Here are my little research on mount Everest base camp
Base Camp
-> 5400 m / 17700 ft.
Yes! I found the height of it :D So girls remember it isn’t 5540, 5455(whatever number ok!)

"Base Camp is like a Formula One car racing depot. Satellite phones buzz in international tents as the worlds languages mix in thrilling accounts of the latest. Journalists, families and climbers exchange news and emotions between the mountain and the world. For no alpine peak fires imagination like Mount Everest.
You handle the latest tech gear, but wash your clothes in frozen lakes, where you crush the ice and work quickly before it freezes over again. Drying up, the damp clothes freeze into strange ice formations at night. The same happens to your wet hair. And your toothpaste. You finish your meal quickly for it immediately cools on your plate. You eat buffalo meat. It´s fresh until it starts to smell. Then you wait. After a few weeks the odour vanish. At that point your BC sherpa-cook start to include it in your diet again, as a very special buffalo jerky.
You listen to the frequent avalanches coming down Nuptse, Lho La and Pumori. You throw silent glances at the icefall and listen as it collapses with a horrendous crash. Base Camp is a place of hope, fear, frustration, conflicts and life-long friendships. Some climbers will experience their dream fulfilled, others will have to return home with an unfinished task. You´ll look around you and try to guess. But only destiny will know which fate is to be yours."


As we are only climbing the base camp so I only took that small little part (DON’T BELITTLE US) even though it’s only the base but we’ll need to put in a lot of effort to conquer it ok! But anyway if you are interested to know more about the whole route you check out the web below.
