ianalmond218 Hi Daniel,

I am currently in Kathmandu, looking around for trekking partners for the EBC from Jiri trek.

I was hoping to leave Kathmandu at the end of August or very early in Sept. I have to be back by the start of Oct because my brother is coming out for a few weeks, arriving on 2nd Oct. I reckon it would take about 4 weeks so the latest i could leave would be the very early in Sept. When do you arrive? Is that too early?

I am also planning as low a budget as possible, ie bus to Jiri, trek to Lukla, no guide etc. I have no tent, and was willing to tea house it, but would be willing to camp.

I recently trekked in Ladakh, (Chilling, Shingo, Yurutse, back to Leh) and it was great, i hear there have been heavy rain and floods in the region now tho.

Is there any chance you will be able to do EBC when i can?

I am in Kathmandu at the moment and could be ready to depart in a day or two's notice, but i have to be back in Kathmandu for the start of October. I am a 27 yr old male from England with some limited trekking experience. Any takers out there? Ian
