ʻO Everest Short Trek vs Classic Trek: ʻO wai ka mea kūpono iā ʻoe?

ʻO ka huakaʻi hele wāwae maʻamau ʻo Everest Base Camp (EBC) he 12-14 mau lā (me ka huakaʻi), me ka wikiwiki mālie a me nā lā hoʻomaha i kūkulu ʻia no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana. I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ʻo ka huakaʻi hele wāwae "pōkole" EBC e hoʻopili i ke ala i loko o 9-11 mau lā , pinepine me kahi puka helikopter e mālama i ka manawa. Hiki i nā mea ʻelua ke hōʻea i kahi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe like (ma kahi o 5,545 m ma Kala Patthar ), akā ʻo ka huakaʻi hele wāwae pōkole e koi ana i nā huakaʻi hele wāwae lōʻihi i kēlā me kēia lā a lawe mai i kahi pilikia kiʻekiʻe o ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe me ka ʻole o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa hou ʻana. ʻO Everest Short Trek vs Classic Trek: ʻO wai ka mea kūpono iā ʻoe?

Hoʻohālikelike mākou iā lākou ma ka lōʻihi, ka paʻakikī, ke kumukūʻai (me nā lilo nui), nā koho halihali ( nā mokulele / alanui / heli ), a me nā kau kūpono. Nānā pū mākou i nā pono / nā pōʻino, nā mea kūpono i kēlā me kēia (manawa, olakino, kālā, ʻike), a me ka palekana ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻe (nā hōʻailona AMS, ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana). Lawe ʻia nā ʻike āpau mai nā kumu mana e like me ka papa mākaʻikaʻi o Nepal a me nā alakaʻi lapaʻau ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻe.

Ka Huakaʻi Kahua Hoʻomoana ʻo Everest Kuʻuna (12–14 lā)

Ma hope o ke ala kaulana ʻo Lukla-Namche-Dingboche ka huakaʻi EBC maʻamau me ʻelua mau lā hoʻomaʻamaʻa i hoʻolālā ʻia. ʻO kahi huakaʻi maʻamau ma kahi o 12-14 mau lā (ʻaʻole e helu ana i nā mokulele a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​mea pale hōʻea). No ka laʻana, hoʻokahi huakaʻi maʻamau 14 lā e komo pū ana me:

• Nā lā 1: E lele ma Kathmandu–Lukla (2,840 m), e hele wāwae i Phakding (2,610 m).
• Nā lā 2: Phakding–Namche Bazaar (3,440 m) (6–7 hola).
• Nā lā 3: Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma Namche (hele wāwae i Everest View Hotel, 3,880 m, a hoʻi).
• Nā lā 4: Namche–Tengboche (3,860 m) (5–6 hola).
• Nā lā 5: Tengboche–Dingboche (4,410 m) (5–6 hola).
• Nā lā 6: Acclimatization ma Dingboche (ke piʻi koho, e laʻa me Nangkartshang Peak 5,083 m).
• Nā lā 7: Dingboche–Lobuche (4,910 m) (5–6 hola).
• Nā lā 8: ʻO Lobuche–Gorak Shep (5,190 m) a laila piʻi i Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) a hoʻi i Gorak Shep (8–9 hola).
• Nā lā 9: Piʻi i ka wanaʻao i Kala Patthar (5,545 m) no ka nānā ʻana i ka puka ʻana o ka lā, a laila iho i Pheriche (4,240 m) (7–8 hola).
• Nā lā 10: Pheriche–Namche (3,440 m) (7–8 hola).
• Nā lā 11: Namche–Lukla (2,840 m) (7–8 hola).
• Nā lā 12: E lele mai Lukla a i ʻole Kathmandu (35 min; a i ʻole e kalaiwa ma o Ramechhap a lele).
• Nā lā 13–14: Nā lā hoʻopaʻa / Kathmandu (e ʻae i ka lohi o nā mokulele).

He kūpono ka wikiwiki o kēia huakaʻi kuʻuna : he 5-7 mau hola ka lōʻihi o nā huakaʻi i kēlā me kēia lā, me ʻelua mau lā hoʻomaha/hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ke kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka piʻi mālie ʻana (ʻaʻole iʻoi aku ma mua o 300-500 m ka piʻi ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hiamoe i kēlā me kēia lā) e kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe. Noho nā mea hele wāwae i nā hale kī, e hauʻoli ana i ka moʻomeheu Sherpa a me nā ʻaha ma ke ala.

Ka Huakaʻi Pōkole ma ke Kahua Hoʻomoana ʻo Everest (9–11 lā)

Hoʻopili ka huakaʻi pōkole EBC i ke ala like i loko o kahi o 9-11 mau lā (trekking), maʻamau me kahi koho no ka puka helikopter e mālama i ka manawa. ʻO kahi huakaʻi hele he 10 lā (ʻaʻohe lā hoʻomaha keu) paha:

• Nā lā 1: E lele ma Kathmandu–Lukla, e hele wāwae i Phakding.
• Nā lā 2: Phakding–Namche (6–7 hola).
• Nā lā 3: Namche–Tengboche (6–7 hola).
• Nā lā 4:Tengboche–Dingboche (5–6 hola).
• Nā lā 5: Dingboche–Lobuche (5–6 hola).
• Nā lā 6: ʻO Lobuche–Gorak Shep (3 hola), a laila hele wāwae i Everest Base Camp a hoʻi i Gorak Shep (3–4 hola).
• Nā lā 7: Hiki mai ka lā ma Kala Patthar (5,545 m), iho ma Pheriche (4,200 m) a hiki i Pangboche (4,010 m) (7–8 mau hola).
• Nā lā 8: Pangboche–Namche (7–8 hola).
• Nā lā 9: Namche–Lukla (7–8 hola).
• Nā lā 10: Lele Lukla–Kathmandu (35 min).

