Trek Grade For Salleri To Everest Base Camp Trek

The Everest base camp trek is graded as a moderate-level difficulty trek with no any technical difficulties on the trail. This trek will take you to a higher elevation of 5364 meters at the base camp. Inclining to a higher altitude is one of the critical factors that has increased the difficulty level of this trek.

Moreover, the routes consist of rocky terrain with steep ascent and descent, river gorges, and stony staircases due to difficult topography, which can be considered as challenging factors in the Salleri to Everest Base Camp trek. Additionally, the total distance to be covered during this journey is about 145 km, with approximately 6 to 8 hours of hiking daily. Despite all these factors, the visions of snow-capped mountains and connecting with nature make this trek rewarding.

AMS And Its Remedy

Acute Mountain sickness is one of the common effects suffered by trekkers when they are inclined to a higher altitude. This effect occurs above 3000 m above sea level. When a person is exposed to acute low partial oxygen pressure, then they feel symptoms like nausea, headache, fatigue, short breath, insomnia, lack of appetite, etc.

So, to avoid AMS, you should acclimatize properly, slowing your body to adapt to the lower level of oxygen at a higher altitude. Moreover, during trekking, you should walk at your own pace and take short breaks to catch your breath. It is very essential to keep yourself hydrated as dehydration can lead to the vulnerable stage of AMS. Likewise, you should not skip your meals and should eat nutritious meals during your entire journey. It is better to carry some medicines like acetazolamide, dexamethasone, or nifedipine that can deal with your altitude sickness.

Is This Trek Suitable For Me?

As mentioned above, there are various factors that determine the difficulty level of the trek. So, if you have a good level of physical fitness along with mental resilience, then you can do this trek. However, trekkers with prior experience relating to other high-altitude treks are encouraged to embark on this journey. Novice trekkers may find these challenges taxing and strenuous since dealing with individual or collective factors can be too much for them.
