There are plenty of guesthouses and lodges with private bathrooms and hot showers.

Leaving Namche Bazaar, the trail follows the valley of Imja Khola with spectacular views of Thamserku, Kangtega, and Ama Dablam mountains, and dominating the skyline ahead are the giants, Lhotse and Everest. The most common night halt after Namche is at the top of a steep climb from the Imja Khola at Tengboche.

We welcome its most visited during spring and autumn season and least during summer/monsoon season and winter season. But it all depends on people and their preferences. Because all the season has their attractive features.
The Spring season which falls from March-May may be the best time to do the Everest Base Camp trek due to its clear and moderate weather. Likewise, the autumn season falls from September- November because it greets you with stunning mountain views.
Whereas summer/monsoon brings freshness because during this time you will traverse through deep lush jungles. Also if you want to avoid the crowd and do mind the mushy trail and the frequent encounter with the leeched then it might be an ideal time to do the EBC trek.
Physical fitness is very important to do the Everest Base Camp trek.
In this trek, you easily gain altitude, and is difficult to adjust to the altitude so you need to check your age, fitness, and preparation before opting for this trek. It does not matter if somebody found it to be easy whereas others found it to be difficult so it depends upon you and your preparation.
