Mount Everest fascinates nearly everyone; it must be the best known mountain in the world. Coming close to this giant is an amazing experience, and inevitably imposes respect.
For years, Mount Everest had increasingly fascinated me, and exerted an attraction I could not withstand forever. While traveling from Lhasa towards Nepal, it is actually quite easy to visit. When I woke up the morning of our trip to EBC as Everest Base Camp is conveniently called, I felt excitement right away. We had a small break because of a flat tyre, which made me a little impatient. After a great classic ride up Pang La pass on a dirt road with an endless number of switchbacks, the view suddenly opened to us. There it was: Mount Everest, part of a chain of snowy white mountains contrasting perfectly with the deep blue sky behind it. My breath was taken away, not so much for the altitude of 5,120m, but because of the spectacular view. We had to deal with many more switchbacks on our way down, passed some villages in Dzaka Valley, but then had the misfortune of another flat tyre - without another spare. Eventually, this forced us to turn around and sleep in Shegar. The next day, we had an uneventful drive, and arrived quite early in EBC.
