• Where can I get permit,  and their cost?

There are 2 check post at ‘Monjo’ on the trail (in between Phakding and Namche Bazaar),

permit 1: Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality’ fee 2000 NPR ( 1250 IINR) at Tok Tok just 2 kilometers from Phakding.

permit 2: for National Park Entrance Permit' fee 1500 NPR( 937 INR) at Manjo. 
( 3000 NPR for non-SAARC nations).


• Is there electricity? Can I recharge my device?

Yes, you can charge your electronic device at every tea house but they will charge you right above from Lukla. They might take 100-300 NPR for an hour or full charge. Instead carry your portable solar panel or power banks wrapped in the woolen cloth to avoid discharge due to cold.

• What are the prerequisites or fitness required to do EBC?

• I didn’t fly to Lukla, which made me trek long way; an addition of 100 km. Being very much laid and commercial, EBC will stand out to be a difficult trek with its ascends, long distance, rucksack on back.
