Today’s episode is Part 2 of my Mount Everest Base Camp Trek Travelogue from May of 2018. If you haven’t yet listened to Part 1, I highly recommend starting there so you can catch up on the journey so far, as I travel from to Kathmandu to Namche Bazaar with a group of five fellow New York City based photographers. This episode covers days 8 through 18, as we continue up and across the Sagarmatha National Forest, all the way to Base Camp, and back down, stopping in different villages and teahouses along the way. If you’ve already listened to Episode 1, thank you so much! I’ve gotten some lovely feedback about the format and am excited to share the conclusion with you today.   And if you happened to hear it back when it was first released and have been eagerly awaiting this follow up, I sincerely thank you for your patience! Podcasting has been a fun and creative way for me to share outdoor adventures and stories with you, but it’s just one part of my greater Girl Gotta Hike universe. While I fully intended to pop out this second installment the following week, I found myself both booked up for the foreseeable future with guided trips and photo gigs, and bogged down with the boring behind-the-scenes business stuff that eats away at my best intentions.   While six er.. seven months may have slipped by between that last recording and this one, the sentiment remains the same -- I’m so stoked that you’ve tuned in to head back to the hills with me and hear about the second half of this Base Camp Adventure!   Gossamer Gear — use code “GIRLGOTTAHIKEGOSSAMER” for 15% off your first purchase at GossamerGear.com Check out GG’s amazing backpack lineup here: Vagabond Jet (25-Liter) Mariposa (60-Liter) Gorilla (50-Liter) G4-20 (42-Liter) Kumo 36 (36-Liter) 1-Hour Coaching call with Click – use code “EXTRAHELP” for 15% off three or more sessions at girlgottahike.com Anjali’s Cup Turmeric Blends — use code “GIRLGOTTAHIKE” for 10% off your cart at anjaliscup.com Camera Voyages travel company Kancha The Last Sherpa video by William Vazquez Kancha Sherpa Foundation Nirvana Home, Namche Bazaar Himalayan Rescue Association Kids of Kathmandu
