necessity is to prevent AMS or acute mountain sickness while trekking. According to general data, 84% of trekkers who fly directly to 3860m (Tengboche on the Everest Base Camp Trek is at (3860m), and 50% of trekkers who walk to an altitude greater than 4000m over five or more days get acute mountain sickness. Thus, acclimatization is necessary to avoid difficulties at higher altitudes, no matter how athletic a person is.
Last Minute Booking Available for Christmas New Year Everest Base Camp Trek
Trekking to Everest base camp in the winter is generally considered impossible due to the very harsh weather conditions. Therefore, most trekking organizers do not organize any treks to the Everest base camp in winter.
However, we here offer Christmas New Year Everest Base Camp Trek deals till the end of November. For this trek, you must book at least a month or at least 2 weeks before the festive day, i.e., Christmas Day and New Year.
Booking the trek early helps you and the tour organizer prepare for the journey to Everest Base Camp. The flight to Lukla is the only important issue with last-minute Mount Everest base camp trip offers.
