While exploring the high mountains being connected with the family, relatives, and loved ones is really important. The Guest House also provides you the free wifi where you will be staying in your camp. This wifi only works for a certain period of time which is very lacking, as to communicate with your family members.
As for better speed all along the trail to Everest Trek, you will find an Everest Link WiFi for which you need to get a re-charge card which costs you around NPR 600-800. This Wi-Fi works quite well and after using the card of the Everest Link wifi, it works for only 24 hours meaning as you login with the code to the wifi it will be valid for a single day. If the card works then you may use the same recharge everywhere you trek to the next destination where you get the signal of Everest Link Wifi.
Along the Everest Base Camp Trek, the cellular data works very well till Namche Bazaar. As passing through the Namche Bazaar your signal gets interrupted and again gets connected somewhere near the Tengobche Monastery. As you pass the Tengboche none of the sim card works and to communicate with your relatives and loved one you need to get an Everest Link wifi recharge card. We suggest you buy the Wifi recharge card from Kathmandu or from Namche which will be cheaper for you.