Hoʻemi hou aku kekahi mau huakaʻi hele wāwae pōkole i nā lā huakaʻi ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā helikopter (no ka laʻana, ka lele pololei ʻana mai Gorak Shep a i ʻole Kala Patthar a i Lukla/Kathmandu) a i ʻole ma ka haʻalele ʻana i kahi lā hoʻomaha. Hāʻawi kekahi pūʻolo i 9 mau lā ma ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i kahi huakaʻi hele wāwae mai Gorak Shep. Nānā: ʻaʻohe lā hoʻomaha piha o ka huakaʻi pōkole, ʻo nā piʻi hoʻomaʻamaʻa wale nō (e laʻa i Everest View a i ʻole Nangkartshang ma ke ala) i hana ʻia ma ka lā hoʻokahi ma kahi o ka hiamoe keu. Hoʻolilo kēia i ka huakaʻi pōkole i mea paʻakikī . No ka laʻana, ua ʻōlelo kekahi mea hoʻokele ʻo ka huakaʻi pōkole "pono ​​​​i ka hele wāwae ikaika i kēlā me kēia lā" me ka "ʻaʻohe lā hoʻomaha lōʻihi".

Ke Alakaʻi Kiʻekiʻe a me ka Palekana no Everest Short Trek vs Classic Trek

Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana: Ke komo nei nā huakaʻi ʻelua i nā kiʻekiʻe >2,500 m (8,200 ft) kahi e hiki ai ke loaʻa ka maʻi mauna koʻikoʻi (AMS). Manaʻo nā loea (Wilderness Medical Society a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) ʻaʻole e ʻoi aku ma mua o 500 m/lā ka piʻi ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe ma luna o 3,000 m a e hoʻokomo i kahi lā hoʻomaha i kēlā me kēia 3-4 lā. ʻOi aku ka mālama ʻana o nā alakaʻi huakaʻi hele wāwae o Nepal: "ʻaʻole pono e ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hiamoe ma mua o 300-500 m i kēlā me kēia lā ma luna o 2,500 m," a pono e hoʻomaha kekahi ma hope o kēlā me kēia 1,000 m o ka piʻi ʻana.

Nā Hōʻailona AMS: ʻO nā hōʻailona mua o ka AMS e komo pū me ke poʻo ʻeha, ka nausea, ka nalowale o ka makemake, ka luhi, a i ʻole ka poniuniu. Inā ʻike ʻoe i kēia mau mea ma luna o 2,500 m, e hoʻōki i ka piʻi ʻana : e hoʻomaha, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe, a e kūkākūkā me kāu alakaʻi. E noʻonoʻo i nā lāʻau lapaʻau (e laʻa me ka acetazolamide) e like me ka ʻōlelo a ke kauka.

Loaʻa kēia mau mea ma Kathmandu a i ʻole ma ke ala (Lukla/Monjo). ʻO ka maʻamau, mālama nā keʻena i nā palapala ʻae nou. Pono ʻoe e uku i nā uku komo a lawe i kahi kiʻi nui o ka passport. (ʻAʻole pono hou nā kāleka TIMS no nā hele wāwae Everest.)

Q: Pehea ke kiʻekiʻe e piʻi ai au, a i ka manawa hea e hiki ai i ke kiʻekiʻe loa?
A: Hōʻea nā huakaʻi ʻelua i ke kahua hoʻomoana ʻo Everest ma 5,364 m, akā ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe loa Kala Patthar (5,545 m) kahi āu e nānā ai i ka puka ʻana o ka lā. Ma kahi huakaʻi pōkole, piʻi pinepine ʻoe iā Kala Patthar i ka lā huakaʻi hope loa a hoʻi mai ma ka heli. Ma kahi huakaʻi maʻamau, ʻo Kala Patthar ka lā 10 a i ʻole. I kēlā me kēia hihia, ʻo 5,545 m ka kiʻekiʻe loa o ka hiamoe/kipa ʻana.

Q: Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke pale aku i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe?
A: E pale i ka AMS ma ka piʻi mālie ʻana, e noho pono ana i ka wai, a mai hoʻoikaika nui i ke kiʻekiʻe. E ʻai i ka meaʻai kiʻekiʻe-carb a e noʻonoʻo i ka prophylactic acetazolamide inā ua loaʻa iā ʻoe nā pilikia ma mua. Mai hiamoe ma mua o 300-500 m ma luna o ke kiʻekiʻe o kou pō ma mua. Inā ʻike ʻoe i nā hōʻailona (ʻeha poʻo, nausea, dizziness) e hoʻōki i ka piʻi ʻana a hoʻomaha. Inā ʻoi aku ka ʻino o nā hōʻailona (ʻeha poʻo nui/luaʻi, ataxia, huikau), iho koke i laloʻO ka hoʻomaha ʻana e like me ka mea i hoʻonohonoho ʻia (ʻoi aku hoʻi ma ka huakaʻi maʻamau) e hōʻemi nui i ka pilikia.

H: Hiki iaʻu ke inu i ka wai piula ma ka ʻāpana ʻo Everest?
