Journey to Everest Base Camp

My journey to Nepal, Tibet, and to Everest Base Camp in Tibet was stunning and memorable. Here are some photographs of Everest at full moon, on Oct 4th, 2009, 8km from Tibet Base Camp. Log on to the SA Sunday Independent website for my article published on November 1, 2009.

I followed this trip with a visit to the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, to Sehlabathebe National Park – a botanical treasure house of wild flowers and an area so remote that few people visit.
