Instructions for the Hike to Mount Everest's Base Camp

• You can either sign up for a prearranged tour with an agency, go it alone (without a group or guide) and hire a porter or guide, or go it alone without any help at all.
• If you are traveling solo or are unsure of your ability to complete the hike without assistance, an easier but more expensive option is to sign up for a guided trip through an agency.
• You can easily get porters and guides in Kathmandu; just visit any local agency and they will help you assemble the necessary crew.
• It's not hard to do it on your own; all you need to do is book transportation from Kathmandu to Lukla (via airline, bus, or vehicle). There is no need to make reservations because the route is clearly marked and everyone stays in the same small "towns" with numerous tea places.
