    I also trekked to Everest Base Camp without taking a flight. It took me 12 days, from October 16th to 27th, 2022, to complete the EBC trek. Additionally, I successfully crossed Cho La Pass during that trek. This was my second trek, with my first being to Tsho Rolpa Lake.

    The Nepalese people make a living by being porters and guys for western trekers You should respect that and hire a porter and a guide.

      Agree. And it’s also unlawful to do it without a guide. I understand the courage it took to do this trip but it’s not ethical or responsible to share this trip without local Nepali services.

    15:13 the hotel owner is correct, a major portion from Namche to Tengboche is fairly flat followed by a steep incline. I was about to make the same mistake when I was there just a month back. There main trail is not there in maps.me. But hey, a missed trail is a great story ✌🏻

    Hi Flora, If I would be you trekking or hiking, I would avoid drinking tea.
    Pros of pure organic tea are: anti-infalmmatory, provides anti-oxidants and relaxes body temporarily (by opening up arteries)
    Cons of tea: Contains caffeine, which increases blood pressure, deprives sleep, increases heart beats or can cause irregular heart beats, shortness of breath, and is also bad for kidneys and liver etc. Many people get addicted to caffeine because when you stop taking it, migraines will hit you hard.
    Tea also contains tannins, which blocks absorptions of proteins (if consumed), iron, zinc and calcium. It also causes vitamin B1 defficiency, which in turn causes anxiety.
    Conclusion: If you must drink tea, do not drink just before or right after the meals (drink 2-3hrs later). Loose organic green tea is better than black tea because it contains less tannins. Also, if using tea bags, they must be bleach free. Only use purest water available to make tea. Drink tea in it's purest form as well (No milk, no additives, no herbs etc).

    I wonder why you chose to hike the usual Tengboche route as there is a much more impressive high trail on the other side of the valley. The Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche High Scenic Trail offers vastly more amazing views high across the valley, lots of wildlife and practically no other trekkers. Only come down via Tengboche, makes absolutely no sense to hike the same low trail twice when there is a superior alternative available. You did not even have a guide to force you (they have no imagination) and could have walked any better route you have available.

      @normantoth350 3 місяці тому

      No and diamox is only needed if you experience bad symptoms. For the vast majority of people the EBC trek is doable. Just prepare before and be fit, don’t push over your limit, go slow, acclimatize, stop and descend if you feel really bad, eat well and drink a lot of water, eat garlic a lot.
      I’ve done this trek twice and I can’t see any reason to take meds before the trek.
