Everest Base Camp is a strange place. Situated at 5200 metres on the north face it was first used by the 1924 British Expedition. The ‘camp’ where non-climbers stay consists of a dirt road surrounded on both sides by a shabby collection of glorified tents, with names such as ‘Hotel California’ and ‘Snowland Hotel’, and sellers of tat. There is even a post office at the end of the track from where you can send an exorbitantly priced postcard.
