tall order Hi there, brave girl travelling in India on your own. Be careful!
As for trekking to base camp, are you fit or do you have experience and equipment to assist you with the trek?
I have done a few treks around SE Asia, the biggest was a 5km incline up into hills. Was very bloody hard. I am not the fittest person (still smoke occasionally) but also not completely unfit and I struggled with that trek.
Am heading to nepal myself so at least I know my fitness level now and choose treks a little bit more to my ability. The altitude is also a big factor when trekking in such high country. When are you going? its freezing at the moment.
Maybe try googling the trekking sites and see what type of treks there are available.
Good luck on your travels and stay safe.
CAREFUL IN EGYPT I'd be very careful being a female travelling by myself in Egypt (irrespective of recent demonstrations). They're women are all covered from head to toe, consequently, they think European women are loose and treat them that way accordingly. I had my arse pinched in Egypt whilst I was walking on the arm of a guy - when I turned around there were loads of guys standing there smirking, so I'd got no idea who it was. They're not exactly civilized.

Giving the base camp a miss and taking the flight to everest instead! Can't wait for Nepal as well think it will be fantastic!
