Actress Shwetaa Khanduri, known for her work in TV show 'Baalveer Returns' and series 'Avaidh', trekked from Kathmandu to Mount Everest Base Camp.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The famed Everest Base Camp trek typically takes you from Kathmandu (Lukla) to the base camp, which lies around 5,364 metres above sea level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Describing the liberating feeling of finally reaching the Base Camp, Shwetaa said: "It felt unreal. For a second I was so overwhelmed that I actually did this. My mother in her young days always wanted to trek but unfortunately she couldn't do it so when I told her about it, she was over the moon. The feeling of achieving the unachievable makes it even more special. I am glad I made my parents proud."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She left for the trek on April 22 via a flight from Mumbai to reach Kathmandu. Reflecting on a journey, she said: "Basically our trip started on the April 23. We had to travel from Kathmandu to Ramechhap which was followed by a 6-7 hours of road travel to the airport."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Half the people of the trip reached Lukla a day prior which made things tough for us, however, we were very excited and looking forward to commence our journey. We reached Lukla on the 24th morning."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shweta started her trek on the morning of April 24: "We had to start the minute we landed because we had to cover for the lost time so our first trek was straight for 16 kms. We continued to trek for 7 days continuously to Mt Everest base camp."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The journey was literally breathtaking - I was short on breath because of the altitude which didn't stop me from reaching my destination. I even fell sick during my journey but my drive to reach Everest Base Camp took over every difficulty. I would like to thank Boots and Crampons and Romail Barthwal sir for inspiring and motivating us through the journey."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Calling it a memorable journey, Shweta lost her way back to her accommodation because of the snowfall: "I lost my way back which was scary. It was snowing due to which we lost the traces of our track, however, we managed to find our way back."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
