89 years young Nora on Everest base camp – Nov 2018
Take a recent trip to Kathmandu – not a place for the faint hearted but
a destination that was on Nora’s bucket list and in November 2018 got the
chance to visit for a once in a lifetime trip.
Nora started each day with breath-taking views of the Himalaya’s from
her Mountain View hotel (weather dependent). Then after a hearty breakfast we
accompanied Nora to visit the following:
- Durbar square Kathmandu.
- Pashupatinath, the Nepalese cremation site – not everyone’s cup of tea but very interesting and a moving experience with loads going on.
- Swayambunath, the monkey temple.
- Buddha Stupa.
- The Old palace in Kathmandu.
- Patan, one of the three old kingdom cities.
- Bhaktapur the third old city.
Most afternoons consisted of lunch back at the hotel or at a nearby
attraction, followed by a stroll through the streets of Thamel, (tourist market
area) or a visit to the relaxing garden of peace. Nora also visited Chitwan
National Park and went on a canoe trip (a dugout tree), a jungle walk, and
visited the elephant programme.
The highlight for Nora was a one day private helicopter flight to Lukla
airport and then to Everest base camp where she was simply spellbound by the incredible
scenery at Everest base camp. The helicopter carried
oxygen, as travellers can experience some dizziness at altitude. Although Nora was
a bit lightheaded this proved to be no problem.
Nora who
lives in Cardiff said:
“Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that at my
age I could get to Everest base camp, this is breath-taking” (literally!)
