Mt Everest Base Camp Trek 2017

After spending a couple of days in KATHMANDU, Dad and I took a 45min flight and flew to LUKLA to start our epic trek to Everest Base Camp. One of the most dangerous flights in the world!

I'm a total trekking rookie but Mt Everest had always interested me and this was a way I could get really close and personal.
Not only was I a rookie trekker but I had never been at altitude by foot and like everything in my life, I wanted to do it naturally.
My guide told me 99% of people take a prescribed drug called Diamox.
This was going to be interesting.

My Dad is 70 in a couple of months. I felt like it was now or never.

Massive shout out and BIG thanks to -
Himalayan Scenery Trek & Expedition straight out of Kathmandu, Nepal.
BIG Thanks to our awesome guides Shiba & Dussi.
And Thanks a million to the whole UK and Aussie crew who trekked their way to Base Camp with us.
Gary, Caroline, Sam, Mel, Dave, Clare, Alice and of course my Dad.

This is a great video to watch if you are thinking of trekking to EBC during April/May as you can see what gear we are all wearing as we move through each day. We had a low of -13 degrees celsius.

Thanks and Enjoy!
