Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Surkey - Cheplung

The adventure began after we arrived by helicopter, as most flights had been canceled due to weather conditions during our holiday.
We kicked off our journey with a short hike that included many stairs, which set the stage for the challenges that lay ahead.

Ciocănești - Viziru

I might have overdone it with breakfast and lunch today—0.5kg of muesli, 0.5 liters of milk, and two bananas left me feeling quite bloated. After that, I could barely bend over due to my swollen stomach!

The landscape became increasingly picturesque after passing Călărași, with more horses appearing along the roadside, adding to the charm of the journey. In the evening, I got lucky when a rain front could not reach me. To top it off, I met some very hospitable Romanians who kindly invited me into their home. Although they only spoke Romanian, we managed to communicate using the iTranslate app.

Langer aber gut zu fahrender Anstieg zum Passo San Jorio (Teer, Schotter).
Danach wird der Trail schmaler und bietet entlang dem Grenzgebiet von Schweiz und Italien schöne Aussichten in die umgebende Landschaft.

Our acclimatization hike brought us to Ama Dablam Base Camp, where we began to feel the effects of the thin, dry air, resulting in a scratchy throat reminiscent of a cold.
Ama Dablam is one of the most picturesque mountains in the area, its stunning peak standing majestically against the sky and captivating all who visit.
