We did a 9-day unguided and self-supported hike to Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and Kala Pathar (5,550m). The views were amazing with clear blue sky. I shall let the images speak for the experience. The first set of images is in portrait mode (make sure you click on the side of the picture to see the next one), while the second set is in landscape. Enjoy!

Panic set in as we tried the radio, but there was no answer. Our hearts pounding, we clung to the rope, waiting for any sign of life, but we knew in our bones that something terrible had just occurred.
