Everest Base Camp Trek and Island Peak Climbers Tour Kathmandu

Friends, Family & Loved Ones,

It was a busy day. We began at the crack of dawn (almost) and boarded the bus to see the important sights of the city:  From there we went to circumambulate the Boudnath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist monuments in the world.

The last highlight of our tour was Pashupati, an important Hindu temple and cremation site.

The rest of the day was spent doing an orientation and gear check to make sure that everyone had all the necessary kit. We are now all organized, packed, well fed and very ready to hit the trail.

Last but not least, the team wants to wish Maya a very happy 15th birthday tomorrow!
