The below-listed gears and equipment you can purchase in the Kathmandu or can be rented in Namche bazaar but understand that buying the sold gears and equipment can run you trek of being the sold cheaper, local equipment many not be too standard to trek in the altitude.

So try to buy the high quality and gears for the Everest Base Camp Trek as you may have to face the very cold condition on the trek.

To pack your packing easy we have listed some necessary gears and equipment for your Everest Base Camp Trek.

Clothing

Upper Body

Base Layer

The base layer is the first layer to wear during the trek, the base layer is very important for the higher altitude and the colder parts of the trek, it means you don't need to wear during the first and last parts of the trek or in the low altitude.

The fit is the most important consideration while deciding on the good base layer.

We normally recommended wearing merino wool base layers as they are very good at moisture away from the body and found at a very affordable price.

Insulation layers

Insulation layers are the second layer which is worn over the base layers. It is usually made from the fleece type materials. Insulation layers can find for both legs and the upper body (torso) bu for the Everest Base camp Trek only Torson second layers is very necessary.

For the trek, we highly recommended a Polartec 200 Fleece Jackets, which is very lightweight which helps for the easy movement in the high altitude while trekking. They are not only very warm but also they are well-priced

You can also buy the well-branded Fleece jackets like The North Face, Helly Hansen, Columbia, and a few others.

Outer Layer

outer layers consist of very warm and waterproof jackets and trousers which are often called the outer layers. These jackets are mainly used for the higher altitude of the trek when the weather gets very cold or rainy.

It is very important gears for the trek as it is the lasting pieces of the clothing you will buy paying a bit more money of the good quality winter jackets to make you adventure trek beautiful so know that you are investing your money in the good things rather than thinking it as the expenses.

We highly recommend the brands for the jackets are North Face, Rab, Mountain Hardware. Jackets can be easily bought in Kathmandu and Namche Bazaar. But the jackets you buy in the Thamel of around the Kathmandu will likely to be fake.

For the trouser, you can buy the ski-like trouser include O'Neills and Trespass.

For the lower body

Trekking trousers and shorts

We highly recommend carrying 1 x pair of the high trousers and 1 x pair of hiking shorts for the Everest base camp trek . as they are for the lower as well as warmer stretches of the trek.

There are many good and brands trekking trousers and short for trekking in high altitudes like Craghoppers, Trespass and Columbia.

Trekking T-shirt

While trekking to the Everest Base Camp you will need around 5-6 shirts that will be worn on most of the trekking days. Normally you should avoid the cotton t-shirt as it absorbs the moisture instead of wicking away the sweat, and provide the very unpleasant smells after the few uses so instead of the cotton shirt uses the ideal fabric as they are very breathable, lightweight and very quick-drying polyester, or nylon. You should carry both a long sleeve and sleeveless.

Waterproof jackets and Trouser

Experiencing the heavy rain on the trail is always a risk, especially if you plan to hike from June to September (so we don't recommend trekking in the Everest region during these months) as it makes the trail slippery, you also need the gear accordingly.

So we recommended you to bring some rain clothing like hardshell jackets. You can use The North Face jackets as they are really good waterproof gear. And as for the touser, you can get waterproof pull-over at very affordable prices.

Underwear

Underwear also needs to be breathable and moisture-wicking so we recommended you to carry the 4-5 pairs of sports underwear and 2 sports bra for the women.

Headwear

Hat

While trekking the Everest Base Camp Trek, you will need a good and wide trekking hat that offers protection from the harmful sun rays. The hat is very easy to pack, lightweight and also covers your neck.

Beanie

A beanie is a warm cap that is must necessary while trekking in the high altitude as they are very cold.

We recommended carrying the North face beanie as they make it in very high quality and keep your head and ears warm and protected from the harmful elements.

Neck gaiter

A neck gaiter is very warm and irreplaceable clothing which can buy n very cheap prices. It will keep your face and neck very warm and also protect you from the Khumbucough as you breathe in the cold mountain air.

We recommended you to carry the warm neck gaiter or the headscarf Bandana to be safe during the trek.

Bandana is not necessary trekking in all seasons, but it is truly necessary while you are trekking in the winter months, to protect you from the heavy snow and extreme cold climate.

Gloves

Gloves are one of the necessary gear for trekking at a very high altitude. As it helps your hands from the frostbite and other elements.

We highly recommended you to carry the two types of the gloves, a lightweight inner gloves that can be very warm and very useful while hiking in the day times, lightweight gloves- this glove is very helpful while hiking in the high altitude like Everest base camp where the temperature is very low.

Inner gloves

Light inner gloves can be used when the temperature is very moderate or can also be used while performing some things such as tying shoelaces.

