Route To Everest Bese Camp Trekking

   Attempt to visit both kala pattar and Everest base camp in one day would be  too much for most Trekkers .if you plan to go to the base camp site it’s advisable to make a day of it from Gorak shep the 7-8km (5mile) round trip will take about 4 -6 hr of rough going. There’s not one single location for the base camp but most expeditions choose a site close to the khumbu lcefall at about 53oom (17388ft) .if there’s an expedition in residence or a site being set up the route to it should not be too difficult to follow. But at certain times of the year it may be somewhat tortuous to find. If there’s been recent snowfall forget it. The rail begins just beyond the Gorak shep lake where it traces along the moraine crest for some way until indications suggest descending to the Khumbu glacier. Once in the center of the glacier locate and follow whatever signs are center of the glacier locate and follow whatever signs are there sometimes little more than occasional cairns of yak dung. If you’re lucky there’s be porters or yaks moving up to the camp in which case you can just tuck in and follow them . Note the upthrusting pinnacles of ice that adorn the glacier. Everest base camp is not the place from which to gain a view of the highest mountain on earth. Everything is foreshortened from here and Everest itself is well hidden but the chaos of the khumbu ivefall spewing from the western approach. With so much instability ice cliffs the size of houses collapse with little advance warning and bottomless chasms open at unpredictable points climbing this to reach the western CWM is mountaineering’s final game of Russian roulette.
