Himalayan Trek, Nepal

It started from Lukla town after we had miraculously touched down at one of the most dangerous airports in the world. Two week trek took us to Namche Bazaar, the last properly equipped village, to acclimatise, only to go further up to Everest Base Camp.

The Himalayas or Himalayas form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. The Himalayan range has many of the Earth’s highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest.

You can admire the amazing views in this video

The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 meters (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8,000-metre peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia (Aconcagua, in the Andes) is 6,961 meters (22,838 ft) tall.

That’s Mount Everest to the left. Right in front of you is majestic Ama Dablam.

The Sherpas built a memorial stupa for Fischerin 1996 outside the village of Dughla in the Solukhumbu District of Nepal. In 1997, Ingrid Hunt, the doctor who had accompanied the 1996 Mountain Madness Everest Expedition to Base Camp, returned to place a bronze memorial plaque on it in his honor. The American Alpine Club established the Scott Fischer Memorial Conservation Fund in his memory which helps environmentally proactive expeditions worldwide.

Another shot of the flying rescue helicopter. This truly amazing visual and sound experience. You could clearly hear the motor whirling but still could not see the dammed thing. At this moment you realize how gigantic the surrounding Rockies really were. You felt like crossing the valley was a matter of an hour while the reality was much harsher.
