Everest Base Camp!

As the festival-season is upon us, the rains have died away and the Himalayas are again showing off in their white-capped splendour, it is time to go trekking!

This time we are off to Everest Base Camp, and we leave Kathmandu for Lukla Thursday 7th of October. We will take pictures and this blog will be updated when I return to a more modern world.

Oh, and search Youtube for Lukla and take a look at the place where we will land and take off from. How many airports have a 700 meter drop at the end? And a very short runway, and this is at a 12 degree incline to boot?

I can hardly wait to get going!
