✍🏻 Mt Everest Base Camp diaries - Part 1 of 3 🗻
 P.S. Feel free to ask me anything about the trek below, I’d love to help! 💕
 1️⃣ Acclimatisation day in Namche Baazar. ☺️ 2️⃣ On the same day, we did a 3-hr hike up and down Khyangjuma ⛰️ to prepare for higher elevations! It helps with lessening the risk of developing altitude sickness in the next couple of days.🤞🏻Update : No AMS for me! 3️⃣ Loving how the sun and fresh clean air feels on my (albeit parched and cranky) bare skin. 😚 🧴 Skincare must-haves (imo): A cream-based moisturiser, sunblock, a UV cap with a face & neck flap, polarised sunglasses. 4️⃣ Namche from up above. Breathtaking!! 😍
Over 25k steps taken that day. Still feeling mighty fresh at this point. Really happy that all my weekly 1-hour walks + stair climbs have paid off! ☺️ 5️⃣ Here at the starting point, knowing I’m ready for what would be my life-changing experience of 2023. 🧩 6️⃣ How late noons were spent 🗺️ - My guide Kamal and I marking out checkpoints (and toilet breaks LOL #sorrynotsorry #priorities). Being quick on trails gave us long hours in teahouses to talk about life, what to expect for the next day and the Himalayas. ⛰️ 
7️⃣ A day whereby I was constantly asked by locals - “Are you an athlete?” - just because my @mobilus.sg top said so. 😂 #help. 8️⃣ I got to spend a lot of time in Namche people-watching and writing reflections. Seeing photos of it now, almost 4 months on, still makes my heart feel a certain way. 💭🤎 9️⃣ By Day 3, I realised that despite kinder terrains and comfy-er teahouses (compared to Mt Rinjani - where I slept in a tent ⛺), EBC required a greater level of endurance and physical fitness. A LOT more ground (per km of elevation) was covered over a period of 12 days. 🥵 At first, the cold at nightfall was a terrible shock to the tropical baby I was, but I adjusted very quickly in a day or 2. ✌🏻 1️⃣0️⃣ Me and my pilot feeling positive about.. Actually, I have no idea. 🤔 We haven’t taken off yet. 😂 🚁 P.S. My guide was from Nepal Hiking Adventure Company, you can look them up on Tripadvisor! #JamieChecksEBC #MountEverest #Everestbasecamp
