Vicki Wong - Prepare yourself for culture-shock. Also be prepared to give up some of
your money to the 'young soldiers in red'...it is a given that you will not
traverse the passes without payment. I protested, to no avail. Watch out
for thieves...we had gear, clothing, and gifts stolen. We had
food-poisoning several times over five weeks. I can not begin to explain
the bathroom facilities. Showers are few and far between! Mostly cold
water! Prep for a shock! I highly recommend you purify your own water! The
mountains were Spectacular! Most people were friendly, some were resentful
of tourists. I wish you good luck should you choose to attempt this trek. I
was one day away from reaching base-camp, and I got high-altitude sickness,
and I had a brain bleed. You will need U.S. Cash should you need
evacuation! Lots!! We were advised we would need $9,000U.S. for a chopper
out. I walked out. If you feel any unusual symptoms at higher altitudes,
inform someone Immediately!! High Altitude Sickness can kill. GOOD LUCK
TREKKERS! :) P.S. Get the hell out of the way of the Yaks...they go through
anyone, or anything. Stay on the inside of the trail, Not the edge!!
Ruchetha Gp - very nice and informative.i didnt know d way 2 reach d basecamp but now i

Collin Coel - Informative, well-structured, high image quality.
Claudiu Cont - very nice video , well done ...
Sudhan Subedi - Such a nice presentation..really appreciable!!
Brad Mitchell - Took a trip up to Tengboche in 06, took stacks of pics and vids including
the lukla landing and take-off then lost them back in Kathmandu trying to
get them transferred to disk. Don't care though, the memory of this place
is way better!!!
ronniegeorge10 - I did this trek in 2012 - tone of the hardest things I have done,but one of
the best! Thanks for the memories!
joemanpjg - Picnic ends at Base camp....
G. Gurung - Beautiful and informative documentary.
English by Skype - Nice one! Slainte
Anthony Griffin - 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.

Mum Blic - As mentioned by many others, great video!
Martin Coronel - This is Amazing!
I'd like to climb mt. Everest, but I'll need some practice before.
Mel Preisz - Array
ronniegeorge10 - One thing, about the cakes, pastries etc. We were strongly advised NOT to
buy and eat them, as they have more than likely been on display for quite a
while, and can contribute to bad stomach upsets.
Pemarinji Sherpa - namche bazar.
Gordon Lang - Array
Alok Sunuwar - Great!
Anthony Griffin - 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.

Pok3rAc3AA - 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.
qin107 - By far the best video I could find.. You should add Base Camp in the title
as without it, it's a little misleading..

Satoru Yagi - Thanks a million! This video is the very best Trekking travelog I have ever
seen (Hundreds!), sceneries, narration, the course, best coverage.... 25
years ago, I tried the trekking of this route but I have given up for
health reasons after I got to Kathmandu. Since then I have studied
Himalaya, areas of Northern Pakistan, Andes, etc and seen many videos. I'm
very satisfied and happy that I could see this video.
netsolution84 - thanks for great video...
