I did this trek 7 years ago at the age of 60 with entrepid. The views were amazing. I never took diamox and was fine. I had never trekked anywhere so this was a new experience for me.

@@kurjan1 I did go to the gym 2 or 3 months in advance of going. I did the trek in May and my home has severe winters so I could do no walking or hiking before. After doing the trek I wished I had just focused on cardio. Walking up many flights of steps or using a stair climber.

This is encouraging. I am 59 now but looking at doing the trek at age 61 or 62. I'm pretty confident as I've done plenty of hiking uphill, including rough tracks on (small) mountains, play tennis and cycle for several hours, and average a bit over 20,000 steps a day. I assume most others in your group would have been young people. Was this awkward at all?

@@Sproogle777 actually there was 1 close to 50 and 3 others in their 60s. Rest were 40 and under and a couple around 20. 2 got sick with cold, 1 suffered it out and the other took a helicopter back to lukla. I did get sick with diarrhea and throwing up the first night had to stay back because I was still sick the next morning. I continued the trek the following day. I did catch up to my group when they did an acclimation day but after being so sick the guide made me stay back a second day so I took a different route and caught up again and skipped the second acclimation day in order to finish trek with group. Met several people who had to turn back due to altitude sickness. My guide was very surprised I was able to complete the trek due to the fact I had no trekking experience.

General rule is people walking downhill give way to people walking uphill. Never walk on the "falling off" side of the trails when yaks/Urangs are passing. Always walk on the uphill side of the trail, then you cant get pushed off.

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.

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

Hello sir, I would say make sure your level of fitness is reasonable, there is no ‘mountain’ experience really needed if you have a guide, just bare in mind being used to trekking may help in terms of fitness going up steep inclines

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

Thanks for your tips! I’m thinking of doing the trek with Intrepid next April. The only thing I’m really concerned is the AMS… if I drink 4l of water a day, I’ll just spend the whole day on toilet 😂😂😂
@steffmorris
@steffmorris Жыл бұрын
Just drink as much as you need to, maybe take diamox if you’re really concerned or buy some out there, but with the duration of the trip there’s plenty of time for your body to adapt, and also if you do get AMS intrepid will have many strategies to help you overcome it, thanks for watching 😀

Thankyou for watching you’ll have an amazing time, so the whole route up and back was around 150km I think so hopefully that gives you an indication how many steps it will be, as for the minimum cost I cannot say as there are so many different tour operators im sorry, hope you enjoy!

Going without constant WiFi! So how do I update my insta?! Now don’t tell me you are also supposed to hike without speakers blasting your favorite playlist! 😮 Call me old-school, but I prefer it like that. 😂 Great, very informative video! Tour impressions are nice to watch, but most of the time they don’t even tell which month of the year they went.

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
@steffmorris Жыл бұрын
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

Hi Steff. Great video, thank you! I'm booked to go in October and this video has really helped me manage expectations etc. Really random question, do people just "wild wee" while trekking? Assuming there aren't toilets in between tea houses? More mindful as it's tricker for women 🤣 and did you take 4 litres with you in your bag for the whole day( filled up from tea house) Or top up during the day? Thanks! Charlee
@steffmorris
@steffmorris Жыл бұрын
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😀

Hi Steff. My daiy is obsessed with Everest, so shes decided to gobto base camp asap. Am i right in thinking that base camp will not give you a view of Everest If not then wheres the best/easiest place to view Everest without having to climb a mountain because ahe is definitely not a climber?

Amazing you’ll have a brilliant time, the trail can be very rocky especially towards the end, if you need more support maybe boots will be a safer option, you don’t want an injury on the way up and have to turn back, hope this helps😀
