Hiking to Everest Base Camp (this was hard) | part one
71,630
Published 2024-04-26
In this first act (out of three), instead of flying to Lukla, we first take a bus from Kathmandu to Salleri/Phaplu. Once on the trail, we are forced to navigate muddy roads, battle relentless rain, and face challenges that push me to my limits.
But it's not all rain and mud! Despite the challenges, we get some beautiful, raw views of the Himalayas, and have a lot of fun along the way, too. It's a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with each step bringing me closer to the iconic Everest Base Camp.
Trust, me, this is a series you won't want to miss!

Beautiful video! I walked to EBC in 1991, we started from Jiri, that was where the road ended back then. We also did not have porters or a guide, that was not very common, most people walked on their own. I remember the part from Jiri to Lukla to be very beautiful and very peaceful. The first few days were very hard, but it helped us to get stronger and be prepared for the higher altitudes later on. Thank you for sharing this, it is lovely to relive this a little bit.

Did this back in '83. Brings back lots of memories. Incredibly difficult. I had porters to carry the heavy stuff, as I had limited time. In terms of what makes this so hard, not the ups, actually, but the unrelenting downs!!! By the time you reach Namche, you will have done about 3 times the elevation of Everest. The other big advantage of doing it this way, is you will never have to worry about acclimatizing. And, after Namche, compared to what you have done, it's pretty much *flat*!!! Good luck.

Beautiful. This channel makes me feel like someone who has stumbled upon an incredible secret place and am torn between telling everyone i know, or keeping it to myself.
-
the story telling is so beautiful and the cinematography is so sophisticated, this is the greatest everest base camp film i have ever seen. Not only is this top quality (filming + post production), it is f**kn hard to carry film gear and find the time and logistics to efficiently shoot this trip. so well done.
-
omg this is such a wonderful yet difficult adventure. I love this so much please release part 2.
-
No flights, no porter, no guide is no big deal, really. I've done it in 95, 02 and 23 and it's still a fantastic hike to do. Highly recommended.

These small food joints all over the route are just life Saviour!

I think the loud music is to keep the driver awake. Otherwise, there is a high chance that the driver might get too sleepy during the 12-hour drive.
