Thoughts after Mardi Himal

[@TakashiAsukai]

Hey Kraig, I just came back from the Mardi Himal trek too, saw "ghost" too at high camp! He actually followed us to the viewpoint before staying there when we descended.

[@sumanchaudhary1592]

Ghost is there to guide trekkers. Hats off ghost.👍

About the dogs: I heard this story that those are monks, who did not live their life properly and therefore have been send back to earth to guide other people!!! I almost always have a dog with me while trekking in Nepal 😊

[@qcomberette]

We had ghost following us all the way, we had 3 children we us they love her and named her Tofu, my son got very attached to the dog and cried when we had to leave.

[@AndyAdventuring]

My man Ghost left Kraig for a group of girls. I'm beginning to think Ghost is actually MY spirit animal.

[@arilebon]

Ghost is a savvy survivor...

Sad that Ghost is not a guide in Nepal any more.

[@BGaud]

Lars as long as he has a good home and can be outdoors, I’m ok with that.

[@ducphungcom]

@@BGaud but he had a good home and was in the most beautiful place already? Meeting and leading new people almost every day, being free!. Now he has to live on a leash and do whatever that lady tells him. How is that a better life? Sorry but that's just selfish.

[@jedikaren8112]

No! Ghost was obviously a mountain dog...spiritual in a sense. A famaliar that belonged to no one. How dare someone disrepect him!

[@johnwong3481]

Nepal is amazing and my favorite country I have ever been to and I consider the annapurna ciruit trek one of the highlights of my life...your video brings back alot of memories from what feels like eons(13 years) ago!

[@ashikrai1764]

ghost represented Nepal the best way!!! thank you GHOST.

[@ProtoMarcus]

You're such a masterful creator Thanks for the video! I truly hope you'll continue with this format - silent hike vid and dedicated 'behind the scenes' vid! Ghost is adorable, his story finally told!

[@PakaPrich]

I love Ghost! I’m doing Mardi Himal this May, but I’ve sone 4 treks in Nepal already. I really recommend Manaslu Circuit. It’s the real hidden gem!

[@DrReginaldoRamos]

I'm happy you recovered your channel, Kraig. You're amazing, guy. Very glad here!

[@donniedarko2557]

We love the post-hike videos just as much as the silent hike video. So much insight. Thank you for the food shots, info, and prices. Thank you!

[@tobirama6888]

Nepal is one of the most beautiful country in the world💎♥️

[@Sam-od4uj]

you did good job by leaving "Ghost" where he belongs: up in the snowy mountain, free from crowd and hustle, free from chains in their neck, free from walls and gates of house. He is free spirited animal just like Ghost in GOT.

[@evaraee7083]

I agree

[@cyber_cowpoke]

I throughly enjoyed this video! It’s nice to know what you were doing/thinking behind the scenes! Keep up the great work Kraig!

[@eleeadams]

Don’t buy boots, man! Btw, your silent hikes are wonderful, very relaxing.

[@KenWAnderson]

Wow! The process you put yourself through to make these videos - trapesing back and forth - just so that we can enjoy it, is amazing. Thank you Kraig!

[@humorvault7058]

Really enjoying this guide! Glad you liked this trek, it's really fun. Hoping you'll come back to Nepal to take on many new adventures. I subbed to your channel after watching your Hornstrandir video but only after watching your Mardi silent movie, I realised you're from WFS!! I used to watch WFS all the time and your videos have really helped me a lot. Looking forward to watch more amazing content like this from you! 🙏🏼

[@ReneeRidgeway]

I am a hiker and you inspire me to take more chances and add more variety to my hikes! I Love dogs and was so touched by your travel companion for this hike ! Thanks for sharing your wonderful expertise! I'll keep watching them all! 🙏💖✨

[@c-fb]

Kraig, missed your talks after the videos, nice that you took time to do one. All the best!

[@redrockcrf4663]

Good on you for paying for food at the tea houses. When I was there 1 year earlier, saw young people bringing their own instant noodles and attmepting to order "hot water". The high-altitude tea houses count on the food sales as part of their revenue.

[@r.h.7486]

Thank you very much Kraig.. that you let us participate in your wonderful tours. They have a meditative effect on me. These beauties, the creative work of our Creator, touch me very much.❤‍🩹

[@avenhembram1029]

Daal is Lentil and Bhaat is Boiled Rice, hence Daal-Bhaat. It's pretty common in South-Asia.

