This video is better than any documentary OR movie I've ever seen about Everest.
There is NO filler, no music, just the very real experience of what it's like once you get there, and how you get to base camp, and then to Summit. No spun psycho dramas along the way- just people, amazing views, 100% real.
Thanks to whoever made this. It was a TRUE joy to watch.
Agreed. Informative, talking is short and clear. A well documented video. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, very good video. I feel like I have been there now, all while sitting comfortably at home drinking coffee :-)
authenticity always beats style. Story over style as they say :)
Cool comment! Except there is music in the video lol it fits so well he didn't remember it
I tend to agree. Full of useful information
Did it and would do it again. The most beautiful place on earth. The people are even better!!
how many starving kids in africa could you have fed for 50,000?
@@Graymenn wow love you my village
@@Graymenn very well said... This asshole spent 50k to climb a mountain, should have donated to poor people...
Who said anything about 50,000 mabey he trekked to base camp like this woman...
@@Graymenn not everybody continues onto Everest, sweetpea
I get very bad altitude sickness. I couldn't even make to base camp. Amazing to see people doing this stuff.
thank you...its because of this i did Everest Base Camp...and of course i cannot forget the small planes.......i have trek to many places.......but none can match base camp......
Wow 8 years ago. This video becoming historical video now
Thank you world for showing love toward my country Nepal ❤️❤️
Thank you. I flew into basecamp last year by helicopter and spent a very short time there. The landing in Lukla was crazy and the actual spot of the bottom of base camp...18,000 feet up was even way crazier. huge respect for every one who has made it or died trying.
How much did it cost by Helicopter?
Love this video. Ive done this trek in 2017. I was 29 years old. Daily weed and cigarette smoker. Didn’t do any sports beside cycling to my work. I managed to do this trek quite easy. Take into consideration we live below sea level in Amsterdam. The 2nd hike day to Namche felt heavy. I had to get used to the steep walk. And from there on I went like a diesel. Ive seen elder and obese people do this trek. If you ever consider this hike. You wont regret it. Spiritually and emotionally this journey has changed me for the better.
Thanks..I'm thinking of doing it but nervous I wont be young and fit enough
@@clarebear321 8 hour trek per day
No real interest in climbing Everest but I love the lodges with their wood panelling and basic services. They're so beautifully basic that I would love to just hang out in a quiet town or village for a week and enjoy the local lifestyle.
If you want to stay away from the 'centipedes' (the meandering groups of trekking parties who seem to watch the person in front's head as much as the mountains) then instead of stopping at Phakding - at least if you're solo as I was, or trekking as a couple - keep on for another hour or so and stay at the little house next to the waterfall that crashes onto the path. It's called the Inn next to the Waterfall or somesuch and is a single family home with a few rooms tacked on. If you then start off at sunrise, you should be able to avoid the clumped together groups of organised trekking parties and reach Namche for lunchtime. This means you can get a choice of room/bed before the guided tours catch up around mid-afternoon. This pattern served me well on two treks. Also, it means you can spend the afternoon climbing up to a point a few hundred metres higher and enjoying the views and then going back down to sleep. Sleeping at a lower elevation than you've reached each day is beneficial. If you're in a group though, you won't start walking until 9am or so and won't reach your next destination until mid-late afternoon. GREAT VIDEO THIS, BY THE WAY. Just trying to add a few tips. Be generous, it's cheap enough and good karma always helps! Try and take a box of pens or pencils or copy books to give to local schools - always a welcome gift.
What the heck is a "copy book?"

wow, your so lucky to have seen such awesome places as these
You know, it’s a much richer experience in every way if, instead of flying to Lukla you walk from Jiri. It’s an extra 7 days each way (good to walk out as well) though I’ve done namche to jiri in 3 long days (or it might have been 4). By walking from the road head you’ll traverse the Newari region before heading north into Sherpa country, passing through a series of beautiful villages and countryside without the discomfort you’ll have from namche onwards. This gives you a chance to really enjoy the remote, friendly, fascinating, far less commercialised foothills and ease your way into the high alp. I’ve done this trek several times and for me, the section up to namche is all pleasure; from namche upwards it’s all pain; it’s cold, hard going and a bit unpleasant though I hasten to add it’s also utterly breathtaking.
