Everest Base Camp Trek quite commitments, so that you can imagine how athletes do it on the run? In November 13th Everest Marathon will take place and the trail from Namche Bazar to Everest base camp will have a knock on his sneakers, and not the usual hiking boots.

Everest Base Camp Trek takes you through an unforgettable environment challenging hikes and scenery to get the adrenaline rush. But with each passing year, there is a certain group of endurance runners who decided to take advantage of this transition to the next level, adding to the experience of adrenaline race and stress of working at height.

Everest Marathon is not a normal marathon. At altitudes of from three hundred to five hundred meters above sea level, which is the highest in the world.

The route is rugged terrain, as well as rugged, corrugated dirt tracks.

There is no excuse for running out of ideas for a picnic, that is, if your every outdoor meal qualifies as a picnic – which it actually is.

It doesn’t matter if the picnic that you plan to have is just between you and special someone or your entire family, as long as you plan your picnic, you can never go wrong.

Some people love to be outdoors and to be active while others simply do not. I have friends who would like nothing whatsoever with doing outdoor recreation like kayaking, jogging, walking, hiking and so on. It is very difficult for me to understand as being active outside is one of my most favorite things about this world we live in.

If I go out and do some type of recreation outside I just about always come back with a clear head and a much happier outlook on life. For me, outdoor recreation is like therapy… the cheapest and best kind one could find.
