Problems:

Trekking to the base camp needs a good discipline, First-Aid and best trekking attire. As we move up, we tend to go under the dark spell of altitude sickness. Headaches are one of such most happening problem. Problem of eating and sleeping is yet another issue while climbing the altitude. During any such intense case people are not advised to go forward towards the Base Camp.

 

However, luckily you could take a look at lovely Namchhe Bazar which is the administrative headquarters of the region Khumbu. You could also have a clear and excellent view of Everest from Tengboche.
