  • Here's how I went trekking in Nepal - I booked the flights pretty spontaneously and visited between September - November last year. There are so many amazing treks to choose from in this beautiful country and it is the ULTIMATE place to get out there in the mountains! The people, the landscapes and the culture make it so special. We spent about £300 on a two week trek per person and that included all our food and all our accommodation (the food is a bit more expensive in the mountains than in the cities). Enjoy this wonderful place!

    Also, stretch first and during. Have someone you trust on the ready to call for search n rescue if you don't check in. Have an emergency location beacon on you. Research how much water you should be consuming for the conditions and test your gear before going on the long trek!

    What is this with shorts? Why are all the good channels (and yours id one of the best 🥰) churning out short videos all of a sudden? Do YT offer some sort of incentive?? Not moaning, just curious and know that Lost In Transit will give a straight answer.

    • @LostInTransit
      @LostInTransit  Рік тому +3

      Haha, thank you 😊
      UA-cam wants to become "The" platform for short form content, so to encourage people they are really pushing short form content. This means you can grow a lot faster. Also they have recently made it so you can earn money from shorts.
      For us it lines up quite nicely for us because I (Tom) edit the longer videos and Isabel often finds herself twiddling her thumbs, so she will be doing the shorts and I will stick to the normal ones.

      I do worry about you both though, as the constant work for content must be hard. If you were worried, I think you could probably take some time between "series" to avoid burnout and we'd all be here later.

      I guess it kinda depends if you are in the UK or Nepal. The “incorrect” way is just the British pronunciation, like with Chile or Mexico, both are spelt the same in English and their native languages but have different pronunciations. Just different pronunciations in different languages.

    This information is completely false!
    First off DO NOT go to a travel agent when in Kathmandu, as they will sell you overpriced ‘Tourist’ prices, in some cases take pretty much all your money, if you want to go trekking in Nepal, just go and do it, backpack, supplies, hiking shoes/boots, it really is that simple,
    Do not buy package deals, before or when your there, just go and meet people who are doing the same thing.
