Yes, like the title states, we are going to make a second attempt at Everest Base Camp!

Since we put the trip together at the spur of the moment (we knew someday we would return – but there has been an almost daily debate about when), it has been somewhat chaotic getting everything together for the trip and preparations are somewhat disorganized (see below).

The good news is that unlike the trip in April, the temperatures in Gorakshep have only dipped below freezing one evening this month (unlike the 8 to 18 degree range in April).  Now, if the monsoon season cooperates and it stops raining in the next week, we can hope for clear blue skies for our trek.

We hear that will be sporadic Wi-fi access along the trail, so perhaps you will see some updates during our trek.

We should also get to two additional countries, Tibet (China) and Qatar.  That will take our total together to 62!

Follow long with our itinerary…

Wish us luck!
