Everest Base Camp Adventure – Part 4
Today was another difficult day making our way to Everest, but we felt stronger as our bodies have adjusted well to the altitude. While the climb was steep, we didn’t feel nearly as tired as the climb into Namche Bazar two days ago. It has started to snow and the temperature has dropped dramatically. We warm our feet with our new down booties that we bought at Namche and change into some dryer clothes before heading off to see the monks chant at Tengboche Monastery. The snow makes it that much more beautiful here.
Everest Base Camp Adventure – Part 2
Day 2 is not an easy day on the Everest Base Camp trek. We covered a lot of terrain. Almost 10 km with an elevation gain of 800 metres. Hiking over hills and valleys, we experienced some thrilling moments crossing several suspension bridges dangling over deep gorges. If you have a fear of heights, this may not be your favorite moment, but the bridges are well made and in excellent condition. I was nervous about this day.
