Prepare yourself physically for the trek. Engage in regular cardio exercises, hiking, and strength training to build stamina and endurance.

The Everest Base Camp trek is considered a challenging trek and requires a good level of physical fitness and preparation. The trek involves hiking to high altitudes, and the air is thin, which makes breathing more difficult. The trek starts at Lukla, which is at an altitude of around 2,860 meters (9,383 feet) and goes up to Everest Base Camp, which is at an altitude of around 5,364 meters (17,598 feet).
The trail is steep, rocky, and rugged, and there are several high passes to cross, including the famous Cho La Pass (5,420 meters) and the Kongma La Pass (5,535 meters). Trekking to these high altitudes can also lead to altitude sickness, which can be dangerous if not treated immediately.
Therefore, it is recommended that you undertake some physical training before attempting the trek and also take enough time to acclimatize to the altitude during the trek. It is also recommended to trek with a reputable guide or company, who can provide you with the necessary equipment and support to ensure a safe and enjoyable trek.
To trek to Everest Base Camp, you will need to obtain two permits: the Sagarmatha National Park Permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit. Here's some information on how to obtain these permits:
Sagarmatha National Park Permit: This permit is required to enter Sagarmatha National Park, where Mount Everest is located. You can obtain this permit in Kathmandu or in Monjo (the entrance point to the national park). If you choose to obtain the permit in Kathmandu, you can go to the Nepal Tourism Board office or to the Department of Immigration. The cost of the permit is currently 3,000 Nepalese rupees (about $30 USD).
Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit: This permit is required to enter the Khumbu region, where Everest Base Camp is located. You can obtain this permit in Lukla (the starting point of the trek) or in Monjo (if you didn't obtain the Sagarmatha National Park Permit in Kathmandu). The cost of the permit is currently 2,000 Nepalese rupees (about $20 USD).
It's important to note that you will also need a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card, which helps to ensure your safety and provides information about your trek to the authorities. You can obtain a TIMS card in Kathmandu or in Lukla, and the cost is currently 2,000 Nepalese rupees (about $20 USD) for independent trekkers.
It's always a good idea to double-check the permit requirements and costs with a reliable source before you go, as they can sometimes change. Additionally, if you're trekking with a trekking agency, they will usually handle the permit process for you.
