Everest Base Camp
We just arrived back in Kathmandu after a fantastic 3-week trek to Everest Base Camp with our guide Krishna.
The trek itself was pretty tough walking, but very rewarding with seeing many amazing snowy peaks, including a few glimpses of Everest. The lodges + guesthouses we stayed in were good + very friendly.
Krishna, our guide has been a real star throughout our trek. He has been very friendly thoughtful + kind to us throughout. And looked after me when I was sick one day. Although he kept beating us at cards. Thanks to Krishna for helping me to reach Everest Base Camp + fulfill one of my dreams.

Everest Base Camp
The toughest part of the trip is getting your body used to "squatting". The up and down hiking, for me, was an opportunity to push my body and mental toughness. Sadly due to Monsoon season, I was unable to see Mt. Everest. On the other hand, the goal of the trip was not to see Everest rather to make it to Base Camp. In this regard our trip was very successful. Our guide introduced us to many people that shared plethora & stories of Everest ascents, adventures and travels.
K.B.(our guide) was strong, competent and very knowledgeable. He knew the exact heights of every mountain peaks pass and village along our trip. Furthermore he could estimate with tremendous accuracy, the distance and times to the next destination. An overall success and a great experience.
