[@petteredvardjohansen1397]

Amazing video! High quality and beautiful shots. . We are doing the three passes without a guide this upcoming Sunday, and your guide has really helped us out with the planning. Thank you!

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your journey 🙂

[@annabooker8576]

I am planning this same route and starting on Saturday, are you starting from Lukla ?

[@kyleboulanger7835]

Mate, this is the best trek overview I have ever watched

[@ervinslens]

This was amazing work my friend, amazing! Shots and atmosphere are breathtaking!

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@rioxavier7574]

Bro this is like a top high budget documentary video. Sound, video everything.... Nice 🤘

[@AnishAhmed]

After watching several videos on this topic I can confidently say that this is the best video on EBC trek info and planning. I can’t think of way this can be any better. Thank you so much for your help.

[@Pancake-forever]

Handing off your contribution to your viewers was truly amazing, and the effort you put into creating this guide video is truly commendable. Thank you so much for your hard work!

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Wow, thank you! I’m glad it was helpful and for your kind words. Stay tuned for more 😆🙏

[@MamaTrekker]

Thank you for the valuable information🙏. I’m planning on next month

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Thank you for watching 💛🙏 Best of luck on your adventure!

Amazing very good video ❤

[@navgoraya3198]

Nicely narrated video. I love Nepal and it's people. From Canada 🇨🇦

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Thank you for your kind feedback. Nepal is indeed a beautiful destination for hiking. Happy trails from the USA!

[@bobmarley6161]

Fantastic full of information and stunning heavenly scenery.....

[@RajDev1]

Very well explained Nicholas, covered all the minute details. Is the internet available throughout the trek, I mean does Nepalese sim have signals and have 4g internet connectivity.

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Thank you so much 💛🙏 Internet is pretty unreliable for most of this trek after Namche Bazaar. Most tea houses offer Everest Link cards. But I would get a local NTC sim card as a back up too.

[@RajDev1]

Thank you

[@RajDev1]

Hello Nicholas, how to book flight to Lukla. Do we need to goto Ramechap n book or can it be done online for April2024, I donot see anything on Skyscanner etc..

[@EagerHikerGuides]

I’m not sure if it can be done online. As with the Jeep, you can book through your hotel in Kathmandu once you arrive.

[@willsanderson4239]

Great video - thank you very much

[@vincentgoette]

Thank you so much for this detailed guide. I will do this hike this year in Late November and cant wait to see the Himalayas for the first time. Is it possible to recharge batteries at the teehouses along the way?

[@dansol1495]

Thank you very much, very useful video! I like and subscription - forward to friends!

[@JohnVianneyPatron]

Highly useful presentation. Hope you put up many more so your subscribers will grow.

[@annas.5794]

Wow! Superb video. Beautiful and informative. To the point, no bla bla :-). When did you go, I see you're wearing trail runners. I am hoping to not use boots beginning of April. Thanks

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Glad you liked it! I went in May and trail runners were no problem. Boots are fine too just make sure they’re not too heavy. There’s a link to a full hiking guide in the description of the video. Cheers!

[@Exploretreks]

well, explained about this footage about the Himalayas of Mount Everest 8848.86m.

[@paulbrockley5340]

Fantastic video What month did you go?

[@doussotchristophe9411]

Really good explications , enjoy life !

[@borger2109]

Nice one again!!! However I slightly disagree with your planning after Namche. I would like to emphasize that the rapid altitude change can cause serious problems for many (also for this reason: better split up the trek to Namche from Lukla in two days). I would also advise to go counter clockwise, add a restday day in Namche (visit Kunde & Khumjung and return to Namche).Going on to visit Ama Dablam Basecamp and Imja Tso & BC from Chhukung. That will better prepare you body to the elevation gains. Still a great vid with loads of info and nice shots!

[@savrah]

Beautiful

[@arun.kahaduwaarachchi]

Sir, Can I do solo trekking to Ama Dablam base camp without a guide even if hiring of a guide is mandatory?

[@thewencounter]

Hi Nicholas, wonderful work -- thank you for this. Question: navigating the moving glaciers and ice paths might be the most important reason to trek with a guide. I am an experience hiker, so I might be able to do it alone, though. What's your experience? How did you do it?

[@EagerHikerGuides]

When I went it was relatively easy to follow the path from Gokyo to Dragnag because many other hikers had recently completed it, leaving a trail. The path from Lobuche up Kongma pass had trail markers. However, it’s a glacier and the path will be different when you go. I would ask around other people at the tea houses to see if they have any information when you are there. Be safe and happy hiking!

[@thewencounter]

@@EagerHikerGuides thanks for the info, Nicholas, I appreciate it! It must be busy in April when I am there, so that should work.

[@annas.5794]

@@thewencounter : When are you starting? :-)

[@thewencounter]

@@annas.5794 hi, I decided to trek the Manaslu Circuit instead. Starting in a few days already! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6GXeWtsjdxpiac

[@yongfengwu7965]

such good video❤❤

[@N31A]

Do you have any tips on good trekking poles?

[@kl-ke9ec]

Best video about three passes I found, beautifully shot. Im planning on doing beginning of September, would it too early for the season weather wise, and is it possible the compress down the trek to two weeks?

