Everest Base Camp Trek: Dharmavariants Celebrate Nepali New Year in Kathmandu
Friends, family & loved ones,
The whole team returned back to sweltering Kathmandu just in time for the Nepali New Year. Tonight is New Years Eve in Nepal (tomorrow will begin the Nepali year 2079) and we’ve decided to celebrate with a pizza party in the garden. Just the thing we are craving after a couple of weeks of momos and dal bhat.
Tomorrow night and the next day, most of the team will begin to fly back home to you. We have one more day here to explore the city and give ourselves a well-earned rest after the trek.
This will be our final Cybercast for the Spring 2022 Everest Basecamp Trek. Thanks for following along with us!

Everest Base Camp Trek: Dharmavariants Arrive in Lukla
Friends, family & loved ones,
This morning, we packed up our bags, headed down Namche Hill and crossed the double-decker suspension bridge en route to Lukla. We re-traced our steps of almost two weeks ago but with fresh eyes and a whole new perspective.
We walked at a reasonable pace, but made it here in record time and we had most of the afternoon free to relax and shop. And shop some more.
This evening, we will bid farewell to some of our incredible Sherpa staff, who will return to their homes up valley tomorrow morning. We could not have done this trek without their help.
We’re all hoping for good weather for our flight to Kathmandu tomorrow.
Thanks for following!

Everest Base Camp Trek: Dharmavariants – Special Midday Post!
Friends, family & loved ones,
We are really enjoying our descent from Namche today- light trail traffic and blooming rhododendrons. We wanted to make sure that Wyatt knows that Papa Stewart is wishing you a very happy birthday. Happy 8th birthday Wyatt!
Great trip. Vern and Carol were great. Beautiful people and venues. Would love to go back one day and explore more areas. Beyond expectations. And Vern played the guitar, very cool. Amazing leadership and I think he should become a professional speaker when he retires. Amazing stories and experiences.
