Just give me through the journey, start to finish, give me the whole rundown.

Shikha RajuGUEST
So I arrived in Kathmandu on the 6th of April, and the expedition officially started the next day, um, which is 7th of Ap- April.

Shikha RajuGUEST
In our group, there were only two of us climbing with Adventure Consultants, so we had a very small team, but we joined one of their Everest Base Camp trekking groups.

Shikha RajuGUEST
That turned out to be one of, one of the highlights, to be honest, because there were so many interesting people from around the world.

Shikha RajuGUEST
And as we walked through the E, Everest Base Camp track, you just mingled with so many different and just different perspective.

Shikha RajuGUEST
And as the days passed, we, and we gained altitude, people started getting sick, and, and some of them had to turn around and go back down.
