If you’re trekking to Everest Base Camp, it ought to be because you’re seeking a big adventure in remote terrain and a harsh environment with a good serving of physical and mental challenge thrown in. If you want comfort and luxury, you should probably go pretty much anywhere else on the planet. But that doesn’t mean that you’ll have to go for 11 days without charging your phone or seeing a proper toilet.
I spent months before my trek making sure I had all the right equipment and supplies so that I could be safe and comfortable, but when I arrived I discovered that a whole industry has sprung up in the Khumbu region to make sure trekkers have everything they need (and want).
