Everest Base Camp Packing List
The following list is designed for a guided trip to Everest Base Camp. Guide companies will generally include group cooking equipment, tents, sleeping pads, and water filters. Check with your guide company ahead of time to be sure you understand what gear is provided.
I made this list prior to departure, but I'll be looking at it again once I return to make suggestions based upon real-world traveling.
