I am in Nepal - trecking towards Everest Base Camp and then on to a small peak called Island Peak (6300 metres). After surviving the famously exciting landing at Lukla, we trecked for two days to get to Namche Bazaar - the centre of the Sherpa and gateway to Everest.
Today we took a short treck up to about 3800 metres (that is about 11000 feet) to get the first views of Everest. It was stunning in the clear blue sky.
Now we just have to take about 5 days to treck upto the Base Camp and another week to bag the peak.
