I-Gorakshep: Isitobhi Sokugcina Ngaphambi Kwekhempu Ye-Everest Base – Umhlahlandlela Ophelele Wama-Trekkers

IGorakshep: Indawo Yokugcina Ngaphambi Kwekamu Lesisekelo Lase-Everest IGorakshep idolobhana elincane elisezindaweni eziphakeme esifundeni sase -Everest eNepal , futhi empeleni yindawo yokugcina ngaphambi kwekamu lesisekelo lase-Everest (EBC). Iphakeme ngamamitha angu -5,164 (16,942 ft), iGorakshep iyindawo yokuhlala enomoya ethafeni eliyisicaba elizungezwe yi -Everest, iLhotse, iNuptse, nePumori . Igama layo livame ukubizwa ngokuthi lisho “amagwababa afile,” yize imvelaphi eqondile yaleli gama ingaqinisekile, ibhekisela endaweni engenalutho, eneqhwa.

Nakuba cishe ingenamuntu unyaka wonke, i-Gorakshep igcwalisa abantu abahamba ngezinyawo neziqondiso entwasahlobo nasekwindla. Njengendawo yokugcina yasebusuku kumzila we-EBC wakudala, isebenza njengendawo ebalulekile yokujwayela kanye nephuzu lokugxuma lokuqwala izintaba eziya e-Everest Base Camp naseKala Patthar.
Indawo kanye neJografi

IGorakshep ilele enhliziyweni yeSagarmatha (Everest) National Park esigodini saseKhumbu eNepal. Indawo yayo echibini eliyiqhwa isho ukuthi umhlabathi unesihlabathi futhi unamatshe - cishe njengogwadule oluphakeme kakhulu. Idolobhana lakhiwe ngeziqongo eziphakeme: Ngosuku olucwathile, ungabona i-Lhotse, iNuptse, iPumori, ne-Lingtren, kuyilapho i-Everest ngokwayo ifihliwe kakhulu e-Gorakshep futhi ibonakala kuphela lapho ukhuphuka ubheke eKala Patthar.

Umoya mncane ngo-5,164 m, futhi amazinga okushisa ayabanda, ngakho-ke kusekhona izihlahlana ezinenhliziyo nobulembu lapha. Ehlobo, ilanga lingaba namandla, kodwa ebusuku kubanda; ebusika, iqhwa limboza idolobhana. Isimo esidlulele se-Gorakshep - ethafeni eliyisiqhwa sasendulo ngaphansi kwezintaba eziphakeme kakhulu emhlabeni - siyenza isimangaze njengoba ikude.

Ukufika eGorakshep

IGorakshep ayifinyeleleki ngomgwaqo noma ngezimoto – kufanele uhambe ngezinyawo. Indlela evamile iqala ngendiza eya eLukla (2,860 m) usuka eKathmandu. Ukusuka eLukla, ulandela umzila we-Everest Base Camp wakudala cishe isonto lonke. Izindawo ezivamile zokuhamba yiNamche Bazaar (3,440 m), iTengboche (3,860 m), iDingboche (4,350 m), bese kuba yiLobuche (4,940 m).

Ama-Trekkers ngokuvamile afika e-Gorakshep cishe ngosuku lwesi-7 noma lwesi-8 lokuhamba ngezinyawo. Umlenze wokugcina, i-Lobuche ukuya e-Gorakshep, cishe u-4-5 km wendlela ewumqansa, ukhuphuka cishe amamitha angu-200 ukuphakama. Kuwuhambo olunamatshe, oluphezulu, ngakho-ke kufanele uhambe kancane futhi uphumule njengoba kudingeka. Uma usufikile e-Gorakshep, uzobe usuzuze umuzwa wokuphumelela - lokhu kuphakeme njengoba iningi labahamba ngezinyawo lilala ohambweni lwe-EBC.

