Great video, what’s the phone signal/internet signal along the trail?

[@Khoinguyen0919]

Thanks for the guide. It's very useful. But .... Only 1 hiking trousers for 10 days ? ^^

[@Kj76556]

What’s your take on carrying hydration bag?

[@MadeforMountains_08]

Very helpful👏🏻👏🏻

[@deepalsubasinghe9453]

Thank you so much for all the info. Did you go with an organised tour group? Then how much was the charge for the tour?

[@Jesska0517]

Is that a badge blanket in the background? Looking for a cool idea with my badges and looking forward to putting EBC in that pile :) Thanks for the tips

[@t0ms0n49]

Do i need one of these special sunglasses or regular one that i wear daily are enough?

[@samwong8770]

Is your trail runner goretex waterproof?

[@motohobo]

Everyone thinking Lukla to base camp is THE trek😂. It used to start in Jiri and you walked in from there. Lukla exists because big expedition groups wanted easier and quicker ways of getting supplies in to the region. Quicker and easier. Lukla has now become a tourist airport for people who want a quick fix taste of Everest base camp. I walked in from Jiri 24 years ago and the trail from Lukla has changed dramatically. Things were changing and not for the better even then. Now it resembles a holiday resort more than the beautiful natural environment it once was😢. Decent video though.

[@debbientege9479]

Very helpful. can you share the shop you rented the sleeping bags and everything else and the company you used

[@JamesBTravel]

The shop we hired everything from was called Sports Wear International in Kathmandu.

[@gowthamandk5899]

Which month is best to trek EBC either April- May or September- November Thanks for the detailed informations. Really helpful. ❤

[@JamesBTravel]

I can only speak from experience doing it in April-May, but I’ve heard both are just as good, but April-May is when all the mountaineers are there to summit so it’s a bit busier. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@goawali499]

Which sunscreen n lip balm used

[@stepheninnes3822]

Where did you get the medical/teavel insurance from ? Thanks

[@stevet9938]

Really informative video thanks James. Can I just ask, when you talked about the documents someone should carry you mentioned vaccinations, were there vaccine requirements to be able to do the trek?

[@JamesBTravel]

There were a few recommended vaccinations for Nepal (Hep A, Tetanus, Typhoid) but I don’t remember anyone checking anything.

[@stevet9938]

@@JamesBTravel thanks.

[@Nicolayoung-v6c]

HI Great video. I am heading there later this year, Did you have any vaccines apart from the normal such as Rabies? Also what plug adaptors do we need for the tea houses?

[@JamesBTravel]

We just had the recommended vaccines (Hep A, Tetanus, Typhoid). I believe they had multiple outlets types (C, D and M according to a Google) so safest to bring a universal adaptor (that’s what we did).

[@motohobo]

@Nicolayoung. You should fully do your homework before even thinking of heading there. There are loads of websites giving every aspect of information on this trek.

[@vinosteeps]

how much did you spend in total? so i can start saving 😊

[@JamesBTravel]

I think it came to a couple thousand pounds in total, but you could certainly do it cheaper. Find a local trekking company on arrival in Kathmandu, stay in cheaper accommodation, etc.

[@t0ms0n49]

The trek lasts several days. If I take only 3-4 shirts, they will eventually get sweaty and might start to smell. I don't think there's an opportunity to do laundry there. Does that mean I'll have to wear smelly clothes the whole time?😅

[@JamesBTravel]

If you wear sweat-wicking materials, usually you can get 2-3 days out of a shirt with air-drying overnight before it starts to smell. But yes, on the whole everyone is smelly by the end of it!

[@bastilleisgod3168]

@@JamesBTraveleveryone is smelly!? What!!! 😂😭

[@Jarooon]

If your trekking we all just embrace the stink 😝

[@motohobo]

@t0ms0n49. Put it like this,there aren't laundromats along the route😂. Depending on your lodgings showering and washing facilities it's more likely the smell problem will be you rather than your clothing. But there's nothing stopping you from hand washing your clothing. Drying is more the problem. But if you're staying in a teahouse they usually have fires and we used to hang stuff around the fire or around the chimney pipe. Failing that,drape whatever you've washed over the back of your rucksack. Good quality modern trekking clothing dries pretty quickly.

[@MadeforMountains_08]

Which month you did EBC trek ?

[@deanmccrudden6653]

It literally says that in the first sentence.. fs pay attention

[@motohobo]

​@@deanmccrudden6653 I know. And with a name like MadeforMountains😂. With some of the questions people are asking in the comments there's no way they should thinking about trekking to Everest🤣🤣
