Fit@Fifty : A Journey To The Everest Region - part #02 from Iwan Ketch on Vimeo.
We are a group of 10 people, with an average age of almost 50, with different work professions, but who share a common interest in outdoor activities, specially mountaineering, challenged ourselves to reach the Everest Base Camp in Nepal. The objective is to prove that we are physically fit enough to trek up to above 5000 meters above sea level. That’s why we called ourselves the Fit@Fifty Team. The whole journey took a total of 24 days of traveling which include 17 consecutive trekking days to complete the trekking adventure. The journey started from Jakarta on October 4, 2009, flew to Bangkok and stayed overnight. The next day we headed straight to Kathmandu (1400 m), the capital city of Nepal,.After stayed two nights in Kathmandu, we flew to Lukla (2840 m), using a 15 seats airplane. The trekking adventure started from Lukla and 17 days later back again to Lukla, which the adventure ended. This book is dedicated to our family members and all of our friends that have supported the Fit@Fifty Team in achieving our goals to reach the summit of Gokyo Peak (5357 m), Kalapatthar (5550 m), Island Peak (6189 m) and the Everest Base Camp (5364 m) in the Everest Region - Nepal, in October 2009.
