[@cohall46]

Suggestion about bringing 2 pillow cases is a good one - just might prevent getting head lice. LOL How effective were the solar panels that were attached to the back of your backpack? Very impressed with the clothing that you chose to make the trek.

[@jinsjewelry]

Thank you for your kind comments, Chuck :) Solar panel worked great. Like I mentioned in video, there were outlets in the lodges but most of them didn't work.

[@nilofarbawa2377]

Thank you for this beautiful and concise video I find very interesting and useful. We are leaving next month on this same journey. Is there anything you wish you knew before heading out on the trek? What did you find the most difficult part of the journey and one advice you’d give your followers?

[@jinsjewelry]

Hi, Nilofar Thank you for your kind comments. You might say this sounds funny but buy enough toilet paper for the entire trekking in low elevation. ( or bring it from your own counrty) when u have to spend $5 for a very low quality small roll, you will understand what I mean ;) And try to avoid any unfiltered water or tea. I bought bottled water yet still got sick :( It wasn't a pleasant experience. Exchange money before traveling is a smart idea, too. If you exchange it through your guide or at hotel, your dollar looses its value about 20-30% And one last thing, walk slow. This schedule made to focus on getting used to the altitude. You don't need to rush. Just enjoy the scenery 😉 Best of luck to you and Happy trails 👣 😊

[@mehoolsheth]

[@ottaromarsson8]

Great video!! Do you think you could do the treck without a guide?

[@jinsjewelry]

Now that I am looking back, you could definitely do it without a guide. If you could make a reservations in lodges and be able to get the permits of your own 😉

[@ottaromarsson8]

Thanks!!

[@mgmartin51]

I think about the guy in Jaws who says to Hooper “Say, you’re not going out with those nuts, are ya?”

[@maverickcorner]

This is amazing, did you train for the hike? And what was the oxygen like as you climbed the altitude

[@jinsjewelry]

Actually, i didn't train for the hike since I climb often for high sierra mountains . You could probably do it if you have an experience over 13000ft

[@bobmarley6161]

Absolutely stunning... The scenery is unbelievable like heaven.... Do you have to book rooms in the lodges before you go....

[@jinsjewelry]

Hi, Bob We hired guides and porters. Our main guide took care of all the reservations including airport pick up and drop off , tickets to lukla and back.

[@bobmarley6161]

@@jinsjewelry hello... Thank you kindly for your help.. I think I'm going to book through a travel guide company who will plan and guide me up there... Happy new year to you and your family.....

[@aLbEnjoy89]

Great video :) Are you sure at 5:05 is Mount.Everest?

[@jinsjewelry]

Hmmmm I will double check that. My guide said that was the Everest but no that I am looking at the shape of the mountains, that might be wrong. Thank you for pointing that out. I just finished my Torres Del Paine - Patagonia 7 nights 8 days trekking. Video will be up soon :)

[@Tommykey07]

Another tip. Sit on left side of the plane to Lukla for best view of Himalayas

[@jinsjewelry]

Good call!!

[@zurg393]

heya, should you bring a hiking backpack or just a normal sized bag? any tips for shoes?

[@jinsjewelry]

Yes! Day pack ( around 30 litter ) should be fine. And for the shoes, my team wore alpine hiking shoes but not necessary. You won't step on that much snow during trekking. Happy trails :)

Hii I am from India . Love to see this journey. what is the procedure to go up to base camp??

[@jinsjewelry]

People usually go in groups guided by th local sherpas and porters. You need to book at least 3 month before your desired trip days. My sherpa said April to May is the best time to go but also the most crowded. Happy trails 👣

[@joyeslugun4008]

@@jinsjewelry How can I get the contact of local sherpa?

[@magnificenthimalayantreks]

Plan and prepare your trek, get permits. Fly to Lukla from Kathmandu. Start trekking, pass through villages and bridges. Take acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. Reach Everest Base Camp and explore. Hike to Kala Patthar for stunning views. Descend back to Lukla. Fly back to Kathmandu.

Go in Nov and take the longer/harder router via Gokyo Lakes and across Chola Pass back to Labouche. That significantly reduces the number of people.
