Everest Base Camp trek considered as a strenuous trekking route in Nepal, but that does not mean that you require any previous trekking or mountaineering experience. As you are heading for a Everest Base Camp trek  not climbing Mount Everest; it is not required that you have any technical experience, only that you be in good physical conditioning and are able to walk for four to six hours over hilly terrain with a light bag pack and some healthy lungs.  It’s advised to stop every so often for rest and to take in the scenery around you.