Although I’ve always wanted to go up high each time - it has a pull - in a strange way I’ve never really enjoyed being up around dingboche or Pheriche. I imagine this is even more the case if your not yet mountain fit or acclimatised, whereas by doing the long walk in you’ll have climbed several very big hills which we’d call mountains in the uk each day and almost no matter how out of shape you were starting out, you’ll be in much better shape by namche. On more than one occasion I’ve seen people stroll into namche who, six days earlier thought they wouldn’t even make it through the next day.
On a last note, I’ve never seen the point of going to BC, because neither will you. That’s a bad pun on the fact that you won’t see the summit from BC. Kala Pattar is a decent close up viewpoint but a bit grubby so if you really want to feel the power and have awesome views, go instead to Gokyo Ri in the Gokyo valley. You’ll feel like you’ve actually climbed something, albeit it’s easy and still just a hill, but at least it’s a pretty one.
Bottom line - if you really want to go to Everest but are wondering if you still have it in you, just do it. You’ll be fine. You’ll suffer, but you’ll do so gladly (or at least tell yourself that afterwards).
Thank you so much, comments like that really are what make it all worthwhile.
Hi after 7 year's
No shaky cameras, no wohooo's, absolutely informative and brilliant captures of the beautiful Mt Everest and the surrounding areas, now i exactly know what i am up for when i am do this trek. Thank you so so much
The best video of Base Camp trek I’ve seen. It’s amazing to see the same places we stayed. What memories,
Just getting to basecamp sounds like an accomplishment in itself.
I had a friend conquer Everest almost 2 years ago. He said it was a ONCE in a lifetime adventure.
No one CONQUERS Everest or any other mountain. The mountain is there before and after the climb. It has not been defeated. It does not care who survives the summit or dies trying.
I did this trek in 2012 - tone of the hardest things I have done,but one of the best! Thanks for the memories!
why dont you come again
This is the best video on basecamp I've found here on RUclips. By far. Very informative, straight to the point. And with none of that annoying synth music that's become common in vlogs. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking me on a journey I'll never make... but would like to.
Same here mate..
Never say never 😉
Very informative. Thanks for taking pain for making such an impressive video and sharing with all.
hello sir
Shut the fuck up....from india
Hey I loved this video. I had always wondered what the trek into Everest was like....your video is very well put together and very informative! Thanks for sharing!
I love this woman’s voice, clear as a bell with a nice accent. The music is nice it compliments the beautiful views. I have to stop binge watching Mt Everest videos, with each additional one I feel drawn to visit this part of the world to trek or attempt to climb to one of the base camps to see if I have it in me to make the challenge. There is something a bit crazy in our minds that makes you want to see how much you and your body can take, Everest has to be the ultimate test. Is it just me or does everyone feel that way?
excellent just so detailed and gave feeling of i have just been there
Did this in "93". Great to see it all again. Thanks for the vid.
Sent to friends as a pleasant memory of our trek from Lukla to Tengboche in 1996.
I think it would be cool to ONLY do the treks from village to village and not even try to climb Mt Everest. I would be very proud of myself jsut for having walked such distances especially since I'd be walking 'up" and have to adjust to the increasing lack of oxygen. Maybe MORE people should just do this "walk", without bothering to climb Everest. You couldjust be proud of the "fitness" it took without risking your life and the life of others. The quiet and the scenery would be amazing.
That is what I was thinking. I actually am considering just doing this and checking out the views of the Himalayas and Everest.
It would be an accomplishment on it's own !
Exactly! Good point
In 1998 I walked in from Jiri (the real end of the road!) until I reached Lukla 14 days later, then followed this route, apart from at Dingboche, where I went down along the valley floor and stayed at Pheriche instead. I last went to Everest in 1999 (and flew in to Lukla which is always a flight to remember!) and I am quite horrified looking at this video (which itself is great!) by how commercial places such as Namche and even Tengboche Monastery have become. Still, this is one of the few times of the year and one of few ways that the Sherpa have to make any money so it's understandable (and easy for me as a foreigner to comment upon). Sadly, Khatmandu too has changed and is now a place for (comparitively) rich tourists. Sadly but also inevitably, since everyone has to make a living, I think the emptiness and beauty I saw in the villages may well now be gone altogether, replaced with tourist shops, bakeries, pizzerias and internet cafes. Still, at least the mountains remain unchanged.
your quite right, my first time in nepal was 1992, been three times , last in 2015, Thamel changed! too many young people looking for party central & no respect to tradition etc, best to go solo than in a group, hopefully I can get back when I'm 70! another 5 years away!