Iqhaza ku-Everest Base Camp Trek

Iqhaza lika-Gorakshep kuhambo lwe-Everest alinakugcizelelwa. Yindawo yokugcina yokulala esendleleni eya e-Everest Base Camp – indawo lapho abagibeli bezitimela baphumula khona, badle, futhi balale ngaphambi kokududulana kokugcina.

Ngokomlando, iGorakshep yaze yaba yi-Everest Base Camp yokuqala yohambo lokuqala ngawo-1950 (ngaphambi kokuba amaqembu athuthe ikamu eduze neKhumbu Icefall). Namuhla, ngemva kweGorakshep, umzila uyaqhubeka uye e- Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) noma uye endaweni evelele iKala Patthar (5,545 m).

Ukuhlala e-Gorakshep kubalulekile ukuze ujwayelane. Kulokhu kuphakama, umzimba udinga isikhathi sokuzivumelanisa namazinga omoya-mpilo aphansi kakhulu. Iningi lezinhlelo zohambo lokuhamba lihlela okungenani ubusuku obubodwa e-Gorakshep ukuze abaqwala izintaba bakwazi ukuphumula futhi balulame.

Izindlu zetiye lapha zinikeza ithuba elibalulekile lokwehlisa ijubane ngaphambi kokubhekana nohambo lokugcina lokuphakama okuphezulu. Ngale ndlela, i-Gorakshep "iyindawo yokwethula" yezinyathelo zokugcina zohambo - noma ngabe lokho ukuvakashela i-Everest Base Camp ngokwayo noma ukugibela phezulu ukuze ucwiliswe ekuphumeni kwelanga kusukela e-Kala Patthar.

Izinto ongazenza e- Gorakshep

Naphezu kobukhulu bayo obuncane, iGorakshep inikeza izindawo ezimbalwa zokuhamba ngezinyawo okumele zenziwe. Okusobala kakhulu uhambo olufushane oluya e-Everest Base Camp uqobo. Ukusuka edolobhaneni, cishe amakhilomitha angu-3.5 ukuya nokubuya (cishe amakhilomitha angu-7 ukuya nokubuya), kuthatha cishe amahora angu-3-4 ukuya nokubuya endleleni enamatshe egudla i -Khumbu Glacier.

Lolu hambo losuku luzokuvuza ngamatende adumile ekamu eliseceleni aqoqene ngamamitha angu-5,364, futhi lunikeza imibono eseduze ye- Khumbu Icefall kanye neziqongo eziseduze njenge-Nuptse ne-Pumori. Iningi labahambi likwenza lokhu njengohambo losuku olufanayo ukusuka eGorakshep bese libuya liyolala eGorakshep ngalobo busuku. (Akekho ohlala ekamu eBase Camp ohambweni – kumele ubuye.)

Okunye okugqamile yiKala Patthar, umfula okhuphuka ngaphezu kweGorakshep. Kusukela edolobhaneni, i-Kala Patthar cishe i-3.5 km namahora angu-1.5-2 wokukhuphuka izintaba. Ngokuvamile kwenziwa ngaphambi nje kokuntwela kokusa ukuze ufinyelele esiqongweni lapho kuphuma ilanga.

Ukusuka endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angu-5,545 eKala Patthar, uthola umbono odumile: isiqongo seNtaba i-Everest phambi kwakho, sizungezwe yizintaba ezinkulu zaseLhotse, eNuptse, nase -Ama Dablam . Abagibeli abaningi babheka lo mbono wokuphuma kwelanga njengento evelele kulo lonke uhambo.

Ngaphandle kwalezi zintaba ezinkulu, ukumane uhlole indawo yedolobhana kuyajabulisa. Ungakwazi ukuhamba uzungeze ithafa elinesihlabathi futhi ukhuphuke izintaba ezincane ukuze ubone ama-engeli ahlukene eziqongo ezizungezile. Amafulege omthandazo andiza emoyeni, futhi kuyazithoba ukuma endaweni “ehlane” ngaphansi kwemidondoshiya eminingi engamamitha ayizi-8 000.

