Packing List for Everest Base Camp Trek

This is it boys and girls. We are fulfilling a goal that we have had for many years. We are going to Everest Base Camp. It is a little daunting to know that we will be trekking over suspension bridges, climbing along high ridges and spending several days at 5000 meters.

It was time for a trek to get the old legs back in shape and what better place to start than in Ella in Sri Lanka’s highlands. It is the perfect place for a little adventure travel as you can hike the hills for days on end.
Trails lead you through tea plantations and dense forest paths. We decided to check out Ella Rock, the highest peak in the area offering great panoramic views. It is the longest and most rigorous climb in Ella, so be prepared for a bit of a grind.
