Have been fascinated by the Everest region of Nepal for years. It all started with my book club selecting Into Thin Air as our monthly read. Up to that point I thought anyone wanting to climb the highest mountain in the world was nuts. Had no interest in the book but thought I should at least make an effort, not expecting to finish the book.
So when I was hooked by the middle of the 1st page, I knew at some point in my life I would go to the Everest region of Nepal. So on October 3, 2009, my adventure buddy Darlene and I headed for a 17 day trek to Everest Base Camp, at an altitude of 18,000'. Highlights of my trek: hiking 4-8 hours every day; no booze; strictly vegetarian; accommodation was in $2.00 a night tea houses; no showers, electricity or flush toilets; going to bed at sunset and getting up at sunrise.
Am planning another trek to EBC in April, 2013 – want to join me?
