Travel Tips

Even though EBC welcomes everyone almost all the months, still the best time to visit EBC is April to May and September to October. At this time the temperature is moderate with slight rainfall. You get the chance to see the dazzling view of mountains, clear blues skies, and snow.

However, if you are on a limited budget the best time for you is early winter. You can actually get cheaper accommodation and food in early winter.

Travel insurance is more of a mandatory thing to do before traveling anywhere. Do not forget to mention the maximum altitude you will be reaching because insurance varies and depends upon the height or elevation. You can always get more ideas about travel insurance from travel agencies or the insurance company itself. You can also get one from any travel agency.
