The whole trek takes around 14 days. I took this between Phakding & Lukla. I didn't really plan the shot just turned around and snapped the view for the last time (actually took it on the way down). I like how the river leads the eye up to the mountain peaking out of the clouds in the top left.

Isn't it a bit late for Everest base camp? Or is this an older image?
Amazing shot btw

Would recommend the trek to anyone but the flight into lukla is pretty terrifying for a nervous flyer! If you are a nervous flyer you can pretty much do the entire trek up to base camp on google streeview which is pretty cool! https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@27.7902291,86.7191181,2a,60y,178.34h,86.95t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGJwDRVtJkPI7bub51dZ-Xw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
I think I've worked out near enough the exact spot I took the picture from.. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@27.7598036,86.7109856,2a,75y,86.39h,95.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sTwYXfwiUEQ8gmWE-7axMOg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
And this is my shot of Everest I'm working on. https://imgur.com/a/kYgE0 Took it from near the top of Kala Pattar.
