21 beautiful days. That\u2019s how long it took for Kate from\xa0Bags Always Packed\xa0to get to Everest Base Camp and back. What was incredible was how she did it.\xa0On a budget, last-minute, and solo.\xa0\n\nListen on\xa0Spotify,\xa0Apple Podcasts,\xa0Google Podcasts, and all other platforms; just search \u201cBetween The Mountains\u201d or\xa0Ask Alexa!\xa0\n\nTrekking To Everest Base Camp\xa0\n\nBefore we start,\xa0feel free to click here\xa0to access Kate\u2019s blog on solo trekking to Everest Base Camp.\xa0It includes everything you need to know, so\xa0I highly recommend having a browse of that and more on her website.\xa0\n\nWhat was fantastic about her trip, was the side-trip she took towards the end, and her finale. I\u2019ll let you listen on, but it sounds just so stunning, and\xa0a perfect way to end her time there.\xa0\n\nAfter seeing the cheapest tour priced at around $3000, she figured this was definitely outside of a backpacker\u2019s budget.\xa0\n\nSo, her thoughts were that as she was exploring India and Nepal before this, she would meet a few others who wanted to take the pilgrimage. However, getting closer to the time frame there was still no-one headed that way.\xa0So, off Kate went by herself.\xa0\n\nAnd what a brilliant decision that was.\xa0\n\nI\u2019ve spoken before\xa0how solo-travel is so important in regards to self-development and headspace. For Kate, she was already a strong and independent person, so heading out was no problem. You can hear this in how she tackled\xa0her trip to Tonga.\xa0\n\nThe challenge didn\u2019t seem overly ridiculous to her, and was on her bucket list. So, confronting where to stay, budget, altitude and the\xa0dodgy-yet-probably-fine flights to the start point, Kate cracked on and managed to complete the journey.\xa0\n\nHear in this podcast how she did it,\xa0the route she took and the people she eventually met. Finally,\xa0hear about her majestic end to a wonderful three weeks.\xa0\n\n-------------------\n\nIf you enjoy the show please subscribe/follow and\xa0share with a friend!\xa0\n\nIf you\xa0really\xa0enjoy the show please check out our\xa0Patreon site here.
