The thrill of high-altitude trekking in Nepal was once available only to a gung-ho few. Recently, the journey has become moreaccessible.
In April 2011, co-host of international television show WordTravels and travel writer Robin Esrock will lead a trek to the Everest Base Campwith World Expeditions.

The journey begins in Kathmandu Valley andascends through Sherpa villages to Tengboche Monastery, where awestruck hikersget panoramic views of the rock star mountains of the Himalayas: Tawache,Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam.
Hikers will traverse part of thetreacherous Khumbu Glacier, followed by an ascent of Kala Pattar (18,192 feet),before stopping at Everest Base Camp.

“In Nepal, acclimatizing is goingto be key, as is exercising for several months beforehand to ensure your bodycan take it,” Esrock cautions. “Wearing in your gear is a must, althoughthose
incredible Sherpas will no doubt be worth their weight instardust.”