Ezindlini zetiye, ungahlala eduze kwesitofu, ujabulele isobho elishisayo, futhi uthathe indawo ye-panoramic yasePumori, Lingtren, ne-icefall - konke okuyingxenye yesipiliyoni se-Gorakshep.

Indawo yokuhlala kanye nama-Teahouses

Izindawo zokuhlala e-Gorakshep ziyisisekelo kakhulu. Zimbalwa kuphela izindlu zetiye nezindawo zokulala ezisebenza lapha, futhi zinikeza amakamelo alula kakhulu. Ngokuvamile, igumbi linemibhede emibili engashadile enomatilasi abancane kanye netafula elincane.

Izindonga naphansi kukhona plywood noma ukhonkolo; akukho ukushisa emakamelweni okulala. Amazinga okushisa ngaphakathi azofudumala kancane kunangaphandle, ngakho-ke uzofuna ukulala nesikhwama esisindayo sokulala (futhi ugqoke izendlalelo embhedeni).

Igumbi lokudlela elihlanganyelwayo liyinhliziyo yeloji ngayinye; ngokuvamile kuba nesitofu sokhuni noma i-yak-dung evuthayo phakathi ukuze kugcinwe umoya ufudumele. Ama-Trekkers ahlangana lapha kusihlwa ukuze adle, aphuze i-chai, futhi afudumale ndawonye.

Ezinye izindlu zetiye zinikeza izihlambi ezishisayo (izihlambi zamabhakede) nogesi wemishini yokushaja, kodwa lokhu kulinganiselwe kakhulu - ngokuvamile amahora ambalwa wamandla ngosuku, futhi ngokuvamile ngezindleko ezengeziwe. Lindela ukukhokha inkokhelo yeshawa eshisayo (ngezinye izikhathi u-$5–10 noma ngaphezulu). Ukukhanyisa emakamelweni kuvamise ukuba namandla elanga noma amandla ejeneretha, ngakho kungaba lufifi noma kube namabala.

Ngamafuphi, ungalindeli noma yikuphi ukunethezeka e-Gorakshep. Ayikho i-Wi-Fi, ayikho isevisi yokuwasha, futhi akukho okunethezeka. Konke ku-rustic. Kodwa lokho kulungile - abahambi abaningi bajwayela isimo esifana nesomlilo wekamu ngokushesha, futhi ubungane babanikazi bamaloji buyasiza amagumbi aseSpartan.

Letha ibhange lakho lamandla kanye nama-earplugs (izindonga zincane futhi indawo yokudlela ingaba nomsindo), futhi uzokhululeka. Khumbula: isikhwama esihle sokulala kanye nezingqimba zezingubo kuyizivikelo zakho ezingcono kakhulu zokulwa nobusuku obubandayo.

Ukudla namanzi

Izinketho zokudla e-Gorakshep zibukisa lokho okuthola kwamanye ama-teahouse ase-Himalaya aphezulu - ukudla okulula, okunenhliziyo, okucebile nge-carb. Lindela izitsha ezifana ne-dal bhat (i-lentils nelayisi), ama-noodle emifino noma enyama, irayisi elithosiwe, ama-omelets, namasobho.

Konke kwenziwa esizeni ezindaweni zasekhishini eziyisisekelo. Ngenxa yokuthi konke ukudla kukhushulwa (ngama-yak, izimbongolo, noma abathwali bempahla), amanani aphakeme kakhulu kunasezigodini eziphansi. Isibonelo, ipuleti le-dal bhat elibiza u-$3–4 e-Namche lingase libe ngu-$6–8 ngesi-Gorakshep. Ukudla kwasekuseni kuvame ukulula (i-oatmeal noma amaqanda), futhi ukudla kwakusihlwa kuvame ukufaka uhlobo oluthile lwesitshulu noma ukhari.

