Everest, The Day Before Base Camp – Video
We have been re-visiting our time at Everest Base Camp lately as we slowly post our videos from our trip to Asia. It has been amazing watching the footage and it reminded me just how stunning the Himalayas are. Every day was a dream. Sure at times it was tiring and we didn’t feel well at others, but as I wrote in a previous blog post about our EBC Trek, You feel as if you can touch heaven here in the Khumbu Region. The Views compare to nothing I have ever seen on earth and re-living the experience simply makes me want to return to tackle the Annapurna Circuit!
Himalaya Retreat Spa, the Perfect Post Trek Pamper
So you’ve roughed it for the past two weeks trekking through the Himalayas. You went for days without a shower, you braved the cold and carried your heavy pack. Your legs burned as you climbed steep mountains and you suffered greatly at high altitudes. What better way to reward yourself when you get back to Kathmandu than to have a deep tissue massage and steam bath or sauna.

It is Freezing! Morning came too quickly today at Tengboche. We had our first fitful nights sleep on our Mount Everest Base Camp Adventure. The temperature easily dipped down to -10 and our plywood walls didn’t offer a lot of comfort. For some reason neither of us can make it through the night without a trip or two to the toilet when we are at altitude. We realized that we should have paid the 250 Rupees for a hot shower at Namche Bazaar on day 3 because now the weather is so cold there is no way we can face a bucket bath in a freezing shed. Looks like it is going to be a new record for Dave and I. 9 Days without a shower.

Ah the acclimatization day. Most high altitude treks have at least one and the Everest Base Camp trek is no exception. I don’t know of many acclimatization days that offer such a spectacular view as this day on the Everest Trek. Our hike starts at 8:30 am and we are going up to the Everest View point from Namche Bazar. We are about to see Mount Everest for the first time. It is not as easy of a day as we thought it would be. Just walking through town takes your breath away.
