Pt. 5: Dingboche to Lobuche | Hiking the EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK | EBC 2022

Pt. 5: Dingboche to Lobuche | Hiking the EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK | EBC 2022 // THIS is the story of how I said “Yes” to my very first international trek, hiking up to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.
Coming out of Dingboche, we had a pretty good climb, which would lead us to hiking through the Nepalese Flats. We were treated to beautiful, warm, clear weather and were able to enjoy all of the incredible scenery around us.
For lunch, we stopped at Thukla and enjoyed more Ginger Lemon Honey Tea and Dal Bhat. After lunch, we made the steep climb up to Thukla Pass, which sits at 4,830 meters or 15,748 feet.
When you see photos and videos of the Everest Base Camp trek, you’ve more than likely seen Thukla Pass. Thukla Pass was a somber and humbling experience seeing all of the different memorials for fallen climbers and failed expeditions on Mount Everest. There were so many memorials here.
After Thukla Pass, we hiked through more Nepalese Falts, which would eventually lead us into Lobuche for the evening. Here, we would visit the world’s highest bakery and sleep at over 16,000 feet.
In the morning, we would head off for one of the biggest days of our entire trek - Everest Base Camp.
From Dingboche to Lobuche
Elevation:
4,410 meters to 4,910 meters
14,469 feet to 16,108 feet

Get ready for more magnificent mountains videos in this video. We got lucky with the weather AGAIN! "The Sierra Nevada range (In reference to my JMT thru-hike I did back in June here in the United States), THOSE are hills compared to these mountains. THESE are mountains." "Sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill....sometimes ABC, sometimes EBC..."

[@cindymoore9380]

So so excited for you all.keep those videos coming stay safe out there!

Thank you!! There are still two more videos left in this series. Part 6 goes live on Wednesday. PLUS, I just finished editing a whole video going over all of the gear I brought with me for our trek along with answering some of the most asked questions I've been getting about how we planned our trek. The EBC Packing List + FAQ video will give live here on November 9th. Stay tuned for more from this amazing trip!!

That video will go live on my KZbin Channel on 11/9 so stay tuned!!

[@jimsather6892]

Awesome video and series! This is a bucket list item and watching it helps to get over the apprehension hurdle. When the series is complete, I bet viewers would love to see a breakdown of equipment, what you used, what you didn't use, why you made some of the choices you did, and/or what you might do differently. I know I would. For instance, I suspect you skipped filters in lieu of SteriPEN because filters can freeze... Regardless, thanks for all the great content!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Thanks for watching and glad you're enjoying this video series!! It's been so fun to go back and re-live my trip to Nepal all over again by creating these videos. You must have been reading my mind!

awesome.......when i completed Annapurn Circuit Trek.....i struggled to sleep for the last 2 nights..in fact i had no sleep the last night before we went trrough Thoronlga Pass at 5416 meters....loving the vlogs and looking forward to the last one...

Sleeping at the higher elevation was Dey’s challenge. I tossed and turned on the last couple nights with broken sleep, but still managed to get a few hours of sleep here and there.

[@adamholbrook2281]

I hope you have been taking notes and comparing recipes between all the stops you've been getting dahl bat at. I've tried to find that around me (at a restaurant), but no luck. Indian food is about as close as I have been able to come and I don't think it is all that close. Hope to see an Everest/ Nepal inspired cooking video or two after this trip. Thanks for sharing. What a cool experience.

[@TheHungryHiker]

I LOVE this idea!!!! This winter I'll be working on lots of new food videos for my channel and will be sure to add a Nepal inspired backpacking cooking video to the lineup. Thanks for the great idea! I did find a Nepalese restaurant nearby and can't wait to check it out soon. I've been craving Dal Bhat and Mono everyday since I've come back from Nepal.

[@sandylarsen8971]

Really enjoying watching your videos to EBC, I will be going up in 3 months with Life Himalaya also, I would like to know what. Camera did you use to film, or did you use an Apple iphone, I’m still deciding. Also was there plenty of PowerPoints for you to charge your electronics? Thank you

[@tracey9157]

I’d love to know what limits or guidelines they had for monitoring you saturations. In school we had many math problems where we had to figure out the partial pressure of oxygen at Everest altitude and how it affected numbers in the body… but that was 20 years ago! Lol. And how did the altitude feel etc? I’m sure you’ll touch on that in your following videos. I love this series and the adventure you had!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Not sure exactly what the limits or guidelines were for our vitals that our guide was monitoring, but I know that no one in our group came close to having any issues at the higher elevation. The higher we got, the harder it was to breathe. I know I felt a whole lot more tired at the higher elevation, which is why we all hiked slow, slow, slow. Thank goodness for Diamox, cough drops, lots of water and delicious food along this trek. 😀

Was your editing done, when you got back home? Any upset stomachs between the 5 of you? Amazing scenery

[@TheHungryHiker]

Yes! I started editing all of my videos two weeks after I got back home here in the United States. I needed some extra time to absorb and reflect on everything that happened along our trek before I was ready to share it with the world. I think a couple people struggled with minor stomach issues, but it was only for a short amount of time.

I've put together a whole, very detailed video covering all of the gear I brought with me for this trek along with how we planned our trek, details of our trek and answered some of the most asked questions I've been getting about our trek in an upcoming video that will go live here on my KZbin Channel on 11/9.

[@andreabossen7082]

What do you think happen with all the plastic water bottles you bought? Why didn’t you purified tap water?

[@TheHungryHiker]

Our guide told us that all of the plastic bottles are brought down to the lower elevations by porters where they are recycled. We saw a number of porters heading down the trail with loads of bottles. If you have been watching all of the videos in this series, you’ll see a few of them. I go into detail about why I didn’t purify water along our trek in a future video coming out on my KZbin Channel on 11/13.

[@hope2someday691]

You all are champions!!!!!! Crazy altitudes there. Hopefully no one got altitude sickness. BTW, No offense to the Nepalese hotels but you meals look a little sparse.

[@TheHungryHiker]

In regards to your comment about meals in the teahouses along the EBC trek: Whenever you order Dal Bhat, you are always offered seconds. What you're seeing in the video is just the first round of each meal. You can literally have as much of the Dal Bhat dish as you want. Trust me, no one ever went hungry along our trek. :)

[@hope2someday691]

Thank you for the update. After a few days of watching I never saw a seconds serving being brought out. Though maybe no one needed any.

[@TheHungryHiker]

That’s because I was too busy eating to catch the second servings being offered on video. 😂 Rest assured, I happily accepted each of the second servings that were offered to me. 😀

[@maxsdad538]

I find it doubly tragic how many climbers have died on the mountain, and their bodies remain... often as trail markers. Like the unknown climber known as "green boots, or "Scott Fischer (4:55). Y'all be REAL careful, this is no game.

[@TheHungryHiker]

I agree. The site of the memorials up at Thukla Pass were very humbling. I took time to visit as many of the memorials as I could, reading all of the different signs and plaques. Even though we didn't summit Mount Everest on this trip, hiking in this area is really challenging. Not only being up at such a high elevation, but also weather conditions can change in an instant. You have to be prepared for anything that might come your way. Luckily, we had an amazing guide who helped us stay safe and have a successful trek up to EBC.

[@ajaydhungana1921]

As sad as that is, people die every day. There's a certain amount of risk in everything we do. We can't let the fear of what "could" happen hold us back from doing the things we want to do and make us happy. Life's too short to live in a bubble.
