Myanmar? What is this country? Myanmar or Burma? These are the first questions that usually arise when we hear about Myanmar. Before I traveled to Asia, I didn’t know much about this country.

However, fate worked and on the plane from Singapore to Cambodia I met a couple of Poles who traveled to Asia for many years and in their opinion Myanmar is one of the most beautiful and interesting countries to visit. For an hour they told me about the magnificence of Myanmar and when I landed in Cambodia I knew that I would then go west to Burma via…

Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Ri Nepal trekking description
Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Ri trekking is the icon of the Himalaya trekking routes. I first heard about trekking in Nepal at a presentation in Warsaw’s Meridian Zero café at the end of 2017. There was a sentence that went something like this: The Himalayas are not so inaccessible, you just need to want and prepare well. I returned home full of enthusiasm, thinking about the Himalayas. A few days later, on one of the travel groups, I noticed an announcement about going to the Himalayas for trekking to the base under Mount Everest, or Everest Base Camp (EBC) through Lake Gokyo and the peak of Gokyo Ri.

After searching the Internet, I first rejected the option of the most crowded section, but also the one that is easiest to get to – Badaling. The second most popular is the Mutianyu section, due to the fact that it is the best restored and adapted section…
