Best Before/ After hotel for the trek
If you are searching for comfort and luxury, there are many options for hotels for you, here are some options.
Hotel Buddha
It’s a super-clean hotel, close to the airport, with a clean environment and friendly staff having all the modern facilities like satellite and WiFi costs $40-$50 for a double room. It also has extra facilities, like luggage storage and visa printing. If you need more luxury, you can go for the 4-star Babar Mahal Villas in Kathmandu which costs a bit more.
The Sparkling Turtle Backpackers Hotel
This should well if you are on a budget as it costs only about $5 for a dormitory bed and $10-$15 for a double room. It has featured a clean environment with friendly staff but lacks luxury.
Hotel Everest View
Also situated close to the airport. It has all the luxury facilities available. It has one of the best views in all the hotels but costs significantly more than the former ones making the trip much more costly.
Trekking Insurance
Strictly speaking, there is a lot which can go wrong when trekking in such remote locations; that is why you should have your trekking experience insured. It can be done online and takes only a few minutes of your time. However, choosing the right policy is very important in this case. Insurances usually cover injury, evacuation, gear loss, trip cancellation, and trip delays.
One problem to keep in mind here that usual travel insurances offer services up to 3000m while on Everest base camp trek you go up to 5500m or sometimes even 6000m so while getting a quote you need to make sure it covers you up to 6000m. Lastly, travel insurances depend upon the country where you are traveling from, so the pricing here is diverse.
