We'll reach the small settlement of Gorak Shep, then continue to the legendary Everest Base Camp, where climbers from around the world prepare to summit Everest and Lhotse. Our own expedition teams (led by Valentyn Sipavin) ascend from the Tibetan side, but we’ll record a greeting video for them and send our best wishes for luck and weather!
