Did my ebc trek last week..it is exhausting but worth all the views.All tips shared are spot on...One thing I would add is most hikes after lunch are steep so eat mindfully during lunch
Tip #27: use different route up and down, not just walk through Tengboche twice! There is a much more impressive high trail on the opposite side of the valley which goes via Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche, and this High Scenic Trail should be used on the way up, only coming down via Tengboche monastery. Idiotic to hike the same route twice when there is a better alternative available. Takes the same 2 days Namche to Dingpoche as the dusty Tengboche trail packed with tourists. Solitude, awesome views, lots of wildlife.
Yes that’s a very good point. Thank you for mentioning this. It will help others to decide if they want to explore the other route. I have heard that it’s really beautiful and scenic.
During the Everest Base Camp trek, tipping porters is a common practice. The standard rate is typically around $3-$5 USD per day per porter, so for a 12-14 day trek, it amounts to roughly $40-$70 USD per porter. Guides usually receive a higher tip, around $10-$15 USD per day. In our case, since we were a big group, we decided to tip $100 per person. We collected the total amount and handed it over to the porters at the end of the trek. There’s a clip in our video where we’re all sitting in a tea house, celebrating and giving a final speech as we present the collective tip. This moment captured the gratitude and camaraderie of the group as we completed our journey together.
@@agillkrish gpay and Phone pay does Not work there. The best is to get the currency converted from India. Check your card and see if it says u cannot pay foreign exchange in Nepal and Bhutan- means it won’t work. Big places Will be fine but lot of issues at small shops. Amex does not work at all.
Best ❤
Thank you !!

Video is far too fast. Who did it, a 14 year old with 90s tech?
@@JohnMcGarvey-r2j was making a quick quick. It’s not a documentary. But appreciate the feedback.
