What is Everest basecamp?

Mount Everest Base Camp is a place on the mountain where climbers set up camp before attempting to reach the summit. There are two base camps on Everest: the South Base Camp in Nepal, and the North Base Camp in Tibet. The South Base Camp is the more popular of the two, and it is located at an altitude of 5,364 metres (17,598 ft). The North Base Camp is located at an altitude of 5,150 metres (16,900 ft).

Base camp is a place where climbers can rest, eat, and prepare for their ascent of the mountain. It is also a place where they can acclimatize to the high altitude. Acclimatization is important because it allows the body to adjust to the low levels of oxygen at high altitudes.

Base camp is also a place where climbers can meet other climbers from all over the world. It is a place where they can share stories and experiences, and learn from each other. Base camp is a important part of the Everest experience, and it is a place that climbers will never forget.