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukugcina ama-calories akho phezulu lapha. Amakhaza ashisa amandla engeziwe, ngakho ukudla njalo (ngisho nokudla okulula okuncane phakathi kokudla) kukusiza ukuthi uhlale ufudumele futhi uqinile. Iziphuzo ezishisayo njengetiye, ikhofi, noma ushokoledi oshisayo zitholakala kalula - futhi zikufanelekela emakhazeni. Amanye ama-lodge angase abe nama-noodle asheshayo noma ama-popcorn njengokudla okulula.

Amanzi eGorakshep ayivelakancane. Awekho amanzi ampompi ahambayo emakamelweni. Amaloji ahlinzeka ngamanzi abilisiwe noma ahlanziwe avela emithonjeni yendawo, futhi kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi uwahlanze noma uwabilise amanzi okuphuza, kodwa kufanele abiliswe noma alashwe kuqala.

Amanzi asemabhodleleni ayathengiswa, kodwa abiza kakhulu (ngokuvamile u-$3–5 ilitha). Indlela eshibhile ukuphatha ibhodlela elisebenziseka kabusha namaphilisi okuhlanza amanzi noma isisefo. Abaningi abahamba ngezinyawo bahlela ukuphuza iziphuzo “ze-electrolyte” noma “zamandla” kanye noketshezi nosawoti owengeziwe. Khumbula ukuthi ukuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni kuza ngokushesha endaweni ephakeme, ngakho phuza njalo.

Ekugcineni, imali iyinkosi eGorakshep. Awekho nhlobo ama-ATM lapha. (Eqinisweni, ngemva kwe-Namche Bazaar, ngeke usabona amanye ama-ATM kulo lonke uhambo.) Qinisekisa ukuthi ukhipha ama-rupee e-Nepali e-Lukla noma e-Namche ngaphambi kokukhuphuka. Uzodinga ukheshi wendawo yokuhlala, ukudla, amanzi ashisayo, amashawa, nanoma yiziphi ezinye izinsiza - zonke zinenani lama-rupee.

Ukuphakama, Isimo Sezulu, Nezinkathi Zonyaka

Ku-5,164 m, i-Gorakshep iphakeme kakhulu - enye yezindawo eziphakeme kakhulu abahambi abaningi abake balale kuzo. Amazinga omoya-mpilo lapha acishe abe uhhafu walokho ayikho ezingeni lolwandle, ngakho wonke umuntu uzwa imiphumela yokuphakama. Njengoba ungase ulindele, isimo sezulu sibi kakhulu.

Izinsuku (uma libalele) zingase zifudumale ngamadigri ambalwa nje ngaphezu kwezingaqhwa (0–5°C), kodwa ebusuku kwehle ngaphansi kakhulu kuka-0°C. Eqinisweni, ngisho nasezinkathini zonyaka ezinhle kakhulu (entwasahlobo nasekwindla), ubusuku buvame ukuwela cishe ku-10°C noma kubanda. Ebusika (Dec–Feb) amazinga okushisa angehla aze afike ku-20°C noma ngaphansi ebusuku.

Isimo sezulu e-Gorakshep saziwa ngokushintshashintsha. Ngolunye usuku ekuseni kungase kucace futhi kuzolile, ngokulandelayo, isiphepho seqhwa singangena ngaphandle kwesixwayiso. Umoya onamandla uvamile, ikakhulukazi ntambama nakusihlwa, okwenza kuzizwe kubanda nakakhulu. Ngenxa yokuthi umoya womile, uzolahlekelwa umswakamo ngokushesha (umphimbo wakho nesikhumba kungase kome), ngakho pakisha izinti kanye nesithambisa. Kufanele futhi uphathe izingubo ezinezingqimba, ezingenamoya ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Izikhathi ezingcono kakhulu zokuvakashela i-Gorakshep (futhi uhambe ngomzila we-EBC) intwasahlobo (March–May) kanye nekwindla (September–November). Phakathi nalawa mafasitela, isibhakabhaka ngokuvamile sicacile futhi isimo sezulu sizinzile, sinikeza ukubonakala okumangalisayo kwezintaba.

