5 Best Side Trips of Everest Base Camp Trek!
Also, please note that for a trek like Everest Base Camp Trek, side trips are more than just cute good-to-have additions to the main trek. They are the excursions that will make sure that you are acclimatized well enough to fully enjoy the main trek. Basically, due to the altitude gain in the trek, there are two acclimatization breaks during a trek to Everest Base Camp: one at Namche and another at Pheriche/Dingboche.

And the best way to increase your acclimatization is by going high during the day and coming back to sleep at a lower altitude.
