The trail to go up to the base camp was very steep. We couldn’t figure out how the porters can carry 50kg on their shoulders up to this way. Someone said that it’s their job, they grow up by doing that. We are engineers and they are porters. Yet it’s hard to believe how they can manage. It took about 3 hours to reach the part of glacier that we need to cross. The view was terrific, fantastic, breathtaking and whatever else. It was like being on a mountain magazine or in one photo of my old school book of geography .
