Finally, I have looked, sorted and classified all the sensations and pictures from the trip to the mountains. Generalized, it looked all as follows:
Location: Nepal, Sagarmatha National Park (Sagarmatha), trekking to the foot of Everest and then a less known route through the pass Cho La.
Type: hiking single standalone campaign.
The route and altitude: Lukla (2840) - Namche Bazaar (3440) - Feriche (4240) - Labuche (4910) - Mount Kala Patar (5550) - Labuche (4910) - Dzongla (4830) - pass Cho La (5368) - Machermo (4470) - Namche Bazaar (3440) - Pakding (2610) - Lukla (2840).
For those who know and understand: (!) Started in Lukla, I one day came to Namche (all said that this is not possible), then even one day before Feriche and as a result already on the fourth day of the journey was on Cala Patara . If we assume of Kathmandu, where the height of 1,300 meters, over the four days of vertical drop was 4250 meters.
Outcome: mountain sickness in acute form, terrible headaches, nausea, vomiting, complete loss of appetite (the first 6 days could not eat), a complete lack of sleep, hypothermia, exhaustion, swelling of limbs and face. On the seventh day - a sharp increase in vitality and energy, full satisfaction of the trip and life in general.
Why it was all necessary. I know that from the standpoint of mining experience and common sense it was almost madness. Experienced people do not. They go up into the mountains slowly pass acclimatization, trying to avoid any unpleasant consequences at an altitude of life. But I was conscious of it, and knowing about the headaches and nausea about (mountain sickness I have happened in the past), and about all the other difficulties. It was a deliberate shake the body and, if you like the person, from the stagnation and bad habits (such as the desire for comfort), the audit of internal reserves. And it worked! After the trip I feel an irresistible thirst for life, any food - kicks, any slightest convenience perceive with pleasure, any problems seem to be nonsense, not worthy of attention.
I do not advise anyone to repeat my experience, for it is mine and no one else. But to go this route (slowly and with acclimatization - as you advise in any travel agency) - thing to make at least once in your life! "Better than mountains can be only mountains" - it is an objective truth which can be challenged only never been to the mountains. The immensity of the universe, which are you the Himalayas, is not comparable with any other feelings in this life. Well, actually, Everest - top, even after seeing that, you realize that there is something to strive for in this life and the question "What am I living for?" Raises very serious (I'm not talking about her conquest!).
And for what you live? For the sake of sitting trousers in the office for a salary that you have enough to maintain comfort and safety of the imaginary life? For children, of whom you grow such as clerks, how are themselves? Do you have something to remember from your last beach holiday? You can be proud of, in addition to the regular certificate confirming that the device you know some nobody wants mechanism, invented in order to not think, and stupid to click on a button? You generally ask ever imagined such questions?
I ask myself. And that's why I'm going to the mountains, not on the beach, so I deliberately expose themselves to danger. It is in such places and such situations come the answers to all these questions.
