Wow, what a great video. I’m planning to do the 3 passes this autumn so have watched a few videos. This is by far the most informative and professional one I’ve seen. Thanks very much for your work.

I loved watching this video, being 68 years old, it's not something I can do now so it's lovely seeing you two doing it. I stick to Scotland now, which is how I came to find you. I watched the Scottish videos you did a few years ago. Brilliant. ❤

Thank you so much for all your work in putting such a comprehensive and practical guide together! I will be doing this trek in November and your information is so useful! I saw on your website that you use a couple of different backpacks. Can you tell me which backpacks you're using on this specific trek, or what capacity in litres? Thank you!

Hi Jackie, thanks for the appreciation! So on this trek I (Del) used the Osprey Talon 44L and Kim used the Osprey Mira 22L. We also had a duffel bag carried by a porter. My bag was still quite big because of camera gear and such like, but even so I had room to spare. On other treks in Nepal we’ve carried everything ourselves and used a 70L and 50L backpack. Will you be trekking with a porter or carrying all your own gear?

Great video, very well explained with all d required details.I have a question, how to book flight to Lukla. Do we need to goto Ramechap n book or can it be done online for April2024, I donot see anything on Skyscanner etc..

@GoingTheWholeHogg 6 ай бұрын

Hi there, thanks for the appreciation. No, you don’t need to go to Ramechap, but neither can you book on Skyscanner. You can book on the actual airline websites (Summit Air, Tara, etc.) or through an agency in Kathmandu (you can find many just wandering through Thamel). Hope that helps 🙂

Such a helpful and good Video. Thanks for sharing all the details with us. 👍🏻🙏🏻 We will also be on Gokyo+EBC trek in April and we are wondering about the night temperatures in the tea houses. Any number on this you can also share? Thanks a lot ☺️

@GoingTheWholeHogg 7 ай бұрын

Hey, really glad you found it helpful. About night temperatures it’s hard to say definitively, but going by the various apps we were using, temps at Gokyo were getting down to about -10°C through the night in mid April. Of course, this year might be warmer as worldwide temperatures are on the rise, especially while El Niño lasts. Gorak Shep was not quite as cold for us I think, we more had issues with waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air. Anyway, hope that gives you a rough idea. Make sure you have a warm sleeping bag, good thermals to sleep in, and pull the available blankets over your bag… that always kept us nice and toasty 🙂

I'm off on the 3 Passes Trek with my best mate at the end of October this year. Very much looking forward to it, but also a bit apprehensive with the high elevation. We'll see how we go. Your video is just amazing! The amount of detailed information on this particular hike that you guys have supplied is immense. I liked your relaxed style of presenting as well. Well done & much appreciated.

I love your videos. It will be good if you could put some commentary on other videos. So they are more interesting.

@GoingTheWholeHogg 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! We like to make our hiking videos relaxing and immersive for the viewer, letting the scenery do the talking instead of us. Commentary over those films would change the nature of them, and we prefer not to do this. But we do like to share as much practical info as possible with our viewers to help them get out there and do the trek for themselves too, which is why we write very detailed guides on our blog to accompany our films, and also made this detailed video guide. We feel this is a good compromise, but we recognise that we can't please everyone! Thanks for watching and for your feedback : ) Kim
