Each days trek is more spectacular
then the day before as we make our way deeper into this mountainous
wonderland of a Shangri-La. Mountains project like massive
pillars from the deep river gorged valleys. We make our way
along narrow paths etched from the steep hillsides in a Mystically
world of mountains.
Your mind becomes crowded with
unforgettable images, colours are vivid, the greens of grasses
and threes, the browns of earth and rocks, the white of the
protruding snow capped mountains, the grays of clouds and
the blue of the sky, a dream world!
You are trekking in an area
steeped in history of mountains that has been written about.
“You rise you head, in the distance at the top of the valley
Mt Everest beckons, protected by the mighty Nuptse, Lhotse
ridge, you turn your head, Tramsarhu (the mountain of the
ten summits) Kantaga (saddle mountain) Ama-Dablam (a goddess mountain) massive mountains
fill the landscape ahead.”
This is the heart of the most
beautiful and inspiring mountain range in the world, the Himalayas
‘home of the snows’. They
stretch in a
great arch across Asia, 150 miles wide and 1700 miles long, from Indus
in the west to the Brahmaputra in the east.
All along its length, its mountain
tops are revered by the people of the valleys below as the place of their gods. You are in a place
that for centuries has been the setting for epic feats of
exploration and mountain climbing.
On route to our objective of
climbing Kallaphather we visit the famous Bhuddist monestrey
at Tyngboche.
And finnally before returning
to Kathmandu we make an ascent of Kallapthar for a morning
view of the sunrise over the highest mountain in the world
Mt. Everest as we look down on Everest base camp.
“ I cannot put to words the
feeling that such a place will give you. You will just have
to experience it yourself.” Let this be your Everest and join
me on an adventure of a life time on this Everest trek.
