Everest Base Camp Trek – 2021

Marc and Jane Stewart decided year ago to join another couple, Chris and Mary Madison, whose son is Garrett Madison of Madison Mountaineering, on a bucket-list trip to Everest Base Camp alongside another group with intentions to summit Mt Everest in May. The trip has come together given the ebb and flow of Covid 19 throughout the past year. In fact, the quarantine in Nepal was lifted a week before our trip started. We don’t anticipate wearing masks on the trek except possibly in/around tea houses if they are crowded. Covid has kept travel down, so we expect relatively uncrowded conditions. Additionally, it appears we will actually be able to spend a night at EBC. The original itinerary had us staying at Gorek Shep, walking up to EBC and returning to Gorek Shep.
