Two months later, I finally finished my video of the trip. Come check it out!
Everest Base Camp Trek 2013 (Youtube: 5:12 minutes)
It's been delightful to revisit my trip through the video, to remember huffing up those hills but being able to look up and see the fluttering flags against clear blue sky and jagged mountains. I hope you can see how the terrain changed, from the chaos of the city to the lush mountains when we first got to Lukla to the stark terrain above treeline. And I hope you get glimpses of the company we had on the trail, especially the porters carrying dramatic loads of all sorts of things. I left in sounds too - though I muted the heavy hum of the tiny airplane, the wind across the microphone above treeline, and the overwhelming hiss of the crickets in the jungle.
Maybe I'll get to go back!
