Everest Base Camp is one of two base camps on the opposite side of Mount Everest (It can also be Everest base camp on a particular route, but this is less common as two major routes become standard). Base Camp South is located in Nepal at an altitude of 5,364 meters (17,598 feet) ( 28 à ° 0? 26? N And Northern Base Camp is in Tibet at 5,150 meters (16,900 feet) (< span> 28Ã, à ° 8? 29? N 86Ã, à ° 51? 5? E ). These camps are an imperfect campsite on Mount Everest used by mountain climbers during their ascent and descent. South Base Camp is used when climbing through the southeast ridge, while Northern Base Camp is used when climbing through the northeast ridge.
Inventories are sent to South Base Camp by sherpas or porter, and with the help of animals, usually yak. North Base Camp has access to vehicles (at least in summer). Climbers usually rest at base camp for several days to acclimatize to reduce the risk and severity of altitude sickness.

Ascent Base Camp Everest on the south side is one of the most popular trekking routes in the Himalayas and is visited by thousands of trekkers every year. Trekkers usually fly from Kathmandu to Lukla to save time and energy before embarking on a journey to this base camp. However, trekking to Lukla is possible. There is no way from Kathmandu to Lukla and as a result, the only method of transporting large and heavy items is by plane.
By 2015, it is recorded that about 40,000 people a year travel from Lukla airport to Everest Nepal's base camp.
From Lukla, climbers climb to the Namche Bazaar Sherpa capital, 3,440 meters (11,290 ft), following the river valley Dudh Kosi. It takes about two days to reach the village, which is the center of the area. Usually at this point, the climber allows a one-day break for acclimatization. They then travel two more days to Dingboche, 4,260 meters (13,980 ft) before resting for another day for further acclimatization. Two more days took them to Everest Base Camp via Gorakshep, flat field under Kala Patthar, 5,545 meters (18,192 feet) and Mt. Pumori.
On April 25, 2015, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on a magnitude scale at that time, struck Nepal and triggered an avalanche in Pumori that swept through South Base Camp. At least 19 people are said to have died as a result. More than two weeks later, on May 12, the second quake occurred at 7.3 on M w . Some of the paths leading to Everest Base Camp were damaged by this earthquake and need to be repaired.

A visit to the current China-side Base requires permission from the Chinese government, above the necessary permission to visit Tibet itself. Such permits must be arranged through travel companies in Lhasa as part of a tour package which includes renting a vehicle, driver, and guide. The North Base Camp is accessed by a vehicle through a 100 km branched road to the South from Friendship Highway near Shelkar. From Base Camp, all travelers must board a government-run bus to limit traffic on the last stretch of gravel road to a hill that is marked at 5,200 meters above sea level just before the climbing camp. It is also possible to climb from the tourist camp, but only when acclimatized properly. The "Base Camp Tour" is located about half way between Rongbuk Monastery; The real climbing base camp is at the foot of the Rongbuk glacier.
