Weather
in the world's highest mountain range is rather
unpredictable. Spring is high season for trekking,
but warmer weather can mean view-obscuring clouds;
fall and winter trekkers enjoy better photo
ops while braving chillier temperatures. Most
Base Camp bound itineraries are the same. All
you have to do is put one foot in front of the
other and soak up the scenery. But of course,
before taking up on this high-altitude adventure,
have to be sure that you're physically prepared;
the last thing you want on your epic journey
toward Everest is a trek-ending with a spell
of Acute Mountain Sickness, or even worse. |

treks in the environs of each of these peaks, and
among them, those around Mt. Everest are particularly
