We walked from Mount Kailash to Everest base camp across kashmiri that was a bit scary both due to the terrain and political then across the Anupunar Range to Everest and kala pattar then across to climbed Island peak and into Tibet took us 100 days i am still there even now in my thoughts ..My Daughter went on to serve in Afghan and the middle east ..she's now a teacher in India after getting her English Degree she loves the people and mostly the children so much .

Nice, but I would encourage people to make this trip on foot by trekking. If you are in reasonably good health you can do it. A guided trek costs the same including food and lodging. It is far more enriching experience as you get to meet real people and really see and experience the land. Trekking also spreads your money into the local economy in a healthier way that benefits many more people. A good compromise would be to helicopter up and trek down.

Great video, some really awe inspiring scenery. I'm watching this from about 1.7 miles (or a 7 minute drive) from where Sir George Everest's grave is. He was the Surveyor General of India from 1830 to 1843, and in 1865 the Royal Geographical Society renamed Peak XV, (at the time only recently identified as the world's highest peak), to Mount Everest in his honour. I believe the local name of the mountain is; "Chomolungma, Goddess Mother of the World".

[@geoffsoperss6718]

Thundering helicopter engines are at near maximum revs to create lift in the thin air & carry the maximum possible passenger loads. When they pass walkers, the unburnt jet-fuel fumes & exhaust smells fill the thin air of the valley & get trapped below valley cloud inversions. It's seriously unpleasant when you're gasping for oxygen in the thin air to get a few lung-fulls from each passing tourist helicopter. Many places along this trekking route are pristine wilderness, but when helicopters pass overhead, conversations in the valley often have to be halted & all wildlife filming must be reshot (though your wildlife has often bolted). It's normally hard to sleep in the thin air, but hundreds of sleep-deprived trackers get woken early by the first sun-rise tourist helicopter thundering low, over their corrugated-iron bedroom roof, just to give a better photo opportunity of each village. These valleys are so silent, that a single hand clap will often echo several times through several miles of still, thin, air. Likewise, engine noise echos back & forth off valley walls. You can see this pilot actually detouring off the direct route to base camp, to fly right next to the silent, car-free, villages. Its amazing to see the pilot deliberately flying so painfully low over the trekking path to EBC, at a height that could risk the pilot's licence in Europe or US. Could people considering this great looking quick-fix trip, take into account the noise & environmental damage they'll cause & consider taking the 10 day trek instead. Let's try to reserve these helicopter flights for emergency evacuations only.

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

The pilot flies close to terrain to make use of the termics. I agree with most of what you said. I decided to board the heicopter, because I got sick before Lobuche (not altitude related) and I wanted to see the "end of the road".

Unfortunately it is not anymore just one helicopter doing this but one after another after another. They destroy the quiet and magic calm in the mountains for the 99% of us doing the trek by foot. If you are a tourist, for the love of what is holy, please do yourself and everyone else a favor and only fly to Lukla or Namche, then go by foot. It will be an infinitely more awesome experience than being flown. It will be a week of trekking and afterwards you will laugh at the idea of taking a helicopter and missing the experience of the trek and feeling of accomplishment.

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

I was trekking too. But I cannot understand why then you would take a plane to Lukla? You should hike there too, it takes 4 days from the last bus stop. I agree with you that the helicopters are very annoying while trekking.

I don’t know what Nepalese aviation rules are but in the U. S. you would have all been required to wear and use oxygen on an unpressurized flight at those altitudes.

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

Yes, I know. I have an American ppl. Probably, the rules have been adapted to local realities, but I don'tknow for sure. I asked the pilot if they experience altitude related problems with passengers (I was acclimatized, but the others were not) and he said that the duration passengers stay at above 4000m is short and they don't have problems. Despite that, there was an oxygen bottle for emergencies in the helicopter. Also, note that the company I flew with dropped all passengers at Pherice. From there, they took us 2-by-2. Flying to the base camp took less than 10 minutes, and we were given just 5 minutes on the ground to take photos before frying back again.

I'd be satisfied just to go to base camp and admire the scene from a distance. Awesome video. God bless the pilots and the climbers.

How long does it take to hike to Basecamp?

[@MrButtonpresser]

John Schweinberg: Back in the day we walked from Jiri. It took 3 weeks to walk to Kala Patthar and back down to Lukla. Above Lukla, it takes anywhere from 3 to 5 days. Less for those travelling light. Even Lukla has changed a lot. There was no paved apron, everything was dirt, chickens and kids running about.

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

I think Gorak Shep is still "the end of the world". The lowest comfort, the highes prices and the coldest place to stay.

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

Here are my hiking segments: Lukla to Namche Bazaar normally takes 2 days 1 extra day in Namche for acclimatization 1 day Namche to Pangboche (the last place with electricity where cell phones work) 1 day to Dingboche 4410m 1 day acclinatization at Dingboche, clim up the mountain on the north side up to 5100m 1 day Dingboche to Lobuche 1 day Lobuche to Gorak Shep to base camp 1 day at Gorak Shep climbing Kala Pathar (5500+ m). Return to Lobuche in the afternoon. 1 day Lobuche-Namche Bazaar (very hard in 1 day, but doable) 1 day Namche Bazaar to Lukla. This is also very hard, it took me 9+ hours. So I needed 11 days, but this is on the short side. If I ever go again I would add more days.

