    Thanks Karl. Me being originally from Pokhara, Nepal but settled in London now for over 9 years, brought back the memories immensely.
    Have fun in October and good luck.

    Thank you for taking me on your journey. It felt like for a couple of minutes I was there.
    Can't wait for your follow up trip. Cheers!

    Cheers Karl, Where you were at 8:41 reminds me of New and Old Delhi from my visit in Oct 2014... an absolute overload on the senses, well put. I described New Delhi as being like time square NYC multiplied by 4 with the addition of RANDOM dogs, cows, and buffalo wandering around. I hope to travel, just finished Medical School in US so lots going on, but hoping I will get to do a world tour like you did before 30. Thank you for this, you inspire me to travel the world

    Just seen this and so glad I did as going to Pokhara myself next summer to teach English for 4 weeks. Again, a great video Karl, loving what I'm seeing. Won't be as adventurous and you and Chris as will have kids to teach, but sooooo looking forward to going. Can't wait to see you both actually make base camp in future videos! :) X

    I just love your sarcasim, it makes the vids. Who knew there was so much to do in Nepal other than just climbing Everest. So many activities and adventures that no one covers in other vids. Well done guys this was a fantastic trip just the same. Thanks so much to you both for keeping it real. 👍

    Karl your videos are awesome..so detailed!!! Just got back 4 weeks ago from Amazon to the Andes trekking in Peru with G Adventures after seeing your video ...Best experience ever!!! Now looking at Everest Base Camp for my next adventure. I can see by your comment below you managed to do the Base camp after all. Did Chris get the chance to do it this time? ....Looking forward to seeing the video!!!!. ...I must get to sleep..its 3.25 am and I have work in 4 hours :(

  • @ericeinarson6654
    @ericeinarson6654 9 років тому +4

    I'm no expert; but I think one of the best things to prepare you for high-altitude trekking would be regular, intensive exercise; things like bike riding or long distance running, to help improve your general fitness and increase your lung capacity.
    If you get the right drugs, acclimatise properly on the trek, and you're in good physical shape- you'll make it to Everest base camp, no problems at all. I plan on going to Nepal as well- but after the earthquake, I feel like the trip might be a few years in the future.

    • @ericeinarson6654
      @ericeinarson6654 9 років тому

      Bitter Truth That's odd- I've heard from all the trekking companies and guide books that the months of April-May and September are the best months for trekking in Nepal? They all seem to be very adamant about it being the best time?

    • @bittertruth4856

    Even though I’ve never had any dramatic experience like you did with the shoulder, if something doesn’t look safe I just don’t risk it, that’s just not fun, and travelling meant to be fun so totally get it why you bottled it up there. Shame you guys had to postpone the base camp but that’s what friends are for, glad that health improved and you were able to continue on having mini adventures in Kathmandu and lastly, yeah, that Evenrest flight was a bit disappoint for the money, but I guess I’d do the same if I didn’t know better 👍🏻Looking forward you watching part 3

    Hi Karl! Love your films. I just thought I would drop you a line to say that you are (were) not the only one to struggle reaching EBC. I have so far tried twice--the first time around, I did not have the time needed and had to return from below Ama Dablam, while on the second occasion, I got struck by the earthquake at the very same place... But I keep trying and will return to Nepal asap. Good luck to you, too! :-)

    • @JanKrupickaKrupier2
      @JanKrupickaKrupier2 9 років тому

      +Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries If I may suggest and you have the time, take a coach/shuttle to Jiri or Shivalaya. It takes six days longer to get to EBC than if flying into Lukla; however, in exchange, you get a totally different experience trekking where not that many other visitors go and you will be acclimatised much better than if climbing up straight to Namche B. Again, good luck and I will be crossing my fingers for you!

    @bibekadhikari4137 7 років тому

    Great video.... thanks for uploading on youtube. you said you were not happy with the mountain flight.... like you and your team expected it wasn't flown close to the Mount Everest. what i guess is may be this is because of the international boundary, the other side ( North Side) of the Mt. Everest is China and they ( airline/ flight crew) didn't have permission to fly too close to the border or cross the border to make a round circle of Everest. this is my guess only, i may be wrong. anyways, this is nice video. if you go to Nepal again, go for Rara Lake for trekking, Bheri river for white water rafting and Bardia National Park for wildlife resorts. All of these places are on Mid-western region of Nepal.

    What are your thoughts on using G Adventures for some of your trips? I'm starting to plan a trip next spring and was thinking about using them. I'd like to do a trip on my own and meet people on the way, and G Adventures seems like a good way to do that.
    And great videos by the way! It's tough knowing I probably won't be able to do all the trips, but this is such a better way to get a feel for certain places instead of looking at pictures and reading text! Thanks for letting us come on your adventures with you!
