About this episode
I hiked to Everest Base Camp to commemorate my 65th birthday. In Part I of this two part series, I cover how I prepared and trained, what I packed and what I carried with me in my Day Pack, Lukla flight tips, tea houses (that's where you sleep along the EBC trail), porters, guides a bit about Kathmandu and more. Part II covers more of the actual trek experience. You can download it here.