Entwasahlobo, uzobona ngisho nezihlahla ze-rhododendrons eziqhakazayo emahlathini aphansi. Ekupheleni kuka-Ephreli nasekuqaleni kukaMeyi kuba nomsindo oyingqayizivele wesizini yokukhuphuka i-Everest eBase Camp. Ekwindla (ikakhulukazi u-Okthoba noNovemba), uthola nezinsuku ezomile nezipholile nobusuku obupholile - abaningi babheka u-Okthoba njengenyanga efanelekile yokuhamba ngezinyawo e-Everest.

Ngokuphambene, izivunguvungu zasehlobo (June–August) ziletha amafu amakhulu, imvula, ngisho neqhwa ezindaweni eziphakeme, ngokuvamile zenza imizila ibe nodaka futhi kungabonakali. Ubusika (Dec–Feb) kubanda kakhulu futhi kuneqhwa; izindlu zetiye eziningi eSigodini saseKhumbu zivaliwe, futhi izindiza eziya eLukla azivamile. Ngakho-ke, ngaphandle uma ungumqwali wezintaba onolwazi, ukunamathela entwasahlobo noma ekwindla kukhulisa kakhulu ukuphepha kwakho nokuthokoza kwakho.

Izinselele Zokuhamba Nokugula Kwendawo Ephakeme

I-Gorakshep kanye nomkhondo oyizungezile kuletha izinselelo ezinkulu ezimbalwa, nakubahambi abangomakadebona. Okusobala yi-altitude. Ku-5,164 m, umoya mncane, ngakho ukuphefumula kunzima futhi umsebenzi womzimba uzwakala ukhandla.

Iningi labantu lizothola izimpawu ezithambile zokugula kokuphakama kwendawo, lapha yikhanda elibuhlungu, isicanucanu, ukungakuthandi ukudla, ukukhathala, noma ukuphelelwa umoya kuvamile. Eqinisweni, ukugula kwe-altitude (AMS) kuyingozi enkulu yezempilo ohambweni lwe-EBC.

Ukuze unciphise i-AMS, khuphuka kancane futhi ujwayelane kahle. Kubalulekile ukuphuza amanzi amaningi futhi udle ukudla okune-carbohydrate eningi ukuze usize umzimba wakho ukwazi ukuzijwayeza. Abahambi abaningi baphumula usuku e-Dingboche noma e-Lobuche ngaphambi kokudlulela e-Gorakshep, futhi abanye baze baphumule ubusuku obuningi e-Gorakshep ngokwayo.

Vumela umzimba wakho uvumelane nezimo - hamba kancane, ijubane eliqinile futhi ungajahi. Uma uqala ukuzwa izimpawu ezinzima (ukudideka, ukukhwehlela uketshezi olunamagwebu, ubuthakathaka obukhulu), yehla ngokushesha futhi ufune usizo lwezokwelapha. Ioksijini yesimo esiphuthumayo ingase itholakale kwezinye izindawo zokulala noma ngendiza enophephela emhlane uma kudingeka, kodwa indlela ephephe kunazo zonke iyehla.

Ngaphandle kokuphakama, amakhaza nomoya kuyinselele enkulu. Ngisho nasekupheleni kwesizini, kufanele ulindele ubusuku obubandayo. Imimoya enamandla ingase ikhulise ukulahlekelwa ukushisa. Izingubo ezifanele (bheka ngezansi) ziyimpoqo. Futhi, umzila ongokwenyama ngokwawo ungaba lukhuni: amatshe axegayo, amabala aneqhwa (ikakhulukazi ekuncibilikeni kweqhwa entwasahlobo), nama-moraines angalingani adinga izicathulo ezinhle nokuhamba ngokucophelela.

