In Search of Everest ( click for details of slideshow presentation )

For our second visit to Nepal the lure of the Everest Region proved irresistible. After several days in Kathmandu we caught the bus to Jiri and followed the traditional route used by Hillary and many others, initially to Lukla and then up the Dudh Kosi valley to the gateway to the Everest area Namche Bazaar. There followed 11 days of some of the most magnificent trekking we have ever undertaken.
