MONSOON TREK TO EVEREST BASE CAMP

20-Jun-2018

I am back to home after two-week long monsoon trekking to Everest Base Camp with Sherpa Expeditions. Apart from the weather, everything was perfectly organized by the company. We had clear views only twice throughout the trip which we were aware of prior to the trek. The route was pretty calm and we met only a few people on the trail.
