Mt Agung is one of Indonesia active volcano. You can hike there. Kawah gunung agung is huge

Thanks :) I find it a joy capturing the essence of the places most likely and unlikely visited by other travellers.

Snow develops when temperature drops below 0°C or 32°F and when it is humid. When the air gets warmer, it will begin to melt. As for the peak of Mt Everest, there is always volume of snow. However, it is thinning because of few factors including climate changes and drifting snow. If you watch closely this video, you may be able to see something like white "dust" moving away from the mountain. Watch my video "Everest & Himalayas helicopter close-up Part 3 Kala Patthar & Hotel Everest View" and you will see snow drifting from Everest peak. Drifting snow (powder snow) caused by the wind. It can also be termed as snow blizzard. Some mountains have no snow is because of the angle and topology of the mountain. Jagged and high angle slope retain less snow. Another example during the Everest earthquake, an avalanche occurs starting from Mt. Pumori which bring down the snow all the way to Everest Base Camp that caused tragic loss of life. Lower elevated mountains snow will melt during summer.

@@ZakTravelVLog oh. Thanks

Was worth it

It was my third visit. There are many beaches yet to explore.

It is truly amazing and breathtaking. Hopefully the authorities there maintain a "controlled" tourism.

Get to see close view of the Base Camp dah awesome

The helicopter tour starts from Kathmandu airport. It takes 30-40 minutes to reach Lukla airport

Typically, max of 5, about $2,000 per passenger, 5-hours tour. There are larger heli, cheaper price. I was in Kathmandu for a week, went to a local travel agent because I wouldn't go for more than 3 passengers. I want a window seat. I have to wait 2 days before I got it and pay more. Landing at Kala Patthar is a must. As a seasoned traveller, I avoid buying tours online. I prefer to know where I would be going and a tour guide that I am comfortable with. A word of advice, bring along a good videocam instead of handphone and take 4K videos. Ensure your memory card and battery is sufficient to take 3-4 hours video. Also your tour can be cancel due to bad weather or when there is a rescue mission.

@@ZakTravelVLog Thank you so much for the info. 😎

Yup. Imagine the height of Mt Everest is 10x the height of Burj Khalifa. Imagine in and around Khumbu valley there are over 30 mountains, 13 of them is over 6,000m. Some of the mountains are behind other mountains. From Lukla to Everest Base Camp which is 50km, you can view mountains after mountains, left, right, and front.

On the hindsight, the drone will have the experience, not you. Sure, drone would be awesome IF one has something like $30,000 to S100,000; seasoned mountaineer in good health and has the time to hike Everest or any of the other surrounding mountains. Subscribe to my channel then I can buy expensive drones 😊 Flying drone is regulated. Many countries (point of entry) impose permit requirement when bringing drone. Nepal impose permit at every municipality you intend to fly the drone. DJI Mavic 3 combo ($4,500) can fly 30km (Lukla airport to Everest is at least 80km return). A 1TB SDXC card ($350) storage 3+ hours 4K 60 fps but battery can last 1.5 hours. No punt intended; this is not the channel to be opinionated on political agenda.

Bahaha a polluted engine... stfu

who cares...

Thx. My bad on mispronunciation. The entire Everest journey - Kathmandu to Lukla airport to Kala Phattar landing then heading north to EBC before turning south to Pheriche landing. Then to Hotel Everest View to Lukla airport to Kathmandu. On flight is slightly over 4 hours whilst on land at Lukla, Kala Phattar, Pheriche and Hotel Everest View is slightly over 1 hour. We encountered a bit of turbulence, which is expected. Part 3 would be the view of Everest and there is also another bonus part - WIP.

How long staying at ebc

It will only pass EBC. There is the EBC at the lowest level and then EBC 1-4. I don't think they allow to land. It is meant for hikers. I watch all the Everest Rescue TV series that came out in 2017-18 and I never heard tour can land at EBC.

Thanks for the kind words. UK is always a fun place to explore and get to know.

The helicopter private tour I booked was 5-6 hours stopover at Lukla, Periche, Kala Patthar and breakfast at Hotel Everest View. About 4.5 hours on-board minus the 90 minutes stopovers. There are other variations and price ranges. Check it out with any tour operator websites for bookings.

Thx. Part 2 within next 24 hours while Part 3 is still WIP. I am a "one-man show" part-time editing zoom close-up and narrating for a better video experience of Everest and the Himalayas.

Yup, somewhat quiet over the weekend

Yup, it is always picturesque to visit from October to March.

🤦‍♂️

glad to know you have enjoyed it

Wow. Thanks for bringing it up. I was comparing Guy Rosbrook's footage angle and my video, it is highly likely that my video was shot on the same floor. I will need to check with hotel receipt, if I still keep it 🤞 (usually I do) whether it's the same room. What is the odd of this to happen be .....

@@ZakTravelVLogGuy and Tammy occupied either 3505, 3506, or 3507

thanks for the comment and duely noted

Thanks. Stay fit

a few more travel in malaysia videos over the many years would be coming out soon.

Pantai ini agak tersembunyi. You can see Pulau Redang and I believe Pulau Perhentian.

Glad the video makes your day. London is the most visited city I've been to, 7 times (3 christmas) and this is the first time I stayed at and around Chelsea.Cheers!

thanks for your opinion

it was really fun and convenient riding tuktuk while shooting a video.

I wouldn't mind living here

shout out to @Siawosham

living 6 months downtown manhattan bro.... 😎

It surprises me to see such laid-back. I hope the peaceful and un-spoilt remains as it for many-many years to come.

The services, rooms, facilities and food was spot-on. Traditional architecture. Somewhat pricey but was worth it. I booked 4 villas and a room at the lower deck swimming pool. All were great however the swimming pool room was a bit "loud" due to close proximity to the pool. They kept the beach very clean.

Glad you enjoyed it. Oxford is a pleasantly surprised city to visit. I made last minute changes and did not regret it.

You are welcome to place the link here

Glad you enjoy it

Glad you like it. Due to the short visit, I was unable to take River Danube cruise.

Glad you enjoy the video. There would be more coming soon

Glad you like it. I enjoyed doing it too

Thanks. I fell in love with Prague, the architecture, the people are welcoming, the food. I am planning to visit again for a longer period. Poland is in my list too.

Glad you enjoyed it

Will consider in future ....

One hour give and take to cross the English Channel. Worth taking it :)
