I am Like a Broken Record- EBC EBC EBC EBC is all I can Really Say Even Now!
And this time my excuse is the account of the Everest Base Camp Trek that has appeared at Gonomad. It is ideal for those who thought my day to day accounts were just a bit too long to read. Here is a short quote from the article- Gradually after the rest I stumbled across Tengboche…
Skywatch Friday- A Peak through the Clouds, Pheriche, Nepal
I still remember this moment quite clearly. We were walking back from Pheriche to Namche on the Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal. It was still quite early in the day and I was not yet tired. I also had no inkling that it was going to be an eleven hour day before we reached Namche….
Lovely Nepal
I have completely fallen in love with Nepal! Will try and go back next year to do the Annapurna Circuit Trek. This picture is from the Everest Base Camp trek.
Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal
I decided to put all the links to my day by day account of the Everest Base Camp Trek in one post. It is easy to access them from here and easy to point it out to anyone who is interested in reading it all! Many thanks to all of you who read my accounts…
Skywatch Friday- Mesmerizing Dingboche, Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal
This is a picture from my recently completed Everest Base Camp Trek! I went to sleep in a brown valley and I woke up in a white one. But it was a very light snowfall and it didn’t affect the trek in any way. The place is called Dingboche (4360 meters, 14304 feet) and it…
Everest Base Camp Trek- Day 11, Namche Bazaar to Lukla
I had told Deepak the last night that I would not get up early as it hardly made any difference to when we would reach Lukla. Namche Bazaar to Luka was also two days worth of going up which we were descending in one day. But as I went to sleep at 8.00 pm in…
Everest Base Camp trek- Day 10, Pheriche to Namche
How difficult could be getting down on a trek? That depends on how your knees behave and mine behave very badly. So even though getting down is not as tiring as going up, it actually becomes painful for me. On my last year’s trek in Uttarakhand, I was almost unable to walk for the last…
Everest Base Camp Trek- Day 9, Gorek Shep to Kala Pathar, Descending to Pheriche
As I said in the previous post, I was at 3.14 am waiting for Deepak to start our trek from Gorek Shep (5164 meters, 16942 feet) to Kala Pathar (5545 meters, 18,192 feet). Deepak came out in less than a minute and we started our climb in torch light. I could see only a few…
Everest Base Camp Trek- Day 8. Lobuje to Gorek Shep, Gorek Shep to EBC and Back
At breakfast at Lobuje we were comparing notes and it looked like I was the only person who could sleep decently, my head ache was gone by now and I was really thankful for that. Today after all was the day when we were headed to Gorek Shep (5164 meters, 16942 feet) and the Everest…