For all of us who cannot contemplate reaching this mountain, your video is such an awe-inspiring view into the world of this ridiculous / extreme challenge. Not for any but the most experienced and prepared. Hats off to Mallory and Irving and all their support/sherpa team to be of the first to have a real crack at the entire thing, after a long long walk to get there, pre-helicopters.

that is the Khumbu Icefall. It drops 600 meters.

100% awesome👍

I have been here twice .

Amazing journey... Great views. Thanks for sharing....

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

Thank you very much!

[@ljprep6250]

Stark natural beauty. I can't imagine walking up all that just to get to Everest, and then climbing it. Kudos to the extreme adventurists who do so.

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

Glad you liked the video.

[@Grandizer8989]

It’s not too bad. They get a warm meal and sleep in a tea house on the way up. K2 is a whole other story...

@@Grandizer8989 enroute base camp, yes. Summiting however is a very different animal. I went to EBC in 2013 and any thoughts I had of attempting to summit Everest went away permanently :-)

[@Grandizer8989]

@@shane54nz that’s awesome. Thinking about doing that

A quick trip up by helicopter, just like a trip to McDonalds, no effort needed just money. HMMM, something is really missing here.

[@1copperfly]

@Pete is never wrong Well Sir, I don't actually believe people should be allowed for anything except the dire reason, to take a helicopter ride in a pristine natural area. Sometiimes we just don't need to do something just because we can.

[@1copperfly]

@Pete is never wrong I see you have never been to Nepal. The answer of course is yes, goods are delivered by yak and porter. In effect everything is moved by yak.

[@dorsetdumpling5387]

Pete is never wrong your arrogance is staggering. How did the Nepalese ever manage before we ‘saved’ them with our technology?

[@IsegrimSTP]

Breathtaking!!! Amazing!!!

You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it

Do they have helicopter flights that fly up to and over mt Everest !

[@bojcio]

Probably not. The air is too thin up there.

[@Fridu54]

No, they cannot fly higher than about 6‘000 meters, they also cannot do evacuations if people climbing Mt. Everest are in troubles.

[@NewAdventuresChannel]

No, they don't. But there is a Commercial from Airbus of a test flight which lands on Everest. If you didn't see it here is the link:kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYmxiYaso6ingaM

[@apell5587]

@@NewAdventuresChannel thank you Mr Saban. I never see anything like that in my country. Canada. Where i live in Quebec City there is small moutain. You make me feel like i where in Nepal with your helicopter. You are a good driver. As good as the one who land on everest. Thats my feeling. Take care. 👏

[@jamesdio3835]

Michael Tarasenkoop they cant fly over month Everest as it has a very big cock in the way

[@holgermuller769]

Wunderbar ... schön fliegen vom Schreibtisch

Danke

[@hamiltonski]

If you are real lazy bastard or in a wheelchair you can drive a car to Everest Basecamp on the TIbet side ( China ) and get what I consider a FULL view of Mount Everest - I nearly passed out it was so beautiful !

[@steveeb9567]

What's it cost ?

[@hamiltonski]

steveeb in 2010 I caught the high altitude train from Chengdu in China up to Lhasa in Tibet and picked up a tour of 3 people in a Toyota Landcruiser ( you can’t travel outside Lhasa without some tour arrangement ) and we travelled through to Mount Everest Basecamp #1 where we stayed and I was able to walk with our guide up to Basecamp #2- bloody hard walk after sitting in a car and not really adjusting to the 5000 metre altitude-- anyhow got up to a Chinese military checkpost to check our paperwork and I was able to proceed up a small hill to get a full view of Mount Everest - I mean a full view of the whole mountain-- after leaving we travelled on towards the Nepalese border with TIbet and parted company with the Landcruiser and crossed the border and changed our watches by 3 hours - we got a bus to Kathmandu -- I am not sure you can cross this border anymore after the massive earthquake a few years ago that blocked the road - fantastic trip and from that viewing hill I could see many tents from the climbing groups climbing Mount Everest -- i have also trekked to Basecamp on the Nepal side !-- can’t remember what it cost up but it was not super expensive

[@Bharat-Bhartiya]

U r lazy bastard

[@hamiltonski]

India One I have trekked to EBC in Nepal via Gokyo Valley and over Cho la pass so I don’t call that lazy -- I have cycled across Australia which is also not lazy and many other trips including hitch hiking up the full length of the African continent - anyhow thinking seriously of doing the Gokyo trek again at 68 !

[@ach557]

Unimaginable sights of the great Himalyas, with its valleys, lakes and glaciers !! This is a once in a lifetime dream flight, albeit risky one, that i would have loved to take to the base camp of the mighty "Sagarmatha", if I am lucky enough. Wonder how much the helicopter ride will cost. 🙏🌹
