• Where can I get permit, and their cost ?
There are 2 check post at ‘Monjo’ on the trail (in between Phakding and Namche Bazaar),
Permit 1: Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality’ (Trek Card) fee 2000 NPR ( 1250 INR) at Tok Tok just 2 kilometers from Phakding.
Permit 2: for National Park Entrance Permit' fee 1500 NPR ( 937 INR) at Manjo. ( 3000 NPR for non-SAARC nations).
• Is there electricity? Can I recharge my device ?
Yes, you can charge your electronic device at every tea house but they will charge you right above from Lukla. They might take 100-300 NPR for an hour or full charge. Instead carry your portable solar panel or power banks wrapped in the woolen cloth to avoid discharge due to cold.
• What are the prerequisites or fitness required to do EBC, Cho La Pass & Gokyo ?
• I didn’t fly to Lukla, which made me trek long way; an addition of 100 km. Being very much laid and commercial, EBC, Cho La Pass & Gokyo will stand out to be a difficult trek with its ascends, long distance, rucksack on back.
