We were excited about tackling the Tongariro Crossing in New Zealand. It is dubbed the Best 1-day Hike in the World and we wanted to see if it lived up to its reputation.
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. But the most daunting task that lays ahead is what to pack for a 15 day excursion up to Base Camp. Here is what we are bringing with us.
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.
