It was the best decision of my life and at 59 I fulfilled my lifelong dream (seeing Mt. Everest).<\/p>\n<p>For my preferred date I was the only one, and geo Discovery even offered to run the tour for me alone. In the end another partner was found who had the same interests.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving in Nepal, I was very kindly welcomed by Bishnu, and a temple tour into the country with my future guide was specially organised for me the next day. Due to a lack of flights I had to arrive earlier and this temple tour was spontaneously arranged for me for acclimatisation. That&#8217;s how I got to know and appreciate my guide Machendra. On the trekking tour he proved to be an outstanding expert on all the mountains, knew all the 8, 7 and 6 thousanders with name and height, was always there for me as friend and helper, and safely led me over mountains and passes at altitudes above 5,000 m (highest peak was Kala Patthar at 5,545 m). He took away all my doubts, I never had the feeling that I wouldn&#8217;t make it. So I was able to successfully cross Gokyo Ri with its beautiful turquoise lake and the Renjo Pass. Despite sometimes icy cold and exertion, it will remain an unforgettable experience for me. I will also not forget Kaji, who even took my day pack from me, the only pity was that he didn&#8217;t speak English.<\/p>\n<p>My guide Machendra was not only an outstanding expert on the mountains, he knew the country and the people and was also a good photographer and took super pictures for me. Back in Kathmandu, a guide named Khadga was made available to me as a companion, who patiently went through my shopping list with me and fulfilled all my wishes in the chaotic Kathmandu.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">I am deeply impressed by the country and the people and it was already my 2nd trip!<\/span> I can only recommend this trek with its wonderful views of the 8,000 m peaks, and I would do it again at any time and always with geoDiscovery Tours.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the team and for the support!<\/p>\n<p>Namaste<br \/>\nChrista<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-8488\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geodiscoverytours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Everest-Base-Camp-mit-Gokyo-Cho-La-und-Renjo-La-_-geoDiscovery-Tours-360x227.jpg\" alt=\"everest-base-camp-mit-gokyo-cho-la-und-renjo-la-_-geodiscovery-tours\" width=\"360\" height=\"227\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 3.11.2016 to 27.11.2016 I travelled to Nepal again after 2014 and this time, after the Annapurna Circuit, I chose the Everest Base Camp with Gokyo via Cho La and Renjo La with geo Discovery.
