This fifth reportage, concludes the journey in Nepal on the trek to Everest Base Camp, a 12 day trip in a context of woods, monasteries, mountains and glaciers. From Lukla (2840 m) along a path with some days of acclimatization from Namche Bazaar (3440 m), Tengboche (3860 m), Dinghboche (4410 m), Gorak Shep (5140 m), until to reach the summit of Kala Patthar (5550 m) from which you are in front of the imposing and spectacular Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. No bus, car, motorbike, bicycle, a trakking that is a jump in the past to move only by foot. Just a good physical fitness, a good workout in the mountains and a good willpower to see one of the 10 destinations that definitely worth seeing in the life. An unforgettable journey that will remain forever in the mind and in the heart.
