    Am Schalter in Züri hani erfahre, dassi erscht de Ahtrag fürs Visum in Nepal han und no keis offiziells Visum, das Dokument söttmer im Vorus halt mal öffne.🤭

    Bim Help Desk in Delhi ischmer den en neue Boardingpass usgsellt worde, nomal für en andere Flug. Ez hani zwei Flugnummer und zwei verschiedeni Abflugszite, wenn den mis Gepäck würkli nur au i dem Flüger isch wos mir bim Info Point empfohle hend zum neh.😵‍💫
    Um die 15:00Uhr simmer in Delhi glandet, sVisum hani au becho & ahschlüssend isches mit Gepäck Richtig Hostel im Zentrum vo Kathmandu gange.🌞

    Am Morge am 00:40 Uhr bini im Hostel abgholt worde und den simmer 4h mitm Bus zum chline Flughafe, wo de Usgangspunkt fürd Everest Base Camp Trekkingtour isch, gfahre. De Flug uf Lukla het über 2h Verspötig gha will dFlüg vom Vortag, wege schlecht Wetter cancelled worde sind, sind zerscht alli die Persone gfloge worde. De Flughafe in Lukla wo uf knapp 2800 Meter Höchi lit, ghört dank de churze Start/Landebahn und de schnelle Wetterwechselbedingige, zu einem vo de gföhrlichste Flughafe vo de Welt. Nach knappe 20min simmer in Lukla glandet, min Sherpa isch mitere Tafle wo min Name druffgstande isch, auscho bereit gstande und somit chan die 12 tägig Trekkingtour is Everest Base Camp starte.🤩🤩🤩Read more

    DAY ONE.

    April 2 in Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    Well, my guide/porter speaks English, so I’ll be practicing my English in my posts as well. 🤭 Finally, today my twelve day trekking adventure to Everest Base Camp is starting. I’m sooooo excited! 🤩

    Evening:
    We arrived at the first teahouse in Phakding, which is located at 2610 m. It’s cold inside, and everyone is sitting here in warm clothes, enjoying warm tea and delicious food. I don’t even want to think about a hot shower—certainly not, because it’s my first day, and eleven more days will pass without a shower. 🙉🤭    Read more

    📍 Start: Phakding, 2610m.ü.m
    🏁 Destination: Namche Bazar, 3443m.ü.m

    Yesterday evening i went to bed at 7pm. After a little meditation i was reading my book and few minutes later, i fell asleep. Probably even for 7:30pm.🤭 I was thankful for the warmth of my sleeping bag, which provided me a cozy night. It was truly hard to get up at 6am because the room was quiet cold and the clothes to put on, as well.🫣

    🌞 Weather & temperature: Freezing in the morning (we started at 7 a.m.) later warm and comfortable (wear a cap, gloves, two thermal shirts, a jacket, sports leggings, and warmer trousers)

    DAY THREE.

    April 4 in Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    📍 Start: Namche Bazar, 3443 m.ü.M
    🏁 Destination: Syangboche, 3960 m.ü.M - Khumjung, 3790 m.ü.M
    —> back to - Namche Bazar, 3443 M.ü.M

    Last night I didn’t sleep well because I had pain in my head. At first, I thought it was coming from my neck, so I did some exercises, but it didn’t help. I realized the pain was because of the altitude.🏔️ After only a few hours of sleep, I got up at 6am because the meeting time was at 6:30. This morning, I’m feeling much better and not very tired.🤩

    Today is our acclimatization day. Firstly, I thought this day was just for relaxing and regeneration, but my guide told me the day before, that we will hike up nearly to 4000m. I was really happy because I’m feeling fit and excited for another hike and more impressions.😍Otherwise, spending a whole day in Namche Bazar, would be too freezing and boring. 🤭

    Highlight: first view of Mount Everest.🤩🏔️ (pic. 10😋)

    ⏱️ Time to hike: 5.5 hours
    🥾 Hiking level: While the first 30 min. difficult, afterwards easier
    🌞 Weather & temperature: Freezing (we started at 7 a.m.) wear a cap, gloves, two thermal shirts, the warmest jacket, sports leggings, thermo leggings and warmer trousers)

    DAY FOUR.

