What should I compare between base camp trek companies?

Compare itinerary length, accommodation standards, porter support, group size, what is included (permits, transfers, meals), and whether acclimatisation days are built into the plan.

Do longer base camp treks improve acclimatisation?

Often yes. Longer itineraries typically allow a steadier pace and more acclimatisation time, which can make the trek more comfortable and increase success rates.

Why is K2 Base Camp often more committing than Everest Base Camp?

K2 Base Camp is generally more remote and logistically complex, with fewer services en route. Difficulty still depends on itinerary, conditions and individual fitness.
