Efficient & Reliable Heating at Mount Everest Base Camp
Client: Everest Base Camp, Nepal
Infrared Heating Supplies was honoured to provide advanced heating technology to one of the world’s most extreme environments — Mount Everest Base Camp. Keeping hikers, staff, and visitors warm at high altitude is a challenge, and IHS delivered a powerful, safe, and efficient solution.
“First time in Nepal we introduced infrared heaters focused in the Himalaya region, where air mass is thin and temperatures extremely low.”
Project Overview
Heating at Everest Base Camp is not just a luxury — it’s a necessity. Facing freezing temperatures, thin air, and extreme weather, the teams operating in this environment need reliable solutions that won’t compromise safety or performance. Traditional heaters at Everest Base Camp struggle due to thin air, sub-zero temperatures, and oxygen demands that can be dangerous. Lodges and hostels needed a heating solution that worked without compromising safety or comfort, especially with temperatures often plummeting below –10°C.
Our work began with an assessment of the unique environmental challenges at 5,300 meters. Traditional heaters were ruled out because they consume oxygen and can pose hazards. Infrared bar heaters, by contrast, operate safely without burning oxygen, making them ideal for this setting.
The IHS Infrared Solution
Our team partnered with base camp management and provided high-performance Infrared Bar Heaters. The result? A reliable, oxygen-free heating system that kept guests and staff warm even in the Himalayas’ harshest conditions.
By installing IHS infrared heaters in the lodges and staff quarters, we ensured that climbers and workers alike enjoyed a warm refuge from the harsh Himalayan cold. One highlight was supplying heaters to the former Prime Minister of Nepal’s residence — a clear endorsement of the quality and reputation of our systems.
Beyond warmth, infrared heaters offer health benefits, such as improving circulation and alleviating stiffness — crucial in a high-altitude, physically demanding environment. Their slim design also means they fit easily into compact or irregular spaces, from mountain huts to luxury lodges.

Client Testimonial
“First time in Nepal we introduced infrared heaters focused in the Himalaya region, where air mass is thin and temperatures extremely low. Conventional heating systems require oxygen and can be dangerous. Infrared heaters offer health, wellness, and therapy benefits. It’s now popular in the Everest region — most well-insulated hotels and lodges are equipped with them. The former Prime Minister of Nepal, Honourable KP Sharma Oli, loved the mirror series at his residence and the 1800W bar heater in his meeting room.”
