A detailed account of my trek to Everest Base Camp, Solukhumbu, Nepal.
To summarize, EBC trek consists of more than 130 kilometers of hiking in the Solukhumbu region of Nepal over a course of 12-15 days. One gets to see so some of the highest mountain peaks of the greater Himalaya range, including the 'eight thousanders' - Mount Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu; and others like Ama-Dablam, Thamserku, Kangtenga, Kusumkangaru et al.
The regular or 'classic' route to EBC misses out on the heavenly beauty of Gokyo lakes, the high of Gokyo Ri summit, and the thrills and dangers of crossing Cho La (Pass), all lying close by in the adjacent valley. Therefore, a prospective trekkers should seriously consider going via the Gokyo route, if possible.
This is the first out of four videos in this series, and includes a 2 minute preview of the entire journey.
