Another night with fresh snow blew over, and I still had serious sleep problems. We left Lobuche at 07am, wandering through a beautiful snow-covered wonderland. Though it’s badly noticeable we are not off the beaten path anymore. It’s getting really crowded. We arrived Gorak Shep, our highest overnight stay at 5.170 meters. Actually I expected only one lodge, but the demand seems to change the conditions quickly, even at these altitude. I guess there are almost ten accommodations now. Well, I stayed at “Yeti Resort”, which is still a tea house, but I don’t know the requests to get the title “resort”. We had lunch there and headed for Everest Base Camp finally! The weather was relatively clear, so we caught a glimpse at the end of the highest mountain on earth. Lots of yaks crossed the narrow path, they carried various stuff to EBC. The landscape was really impressing, I’ve never seen such a massive ice and snow area. It took about 2 hrs to the Base Camp, as expected it was crowded with camera-packed tourists from all over the world. So we made our shoots and walked about 1,5 hrs back to Gorak Shep. I even get stronger problems with the altitude, now a light dizziness occurred additionally. Everybody shows more or less signs of Altitude Sickness here. At least, oxygen is available everywhere for an abnormal price.
