Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatch

April 25, 2012 – David and Joanne Arrive in Nepal!

After many hours flying overseas, David and Joanne arrived in Kathmandu. Already they have taken in the culture and had some R & R. Soon they will make the next leg of their journey landing on the famous air strip in Lukla. Once they meet up with the support crew, they will start the first leg of their trek to the ever so busy, yet remote, Everest Base Camp!

David and Joanne are met at the Kathmandu International airport by their local guide Rupa and her younger brother.
