EVEREST TREK SET UP

Do you want to trek to the Nepali Everest Base Camp and see the Everest as close as you can? Probably it is easier of what you think. Soooo ... you need at least a couple of weeks of time. On top of that, most likely, you will need a guide and a Sherpa to carry your heavy bags. And of course you need some money to pay them. This means that if you organize your trip from Kathmandu, like we did, you need to pay for their flight to Lukla, Nepal and for their food and lodging along the trekking. But you won't be by yourself in all this. Kathamndu touristic district is full of small trekking companies that will "help" you in all this. So here we are. Jake, Lisa (a new Chinese friend that Jake met during his trip to Nepal) and I, in the office of one of these trekking companies paying for our expedition ...The total cost? Something between $500 and $750 per person. Not really cheap, but all food and acomodation is included and very important we have also insurance for the 3 of us, and also for the guide and Sherpa. And the guide and the Sherpa have a very good salary (this is what we were told). And here is the fantastic five who will hopefully conquer the 5,500 meters (!!!!) above sea level Everest Base camp ...... from the left Ganishu (the porter / Sherpa), myself, Vishnu (the guide), Lisa and Jake. I know ... the porter is the smallest ... poor guy. I am not sure how he will make it. He has an horrible task. Of course we will try to help him sharing his load.
