Drew and I ✅ off a big bucket list item! We hiked 85 miles to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. 🏔️ 🥾
We hiked around 6 hours each day walking mixed terrain of rocks, boulders, ice slopes, and glaciers. Our trek also included Chola Pass which, at around 18,000 feet, is no easy feat! 😛
We`re grateful to have had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the majesty of the Himalayas.