Hi I am Nirmal from Nepal. I have been running my trekking agency (Himalayan Magic Adventure) since 1994. I have been organizing Everest Base Camp trek for 25 years. Email me at n2@vianet.com.np if I can help you in any ways regarding your trek/trip in Nepal
I hiked in from Lamasangu in 1981. The road to Jiri was just getting started. Got to Kala Patar and headed back to Lukla to fly back. No lodging at all on the way, one stayed with families that had an extra room and food, mostly Dal Bat (beans and rice). It was winter and many were stranded at the airport for weeks waiting for the snow to melt. At that time the "runway" was just an unpaved grass field. Sirens sounded to clear the yaks off the field so the planes coming in wouldn't hit them.
DANIYAH BANYAMYAN BAARA what was that supposed to mean..? Trying to be smart by being sarcastic...? Really...?
I loved this video and commentary - it brought back many memories. Thank you so much for posting it.
This video has now enlightened me into what I face ahead of me in November 19 its definitely not a walk in the park far from it a daunting trek with lots of strenuous parts to overcome at high altitude but dream is to get there and back safely and with good memories and photos to cherish for life.
Thank you for this video. It is very concise and has excellent photography.
Terrific and informative video. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Love it!! My son and his friend are doing this trek now so it's given me an insight into where they are.
Informative, well-structured, high image quality.
One of the best and most informative videos on this subject. Well done. Excellent clear commentary 👍
Great video, thanks. It helps me with my trip planning
A great video for anyone seriously considering going and would help those on how to prepare. Obviously made in 2012, the main change being the numbers of people can be up to 200 people a day in good conditions attempting to climb through the summit. Loved this.
Excellent video and really informative commentary. Thank you!
This a very helpful video. Thank you so much for making this video
Have just done the trek to Base Camp November 2013 and loved it. This clip is a good overview of what to expect if you're planning a trek - feeling nostalgic already ... thanks for sharing !
What was the weather in november?
Thanks!
Thanks for your beautiful places documentary vidio information and sweet voice then good jobs
thank you for sharing quite a detailed piece of information
best video ever of trekking from lukla to basecamp !!!! congratulations !!!!
Watching this video in 2023.. Best video even after 10 years
Well structured video...and very informative
This is great. Beautiful images too.
As mentioned by many others, great video!
This is by far the most accurate and beautiful video on RUclips about the trek and the region. I watched this so many times before I was blessed to make the trip in October 2019. If you are watching this you are curious. Go a step further and do it! You owe it to yourself, it is a trip of a lifetime and you owe it to yourself! No words can describe the beauty,peace and escape which can be found here. I want to go back........
Ancient philosophies are created because of these mountains
Thanks for this. My son & I are trekking to base camp in 2021 and this clearly illustrates the terrain and habitat we will encounter on the way.
Brings back great memories. Thanks.
One of the best videos I've seen.
Loved the video, very well done. Really enjoyed it, thank you!
Excellent, well made video. Interesting, straightforward, factual, useful, good commentary and well shot. A pro video and a nice antidote to all those 'extreme' videos with screeching rock-music in the background
Excellent job on this video! Thanks for giving us this great footage and perspective.
Fantastic video! Simple yet perfect
Lots of things have changed on everest. Ita developed now without harming nature. People can easily find rooms and best of service as a good hospitality.
Great video! I was able to see the route our kids took last week. Watching this gave me some better insight into what they were experiencing.
Travelling to Base Camp then summiting Kala Patthar in November of this year. This video was very informative and a good prod that I should maybe hit the gym a bit more often!
Stunningly beautiful video. Memories for life. Miss that place!
Thank you so much for this video it was so informative and comforting for us mom's in the homeland!
