Trekking to Everest Base Camp is also an essential portion of the route for each Everest summit effort. There are Everest Base Camp trek packages such as Ultimate Everest Trek package, Three High Passes Trek package (https://www.holidaynepaltrek.com/package/three-high-passes-trekking-to-everest/) and many start with a flight into Lukla airport at a height of 2860 meters. Every one of these trekking routes provides a picturesque and fulfilling approach to attack the growth in elevation of 2500 meters located in 5360 meters in altitude. These Everest treks include rest days to supply mountaineers and trekkers having an opportunity to get used to the thinner atmosphere while enjoying the scenery on the route.

For mountaineers, the trek to Everest Base Camp is only the start of their experience. They set their Everest Base Camp as they launch into the last stages of their training and acclimatization which comes before any summit effort when they get to the head of the Khumbu Valley. It's a process which could take months, and often years, of planning and planning.

For the famous television survival expert, Bear Grylls, his 1998 expedition to Everest's summit took three weeks to finish. At that moment, he had been the youngest Briton. The next year, his British album was then eclipsed by Rob Gauntlett from Sussex, aged nineteen.

However, nine years later, Bear Grylls returned into the Everest trekking area and made a venture. He tried to fly a paraglider into an altitude exceeding Mount Everest's summit. Bear would fly at a supercharged car designed by his friend Giles"Gilo" Cardozo, attempting to transcend the present elevation record for paragliding of 20,017 ft (6101 meters).

In May 2007, the team set their"Mission Everest" Base Camp having trekked with their heavy gear to an elevation of 4400 meters in Nepal. Together with three hours' worth of oxygen, fuel and very good weather, Bear and Gilo introduced themselves in the air.

Shortly they had been spiraling up to some height further than that helicopter that was following their progress. The cameras onboard the paragliders revealed a spectacular sight of a ribbon of blue skies merging into the blackness of space over, which in the heights they reached they might view even though it was daytime.

After two minutes of upwards, when he was convinced he'd triumphed, Bear turned off his engine and then glided down through the mountain landscape that makes Everest trekking special. The plan was to corroborate their elevation using a global positioning system and altimeters; when they had been about four miles above the Mission Everest Base Camp, unfortunately, they discovered in the atmosphere and high-temperature temperatures, their tools froze.

Although the reading that the instruments required before they froze revealed that Bear, in 7621 meters, had surpassed the existing paragliding record and was climbing, the document can't be official without a valid reading from the altimeter. Nonetheless, is clear what Bear had attained in the machine of Gilo. The images from the onboard cameras revealed the height of Mount Everest had cleared, and the team estimated he had attained. This took him to above 3640 meters higher compared to Everest Base Camp (that's over two miles) and nearly five miles over sea level.

Whilst you embark on your Everest Base Camp Trek, spare a thought into adventures, actions and the intricate preparations which may be going on in the trail's top end.
