Reply to comment by AlphaIrwin in Mt Everest from the Base Camp, Gorakshep [5500x37000] OC by AlphaIrwin
I disagree on that… I did the Annapurna circuit back in 2014 and I’ve done part of the 3 passes and the EBC twice now since then. I found the people through the Khumbu more friendly, the scenery and trekking more awesome and the lack of roads a winner. The AC has too many roads and vehicles for enjoyable walking. I’d like to do the Manaslu circuit if I could, and it looks like Mustang would be really cool, although much more desolate. I loved Nepal. I’d like to go back but I’m into my 60s now and it’s a massive challenge. We are lucky to have been and seen it, my friend.

The peak you refer to is part of Nuptse, which forms a ridge all the way along to Lhotse, which itself joins the main peak of Everest through a ridge. Everest is visible here, the small peak just showing left of centre in the gap between the two closer peaks.

That pic isn’t taken from base camp. You can’t see Everest from there. It looks like the pic was taken part way up Kalapatthar, the little hill behind Gorakshep that gives you amazing views of the mountain.
