The route
Before you go
Wi-Fi is available at most teahouses along the Everest Base Camp trek, especially in lower villages like Lukla, Namche Bazaar, and Dingboche. However, the connection becomes slower and less reliable at higher altitudes. Many lodges charge a small fee for Wi-Fi access, which increases as you go higher on the trail.
Mobile network coverage is available in parts of the Everest Base Camp trek, mainly in lower regions like Lukla, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar. Nepal Telecom (NTC) generally has better coverage in higher areas compared to Ncell, though both networks become unreliable above Namche. There are several dead zones in remote and high-altitude sections, especially after Dingboche.
Charging facilities are available at most teahouses along the Everest Base Camp trek, but they usually come at an extra cost per device, which increases with altitude. Charging is commonly powered by solar or limited electricity, so availability can be restricted during peak seasons.
Safe drinking water is available throughout the Everest Base Camp trek, mainly through teahouses and refill stations. Trekkers can buy boiled water (USD 1–3 per liter) or use purification tablets, UV filters, or portable filters. Bottled water is available in lower areas but becomes expensive and less eco-friendly at higher altitudes. It is recommended to carry a reusable bottle and drink 3–4 liters of water daily.
