Fourth episode of the series, Isabelle travels to Mount Everest!
"After Bhutan, I left to Mount Everest...
I always wanted to see the Everest close up, since my first trip to Nepal in 2003, when I went to the Annapurna region with Exodus.
I got really interested in the Himalayas, so I book myself a Trek to the Everest Base Camp, one of the best treks in the world. I was very eager to make my way up there! Everest is really special! It was a fantastic journey. It was really an amazing adventure. I will never forget the sight of the Everest.
Mount Everest, highest peak on Earth... 8,848m! I was there!
I can only admire people who tried to climb to its summit; so many did not come back. It was really inspiring. The locals were really nice, as well as the food. I really recommend the trek to everyone."
