Hello and welcome to Yak Trek.  This is a conglomeration of information compiled for the planning and preparation for a trek to Mt Everest, Nepal. 

If you want to read the day to day logs we wrote on the trail check out the Yak Logs. 

Check out the Everest Photo Gallery at F9photo.com.

To make things more interesting and to give me something to do on the 24 day journey I updated the website via a satellite phone.  I built a web engine that parsed a custom XML files that I uploaded each day from my laptop into this web site.  I used a Thuraya phone to transfer the data to this site.  Because I now shoot in digital, I had to bring solar panels to charge my EOS 1D Mark II, laptop and other necessities (like my Ipod).  This has also become a repository of information for people carrying electronic equipment on expeditions.
