Today, I’ll be going over the growing trend of “glamping” (glamorous camping) at the
Everest base camps. According to inside Hook, “Mount Everest is set to get its own
dedicated form of glamping.”
Thousands of people every year come to Mount Everest, and in recent years, they have been looking for a luxury tent for Mount Everest. When looking for the best luxury tent there are many options to consider such as price, quality, and features.
In this beginner guide I’ll go straight into what to be looking for when choosing the best tent for Everest.
Why Choose Glamping Tents for Mount Everest ?
Climbing Mount Everest has been a momentous goal due to its sheer height, cultural significance, famous expeditions, and it being a symbol of challenge. Due to its difficulty, climbers have started looking for glamping tents due to the benefits they offer compared to traditional base camp setups.
Luxury tents can offer more comfort, insulation, durability, and a wide range of customization you can’t get from a regular tent. The harsh weather conditions, altitude, and terrain make having a tent with those features almost a necessity. Having a luxury Mount Everest tent helps climbers recover faster and preserve the energy they will need for their expedition.
As more and more people are attempting to make expeditions, they want to be able to have a comfortable environment. Especially if you’re with a group, having a comfortable base camp can boost morale and increases rest and recovery as opposed to traditional tents. Luxury tents allow climbers to rest easier, eat better, and be less stressed, which can lead to better performance during an expedition. That’s why choosing the best tent for Mount Everest is a big deal.According to Know Nothing Nomad, you can expect to see dome tents, geodesic tents, and tunnel tents when looking for Everest tents.
The Psychological Benefits of Using a Glamping Tent at The Mount Everest Base Camp
When it comes to doing things such as climbing Mount Everest, some say it’s more of a mental challenge than it is a physical challenge. Whether that be because of exhaustion, pressure, hypoxia, or the environment itself. It’s best to have a strong and supportive group of people around you to achieve success, that goes for anything in life.
Being able to have a luxurious space at base camp will help any climber stay mentally and physically ready for their expedition. More people are choosing to use a glamping tent instead of a traditional tent because it offers more benefits without taking away from the adventure. With all the stress that climbing Mount Everest entails, it’s a good idea to be able to reduce it as much as possible.
Whether you’re going solo or with a team, being able to come back and recover inside a luxury tent is invaluable. It could make or break if your expedition will be comfortable, safe, and successful.
Maintenance and Glamping Tents Care in Extreme Weather Conditions
When deciding what kind of Mt Everest tent you’re planning to bring for your expedition, there are some maintenance concerns you should consider. You want to make sure your tent can be easily cleaned, and you should be waterproofing the fabric. This can help minimize the amount of snow and sometimes even rain. Make sure you get it in all the important places, including the seams.
Before leaving, you want to check your tent for any holes or tears, even small holes can cause a problem at high altitudes. Make sure the frame is inspected so there are no cracks or bends.
When at Everest, checking the frame regularly, securing the lines, cleaning the interior, and managing storage are all things you should be doing. If there is a heavy snowstorm you want to make sure your frame is secure, and you may have to re-secure your lines if they have become loose. Having a clean interior and your storage organized can also reduce any potential hazards.
After use, make sure to clean your tent thoroughly and to check for any damage. It may be a good idea to re-waterproof it for future use. Then once the tent is clean and dried off, you need to properly store it in a cool, dry area. Try not to compress the fabric too much as it could damage the material over time.
Why Glamping Tents Pay Off in The Long Run
Of course, when deciding the kind of Everest Tent you may want, the cost is one of the biggest factors. But if you’re looking for a tent that provides the best comfort, safety, and durability then you should consider it a long-term investment.
Luxury tents can range anywhere from $2000 all the way to $20,000. It depends on if you’re going solo or with a party of 6+. The price you choose should be based on your group size and your own needs.
Everest tents are designed to withstand harsh conditions. A big part of the price tag is just from the materials alone. With the high-quality fabrics, frame, insulation/temperature regulation, and overall weather resistance you can be expected to pay a premium for that. Not only that but the features and amenities can also impact the cost. Whether you chose a model that has a shower, and toilet would increase the cost. Overall, there is a long-term value you get from a luxury tent. They are designed to last for a decade even if you use them in a harsh environment. With a regular tent you would be replacing it every few years or sooner. You can use these tents in any setting, not just at Mount Everest. The convenience of setting them up and the luxury features you get are really a strong advantage. Lastly, if you needed to sell your luxury tent, depending on the condition of your tent, you could expect to see a return of around 50%-70%. That depends on the market and how well the tent has been maintained
