The Everest Senior Citizen Trek is a 12-day trek designed specifically for active travelers aged 60 and above who want to experience the magic of the Everest region at a comfortable pace. The route follows the classic Lukla<\/a>-Phakding<\/a>-Namche<\/a>-Tengboche<\/a> corridor but with deliberately slow pacing, two full acclimatization days, shorter walking days (4-5 hours max), and senior-friendly support. We use the best tea houses with attached bathrooms where available, carry emergency oxygen and a pulse oximeter, and assign guides experienced with senior trekkers. The maximum altitude of 3,880m at the Everest View Hotel is well within safe acclimatization limits for healthy older adults. A backup helicopter evacuation plan is communicated to family at home for peace of mind.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\n4-star hotel in Kathmandu with elevator access\nBest available tea houses with attached bathrooms throughout\n1:3 guide-to-trekker ratio (senior-trained guides)\nEmergency oxygen and pulse oximeter on the trail\nPre-trek medical consultation in Kathmandu\nBackup helicopter evacuation plan","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"\uce74\ud2b8\ub9cc\ub450 \ub3c4\ucc29","content":"\n

Above 3,500m, altitude sickness (AMS) affects 25-40% of trekkers. Our itinerary includes acclimatization days, guides carry pulse oximeters and emergency oxygen, and they are trained to identify early symptoms. Prevention: ascend slowly (no more than 300-500m sleeping altitude per day above 3,500m), drink 3-4 liters of water daily, avoid alcohol above 3,500m, eat light meals, and report any symptoms immediately. Travel insurance covering helicopter evacuation (USD 10,000) is mandatory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