[@star42]

I did the everest circuit trek to the Base camp over 19 days a few years ago. Hopefully this pandemic will ease soon as I cannot wait to head back to Nepal. The best thing about being in Nepal is it really make you appreciate the simple things in life. A cup of hot bevrage and a hot meal that you take for granted back home after arriving to the teahouse, and it feels like the most amazing reward in the world. Not to mention the shower at the end after being in the wild for a couple of weeks is the most amazing feeling; something that's hard to experience in normal life. Thank you for your awesome contents Kraig! Hopefully this COVID thing is not affecting you and your channel too much .

[@AverageAufa]

watching your videos is like therapy to me. idk how to explain it?? but your silent hikes and videos like these explaining things calms me down and clears my mind. what i’m trying to say is i love you and appreciate all the content you put out.

Ghost is the guardian of the trail :D

[@iriskartasasmita8795]

Loved your silent travel video. Ghost’s appearance kept me glued to your video. As a dog lover, it just made me cry. Glad to hear more on the hike on this video and hear more about Ghost. I read comments that stated she was taken to US. Some people were not very happy. I’m personally glad the Ghost is in better hand. I’m sure it will be taken better care of and fed we’ll better than the wilderness.

this was the most beautiful hiking video i've watched. I love how you didn't narrate during, made you experience the place more through the video. Loved the after thoughts video, great idea.

[@loveaodai100]

I loved the original and this descriptive of the original. I really like your film style as well especially that you filmed the tea house and food experience. And lastly... the actual quality of the 4K is terrific. There are many "4K" uploads out there that are really not true 4K but yours was great.

[@felixruiz8721]

Can't wait to see what happens to the dog :3

As soon as this video showed up on my watch list: "THE DOG. I MUST KNOW."

[@tabishqumar4966]

Someone took her to US

[@ben-uy1ud]

Was Ghost the same dog (I guess so) which an old lady took back to the USA since he was following her on her trek. Am not sure how he is now leaving his independent life and now limited to 4 walls.

[@r4v1]

"Daal Bhat Power 24-Hour!" I went on Mardi Trek during rainy season. Although the trail was slippery and full of leeches, we loved it. Thanks for coming to Nepal, Kraig!

[@chrisanthonissen17]

Maaaan, this reminds me of doing the Annapurna Sanctuary in 2014. So similar, complete with super friendly people, "dhaal bhat power", the slighty (but not too much) awkward choosing of the guesthouse and the random dogs follow us for a few days. Good summary!

[@jaimunnayee2225]

Your videos are fantastic mate. So inspiring and helpful as well. I used to be outdoors a lot but have let that side go as I'd not been doing well mentally. It's definitely inspiring to start getting back out there and get back into hiking and photography!

Sounds wonderful and thank you for describing your cost and description of your adventure

[@mahimainduwara643]

Great video Kraig! The coffee keeps getting more expensive as you ascend because the higher the altitude, the higher the cost (and difficulty) of transporting all the food from the bazaar all the way to the top :)

[@GlaucusBlue]

this looks absolutely stunning, glad youtube recommended your channel. so many more hiking ideas. This and the MacLehose Trail added to the list. Like these shorter trials where you can spend time doing other holiday stuff.

This must be the very first time for me to hear this much good things about a dog.

So awesome to watch your film and hear you talk about this trek. I just got home from living in the Annapurna region and teaching English for a few months and was lucky enough to hike this trail while I was there. It's cool to see how much it's changed with the snow since I did it at the end of November, and from a different trailhead. Ghost also reminded me of all the stray dogs and puppies of Nepal :)

[@korzna]

Hi Kraig, just discovered your channel. Watched the Mardi Himal video first and I love the silent hiking style. It has a great quality to it and being someone that looks for remote hiking options, it is a great resource. And this video was SUPER helpful as well. Keep it up!

[@Ning_Nong____]

It's very true what you said about picking one guesthouse in the mountains and EATING THERE TOO. It's very upsetting for the owners since they offer the room at such a low rate. The etiquette is that you eat where you stay (in the mountains, not necessarily in the city).

The Ghost is the quintessential Nepali puppy. I was considering a hike to try for my visit back home. I had not yet considered Mardi Trek even though my ancestors are originally from this region. But after watching your videos and talking with some folks back home, this is definitely my next to do hike. Thanks for sharing your experience Kraig. And to people considering Nepal for their next trip, Nepali hospitality is the best. We take care of our guests.
