Everest Trekking Season

Hi,

Hi I am 23year old (as on 2011), very much interested in climbing Mt.Everest in the year 2019.

I would like to know when is the best time to start the trek? I am looking for good scenery and wish to take loads of photos so could you please suggest me a suitable time accordingly.

There are several camps before reaching summit, Base Camp, ABC, Camp1-4. Do we need to carry the tent along with us or will there be tents already placed in those areas? Can you suggest me a good brand for buying tents?

What kind of food and shoe is recommended?
Kind regards,
Prawin

Sorry to kill the party for a reality-check. It's not a "trek"! You need a full-fledged expedition support and at least passable knowledge of technical ice-climbing, jumaring, use of ice-axe and crampons. Most importantly what kind of experience in climbing have you got? If you are an experienced climber, then probably can go "Alpine style" without expedition support, but that doesn't seem to be the case from these questions.

You need to do more research to understand the conditions and realities of Climbing any mountain over 6000m. Watch the "Everest - Beyond the Limit" series, that should give some idea.

There is also a huge cost involved.. this summer clients were paying 60,000 USD to climbing companies to put them on top of everest!
