[@Xo1ot1]

I love the way you are making videos. They are equally cinematic and personal at the same time. I can fully immerse myself into imagining being there.

[@cinefx3103]

That was epic moments of them

[@mkrmmd1162]

I see you using your hands on your thigh's pushing off to aid your legs but why not use walking (aid) sticks instead? When I see people without them I always think but why to my self. You avoid leg cramps and have better balance - its a win-win with no negatives apart from the small extra weight (its worth its weight)

[@MikeArroyoMAFITNESS]

How did you get your drone into Nepal?

[@stowgood]

@@mkrmmd1162 he uses them sometimes

[@TheNewTravel]

That drone intro could be a standalone video... The whole thing was epic, but that first 5mins... woah dude

[@karenburman6787]

Haha! Epic but literally fast forwarded through the intro. Way more interested in the hikers perspective

[@felice9907]

i totally agree! one question to all: what could that strange giant figure be, on the central mountain top at min01:56?? it doesn´t really look like a cloud ... .

Remember me? I already told you visit Nepal.

[@speedgull2612]

Wow, that is a fantastic story. I did this trek in 1987 and I’m blown away how developed that region is now. They didn’t have electricity back then and glass windows were rare! Luka Air strip was unsealed and basically just a dirt strip. For the planes that didn’t make it they dragged them to the side of the strip. Very confronting when waiting your turn to fly out. Good to see the locals are benefiting from the tourism dollars. Those mountains, how special was it to walk amongst them, very humbling. Thanks again for creating the content.

[@viniciusyeungyvn]

the biggest reason why never stop loving his video is simply because he is not the main character here. Those giants, the mother nature are the main characters, he is just a man passing by. I LOVE IT

[@sanjutamang4622]

21:59 the conversation was like red hoodie guy called his freind *pussy* (muji) the other guy was like it's recording, why you cursing then the next guy was like, he(Kraig) wouldn't understand then he replied nepalese people are also gonna watch it HAHA fun stuff thanks for the video Kraing Hope you enjoyed the stay & hope you return soon, Nepal has lots to offer that you could showcase to the world.

I've been following this trip on your Instagram for a while. The contrast between you fooling around with other well-known travelers on your Instagram stories and this cinematic masterpiece of a video is almost hilarious!

[@vixtorocha]

as someone who lives in a place as flat as it gets, I'm often in awe with such amazing sceneries

[@person.X.]

I imagine it isn't easy to get to Nepal to trek at the moment because of Covid. Looked like a great time to go though as no crowds. Very enjoyable video. Nepal is in a class of its own.

I think we need a separate video only for the dogs you met. The visuals you bring are overwhelmingly soothing.

[@kraigadams]

[@ironfistarrival]

He likes to caress the Dogs I guess , not the Girls yet !

[@paulybarr]

@@ironfistarrival I think you'll find that caressing girls on a hike is not viewed as appropriate. If you're referring though ( and for some odd reason) to his private life, he has a 'girl' back home- we've seen her in a previous video. And I'm sure Kraig has permission to caress her.

[@BicheBug1996]

​@@kraigadams Now seeing this 2 years after how did you get drone into thw Everest Park i thought Drones werent allowed into tye Everest Trek

[@star42]

Thank you Kraig for a trip down memory lane. And they are very very fond memories indeed. I reached the EBC back in 2012, and have been itching to head back there. I have yet to relive the peace and tranquility I'd experienced whilst trekking the Nepalese mountainside; there is indeed a strong spirituality that one cannot help but feel enveloped by. I miss Nepal so much. On another note kudos to you for having enough gas to keep going back and forth to place your camera, get the shot, then go back to retrieve the camera. Especially at altitude above 4000m, where every step takes so much efforts. 😫

[@mentalmelt]

He's barely carrying anything though. Takes a lot more effort to carry your own stuff that to walk a bit back and forth with a camera.

[@star42]

@@mentalmelt You obviously have not experienced any significant altitude have you?

For a Nepali who hasn't had a chance to take (basically) any trip in these kinda places in Nepal because of family responsibilities and duty calls abroad, this is like an early Christmas gift! Almost teared up watching those drone footage in the beginning. I absolutely loved your video of Mardi Himal trek and thoroughly enjoyed this one as well! Your silent videos are unparalleled. Cannot wait for another video where you discuss the cost, preparation guidance, and cool background stories of this trek.

[@shubhambharti3536]

It's not just vlog, It's piece of art. The efforts this guy puts to take every shot like placing the tripod then climbing up then again climbing down to take the camera back just for a single shot is incredible. The best part about this video is that it has no music in it but pure surrounding sound. The sound transition in every shot is just next level. The major thing that makes him different from other vloggers is that he makes vlogs about the place not him acting like a tourist, he was in the moment and didn't even care about taking a picture with the base camp stone that he tracked miles for he was insted enjoying the view alone. Love and Respect from India🇮🇳

[@katrinhalookca]

What I enjoy most about your videos is how immersive they are. Your storytelling is very personal, I feel as if I'm there hiking with you. Thank you for providing this exhilarating experience. Also, you got super lucky with the weather and the clear shots of the mountains! Absolutely stunningly breathtakingly spectacular. I'm blown away by the beauty and how respectfully you've captured it.

[@TravisHuber]

This is probably your best video yet, Kraig. Simply stunning.

[@jerryfann8827]

I did the Gokyo Lakes trek in November 2019. The trail follows EBC for part of the way, but branches off to the left beyond Namche. We climbed Gokyo Ri, which is about the same elevation as EBC. I was the only one in the group who didn't take Diamox, and I did okay without it. Your video makes me want to go back to the Himalaya. Great job!

Kraig, is that long sleeve shirt you wear under your puff enough to absorb sweat when you hike. Been looking to get a puff but even in the winter, I sweat during strenuous hikes and don't want the moisture to kill the down.

Will you also do a normal "how-to" video please?

Maybe in the future we will see you climbing Everest itself.... a Kraig Adams climb of Everest would be EPIC. Can ya'll imagine him going back for his camera while on the climb?

Ahhh that overwhelming Himalayan beauty, brings back sweet memories of my Everest trek in 2016 😍 And view of Dal Bhat wasn't any less attractive, reminded of that legendary saying Dal Bhat Power 24 Hour, No Toilet, No Shower 😂😂 I just hope they never build the road to Lukla and especially to Namche Bazaar, that would ruin everything, it's perfect the way it is

Wow, this is glorious, Kraig. This seems like a much more enjoyable, civilized way to see Nepal -- trekking through the mountains instead of climbing Everest, which I've never had any interest in.
