Trekking to Everest Base Camp in Nepal | Our Toughest Hike Yet!

[@christinemcritchie1359]

I did this trek 6 years ago when I was 60.. never hiked or trekked anywhere in my life. But I do have determination.. no idea what to expect but had a great time and met some wonderful people. I love watching these video. Brings back great memories.

[@terrilane2973]

Did you have any trouble with it?

[@haroldtaylor6205]

I envy u mate,I m your age n planning to go end of Oct..

[@Proost1]

I'm 60 and my wife and I want to make this trek. No need to climb the mountain but hike to base camp? Absolutely.

[@anandg2730]

This is the most perfect base camp video showing almost everything . Well done

[@sgringo]

I'm amazed at how professionally produced this video is. Really well done.

This video is a masterpiece! The videography, the music, the commentary, everything about it makes me so excited to one day do the EBC trek ☺My dad and I are planning to do the trek in November 2025, fingers crossed we can make it happen!

[@TomSintra]

This is the best video you've done so far. It definitely deserves more views. Your narration is also excellent. Keep up the good work.

[@JamesBTravel]

Thanks Tom, glad you enjoyed it!

[@siyandankundla-mgudlwa1888]

Absolutely

[@rahmatulbarisunny489]

Wow 😮, mesmerising sceneries. It’s seems that i have drowned in the middle of the Himalayas for the last 37 minutes. ❤ From Bangladesh.

[@hamiltonarroyo]

This brought so many memories of my trek to EBC back in October '23. What an epic time and worth the every minute of it. Great video

[@ashlinr38]

Great video, just did the EBC a few weeks ago - stopped at some of the same teahouses albeit taking a different route to Dingbouche from Naamche. Awesome chronicle of the adventure, safe trekking for the future

[@maem8694]

This was so well done! Thanks for sharing your experience

[@angelaschouten1747]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Nepal truly is a breathtaking destination with its mesmerizing sceneries and charming tea houses. I hope you get to visit this beautiful country someday as well. Your support from Japan means a lot! 🙏😊

Namaste Trekked to EBC in 92 FYI Momos are originally Tibetan but liked this video :)

[@michael.savariantonysamy3670]

Was Rajan Roy your guide? As he was our guide during our trekking to ABC last month. Very nice video 👍

[@louiselanthier5135]

Definitely easy on the eyes and ears! Also, thanks for showing us the food too!

[@gannuganesh891]

Your way of exploring places awesome Broooooo.

[@stunts1337]

awesome video! I got back home from my EBC trek a week ago and it was great to re see some of the sights. In October there was nobody staying at base camp so it was interesting seeing base camp with tents and people staying there. When I went it was just myself and a guide. maybe one day I'll redo it with a larger group. it looks like it could be a lot of fun. Did you go up to Kalapathar peak? I found that part of my trek even more impressive then base camp. It was my favorite part.

[@JamesBTravel]

Thanks so much for watching - I really enjoyed doing it with a group, but can also see the benefits of doing it solo too! Around half our group did Kalapathar, but I was really struggling with altitude sickness (I couldn't eat for 2 days and woke up on the morning of Kalapathar not being able to see!). Amy and Clare did it though and said it was incredible, so I was very jealous!

[@JB_FLYA69669]

Great video you have inspired me to go here

[@BishalShresthaaa]

thank you for visiting nepal 🇳🇵 🙏

[@sarahgahrn]

Super video! Going in 2024! Was it crowded (was there space enough in teahouses and on the trails)?

[@JamesBTravel]

It was much less crowded than I thought it would be. The trail could get a bit busy in the narrow sections, but nothing too bad, and there seemed to be plenty of space in the teahouses. Have an amazing time!

[@sarahgahrn]

@@JamesBTravel thank you for this info! Looking forward to going for sure!

[@yashmin03]

Love this !! Even i was there in november !! 🌸

[@hassanjihan2447]

Love from Germany. I am planning to do this trek in October. Really enjoyed your journey. I am so much excited about October. Very helpful and obviously this one motivate me. Thank you so much. Looking forward to see you.

Absolutely loved this video...Its my dream to visit EBC want to visit there....

[@skar9975]

Wow. What an experience. Hope I can do this successfully in December.

[@magnificenthimalayantreks]

You've got this! 🏔 December might bring some extra challenges, but the EBC trek is an incredible adventure. Stay prepared, stay positive, and enjoy the journey. 💪👣

very helpful, thank you! going there in a few months :D

[@JamesBTravel]

Have an amazing time!

[@trentonmurray178]

I did it long ago and if I could offer some advice - if you have time walk in from Jiri. You will acclimatize better .Up and down three mountains then left and follow the Khumbu Valley. I only had a pack and easy to do alone and stay each night in guest houses along the way.namaste.

[@karipintakivi9153]

17:58 drinking a lot of water does not help with acclimatisation at all, it is a gross misunderstanding of the process. Drink when thirsty, that is all there is to it (more than usual though for several reasons).

[@mrjolly90]

Doing this in April and can not wait enjoying all My training daily

[@dsphotos2012]

amazing video with well balanced details. Did you go through the same # of days (7-8) coming back from EBC to Lukla?

[@JamesBTravel]

Thank you 😊 it was only 3 days back to Lukla from EBC

[@Gyaani-w1m]

Wow so beautiful

[@curlyzim1]

Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊

[@JamesBTravel]

Thank you!!

[@KvichakSmith]

The trail didn’t seem to be that crowded??