Izinsiza zikhawulelwe. I-Gorakshep inogesi omncane (ngokuvamile amahora ambalwa nje ebusuku) futhi azikho izikhungo zezokwelapha zangempela. Phatha ikhithi yosizo lokuqala eyisisekelo, imithi yomuntu siqu, nanoma yiziphi izithasiselo ocabanga ukuthi ungazidinga.

Kungase futhi kube nokuxhumana okungamabala; izindawo zokulala ezimbalwa zinesevisi yocingo lwesathelayithi noma ukumbozwa kwe-SIM okulinganiselwe, kodwa akufanele kuthenjelwe kukho. Uhlelo lwezimo eziphuthumayo: Kutuseka kakhulu ukuba nomshwalense wokuhamba onekhava yokuphuma ngendiza enophephela emhlane.

Noma kunjalo, kube nemizamo eminingana yokunqoba lezi zinselele; nakuba ibhekene nezinkinga eziningi, izinkulungwane zabahamba ngezinyawo zifika e-Gorakshep ngaphandle kwezinkinga minyaka yonke ngokulungiselela kahle nokunakekela imvelo yezintaba. Lezi zinselele akufanele zishaywe indiva, futhi ngokulalela kahle umzimba wakho, uzofika e-Gorakshep futhi ube nesikhathi esimnandi lapho.

Yini Ongayipakisha Ohambeni Lwe-Gorakshep

Ukupakisha okuhlakaniphile kubalulekile ezimweni ezinzima e-Gorakshep. Nazi izinto ezibaluleke kakhulu:

• Isikhwama Sokulala Esifudumele: Isikhwama sokulala esilinganiselwe ebusika (-10°C kuya ku-15°C isilinganiso sokunethezeka, noma -18°C ezinyangeni zasebusika) siyanconywa ukuthi sisetshenziswe ngosuku lwasebusika, futhi kufanele silinganiswe ebusika, okusho ukuthi singabi ngaphansi kuka -18 °C. Akukho ukushisa emakamelweni, izingubo zokulala ze-teahouse zincane, ngakho-ke, lokhu akuyona inketho.
• Izingubo Ezihlukene: Pakisha isisekelo esishisayo (uvolo noma okokwenziwa), uboya bezimvu noma izendlalelo ezimaphakathi ezivalekile, kanye negobolondo langaphandle elingangenwa umoya/elingangeni manzi. Ngisho nasekuseni nakusihlwa yizikhathi lapho kudingeka khona ijazi eliphansi noma ipaki.

• Imali: Dweba ama-rupees engeziwe e-Kathmandu noma e-Lukla. Awekho amabhange/ATM ngaphezu kweNamche Bazaar.

Ngokulungiselela ukuphakama nokubanda, ukugcina igiya lokuphepha liseduze, nokulithatha linensa, ungazinciphisa kakhulu izingozi. I-Gorakshep ingase ibe yindle, kodwa ngokuqapha, iyisitobhi esivuza ngokumangalisayo ohambweni lwakho lwe-Everest.

Isikhathi Esihle Sokuvakashela i-Gorakshep

Izinkathi ezikahle zohambo oluya e-Gorakshep (kanye ne-Everest Base Camp) intwasahlobo (March–May) kanye nekwindla (Sept–Nov). Entwasahlobo, uzuza ezinsukwini eziningi ezinelanga, isimo sezulu esipholile, kanye nesasasa lenkathi yokuqwala i-Everest.

Ikwindla inikeza isibhakabhaka esicwebile nezimo ezinzile, kanti u-Okthoba udume kakhulu. Phakathi nalezi zinyanga, imizila igcwele iqhwa kanye nezimvula ezinkulu, futhi izinga lokushisa lasemini liyabekezeleleka (nakuba kusabanda ebusuku).