    April 5 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ -14 °C

    📍 Start: Namche Bazar, 3443 m.ü.M
    🏁 Destination Tyangboche, 3876 m.ü.M - Pangboche 3930 m ü. M.

    After a comfortable night, we left Namche Bazar once again at 7am. Our destination was at an altitude of nearly 4000 m. So I thought, we would only hike up today. As we started to walk going down, I quickly realized, it isn’t just about going up.😵‍💫 We went about 300m down from sea level and afterwards nearly a thousand meters up.🙉At 2:30pm we finally arrived the little village „Pangboche“ while it was snowing. ☃️
    I was wet from my underwear to the top layer.😅
    For today, it was definitely sufficient. 🤭

    The hardest and most challenging part of the day is washing me after hiking and getting into fresh, warm clothes. 🙉 Normaly, we don’t have to wash us outside, but inside itis also very freezy because there is no electricity. 🥶 I went to bed early, but it tooks a long time to feel me warm enough to sleep, even I was in my sleeping bag, wearing warm socks, two shirts, a pullover, a cap, and my buff. I also had the chance to warm me up with two blankets because it was a room with two beds and two blankets.🙏🏽😴

    ⏱️ Time to hike: 7.5 hours
    🥾 Hiking level: firstly easy, afterwards difficult, last one hour very difficult
    🌞 Weather & temperature: So freezing, windy,
    sun was always shining but the wind was so cold
    🤗 Feelings: greateful, impressed,
    for today enough, ready what tomorrow brings, not as tired as i expected, feeling freezy    Read more

    DAY FIVE.

    April 6 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ -12 °C

    📍 Start: Pangboche, 3930 m ü. M.
    🏁 Destination: Dingboche, 4410 m ü. M.

    This morning, I felt much more comfortable and warmer than yesterday evening. I also felt recovered and ready for the day, but I also knew that we would have a short hiking trip of only about 3.5 hours, which motivated me as well.🤭 We hiked up the whole way, but the stunning view made the journey easy, even if it was steep.🌞🏔️

    As we arrived in Dingboche, which is located about 4410m, we checked in, into our accommodation. Afterwards, I spent the whole afternoon reading, eating, and drinking in a fancy café. It was the first café with a cozy, warm interior. I really enjoyed it.😍

    ⏱️ Time to hike: 3.5 hours
    🥾 Hiking level: easy
    🌞 Weather & temperature: pleasant, warm,
    🤗 Feelings: regenerated, recovered, warm, comfortable    Read more

    DAY SIX.

    April 7 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ -15 °C

    📍 Start: Dingboche, 4410 m.ü.M
    🏁 Destination: Dingboche Ri, 5400m ü. M.
    —> back to Dingboche, 4410 m.ü.M

    Today is our acclimatization day in Dingboche. It means we will acclimatize us to an altitude over5000m above sea level. A hike nearly 1000m to the top will reward us. After my lazy afternoon yesterday, I’m so ready to climb more hills and mountains, and surely, every step will be worth it. 🤩🏔️🌞

    Even if the hike was hard and challenging, it was the most beautiful day until now.🤩🤩
    I can‘t wait to reach the everest base camp.😍

    ⏱️ Time to hike: 5.5 hours
    🥾 Hiking level: hard, challenging, exhausting
    🌞 Weather & temperature: warm as we hiked up, cold as we hiked down
    🤗 Feelings: inspired, overwhelmed, grateful for my vitality, energy, well-being & no symptoms of sickness because of the altitude🙏🏽😍

    Today, I met Christine from the Netherlands again in the mountains. The first time we met us was on the flight to Lukla, after in Namche Bazar again. She told me that she have to share the room with five other guys and that she couldn’t sleep because they snore. She’s very kind, and I also felt a little bit of „mitleid“ so I invited her to sleep in my room tonig, because I have a second bed.

    The worst thing happened🤭, we had to wash us outside.🙉🥶    Read more
