The Everest Base Camp trek is arguably the most famous trekking route in the world and one of the most popular in Nepal. It gives an insight into the lives and culture of the Sherpa people combined with a journey into some of the most breathtaking scenery. Out ascent will be steady and well paced to best suit the acclimatisation needed. Sunrise across the snow capped peaks above the Khumbu Glacier is an unforgettable sight from the summit of Kala Pattar. It is a tough challenge and not to be taken lightly with generally well graded paths but some tougher sections along the Khumbu glacier.

I am looking forward to the challenge and will be taking part at the end of October to raise money for Sense - National Deafblind and Rubella Association and would really welcome your support.
