Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatches
Hanesbrands International and Friends of Jamie Clarke: Everest Base Camp Trek
May 3 – May 24, 2010
It is springtime in Nepal and with the excitment and energy throughout Nepal brought on by another season of Everest climbing expeditions, Berg Adventures is guiding five Canadians and two Americans through one of the most tranquil and beautiful areas in the world: the Khumbu Valley. From Namche Village onward, they will be surrounded by giant mountains with snow capped peaks as far as the eye can see as they make their way to Everest Base Camp to cheer on their friend and Everest climber, Jamie Clarke!
Following the beaten path up through the Khumbu Valley they will be immersed with tradition, religion, history and culture.
Stay tuned to their daily dispatches of this unforgettable adventure in Nepal.
