Everest Base Camp trek has drawn adventurers since Mount Everest was first surveyed in the late 19th century. Mt Everest known as 'Sagarmatha' in Nepal and 'Chomolungma' in Tibet is popular dream destination among all adventure lovers. Everest Base Camp trekking is slightly demanding and requires a fair level of fitness before you begin. Most of the trail lies at the altitude over 3 000m, it is also essential that you trek slowly to avoid the possibility of AMS.
The trek starts from Kathmandu after a short 35 minutes flight to the Tenzing-Hilary airport at Lukla (2642m). After the scenic mountain flight, the trek start through Sherpa villages and farmlands gradually rises to Namche Bazaar (3440m.) where few nights spend for acclimatization (to be familiar with altitude).  During the rest days, we explore the large Sherpa village at Khumjung and experience their lifestyle, beliefs, skills and warmth. The Prayer flags, Chortens, Mani walls and Monasteries justify to the importance of Buddhism in their lives throughout the wilderness.
Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek beyond Namche continues with several ups and downs and the trail continues to higher altitude where the night-time temperatures down to zero. You will get opportunity to explore the alpine vegetation. Finally, the one way trekking destination ends at the base camp of Everest or climbing the Kalapathar hill. Staying in the lodges and capturing the world's highest towering peaks, we hike back to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu.
Everest Base Camp Trek popularly known as EBC trekking is possible all most all year around but the best season for this trek is spring and autumn.

Not even if my life depended on it nor dogs, cats or other such creatures.

How the hell can I be so sure my mother spent 3.5 years in POW camp during WWII she ate bark of trees, grass, you name it when the food was cut off to one cup of unhusked rice a day but she never ate rats, dogs or cats etc etc etc.

I believe I would not either.

Lady Darko

EWWWW!!!!!

Okay don't eat animals it is very sad because it can decrease the lifes of animals and  there will be a little to go around i am a vegiterian!

If I were starving or on "Survivor", which is hihgly unlikely, but yes I would.

never.....

Gross! I would never dare to eat an animal even if i was paid $100 cash to eat one i would rather stay as a vegiterian and not be a meat eater sorry meat eaters! :I

If I was dying of hunger and they were dressed and gutted and roasted til crisp.  plenty of people eat squirrel, and that's the same thing.  rodent is rodent.  I don't eat squirrel either, but if dying, I would.

Depends

Rats from the average populated area - no way. It probably came from a sewer.

Rat caught in the middle of no where. Yes probably if I was hungry.
