Awesome! Hope you have a great time 
. What is your flying route to Nepal? What types of supplies do you need for an adventure like this? Are you going with a group or solo? I've got lots of questions as I'm sure many others here do

What training have you done? I presume you're part of a tour. What a cool and exciting trip to do. Enjoy!

What is the minimum amount of time needed for this trek? Do they force you to stay in certain parts to get acclimated?
Posted on 4/17/22 at 5:48 pm to jmh5724
Mine is 16 days, but my guide give 2 extra days of acclimating but his success rate is nearly 100%,,,,you can do it with fewer days though

This reminds me of how the Appalachian Trail hike thread started. I hope the result is better.

Awesome. A dream of mine if I can ever get my arse in shape enough to do it. Hope we get lots of pics in this thread.

Dumb question.
Are you going to base camp and then climbing Everest or to the base camp and camping there?

Damn. I'd have sent you a TD koozie you could've taken with you!

Are you summitting? or are you just hiking to the base camp?
Either way, we are going to need lots of pics when you get back!

This is amazing. Have a great time. Have heard the views from Sagarmatha National Park are absolutely insane. Can’t wait to see some pictures.
