Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp (EBC) is self-explanatory. How could we not go to the base of the Khumbu Icefall and the highest mountain in the world while we were so close!? We took a detour on the Everest Three Passes Trek and joined up with the Everest Base Camp Trek route in order to hike Kala Patthar and go to base camp. We hiked from the town of Gorak Shep (5149m) to an elevation of 5365m. We left in the late morning after hiking Kala Patthar for sunrise.