Ngokuphambene, inkathi yezimvula ezinkulu (June–August) iletha amafu amakhulu nemvula eKhumbu, okwenza izinkambu eziphakeme zibe manzi futhi zishelele. Iningi lamadolobhana aphansi aluhlaza futhi aluhlaza ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa ngaphezu kwamamitha angu-5,000 lingakwazi ukukhithika. Ubusika (Dec–Feb) busho ukubanda okubi kakhulu, iqhwa elijulile, nokukhanya kwemini okufushane; ambalwa kakhulu amaqembu azama i-EBC ebusika.

NgoMashi-Meyi noSepthemba-Novemba bahlanganisa isimo sezulu esingcono kakhulu nezinsuku ezinde zokuhamba. Uma ubeka isikhathi sohambo lwakho lwalezi zikhathi zonyaka, wandisa ithuba lakho lokubukwa kwentaba okucacile (okuhlanganisa ne-Everest ngokwayo) kanye nezimo zomzila olawulekayo.

imibuzo ejwayelekile ukubuzwa

Q: Kuyini ukuphakama kweGorakshep?

A: I-Gorakshep ingamamitha angu-5,164 (16,942 amafidi) ngaphezu kwezinga lolwandle. Lokhu kuyenza ibe njengenye yezindawo zokuma eziphakeme kakhulu zokuqwala izintaba ku-EBC futhi kusikisela ukuthi ukuphakama kuyisici esibalulekile ohambweni.

Q: Lingakanani ibanga kanye nobude besikhathi sokuhamba ngezinyawo phakathi kwe-Gorakshep ne-Everest Base Camp?

A: Ebangeni elingu-3-4km (cishe uhambo oluyi-8km nokubuya) i-Everest Base Camp ne-Gorakshep. Uhambo lwe-Gorekshep ukuya e-EBC uhambo lokuya nokubuya lwamahora angu-3-4 oludlula ezindaweni ezingalingani. Uhambo losuku lwabahambi abaningi: ukuqwala intaba ukuya e-Base Camp bese bebuyela ukuyolala e-Gorakshep.

Umbuzo: Ingabe iGorakshep inazo indawo yokuhlala?

A: Yebo, kodwa indawo yokuhlala eyisisekelo kuphela. Kunezindlu/izindawo zokulala zetiye ezimbalwa ezincane eziqhutshwa e-Gorakshep ngesikhathi sohambo. Bangamakamelo ayisisekelo anemibhede emibili asebenzisa izindlu zangasese. Inezinsiza ezincane, izindonga ezincane kakhulu, akukho ukushisa ekamelweni, futhi amanzi ashisayo ayivelakancane. Awudingi ukubhukha izinto ezikude kakhulu, futhi ezimweni eziningi, imisebenzi eyenziwa umholi wakho wokuvakasha.

Umbuzo: Yikuphi ukudla engingakuthola e-Gorakshep?

A: Izindlu zetiye ze-Gorakshep zinikeza ukudla okulula, okune-carbohydrate eningi yaseNepali. Ezivamile i-dal bhat (irayisi nodali), amasobho, ama-noodle, irayisi elithosiwe, namaqanda. Lezi zisiza ekuvuseleleni amandla omzimba futhi zivimbele ukubanda. Iziphuzo ezishisayo (itiye, ikhofi) kanye nokudla okulula (ama-noodle asheshayo noma amabhisikidi) kuvame ukuhlinzekwa.

Q: Yiziphi izimvume ezidingekayo ukuze uhambe uhambo oluya e-Gorakshep nase-Everest Base Camp?

IMP: Kudinga ikhadi le-TIMS kanye nemvume ye-Sagarmatha National Park ukuze ugibele intaba kule ndawo. Bonke abagibeli abazimele banesibopho sokuba nekhadi le-TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) (cishe ama-USD 20). Ukuze ungene esifundeni sase-Everest, imvume ye-Sagarmatha (cishe i-USD 30 yabantu bangaphandle) iyadingeka.
