Friends, family & loved ones,
Welcome to our October 15, 2022 Everest Base Camp Trek! We’re off to a rather good start here in Kathmandu: the team has arrived on time and ready to go, the monsoon rains have finally ended and the weather is looking promising.
We got right down to business today with an orientation meeting and gear check. We met in one of the banquet rooms of the Old Palace— very fancy as you can see in the photo below.
All went smoothly and we even had some time to rest and relax before going out to dinner for the first of many traditional Nepali meals.
Kathmandu is absolutely buzzing with activity at the moment, which is great to see after several very quiet years during the height of the pandemic.
Tomorrow morning we’re going to tour some of the city’s most interesting sites. We will do our best to post a daily update of our progress as we trek up the Khumbu Valley to Everest Base Camp. So stay tuned to our further adventures!
