Dr. Walter and TanAB - analysing the map of Everest Base Camp
On Sunday afternoon, both Dr. Walter and I went to Tan AB’s house. The purpose was to brief Dr. Walter what to expect since both Tan AB and I have been to that part of the world before. Tan AB, an avid trekker and a marathon runner, has trekked to Kalapathar and Everest Base Camp. As for me, after reaching Cho La Pass, Nepal our team returned and did not trek to Kalapathar.
TanAB returned from trekking in Nepal two weeks before I started my trekking to Cho La Pass on 23 May 2007. And before I went, I actually got tips from him what to bring and to expect. That valuable briefing took almost two hours.
Going through the trekking details with Dr. Walter was fun as it rekindled the memorable trip. Time past fast and the briefing session took three hours to complete!

Dr. Walter is engaging the same Trek and Tour Company in Nepal - Mt. Manaslu Adventure Treks Ltd owned by Mr. Cheban.
