I’m going to hike EBC alone in 22 May 2026 but I’m still not sure whether it’s allowed or not. As what I read from the Internet we can hike independently without guide, even if I need guide later can I just book a guide directly in Lukla and what should I prepare for the hike? Is it still considered as a good time to hike EBC in late May? And how many days should I prepare for the hike?
