Everest Base Camp.
Mount Everest with Everest Base camp in the foreground.
This place is so rich in history, stories of survival and death, the strength of the human spirit and great human courage. In particular the inspirational dedication, loyalty and utter dependability of the brave Sherpas, who made climbing Everest possible. I am drawn to return to the Khumbu, which I shall do in 2018.

I was taken from the track just before the descent onto the glacier. The guide was telling me that the track from Gorakshep to EBC is getting many more landslips over the last five years. Part of last year’s track fell in completely this year.

Oh I don’t like hearing like that. I don’t think we will go back to EBC but will go to the area.

That is a wonderful thing to do. Australian Himalayan foundation would be a good starting point. Are you a teacher?