Wow unbelievably beautiful. Thank you
Awesome video..especially so much in detail regarding the everest basecamp trekking. Amazing documentary very nice..
The Best Video about Everest Base Camp Trek. Thank you!!!
Thank you very much for this superb video.
I REALLY enjoyed your video. No stupid music or effects. Thank you so much for letting me go along on a trip I'll never get to take.
Wonderful commentary.
Thank you for sharing this. I am fascinated with the journey to Everest. So interesting and well done!
thanks for great video...
I am doing the Everest Base Camp Trek in October of this year and I must say this video has been by far the best with giving me the information I need. Thank-you so much.
Buddy, share this with everyone you encounter: I ordered a 2oz bottle of pure Anise oil from the Safeway pharmacy. No prescription needed. I don't climb mountains, but I DO have breathing problems. I also have 3 different and expensive inhalers that simply don't work as well as anise oil for treating both breathing issues and nausea. 6-8 good dabs or so on an open paper towel and then folded up and put in a plastic baggie is all you need for this. Fennel, anise or licorice oil work the same. Anise is the strongest. I pray you go safely and come back the same. If climbers realized the simple and incredible benefits of this natural oil, I believe that it might have saved some lives, or at least have lessened the effects from both mountain sickness and the inability to breathe easier. It's a small investment. Please let me know if you tried it and if it worked for you. I stand by this measure 100%
Be safe, my friend.~
beautiful informative video . i enjoyed lot
This is great..thanks for sharing....
Thank You so much.I totally liked it and i think this is one of the best short and informative documentary based on Everest Base Camp Trek.
thanks again ;)
Really excellent and informative summery of the journey and invaluable for one contemplating the EBC trek. Thank you.
Such a nice presentation..really appreciable!!
thank you so much for sharing this info.
Fantastic! Very informative!
Thanks for a wonderful video. Quiet informative video.
The best video on Everest I have ever seen in my life.
The greatest travel experience of my life! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video. We are planning to do this trip next year so it is very helpful to see the places we'll be going.
Great this. One of the best thx. 👍🇬🇧
My wife and I did this October 2018. Absolutely magnificent trek. And this is the BEST video on the trek. Everything you need to know is found in this video. I'm glad I watched it before we went, and as you can see, I'm watching it again and again. Thank you very much.
This is amazing. I would never want to try to climb a mountain, but it would be awesome to go to a place like this and just hang out for a while. That is some rugged terrain.
wow! this video just released the tension i had and make me calm
A detailed well explained video. I have heard of the trek to Base Camp but this video 8s by far the best I have seen.
Great video. Best I've seen on Everest treks.
Than you for sharing such a detailed video
Thanks , very nicely put together.
Made the trek to Base Camp in 2006 and loved it so much I went back again three years later.
Why doesn't this have more views?! That was brilliant!
very nice and informative.i didnt know d way 2 reach d basecamp but now i got it.ty n now i can start my expedition to 'EVEREST'
great! thanks a lot for providing this.
In Jan. '76 I trekked from Lukla to Base Camp by myself. Each village had one hut for trekkers to sleep in. Some days I didn't see anyone.
best everest video ever
Good video and doc. reminded me of trek we did in oct/ nov 2011 to base camp . p.s. we got stranded at lukla for one week due to mist , it reminded me of slieve donard !!!
A brilliant video that gives you a great idea of what it is like to trek to basecamp
Thanks Manny
This is the most informative video I have seen on this particular trek. Thank you
i have been searching for this type of documentary of everest. this is the best one.
Great video! I would love to go there and visit the town
such a beautifully explored video with all details...thankyou for showing our beautiful himalaya to the world....welcome everyone to explore the highest peak of world and many more.....🙏
12:59 I can see the Sandugo sticker on the window of the Everest Restaurant at Dingboche. Sandugo is the most popular Filipino outdoor gear brand and can be found most shopping malls in the Philippines!
Beautiful and informative documentary.
It was 25 years ago that i first made this trek into the Khumbu. It was refreshing to watch this video. It took hours to get from one point to another...but each second of the journey was a visual treat!!! Thanks for the memories...the video was done very well...and Namaste!
Wow ,, must have been real tough in 1990s to trek upto there.
Hi Folks, Best video on RUclips. Thanks, Jay
