Nepal Trekking Guide Has Anyone Been To Mt. Everest/Nepal?

If you are generally comfortable journey to Everest Base Camp to go, is not a big problem (Everest climb is another story). You do not need a guide or a porter to the classic "Everest Trek" when planet has a good map to play on the road, and Kathmandu in Nepal Lonely.
Once you reach the entrance to the park Sargamatha, you must register with the park service to a trekking permit. I forget how many minutes he was, but not super expensive, and only 10 Check the permission of pounds and statistics, it is really cool!
We have 21 days trekking in the Everest from Lukla. Since it to 400 meters / day maximum limit. Ascent to avoid altitude sickness, their travel distances are not super big and with many "tea houses" to eat and sleep on the way, is a fairly quiet trip that a ton of equipment are (when leaving his shop at home but to bring) a sleeping bag and enough batteries for your headlamp.
You do not expect a fear of heights, asSuspension bridges are too low, you need to go further. Sometimes they stick to yak. And the mascot of the Yak! :-) You look nice, but can also aggressive (like my brother discovered).
We have us go in order to acclimatise to the first Gokyo, Cho La to Gorak Shep then the hike to Base Camp and climb Kala Patthar () before returning. You will pass without a leader Cho was risky, because it is only the second of the season. We are safe, but not necessarily recommended for travelers with little experience.
Unless it is part of an expedition, climbing, there are many reasons to visit the base camp of Mount Everest today (this is only a few tents and location changes each year depend on glaciers) just walk around the carp . The people there really do not like "tourists" Mösinger around and you can not go any further (eg, the Khumbu Icefall) without a permit.
Depends on when you leave, you can not have one in the base camp, climbing a short season (March-M isAY). The Sherpas carry equipment for the placement of the stairs from the yak about a month before the start programs and see their "reservations" People are pilgrims on the mountain. For this reason, we left before the season started and ran to the masses, we were hiking.
The tourist experience is quite different than the houses are nearly empty room to sit and talk. No two rooms look without ever on the money that the locals are just happy to results and everything is much cheaper, off-season.
On the way: warm clothes! In 21 days in February was warmer than in a single day, but I'm happy for my down jacket. The huts are very simple and very cold nights. You can make a stove, but probably not worth it, because I could not find fuel for them and the hot tea in any restaurant. Bring a bit of chocolate and nuts. Climbing things more expensive and a chocolate bar can cost up to $ 3 more. No shower for 3 weeks, so you might want to bring even without shampoo(There are solar showers are available, a fun experience, but it is very cold in the shower and back to the hotel. Sunglasses, the sun is merciless and brilliant. Komperdell if useful for other trips will be. Purify water if they do not take risks. Study Aqua look, but that is 4 hours for treatment of water. Because the water is clear, which may be in the cities, you should have a filter so that you are considering.
An altimeter watch can be very use full and do not forget to pay attention to defining the level of the individual days (which actually sell like a brochure in a travel agency in Kathmandu and the development of our daily journey, because he said it was the Noise will be met in height). Map and compass, as usual. No cost more. Yeti aircraft are small and the flight to Lukla has courage. No electricity on the mountain. A solar charger might be a worthwhile investment good.
Nepal are vegetarian, and always a piece of meat in restaurants (if you find it, I'l
Well, my uncle (journalist), climbing Mount Everest right now, as climate is influenced by global warming report. In this video we may be able to the type of equipment they use and see what the weather http://video.aol.co.uk/video-detail/mt-e;. .. It appears that you have to be strong, physically and mentally. In addition, the air is too thin to work out, perhaps even some of the gang in order to obtain this assistance. Good luck:)
I traveled to the base camp, but many years ago. At that time, permits were required. I do not know if you do not or can get to Lukla. You need to get to Kathmandu in May, before flying to Lukla. I was told that the law can go beyond the base camp, you need a radio for the time cost of $ 25,000. I went by myself, with just one card and had no problems because the streets were fairly easy to navigate, with the exception of days on which folow a few others who had hired a guide. Listen to your body and be sure to at least spend a day flying to acclimatize to the altitude, and at least one day in Namche Bazaar. I think Lonely Planet has published a book on trekking in Nepal. Bring? I left when I was young and fit, but my friend was a few years ago when I almost forty, "the hottest product for the people of his time ibuprofen! Only a lot of painkillers cons of your old, tired muscles. A must have other, is a set of lithium batteries for the camera. Batteries are not as good as not working in the coldArent is simply plug your imagination Chargers!
Have Fun!