Outer insulated Gloves

Outer gloves must be warm, waterproof and durable. You don't need to carry the most insulated gloves unless you plan to do some climbing in the region like Island peak, but should protect your hand, keep your hand nice and toasty when the temperature falls below in the freezing point.

If you are looking for the ideal and good quality of the gloves then we recommended you to carry the North Face, Black Diamond, Outdoor research gloves then other.

Footwear

Footwear without any doubt is the very important gear for any trekking in Nepal.

Hiking Boats

Getting a comfortable boot with the right size is probably more important than the band of the shoe.

The boat you buy should be able to fit one finger behind your heel to ensure the boot properly fit you. Too much space for your finger means too big a boot and not enough means too small.

Find the good light-weight hiking boot that offers good ankle support and has the waterproof uppers.

Make sure that you can tie and untie the laces with ease.

You can choose good brands of the boots to include the Hi-tec, Salomon, Karrimor.

Trekking shoes and Sandals

Normally trekking shoes and sandals are also required for your Everest base camp treks. We highly recommended you to trek in a hiking boat then the sandal as it provides much more support during the adventure walk.

If you also carry the trekking shoes you can use it in or out the teahouse, exploring the village and normally hiking.

If you are a sandal person then you can also use sandal while being at the teahouse, roaming here and there and while exploring the villages.

Hiking socks

Good hiking shoes should be very moisture and breathable, so don't choose anything from cotton.

So we recommended you to use Merino wool for the trekking socks.

Good brands include: Smartwool, Coolmax, and Point6

You are walking in a very high altitude so we recommended you to carry 5-6 pairs of hiking socks.

Warm Thermal Sock

Warm Thermal shock is very thicker than the standard trekking socks which are normally used for hiking in the high altitudes.

We recommended Smartwool, wigwam all make comfortable and warm thermal socks.

Make sure to bring 1 pair of Thermal socks.

Gaiter

Gaiter covers the ankle-high opening to your boots and specially designed to prevent water, rocks, mud and many other things else from getting into them.

Up to now, from our experiences, gaiters are not absolutely necessary for trekking during peak season as they are the very warm season.

But they are not too expensive and for safety, you can buy them as they are very affordable and make your legs strong, warm too.

Besides these gears you also need to carry the below-listed things likes:

• Bay pack

• Liner
• Earplugs
• Trekking poles
• Sunglasses
• Headlight

It is very important to know how to eat meals according to your body's needs in the mountain. The Everest Base Camp trek is a moderate trekking journey and enjoying a regular meal at the tea-house or the trekking lodges. Trekking with the easy-to-use vitamins and minerals and helps the trek. the meals and food during the Everest Base Camp Trek Guide are hygienically. It is very important to about certain aspects of the culture of the people living in the mountain villages, follow their tradition and many more. Intaking the good and balanced diet food makes your trek very beautiful. As we knew the Buddhist region does not give killing animals and thus the Sagarmatha national Park don't allow any animals to harm. In the high altitude, the meats are transported from the Kathmandu city. because the village in the Khumbu region is very scattered and along the trekking route to the base camp are located far away from the roads and getting the food supplied to the location by the plane. After that, the food is carried higher in the altitude villages with the help of porter, yaks and other domesticated animals of that region. This leads to the food to the higher altitude. So the food you buy in the low region is low than buying the same in higher altitudes as they charge all these things. For the vast region, the goods are transported from the Kalthamnu to Lukla and from Luka, they are carried in the high altitude villages, bodega.

Due to this reason all, you may not get a wide variety of the foods and meals during the Everest Base Camp Trek Guide. you normally get the flour and cereal food products and meals as they are readily available at the teahouse and lodges. We advise you to eat vegetarian meals rather than non-vegetarian meals because vegetarian food provides you with many nutrients and they are balance diet too and also the meat in the high altitude is not fresh so try to avoid it. You certainly can order meat or fish but as we mentioned above the meat and fish is transported from Kathmandu so it is very difficult to get the fresh meat and fish in high altitude so kt is best to enjoy the vegetarian meals then consuming the nation-vegetarian meals.

Fish dishes are very unlikely to be easily available along the trekking route. The most expensive lodges and the guesthouse might serve you the fish dishes because of the region's relative isolation but the other simple lodges might not serve fishes.

From the starting the trek, it is very best to be properly acclimatized as well and it is very hard to avoid meat products and food rich in fat but you should avoid it and consume easily digestible foods that are light and provide energy are the best way to go.

So during the Everest Base camp Trek consuming the staple food of the country-Dal Bhat is easily available everywhere id one of the best trekking food. Rice fills up the stomach and is eaten with vegetable curry and lentils, which are all great sources of energy.