[@rimbawati6561]

I'm so exited to go this November but also worried that it would be cold at the same time 😅

[@karipintakivi9153]

There is a much more impressive high trail on the opposite side of the valley from Tengboche offering vastly better views than the standard route. Does not make much sense to hike the same trail twice when there is a better and more adventurous alternative available via Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche which can be hiked in the same amount of time.

[@cagdasyildirim]

Amazing video and experience. Thank you so much. Can I ask you have you ever seen a situation such as there is no available room in any tea house?

[@JamesBTravel]

Thank you for your comment, really appreciate you watching 🙏 We booked everything through a tour company so it was all organised for us, however we met a couple of people on the trail who were booking rooms on the day of arrival and it seemed that there was always something available.

[@cagdasyildirim]

Thank you again☺@@JamesBTravel

[@stunts1337]

I finished my trek 2 weeks ago and we experienced some shortage of rooms. sometimes we would have to go further to the next town to get a room. At Gorakshep it was very busy. no empty rooms left and I had to share a room with someone else. At Lobuche i nearly had to sleep in the teahouse owners room with all his stuff in the room but then latter on in the afternoon a room became free for me. On the day we were heading to Lukla we passed 1000s of people. the airport had been closed for a week so lots of people flew in that day with shorter schedules with plans to skip some acclimatization days. I've no idea where all those people were going to stay. they might have had to do 3 people per room and sleeping in the lunch rooms or something.

[@JamesBTravel]

Thanks for the extra info, it sounds like we went at a much less busy time of year! Sounds like booking with a tour company that pre-books accommodation for you is the way to go

[@cagdasyildirim]

Thank you so much . I have watched nearly one hundred vıdeos and fırst tıme hearıng thıs problems. and tomorrow mornıng ı have got a flıght to Kathmandu. ı don't know what ı am goıng to do 🙄 @@stunts1337

[@JindřichEkl]

wooow so amazing 🌞✨🙏 I just wanted to ask you about the exact date or part of May you walked the track? Was it crowded?

[@JamesBTravel]

We started on the 9th May, reached EBC on the 16th. It was pretty busy, but not enough to ruin the experience 👌

[@sherlostrips]

Booked with G adventures this june. my colleague recommended it as well...and it seems great with them thank you for the vid, big help. =)

[@JamesBTravel]

Amazing! Hope you enjoy it!

[@ptanawong]

Hi, thanks for the video. I like your story telling. It's calm and peaceful, but also catchy. I'm planning the EBC trekking, may I ask two questions? Do they have electricity for charging cameras / phones in every tea house? and what is the lowest temperature you experience over there? Thank you.

[@JamesBTravel]

They have electricity in all the tea houses we stayed in, but they start charging for use higher up the mountain. I don’t remember what the lowest outdoor temperate was, possibly around -5 to -10 degrees at night, but it was warm enough inside the tea houses (I was warm inside a sleeping bag), but it can get lower than that.

[@ptanawong]

what time of the year did you hike ? I like your team spirit.

[@JamesBTravel]

Thank you! 😊 We started on the 9th May, reached EBC on the 16th.

[@gunasekharnaidujakku228]

Hey james, its great watching your journey. Could you please make a list of expenses of the trip ?

[@gnelson17]

I am curious as well.... just a rough estimate? Hi from SE Asia

[@JamesBTravel]

As a rough estimate (excluding flights), it was around £1,000 per person for the guide, accommodation and transfers (all via G Adventures), an additional £500 for expenses in the mountains (food, drinks, hot showers, internet), plus around £100-150 for tipping guides and porters.

[@blueoceansailingexpedition4863]

Awesome segment. What were you filming with ?

[@JamesBTravel]

I shoot with the Panasonic GH4. I’ve got a link to all my camera gear in the description 😊

[@stevet9938]

Great video James. What time of year did you do the Trek?

[@JamesBTravel]

Thanks Steve. We went in May.

[@VizagVizag-xv7uc]

Which month of the year is this? Just to know hiw the temperatures look like.

[@JamesBTravel]

This was May 👍

[@anantnowlakha7708]

Hey, which trekking agency did you guys use? My wife and I are going towards the end of March this year to Nepal and want to do the EBC trek.

[@JamesBTravel]

We went with G-Adventures - a bit more expensive than finding a company once you arrive in Kathmandu, but we had a great experience so would recommend

[@EreKeren]

hi james amazing.....I have plan to hike and trek EBC in Oktober 2024 can you give me some information about trek to EBC tq

Could you share the things to pack for ebc trek

[@cellohack8602]

It was such a great video rendition. It has changed me, and encouraged me to also want to do it. I am currently seeking to join a group tour. Any suggestion for a company?

[@JamesBTravel]

Thanks so much. We booked with G-Adventures, but you could contact our guide directly who runs his own tours. He’s Gelu Sherpa on Facebook facebook.com/share/Ab44skradwyjytiz/?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Wow just seen that Everest base camp is only around 500m less than to the top of Kilimanjaro 🙄

It’s surprisingly high considering it’s technically the ‘bottom’ of Everest!

[@Carcamper.Telugu]

Can we do this without a guide!!??

[@JamesBTravel]

We saw a few people trekking without a guide (I think there’s been a proposal to ban it due to safety, but not sure the status of that), but it’s definitely advisable to go with a guide. If you get altitude sickness - which many/most do - it’s good to have a guide, they book your tearooms ahead so you don’t risk getting stranded, plus it’s an important source of income for the Sherpa people - both guides and porters - it’s important to support this local economy.

[@nirabgyawali9761]

Please do not go without guide. For e.g. what if your leg twist a little? High altitude trekking is no joke
