TREKKING IN NEPAL 4

 The route north to Everest intersects many of the traditional trade routes to Tibet and China and immerses the traveler into Sherpa culture and their Buddhist religion.

The trek, though strenuous, will be comfortable enough for someone who has worked on their conditioning prior to this adventure. As I said before, AMS can strike anyone at these altitudes, and your final destination of Everest base camp (17,500') requires professional guides to help you through the acclimatization process. The views of mountains, glaciers, villages, and monasteries changed daily.
