So to get to Everest Base Camp you start in Lukla. The normal duration of a trip is around 2 weeks, and the maximum altitude is 5555 meters. You will have to walk mostly uphill for the first half and takes 4-5 hours per day. You should be in moderately good shape and have a good attitude. Food and lodging is available in all towns. Internet and electricity are only available in the larger towns. Word to the wise have more money than you expect to spend or go with an all inclusive service like ours at www.rocksolidtrek.com because there are no ATM's and Western Union only operates in Lukla. Beware have extra time at the end, cloud cover can prevent you from leaving the airport.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
