Mt. Everest Base Camp Trek Diary

---

This Album will be the story of my Mt.Everest Base Camp Trek,
my Diary translated day by day.

Different people have different dreams,differnet focuses in life and different priorities.
One of my dreams do i live, but another one was to take a flight to one of the most dangerous Airports in the world.
So i head off to Nepal,Kathmandu obtained a ticket and catched a seat.
Another dream came through.
With an old pair of shoes bought in Mongolia,an non sufficient sleeping bag and some cookies i head off from Lukla to rock the Mountain, the Mt.Everest.
Supposed to have a long way up and down again, i had a goal...reach the highest possible point on
the Mt. Everest Base Camp Trek and the Base Camp itself.......i made it.

I had an awesome trip up into thin air and coldness at 5545m with incredible views at Mt.Everest
so i will tell you my way.
Bring out pictures Day by Day as i lived and trekked them,translate my Diary, let u be part of it.

Day one
The engine starts and a dream come through

Day one
Agni Air no food, no snacks,no drinks not what i'm used to

Tenzing-Hillary Airport
the landing strip of the tenzing hillary Airport Lukla on an altitude of 2860m and with a length of 527 m, at the end is nothing except a big drop off

527m into nothing
Lukla, one of the most dangerous Airport in the world because of its location on this altitude with 527m landing strip.The really dangerous part are the unpredictable clouds on this altitude which show up within seconds,complicate the landing extremely as seen in past some missed the strip and crashed the mountain.

Porter having a rest
the carring partly the doubled amount of their own weight for days up the mountain and are faster then most of the holiday trekkers here.

watching the passing trekkers
and being motives for pictures

comparison
of course, i carried my own stuff up the trek what's not the usual way is here.
Most trekkers hire Porters carry their luggage up and down the mountain.
My motto: it's too heavy for me to carry so it's too much.So i carried 30 pounds, on average these Porter carry up to 120kg-incredible!
