Everest Base Camp Trek:
From Kathmandu we fly to Lukla, and the adventure begins
as we land at its tiny airstrip. We spend several days
trekking through the homelands of the Sherpa people, among
their villages and Buddhist monasteries, with distant
views of Everest and neighbouring Ama Dablam, considered
by many to be among the most beautiful mountains in Nepal.
A day is spent at Namche Bazaar, the bustling market town
in the heart of Sherpa country, and at Pheriche a cluster
of houses set among the high summer grazing pastures of
the region. These rest days allow time to explore further
and to acclimatize, an important factor in your enjoyment
of the trek. Those who have fully acclimatized may trek to
the Everest Base Camp but without doubt, the highlight for
most will be the awe-inspiring views which unfold from the
summit of Kala Pattar - the chaotic ice sculptures of the
Khumbu Glacier, Nuptse and the south-west face of Everest
itself. Not forgetting, of course, the personal sense of
achievement that many experience at the end of their trek,
when it is all over and we fly back to Kathmandu.
During the trek we follow the main Everest Base Camp
Trail, the route pioneered and still used by many climbing
expeditions. The trail is well maintained and apart from
the walk up Kala Pattar and the final stretch to base
camp, not particularly demanding. What makes it hard going
is the altitude, which may affect your performance, though
rest days are built into the trek to help you acclimatize.
Most trekking days allow ample time to cover the distance
at a leisurely pace. To enjoy the trek fully you need to
be fit and a regular hill walker. Previous trekking
experience is obviously an asset, but is not essential.
