Hi Richard, great video, thanks. May I ask some questions please: 1. Gloves: do the outer ones need to be waterproof? (can't seem to find waterproof ones in decathlon, only windproof ones). 2. Waterproof jacket: would a waterproof jacket (2-layered, rated '5000mm Schmerber') also be considered windproof by default ? --and if so, then I need not worry about getting a separate 'windproof' jacket to deal with purely windy days. 3. Did you actually manage to do any laundry? Would the number of items of clothing (underwear, socks, base layer tops/tees) be different if you didn't do any laundry throughout the 13-day trek? 4. Did you find carrying a solar panel effective? (I'm going in April, so not sure if it may be more cloudy and therefore less effective?). 5. Would you recommend packing body/hand warmers? I hope you will be able to answer at least some if not all my questions above. Many thanks! cheers! Glenn
@AsiaHikelopedia Жыл бұрын
1. Not really. I think windproof should be fine. 2. A waterproof jacket will be ok. 3. There are laundry services at Namche. It dries pretty quickly in the sun there. But take quick drying stuff just in case. Not really as you don't sweat too much anyway. 4. It worked well for me. But depends on the weather I guess. 5. Personal choice, but if you have thick gloves I don't think you need them.

I asked chatGPT what the temps are like, and here's the info: General Temperature Ranges: - Autumn (September to November): Daytime Temperatures: 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F) at lower altitudes. Nighttime Temperatures: -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F) at higher altitudes near Base Camp. - Winter (December to February): Daytime Temperatures: 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F) at lower altitudes. Nighttime Temperatures: -15°C to -20°C (5°F to -4°F) at higher altitudes near Base Camp. - Spring (March to May): Daytime Temperatures: 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F) at lower altitudes. Nighttime Temperatures: -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F) at higher altitudes near Base Camp. - Monsoon (June to August): Daytime Temperatures: 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F) at lower altitudes, but it’s usually not recommended to trek during this period due to heavy rainfall and slippery trails. I also asked what the best seasons to Trek EBC are, and in summary: 1) Spring & Autumn is the answer, because of better visibility, & clearer skies offering better views of the mountain ranges. 2) Moderate temperatures, (in my pov). 3) Spring: "blooming rhododendrons and other flora, especially in April and May" & Autumn: "The landscape is lush and green after the monsoon rains". 4) Vibrant, busy time of the year, tea houses are busy, but you'll have plenty of company along the way. p.s. I'm Indian, love the cold, and live in Canada but I vastly underestimated the prep involved for this trek. Most winters I'm in a t-shirt & unzipped jacket, and I only have a motorcycle so when the roads are dry & ash colored, I've gone motorcycling in as low as -29*C weather (10-15mins max for groceries). But I suppose there's a lot more planning and consideration I need to do for this, thank you for the video :).

I'm not sure which is the best time, but most Everest (summit) expeditions aim for end of May when change to monsoon gives a gap in weather. But Base camp is obviously not as tough. As for boots, I have no idea. Maybe to do with snow? Better to ask someone who recommends that.

If you hike with a porter, as many people do in Nepal, the porter will carry most of your gear in the duffel bag while you take your daily essentials in a day pack. While some hardcore hikers don't agree with this method it's very common in Nepal.
