Day 13: Arriving at the Base Camp
,
After 10 days of hiking across glaciers and mountain-sides, we arrive at the Everest Base Camp. It is a barren scene where only the most audacious tourists are found. From here on out, we will be sleeping the nights in tents. As I look up at the peak of Everest, my blood begins to pump. My childhood sense of adventure rushes over me; I've never been more excited.
SAFETY & HYGIENE
From here on out, modern conveniences like phones, internet, and running water are impossible to find. Each person has brought enough food with them to last the next few weeks. Keeping warm will now mean the difference between life and death. First-aid kits are also a necessity.
