Having seen Everest close up and personal from Tibet in 2010 (having cycled) one can't help but feel in awe in it's presence - to be able to share that experience this time by trekking in with Monika is nothing short of amazing with some character building and "relationship challenging"moments likely to be found along the way !
The 21 day trek from Jiri pretty much follows the original Hillary Everest route to base camp and will give us the opportunity to experience Nepalese village life before we take on the more arduous altitude based trekking routes.
I've watched with pride as Monika has prepared for the past few months trying to find time from her busy work regime to get fit. She knows it will be tough but also knows that the experience will be life "value adding" as it's all too easy to stay in that comfortable lounge chair! The fact that she is doing this also for two great causes will make those challenging moments all worthwhile !
