EVEREST BASE CAMP Everything in 10 minutes (Guide)

This September/October I did one of my favourite trips to date, Everest Base Camp. It was an experience of a lifetime. I've made this short and sweet guide to help anyone who is thinking of or has booked Everest Base Camp. Firstly I couldn't recommend it enough and secondly leave any questions in the comments and I'll answer them all. The culture, the scenery and the sense of achievement from this trip is why so many people have it on their bucket list. From starting in Kathmandu, to places like Lukla, Namche Bazaar, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorak Shep to EBC itself meant I saw some of the most spectacular landscapes I'll ever see and maybe the heighest altitude I'll get too, and I'd like to tell you that its something you HAVE to do if your interested!
Thanks for watching, I'd really appreciate any feedback and if you could leave a like and Subscribe, it helps me out massively.

Incredibly well explained! Thanks. Great video :) Good tip about the 28-70mm lens. I have a full frame camera, so this will be quite wide - but did you ever feel like needing a wide angled lens at any point? like a 11mm-ish lens?

[@steffmorris]

Thank you my friend, I had a 16-35 and I found that more than wide enough for me, if you do have an 11mm prime star photos will be epic but not a needed lens in my opinion, hope that helps

[@stewartboyd3128]

Nice video. I would add metrodizinole antibiotic for things like Gardia and bugs in the tummy. Also pick up some sleeping tabs as sleeping at altitude can be tricky. Ive never been in high season as cant face the crowds, went last xmas, nobody there, fecking cold at night, -10 in the room but the weather was clear most of the time, took the lukla flight out after a snowy evening, was awesome. Oh yes a bonus tip, take an umbrella so you can trek without a rain jacket, that sweatville

[@steffmorris]

Awsome advice thank you Stewart, I’d love to see the Himalayas in winter time!

[@sarahmacaulay4859]

Hi! Great video, super informative and helpful. I read online that you need to have climbed a mountain in Nepal/have previously climbed to a certain height prior to climbing the Mount Everest, but I don’t know if they were referring to base camp or climbing high up Everest. Do you know if there are any requirements like that or is it just general fitness?

[@steffmorris]

Thanks for watching Sarah, no I didnt experience anything like that and as far as Im aware there aren’t any requirements for base camp, for context in the UK the highest point we have is 1300m and thats the highest I’d hiked before doing this, being relatively fit will help though

[@GR-bn3xj]

Thank you, I will never be attempting to climb Mount Everest but I found it fascinating. I've always wondered what it's like for the climbers who try and this is a good video to give me an idea of what it's like

[@steffmorris]

Thank you for watching, what’s remarkable is that this is just the base camp and some people actually climb to the top😳

[@GR-bn3xj]

@@steffmorris I just watched a story about people who made a whole journey of just getting the base camp. So apparently Basecamp is a destination as well? The environment is truly amazing, And it was a 2-hour documentary. It showed how the shops got smaller and smaller and the prices got higher on the way to Basecamp and the higher you went. Everything you said was true, just in a much more condensed version. It was amazing to see how you could walk for 3 hours and then a village would pop out of nowhere, full of life and people. The friendliness of everyone was also apparent. I've always wanted to know what people would want to do it and the videos probably don't do it justice but at least give me a good idea why

[@steffmorris]

@@edinaexplores so charging and shower costs increase the further up you go, charging was around 3usd for full charge in the lower regions and up to 5usd per charge for an hour higher up that’s why a power bank is really handy, the same for showers however I was advised not to shower past Dingboche as getting cold means an increase risk to getting ill high up, hope this helps😀

Hi Charlee, so there are many toilets in the teahouses (take toilet paper though) but yes going wild is very common everyone does it, and I took 2 litres with me I would top them up each time we stopped for food and each morning (our guide would tell us where to get the water) with purification tablets dropped in, hope this helps hope you havw a great time😀

[@karipintakivi9153]

4:50 : acclimatisation causes one to loose more water than usual through increased urination and that must be replaced. It is only 1 to 1.5 liters per day extra. Drinking a lot of water does not speed or help acclimatisation process, that is a common misunderstanding. So drinking when thirsty is enough.

Good to know. I would hate to have to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes after all that water.

Hi, What kind of hiking pants (brand) did you wear? I'll go in March, should I bring light weight trousers or heavy weight pants? Thanks

[@steffmorris]

Hi I had two pairs of lightweight craighoppers (one for evenings/one for hiking) they were fine for me but depends on weather also

This video was everything I wanted to know in short format. What were the totals cost for you, excluding the flight to Kathmandu from UK and additional gear. How much did you spend in total on tips, food, guided group, flight from Kathmandu to Lukla etc.?

[@steffmorris]

Hi Mate, thanks for watching, so our tour included the flights to Lukla, and it was around £950, then around £300/£400 on spending money for food etc, tips were 3$ per person per day for each of our guides, I hope this helps 😀

I’ve done this trip and doing it again next year. It cost around £1200 for the trip and flights were around £800 return. That includes all meals while there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpeooXqZnq2ZqdE

Please...the trek does NOT start in Lukla. You might want to add that little piece. There is a beautiful classic trail starting from the start...Jiri.

Hello! What back pack did you use?

[@steffmorris]

Hi Opsrey talon 33l but probably a smaller day pack would be fine without camera gear😀

[@steffmorris]
