I trekked to Everest Base Camp (EBC) in Nepal with my dad. Being the ultra-fit and adventurous person he is, dad asked me to plan our own itinerary to finish the trek in 8-days! People usually take 12 days for EBC trek.

I agreed, my only condition that we buy the best insurance covering emergency helicopter rescues from high altitude.

Taking cues from several blogs (TripTin, Halfway Anywhwere, Tripoto Solo), I made an 8-day trekking itinerary for the round-trip from Lukla. We later added a 9th day and hired a porter.

My favorite memories and lessons from the trek!

⭐ Dad’s excitement for this trek! Dad brought two customized written on the back. We got ourselves clicked on reaching the base camp 😊

⭐ Meeting a Doctor couple who have been leading treks to EBC for a decade. They were climbing Everest this year and invited us to their campsite at the Everest Base Camp. Energizing spirit of a team about to climb Everest in a few days!

⭐ Met trekkers from all over the world with their own stories, from a solo woman from Singapore to a group of Czech travellers who taught me a new card game during our stay at Pheriche.

To many more adventures with dad 😁
