It has 12 bikers from around the world. Aussies hold majority (they are four). <br /><br />What an incredible adventure this is going to be! They will start riding from tomorrow - 15 days total - until Kathmandu. There will be everything - paved road, crushed stones, small towns, curious children, dramatic landscape (hopefully no&nbsp;landslides), and not to forget the Everest Base Camp. Kalden, our guide, is excited as always&nbsp;(he doesn't mind even&nbsp;though this may well be his 26th time on this route, lol).<br /><br />This is the only trip in the world where you can ride to the base camp of world's highest mountain.The team will be supported by one of most experienced crew from Nepal and Tibet.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3198042813953556310-7858748659636908976?l=makaluadventure.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sandeshnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198042813953556310.post-1498752831413472512009-05-04T10:08:00.000-07:002009-05-04T10:08:00.826-07:00The British climbers group consisting Edward Culbertson, Neil Crawford and Steve Paterson flew to Lukla this morning.
