Transportation: Overland Vehicle from KTM to Salleri Bazaar- then change to a local 4x4 jeep to Thamdanda (the driving will be rough, tough, and adventurous). On the way back, you will fly by domestic flight from Lukla to Ramechhap and a 4-hour vehicle drive to Kathmandu.
Walking Trails: In some parts, trekkers must walk on the road, but alternative walking trails are adequately available everywhere. There is an ancient legendary walking trail from Surke to EBC and return to Lukla. The trail is often gradual up until you reach EBC and Kalapatthar. Crosses Rivers, glaciers, alpine contours, highlands, and rocky plateaus.
Trek hours per day: The itinerary is always eligible; every day your trek starts after breakfast. Take your own speed and enjoy your walking and the views. Normally, walking hours will be 4-8 hours a day. You may take a longer time than you expect to complete your ultimate mission around Gorakshep and EBC.
Landscape & temperature: The landscape on this trek is very amazing. It starts at a lower and warmer greenery region and ends at a highland. Terraced field, beautiful hill and hillock, glaciers, moraine, and High Mountains. Warm in the lower land but dry, windy, and cold atmosphere at the higher land. The big and sky-touching mountains stand on every side in the Himalayas. It is warm during the day and will be cold at night. The coldest night will be at Gorakshep, but it depends on the Season.

Altitude sickness
Altitude sickness (acute mountain sickness) is difficulty sleeping, dizziness, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, rapid pulse, nausea, vomiting, etc. It affects mountain climbers, hikers, and skiers because of lower air pressure and lower oxygen levels. It occurs as the result of failure to adapt at a higher altitude. It happens most often in the brain or the lungs after the fluid begins to leak from the blood vessels.
When the fluid collects in the brain, you initially get headaches, loss of appetite, nausea, tiredness, a desire to lie down and feel powerless, physically moving is unwilling, a decrease in consciousness, and the problem with balance coordination is called high–altitude cerebral edema (HACE). If the fluid is collected in the lungs, you become breathless and dry, and it makes a regular irritative cough, sometimes coughing up blood too, discoloration of the skin, and chest tightness is called high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE).
Prevention
To prevent acute mountain sickness, we have to follow fundamental gravity habits such as patience, consistency, and discipline in the mountains. The mountains have their own rule and regulations. We cannot turn them into our nature except by following and respecting them. Cloth properly according to the altitude, avoid rapid altitude gain, drink enough water or fluid, take enough acclimatization time to adjust the body at a higher altitude, avoid alcoholic items, control smoking, eat regular meals, get higher & sleep at lower altitudes. Avoid high altitudes if you have heart and lung disease. If the symptoms occur heavily, then stop detting altitude descend to a lower altitude.
In case the person is seriously sick, or cannot bring him/her to a lower altitude by walking and carrying, then she/he should be rescued by a quick Helicopter evacuation.
