Tengboche, Everest Base Camp, Nepal

I am Like a Broken Record- EBC EBC EBC EBC is all I can Really Say Even Now!

Posted on July 3, 2012April 24, 2025

These days all I can think of is my trek to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Everyone talks about how difficult it is to reach Namche Bazaar but thus is what I thought after reaching Tengboche!

“Gradually after the rest I stumbled across Tengboche and to my lodge. It took me six and a half hours to cover the distance while Diana took three and a half! I hardly take any notes on the road but on this day I wrote on a paper, “If I had an internet connection I would tweet- beat me up with a stick if I talk about trekking ever again.”

And if you want more on EBC here is an account of the trek done in 1978 complete with pictures.
