Explore Everest Base Camp

The base camp is the first stop on the journey to Mount Everest. Currently, there are two EBC points located in two different countries. The first is South Base Camp, the southern base camp with an altitude of 5,364m in Nepal The second is North Base Camp, the northern base camp with an altitude of 5,150m in Tibet, China EBC Nepal is more familiar to Vietnamese trekkers because the procedures are simple and information is easier to find than the remaining route Everest Base is 5,364m high, the first point that must be overcome for those who want to conquer Everest Next are the transit stations Camp I at 5,900m high, Camp II at 6,400m high, Camp III at 7,500m high, and Camp IV at 7,950m high The EBC trekking route usually lasts only 11 days, while to conquer Everest you need about 2 months Located at an altitude of 5,364m, the amount of oxygen surrounding the top of EBC is only one-third of that near sea level This is a difficulty for climbers because they do not have enough oxygen to breathe As we know, the human body has its limits and we cannot withstand altitudes above 6,000m Therefore, the journey to EBC will be more dangerous as you go higher Near the top, you will feel the air getting thinner If you are not a professional trekker, you will quickly reach your limit Moreover, you may face damage from frostbite At this altitude, your heart will require your body to work harder to be able to pump blood throughout the body
