Thanks for the kind words. I love re-living the experiences when I go back through the posts and videos. If you get the chance to travel to Nepal and trek to EBC – take it. You will not regret it. 🙂

General fitness levels are actually quite ok to do the trek. Understanding how your body responds to altitude is really the key to a successful EBC trek. We had a bit of a stumble at the start of the trek, but trust me – or read the rest of the posts – it was all smooth sailing from there.

In reply to James. It's one of the most dangerous flights in the world BUT they wont fly if the weather is off, so it's fine. The difficult part of the trek is really how one's body responds to the altitude. As long as you have a general fitness level you can do the trek just fine. Give it a try for sure.

Thanks for the kind words – I am glad you enjoyed the capture. I always love to listen to the stories of those that make their way into the mountains. Thanks for reading mind. 🙂

What an experience! I love reading through your Everest Base Camp posts 🙂 I’ll need to live vicariously through them until I manage it on my own!

This is great! A trek in the Himalayas is high in my bucket list, not too sure that I’d be fit enough for it, though haha
Sounds like you didn’t have the best start, can’t wait to continue reading the rest of the adventure! 😀

I didn’t know about the flight up to Lukla before heading to the base camp. Interesting as you were heading up that you got to see the tired trekkers returning. I have no idea how difficult this trek is and would love to try it myself.

Such a detailed capture. I liked every bit of it. I am not a trekker but I have heard so much and so many wonderful stories from those who have attended everest base camp and later taken a trek to the top of the mountain itself. On a side note, Nepal is indeed very beautiful. Thanks for the virtual tour.
