Photo Gallery: Everest Base Camp Trek

By Mac 10 Comments

After twelve days in the Himalaya and many thousands of units of elevation change, I have successfully returned to the civilized world (read about the trek here if you prefer words to pictures).

I saw yaks, goats, dogs, horses, trekkers from all over the world, and an absurd amount of mountains (you almost take the incredible landscapes for granted after a week – it's literally nonstop mind-blowingness).

No matter how expertly composed the photos of a place may be, nothing comes close to seeing things for yourself. Despite my only being to share what I saw via tiny images on the tiny screen in front of you (where you should probably have work related stuff instead), I have done my best to paint a picture of what can be expected (a lot of mountains).

These are my favorite images from my first (and not my last) trip to the tallest mountains on Earth.

If you have any questions about a specific photo (or are interested in seeing more), then leave a comment below.

Did you mean to call him a “porker”? I am planning a trip to Tokyo in late Oct and it appears they strongly discourage climbing Mt Fuji at this time. In fact they require a “portable toilet”. I live and hike in the White Mountains of NH. Do you think they are being over cautious or is Mt Fuji safe at this time of the year?
Awesome pictures and site!

I did not, so thanks for the correction! I don’t think Fuji is dangerous at that time of year. It’s just that the facilities will be closed and it is outside the “official climbing season”. The Japanese are big on rules so for them, climbing Fuji out of season would definitely be considered “dangerous”, but I would say that you’re fine.

Hey! I found your blog via Pinterest and it’s super rad. I spent a few months hiking in Nepal last fall and I loved it. The 3 Passes might have been my favorite. Ama Dablam base camp was a cool stop. Anyway, thanks for your useful PCT info. I’m currently having the internal debate of if next year will be the PCT or GHT. 🙂

The GHT would be awesome. I think if you’re up for it then you should for sure head back to Nepal.

Yeah, I think the GHT is what I’m leaning more toward. I love logistical challenges and trying to avoid altitude sickness:) I just saw your other post about the 3 Passes. Did you end up going back to do that trek?

I did! However, I am ages behind on posting it here. Before the year is up it will have been documented.

Having spent a certain amount of time wandering around annapurna/everest/peru/lycian way and planning to hike the PCT this year ( despite the fact I hate hiking ), I must admit falling on your blog and reading your shit is a relief. Other alien on the same planet. Thank god.

Not only a great adventure, but some beautiful photos documenting it! I’m particularly impressed by the fact that you didn’t feel compelled to deposit your frozen body on Everest for all time and eternity – way to go – a RESPONSIBLE adventurer!

Responsibility is my middle name (my parents really screwed me on that one).

Happy to be able to share the photos with you!
