Slow Start, Big Mountains — Perfect Acclimatization

What I loved most about the road‑to‑EBC route was the gradual rise in altitude. Starting from near‑sea‑level Kathmandu, driving up to around 2,400 m, then trekking slowly upward gave my body time to adjust. By the time we entered the glacier‑zone, I felt strong and prepared. The route via 4×4 and footpath through remote valleys, old villages and ridges was stunning. The sunrise over Everest from Kala Patthar felt even more rewarding knowing how far we’d come.
