Everest Base CAmp Trek

Everest Base CAmp Trek

Everest base camp trekking is a famous and challenging trek in Khumbu Nepal. The trek is famous for its spectacular mountain peaks and friendliness of its inhabitants (Sherpa). The Everest region (Khumbu) is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in Nepal. While many of the routes through the mountains are difficult, there are ample places to rest and enjoy a meal along the way. The trekking is possible in this area, the whole year around, but the best times to visit are from the beginning of March to mid May and from the beginning of September to mid November.

The trekking to base camp begins early morning, by flight from Kathmandu to the mountain airstrip to Lukla, the heart of Everest Region, then around three hours walk we reach at Phakding and then we continue north up to Dudh Kosi valley and to Namche bazaar, there we spend a day for acclimatization. Next day, we continue our trekking to Kala Pattar and subsequently to Everest base camp; we have one day rest in Dingboche or Pheriche in between and for some side trips and further acclimatization. We have some magnificent views of Everest along with Nuptse, Lohtse and Mount Pumori and we return back to Lukla and catch our flight to Kathmandu.

5 Simple Tips on Choosing the Right Motorhome Rental

You can do this by matching your needs to the motorhome with the best or closest match. Firstly, consider how many passengers you’d have or berths that you would need. In this case, the beds that you would be needing with the people travelling. This is the first thing to consider and must be right the first time. This will decide and help you narrow your motorhome choices. Berths range from 2 berths, 3 berths, 4, 5 and even 6 berths. Note that double beds count as 2 berths in some motorhomes, so take care in choosing.

Next, what facilities would you need? Determine how self-sufficient you’d want to be. Possibilities include toilet, heating, shower, kitchen, storage, batteries or power and gas heating. Note that even a small motorhome has all the facilities and probably would have smaller water tanks and fridge, too. Which means, you’d have to “service” your vehicle more often that with a larger version. If you are arranging for camping away from campsites, then you’d want to be self-sufficient as possible and take note of the facilities you would need. But in case you’d be planning to stay in campsites during most of your time, you may take the opportunity to avail of the modern campsite facilities such as a shower and toilet. Which also means you wouldn’t be constantly refilling your water tank. Small campervans may meet all the self-sufficiency requirements, but they can be limited when it comes to comfort and space. Consider the lay-out and access in this case.

When you’ve got that covered, how long will you be on your trip? How long you will be away is a deciding factor with creature comforts. Consider the living space you’d want to have for a week’s trip, and so forth. The limited space is often a big factor for children. Fresh water and waste water tanks mean frequent refilling and emptying of cassettes and tanks.

Would you be driving most of the time? Or would you rather spend it most of the time on campsites? Whatever your travel plans are, just be cautious that some areas and roads have restrictions when it comes to motorhomes. Driving a motorhome is entirely different than driving a family van. Consider the width restrictions on the area you would be visiting. Motorhomes oftentimes could be too wide in some roads. Consider the flexibility of your motorhome, the maneuverability and dimensions, especially with high tops. Rental operators can help you with this one.

Finally, the budget! Obviously motorhomes aren’t cheap. This is because of the age of the vehicle, the amenities, and the design of the motorhome. Which is good news, because this means that this can be a good initial investment. Rent the newest vehicle that they would have, aging from 0 – 3 years.

Renting a motorhome can be of great value, as it is cheaper in some ways. Give it a try on your next vacation.

Masai Mara National Park.This region has been a major tourist attraction for many years due to its excellent location and many, many options available like the balloon ride, visiting of the Masai Village, walking safari in the park and many more. Although a tourist place, it is also quiet and peaceful and here you’re surrounded by Mother Nature: from one side you have the masai grazing their cattle and on the other side you have the lion lying helplessly under the trees.

Here you can breathe in the fragrance of pine groves or also acquaint yourself with the golf course fairways. A unique, unspoilt place offering unforgettable experiences. Here, sky’s the limit.

Holidays in Troia can include:

– enjoying the sun in one of the many lovely beaches,

– embark on nature walks or biking on the Arrabida (The Arr?bida Natural Park, covering an area of approximately 26,687 acres, has predominantly Mediterranean vegetation, with some rare species unique to the region),

– go on a boat trip and you may be able to see pink flamingos flying above you and lovely friendly dolphins swimming below you. Truly an experience you’ll never forget!

– Sailing, diving and kite-surfing are also activities you can enjoy here.

Free Orlando Boat Rides

Do you want to get a free boat ride while visiting Orlando? Well I have a way to enjoy Orlando while taking a free boat ride down a beautifully landscaped path.

Here’s how you do it. Drive to downtown Disney and park close to the Rain Forest Caf? in the public parking lot. Walk down the boat dock on the far end of the Rain Forest Caf?. Take the boat to Port Orleans. It will take approximately 25-30 minutes and go down the most beautifully landscaped areas of the Disney World property. While at Port Orleans walk around and enjoy the colonial style lodging. It is very peaceful and best of all free.

A round trip will take you almost an hour but won’t cost you a dime. All Disney’s transportation is free and can take you all through their wonderful properties. Enjoy your self and try to find all the hidden Mickey’s on the property.

Universal Studios is set up the same way. You can take the free boat from Universal City Walk to all 3 hotels. The ride to Portofino Hotel is the most enjoyable and takes about 15 minutes. You will get whisked away to a far away place with grand architecture and beautiful landscape.

There are still many great things that come for free. Just open your eyes and use your imagination and you are sure to have a great time.
