Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
After completing 4 day Inca Trail in Peru last year, Roy and I have been thinking of our next challenge. So here it is 20 day trek in Oct 2012 to
EVEREST BASE CAMP NEPAL
"This trek is designed to fulfill the dream of many people to experience the historic route to the base of the world's highest mountain. Our carefully devised itinerary with a number of rest days offers an exceptional way to acclimatise safely. On a trip of a lifetime we have learned never to rush a trek to altitude in the Himalaya and taking an extra few days makes all the difference to really being able to enjoy your trek. A slow ascent through wonderful Sherpa villages allows us time to enjoy the scenery, wildlife and visit a number of monasteries. Our trek culminates with a fine opportunity to trek to both Everest Base Camp and the nearby peak of Kala Pattar (5545m) for spectacular views of Mount Everest. We trek the more remote trails along the far side of the Khumbu valley, savouring the high mountain views from our selected campsites in the company of our Sherpa guides, whose exceptional experience, knowledge and passion for trekking in the Khumbu add a further dimension to this memorable trek."
This will be a challenge so we thought we should use it for a good cause.
