Summary:
Along the 120 km long Everest Base Camp route, we came across donkeys, yaks, humans; all weighed down by physical goods. We passed many weary travellers on our way to base camp, their faces lit with a quiet sense of achievement. A first view of the vast Khumbu glacier and yellow dots which were the tents at base camp was incredible. Slow, deep breaths and small steps can help us go a long way. All of us climbed over certain proverbial mountains, in the process.Standing at 5364 m at Everest Base Camp, my arms spread wide, the thin air made me feel light headed..
