Heduš the Everest

So we are finally back in Kathmandu. We can say that we are walking on the mountains quite a bit. Nearly 20 days, we walk the Himalayas ….
Trek to base camp, climbers Mt.Everest is quite challenging. Sit in a small plane at the airport in Khatmandu and it transports you to Lukla about 2600m/nm (a small village at the foot of the Himalayas). Landing at Lukla is quite an experience, aircraft landing uphill and right brakes to not break the rock. I recommend weaker povahám not looking over his shoulder the pilot during landing.

Well we did it right from the airport and we headed off to the direction of Namche Bazaar. We went through Lukla, and the winding trail, we slowly walked back to the hills and descended into the valley. The last hill before Namche is quite challenging. I climb of 900 meters above about 3km.

Namche is located at a height 3500m/nm. It’s a big mountain village, where there are many hostels and restaurants included. trekking shops. Here we spent two days for acclimatization. The biggest danger of this trek is a mountain sickness! Many people feel well and goes immediately above. This is a great and dangerous mistake, and you can become a lot of money, but most of life! Current health insurance is paid up to an altitude of 2500 and the helicopter Periche (about 4200 meters above sea level) is about 3500 USD. Well, I can say that the helicopter we met quite often. Many people underestimate it and then life goes on. So we get a little rest in Namche, hired sherpa and then continued on.

Before we get into the already mentioned Periche took about 3 days. There again, we stayed two days and there have already appeared the first signs of nausea and headaches. Me a couple of hours of headache and Frenk had intestinal problems. Well, my headache subsided, but suffered further Frenk. We continued the difficult climb on and on. Physical exercise at high altitude is really terrible. You can not catch my breath and have a lot to save energy. Just small steps and slowly higher and higher. The mountains will thank you for the effort its beauty. The Himalayas are fantastic, but scary. A single wrong step and it’s over. Below are the paths uzoučkými stametrové abyss.

We finally arrived at Labouche 4800m/nm. Frenk has served the last, and Eve has enough problems. It’s no fun. It is overcast, snowing and a helicopter to get here. Staying the night in a hostel. Every night you spend at an altitude of 3500 is something interesting. First you seem different dreams, and the climb above it are the wilder dreams and do not sleep at all. Just over 4500 m can not sleep. The second day, no change. Frenki is sick and Eve in addition to chest pain. It can not go on! Outside it’s snowing and we’re one day after the goal. The hostel has arrived Englishman, who came from above, and informed us of the bad weather. I decided to take my chances and go it alone this purpose, use the sash. In my mind I prayed and prayed climbers souls who rest under the highest mountain in the world, either arrange for good weather.

Well, perhaps it began to work a few hours and stopped snowing. We arrived with a purpose, use the Gorakchep 5200 m.n.m. They hunted me really, it did not pay any altitude and was not tired at all. Bounced along the way and sang a Nepali song. I panted behind him and could not speak. Nepalese Sherpas are all guys, he wears a back up to 120 kilograms and are thin and have malý.Turisté Goretex designer clothes and sturdy shoes. Sherpas wears tennis shoes or rubber slippers. They live the high life in the mountains and altitude to them no problem ….

The night was pretty cold, about -20 degrees outside. and a room of about -5. In the Himalayas is not heated dormitories. In the evening, only to drown in the restaurant, where the iron stove in the middle of the room. Load up yak dung, kerosene and grief already fajrujou. Come and sit around the sherpas and tourists to vyhřívajíi.

I survived the night at 5.00 in the morning and set out with purpose, use the final journey. We ascended the hill on behalf of the Khala Pathar 5500m/nm the height from which the best view of Mt.Everest. Dawn and the sky was pretty clear. I was knocked cold and the fact I nemohl.Vystup me completely devastated, I was a KO, but still give it up. The sun came and lit up the Himalayan giants ….. so it was worth it for!! It was a wonderful thing, jumped over Everest and the sun lit up the snow on the mountains and later on the glacier. Meanwhile, we arrived at the top of the Khala Pathar and I could shoot.

After about half an hour, we descended about 300 meters below the hostel. We had tea and went back to the valley, which lies la bouche. There we waited Eve Frenki. Eve was always wrong, but Frenk decided after seeing my photos, it wants to mount too, and that he is no better. We agreed that I will go down to Namche and Eve and he us with the purpose, use, then catch up. Come down already as much lip do not need to acclimate, and it goes pretty quickly. In Namche we arrived in three days. There we rested and waited for Frenki. And then we did it in one day zmákli Lukly.To to be challenging! We slept in the morning and flew to Kathmandu. And now we are waiting in Kathmandu for the new Indian and Pakistani visa. I hope that soon we will be able to leave. In Nepal, after the elections and the Maoists Communist victory. Quite a surprise to me, but there is peace and nothing happens. We will go back to Nepal via Delhi, where we have to apply for a new Iranian visa. And then Pakistan, Iran and houses. So perhaps the log from Pakistan. The city Queta the Internet and then for some songs.
