News of our recent expedition: Everest Basecamp Trek Nepal

26 April - We've reached Dingboche, the ultimate resting place during the Everest Base Camp Trek. Dingboche stands as the quintessential Sherpa village of the Everest region, famed as one of the most popular trekking destinations where Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa made history by conquering the summit of Mount Everest. Situated at an altitude of 4410 meters above sea level, Dingboche exudes charm, nestled in the Khumbu region's picturesque valley in northeast Nepal. It serves as an ideal spot for trekkers and climbers to acclimatize.

As the last village in the Everest region, Dingboche sits 9.1 kilometers (5.6 miles) from Tengboche Monastery and 8.4 kilometers (5.2 miles) from Lobuche. There are few distinctions between Pheriche and Dingboche. Both offer similar panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks and are situated at comparable altitudes. However, Dingboche boasts slightly better vistas due to its strategic location. The distance between these two locations is minimal, with no significant route divergence, ensuring a seamless transition for trekkers.

26 April - I embarked on a captivating journey, immersing myself in the breathtaking landscapes. I traversed ridges, descended to the serene Dudh Khosi river for a delightful lunch, and passed through a checkpoint manned by the Nepal Army. As I ascended a significant hill, I reached the renowned Tengboche monastery, where devoted monks offered their prayers amidst awe-inspiring views of Everest. Later, I trekked to Pangboche village, nestled at the base of the majestic Mt. Ama Dablam. The evening concluded with a satisfying feast of yak steak, accompanied by fresh vegetables, local potatoes, and homemade garlic soup.

24 April - Today, we're in Namche, the capital of the Khumbu Valley. We're all doing well and have had lots of fun hiking up to Shangboche, enjoying plenty of cake, coffee, and the fascinating mountain views. What more could you ask for? Tomorrow, we're heading to the next village, Pangboche.
