Hey, thank you so much

Hi, how are you? Thank you for your kind words. I’m not really a trekking enthusiast. I just wanted to go at least to the base camp, as I developed some fantasies about Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam etc. after reading "Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. I was of course worried about the altitude. My only confidence was riding motorcycle through Umling La Pass in 2022, and it is at higher altitude than Everest Base Camp. But like an idiot, I learned the hard way that riding and trekking are both different. So, why I didn’t do any treks before this, I don’t really know. Mentally, I was there way before. Just took the body later! As you have mentioned physical fitness, I think Cardio in the gym helped me. And I walk a lot inside the city in Bangalore as well. I'm basically from the coastline in Kerala. Maybe spending time in the water has helped as well. I think it's mostly about your legs and lungs.

Hi Chris, how are you? I did not take any medicine for altitude sickness beforehand. But I got the signs of sickness (headache & vomiting sensation) when I reached Gorakshep and I took medicine from my guide that night (after finishing Everest base camp) and the next day I was fine again and trekked back to Lukla. I'm not sure which tablet it was! (most probably diamox) But I’m sure you’ll be fine without any medication. All the best Chris.

Hey yes!

Thanks. Your visualisation is so beautiful bro.

Hey thank you! I just finished watching your Nelliyampathi videos. Planning to go adutha maasam 👍

Thank you

Thank you

Hi Archana, thank you so much!!

Hi, the elephants visit this place almost every single day. So I think yes, it’s the right time!

Hi, how are you? You cannot see much greenery around at this time. It’s dry almost everywhere in the forest. But I don’t think it affects animal sightings. I think you should go!

Thanks bro

Thank you!

Thank you brother!

Hello Suraj, how are you? Yes, we had an experienced guide for the group. And it's not mandatory to have a guide for EBC, you can go solo as well. I went in February, and it was not crowded at all. It was only our group at the base camp when we reached there.

@@14doxx no solo trekking as of a few months ago!

Hi Karan, how are you? I took a package that includes 2 safaris. Thanks for your words.

Thanks 🙏

Hi Shabeer, there are different packages available on the JLR (Jungle Lodges and Resorts) website. Please go through once.

Sure!

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you brother

Thanks!

All the best! Vellingiri is a beautiful place.

Thank you very much dear brother...

@@krishnamurthi2144 Hi, did you complete the trek?

Haha thank you. I just saw some of your videos it’s so nice!

Hey there! From what I read online I can see that solo trekking is not banned in Sagarmatha National Park region. That means we can still trek solo to EBC. But all this news is from 2023 publishing. I just reached out to some official I met there. I'll let you know what he says. Edit: Just got confirmation that we can still do solo trekking to EBC!

You can do solo. No issues at all, but be prepared for all the adversaries.

Hey, thank you so much for that!

Hi, Jungle Lodges and Resorts. Viceroy Package.

Hi, I took a package through ‘Himalayan Wonders’. You can go through their website once. Detailed information is available there.

Ravi ji, thanks for the kind words. The trek was in the last week of February. It was almost dry everywhere until Dingboche (6th day). Even after that, it was so bright during the daytime that by noon the trail was dry again. So we didn’t need much extra gear specifically for snow. I managed with 2 layers of clothing. About shower, I didn’t shower beyond Namche Bazaar but my crazy teammates did. So, yes, facilities are available. I took the package through Himalayan wonders (69k, excluding airfare both ways of course). I was always wearing 3 layers at night, so a sleeping bag was not needed. But Gorakshep was unbearable so I used it there.

@@14doxx thank you for detailed replies. I plan to do without Porter and guide in November. If you have anything to add any tips suggestions please add anytime.

@@ravisampat Sure! And all the best to you! 👏

@@14doxxBoss, please answer following queries also as i am going this week 1. what was the temperature at night time 2. What kind of socks are required will ordinary socks do or wont ? 3. Can we go till Namche bazar without guide or not ?

@@Soliloquy_101 1. Cold obviously! At Gorakshep it went down to -18/-19 if I’m not wrong. But I’m sure you can manage it! 2. I used thermal socks. It manages moisture and holds warmth well, in my opinion. I think cotton socks will do good as well, but I have some sweat issues with them. 3. I think you can go all the way to base camp without a guide. Last year, Nepal announced a ban on solo trekking. But I think Everest Base Camp was an exception in that. Please do research and make sure before you go. And I wish you all the very best! Have fun

Thanks man! Your content is 🔥