[@FinbackImagery]

So the Pyramid is open currently for guests? The info I see online suggests it's been shutdown for many years. Looks like a great place to stay; I'm doing Three Passes in Oct. Great vid!

[@EagerHikerGuides]

When I went in May 2023 it was open. Yes it was a great place to stay. Happy hiking!

[@FinbackImagery]

@@EagerHikerGuides Thanks for the response - cheers!

[@mayorshop-fr6pl]

thank you sir..

[@leguanoo]

I have been to Nepal a few times and hiked some amazing trails solo. Iam planing ön going again this sprint but iam confused about the need for having a guide. Is it not compulsary now?

[@Jimnam77]

which month was exactly when you went to the trek can you please share for the assistance

[@ManWithLamp]

Wow man ❤❤❤

[@tRAVel.wIthRAVI]

Brilliant presentation and narration. Ty for sharing. A question: how would you select tea houses? Recommendation for must stay places (I plan solo without Porter / guide in Nov 24. ).

[@tRAVel.wIthRAVI]

Another question. I saw panoramic shots with you in them . Tips on how to click them ???

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Thank you for watching and your comments 💛🙏 I selected tea houses when I arrived to a village. I talked with the owners once I got there. It's totally up to you :)

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Use a tripod! I have more of this style footage on my main channel @NicholasEager 🎥

[@tRAVel.wIthRAVI]

@@EagerHikerGuides thank you. I shall look it up today.

very well narrated and portrayed very nicely, im planning to do this trek, where to apply permit for this and can i go solo for this witgout hire a guide?pls guide , Thanks :)

[@mitchellsubha]

How did you bypass the guide requirement?

[@nitho-legacy]

Thanks a lot for the video. It really is valuable as I'm planning to do the trek this 4-23 May unguided. Question: You stated that you did the Three Passes Trek in May 2023. May I know what the weather looked like, especially at the end of May last year? Did you have difficulty traversing the passes or were there any snow storm? Really, thank you again

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Hi! Thanks for watching and your kind words 🙏 The weather was mostly clear and favorable (with a few afternoon storms) when I went but each year it’s different and it’s best to be aware of current conditions when you are going. Have a great adventure!

[@martinclennon4640]

Do I bring a tent (1lb)? Have several down bags trying to decide if I bring 2lb 7oz 0 F bag or Two bags layered 3lbs? Water Treatment bring sawyer squeeze light hollow fiber bacteria 5oz or guardian msr 1lb 2 oz? Trail Runners or half height light boots with gtx liner? Time of trip Sept 1st to oct 1st. Great video. Appreciate any ideas and advice

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Thanks for your questions! Here are my recommendations: Tent: Bring a lightweight tent or bivy sack for protection from the elements. Teahouses are available, but having your own shelter provides flexibility. This is entirely up to you. I did not bring one. Sleeping bag: A 0°F bag should suffice in September. Layering two bags adds unnecessary weight. Consider a liner for extra warmth. However, I also did not bring a bag. Water treatment: The Sawyer Squeeze is lightweight and effective. The MSR Guardian is overkill unless you have specific water concerns. Footwear: Trail runners with good traction are ideal for the varied terrain. Waterproof hiking shoes also work well. Avoid heavy boots. September is a great time with clear skies, but expect chilly nights at higher elevations. Acclimatize properly, pack layers, and enjoy the stunning scenery! Let me know if you have any other questions. Wishing you an incredible trek!

[@NickLeyshan]

How’d you do the Google earth animations? I’m doing this Trek at the end of the year and I’m going to try document it with film like this mainly a stills photographer. I looked at your gear list and deciding what tripod to get which one was used more? I don’t feel like carrying around two tripods

[@EagerHikerGuides]

Thanks for watching! I used Google Earth Studio for the animations. I use the Peak Design tripod almost exclusively. Happy hiking!

[@NickLeyshan]

No worries it was a good video and very informative. Is there any tutorials on ur channel on how to use google earth?

[@bixun5899]

I wanted to do the Nepal treks solo to enhance the experience. But I saw the news and thought it wasn’t allowed by Nepal Govt. how did you do it solo?

[@leguanoo]

Iam curious to know too!?

[@anuragrao2298]

in which month you went?

[@Jesuschrist_017]

[@JohnVianneyPatron]

So the usual debates: Do you really need boots, won't trail runners work? Do you really need a sleeping bag - you sleep in warm teahouses which provide you with blankets - can't you just use a liner instead? [BTW: No mention of crampons??? ].

[@andrewstart6772]

I’d say it was perfectly doable in decent trail shoes and with just a bag liner. Crampons would be overkill, but microspikes are useful and small and lightweight.

[@Kristof_with_a_K]

Hey, the teahouses are not warm. Only the comonroom is warmed in the evening. The sleepingrooms are not. In gorakshep last year the room temperature dropped to minus 10. Blankets are not enough for most people

[@andrewstart6772]

@@Kristof_with_a_KI’m just about to set off on the third pass today. All the tea houses I’ve asked for an extra blanket and they’ve been more than happy to supply.
