Everest Base Camp Map [Nepal] (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3001)

High quality map for aspirational use, or generally navigating the Khumbu region for trekking. It's also a great companion to reading Everest and nearby mountaineering literature. It puts many of the famous peaks into visual-spatial perspective. Better trekking maps would be needed for hiking, and actual climbing guide books and reports for mountaineering, but this map is fun and good start to trip or expedition planning.

I hiked solo to EBC and Gokyo Ri using this map. There were one or two times that i wished it was more detailed or had distance markers on the route but overal it did great. It lasted the whole trek and held up to the rain and wind. I hiked just after the 2015 earthquakes and so I was one of the few people on the trail. If there are more people on the trail and you have any questions about the route you can ask others. I had to rely solely on this map and it did the job

The number 1 item on my friend's bucket list is to climb to Mt. Everest base camp. When he told me his dream, I decided to help him out by getting him prepared for the exciting journey. I purchased the National Geographic adventure travel map along with the book Trekking in the Everest Region after reading the highly satisfied ratings both books were given. I am wrapping the set up and giving it to him for Christmas, I can't wait to see his face.

You can definitely buy cheaper maps in the Khumbu, but they are printed on cheap, easily tearable paper. I used this map over and over. Outside of the actual Everest base camp location (there's a difference between the Trekker's Base camp and the Climber's Base camp) and the contours of the Khumbu glacier (I doubt anyone would have this) - I referred to this map every day of my trip. Buy a couple of cheaper maps for reference - but this is the map to use.

Decent Map. Good construction. Printed on both sides. One side is detailed map of the Everest EBC trail and surrounding regions including Goyko Lakes, Cho La Pass, Dragnag, etc. Identifies trails clearly and shows locations of medical facilities, Tea Houses (Lodges) and the like. Elevations for destinations and points of interest clearly marked in Meters. Opposite side is map of entire country of Nepal with enlarged Kathmandu. Has some kind of plastic coating so it won't be ruined by water. You can write on it with a Sharpie. Pens not so much. Not for a serious climber that needs detailed elevation data or detailed routs. Probably should get 5-stars based on what it was produced for. But I would have preferred more detail and enlargements of area on the trail.

I used this on my trip to Everest Base camp. It feels high quality and doesn't get wet easily.If you want any help with trip planning or have questions, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram (@zachoneverest). :)

The map is brilliant for anyone travelling to Everest. It shows you all the the area around including entrance, altitude, treks etc. plus it brings a bit of valuable general information and the it is clear and easy to take in anywhere. Very easy to read when you are tired at 6000 meters above sea level and if your tough enough hopefully above 8000 meters above sea level as well.

Everything I need to begin planning my Everest Basecamp trek!
