The Everest Base Camp trek is possibly one of the worldβs best-known hikes, but itβs also known as a really tough one. Most people that do this trek hire a guide and/or porter to support them during this 2-week trek. But having a guide is not necessary to make it to Everest Base Camp and back. Doing it on your own has plenty of benefits and isnβt hard to plan either. Weβll give you all the information you need to know to successfully complete the Everest Base Camp trek without a guide on an affordable way.

The Best Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary For Independent Trekkers + Our Teahouse Recommendations
Doing the Everest Base Camp Trek requires some planning, especially if you choose to do it independently. We donβt like to plan ahead, but one of the most important things of the trek is to plan your itinerary at least a little bit. The most important reason for doing this is to make sure you have more than enough time on the trail and donβt go too fast! Here we share with you our itinerary, what we think is the best Everest Base Camp trek itinerary to make it to EBC while avoiding the chance of getting altitude sickness.
So as you know, we’ll start our round-the-world-trip with the Mongol Rally. But what is the Mongol Rally we hear you think.
Each summer, the Mongol Rally thunders 10,000 miles across the mountains, desert and steppe of Europe and Asia. Bollocks to tarmac, ABS and gadgets that help you find your navel. The Mongol Rally is about getting lost, using your long neglected wits, raising shedloads of cash for charity and scraping into the finish line with your vehicle in tatters and a wild grin smeared across your grubby face.
One of the rules to participate in the rally is to raise money for charity. Because it’s only fair if youβre going out of your way to see what the world has to offer that you make an effort to give a little something back. Each team should raise Β£1000, with at least Β£500 raised for the Rallies official charity Cool Earth. The other charity is one of our own choice. Therefor, we’ve chosen the awesome charity ‘Plan’ and especially ‘Plan Belgium’.
So what do these charities do?
Because we really needed to start raising some money for our charity (PLAN) we searched for something that we could sell to people. We could have done a lot of stuff like selling self-made T-shirts, candy or other stuff that people wouldn’t actually need. After some brainstorming, we have found the perfect thing that we could easily relate to the fact that we’re participating in the Mongol Rally.
Right now, as Iβm writing this, I am at work. I canβt concentrate and I am constantly looking out of the window. Because I feel trapped. Is this the real meaning of our existence? Getting up, having breakfast, going to work, going back home, making dinner, watching TV, a little bit of scrolling on Facebook in between all of that, and eventually going to sleep. Living in a rat race, day after day, 5 days in a week. And then 2 days of spending almost all your money youβve earned that week.
So here we are, standing on the Goodwood race track to make a lap around the circuit together with 250 other cars. This is the official start of the Mongol Rally 2016, the largest event of stupidity this year. We are all revving the engines, everyone is honking and after one year of preparations, we canβt wait to test our little cars. Letβs see if Niki, our Lada, can survive this trip. Weβre even not sure if we will survive it!
