Congratulations Laurent Berthod.
This is one of the most impressive hiking adventures in history.
Laurent Berthod spent 95 days hiking from Leh in India to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. The Canadian set out in October 2023. By January 2024, he had walked 2,600km, climbed 115,000m of elevation, and crossed 75 mountain passes. …
