That woman who had to turn back should look at it this way-there are a hell of a lot of people who are blinded by ambition who end up getting killed or killing others in the process, and the fact that she has the wisdom to put her obviously very strong desires on hold shows how strong she really is. What she did was not fail to make the journey. She triumphed in overcoming desire and ambition, and choosing to turn back got her closer to "enlightenment" than the people who get to the end of the trip.
Utter nonsense. You must admit cowardice my friend. Admit abject failure. Accept and deal with the shame of defeat
missanna
Well said, I totally agree.
@@PetraKann so your saying that you would hike the largest mountain in the world where without sure footing death is inevitable on a sprained ankle....yea ok 👌
@@PetraKann Serous mountain climbers know when to turn back and it is not cowardice, just good sense. There was no shame and defeat. As Ed Viesturs put it, going up is optional, coming down is not.
God bless you, " Hank and Brian " Your story brought tears to my, " Eyes " Shalom! 💥
so glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful accomplishment. Thanks for taking us along and providing us with two perspectives, not just one. I made it in 2015 and planning to return in 2022 when I turn 80. Thanks again for your excellent video.
so glad you enjoyed it
This is my first ever youtube comments. You guys made me give One. “Dont know why. But it was nice watching you guys “😊👍🏽
Glad you liked it!
Deepak Tk it’s an amazing vid. I love it and watched it so many times
@@deeparana3660 you're beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you for this very candid and enjoyable video journal of your trek, and the memories of your father, whose spirit was with you every step of the way.
Glad you enjoyed the film, Edward -- and thank you for your thoughtful words.
Thank you both for sharing your trek. It was heartwarming and wonderful to see brothers achieving their quest.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
When two loving brothers, good people, make a video, that must be a good one. Congratulations!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I did this in 2013, brings back awesome memories watching this, great video guys, your dad would deffo have been looking down on you, well done, and respect to your late father.
thanks so much! very happy you enjoyed the video!
One of the best videos I have seen so far. Honest, natural and heartwarming. I'm doing this trip in 40 days time. Cant wait
Thanks so much, David! I hope you have a fantastic trip in Nepal. If you have any planning questions, let me know! -Hank
I did this trek in 2017 at the age of 60. I did it with intrepid travel with a group of 16. I had never done any hiking anywhere so didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. Everyone I asked just said it was great so I thought what the heck. From lukla and back we were allotted 13 days. Only 1 of our group did not complete the trek. I am happy to say that I did complete it. I won’t say I didn’t complain but the experience was like nothing else I had ever done in my life time and I’m really glad I did it. I love watching your video brings back great memories. Good on you guys doing it on your own.
hi, christine! glad you liked the video so much, and congrats on making it to EBC! it's an incredible trip. we complained too, obviously. :)
What a great adventure you guys had done. This is life. One day I will also be going there. Thanks for this video. You guys are very humble. Keep exploring.
Thanks, Nilu! Glad you enjoyed the video. We have trips and videos planned for the future, I promise!
Thanks brothers for taking me all throughout the Valleys and towns of that corner of the world, the Everest region, and The Sagarmattha National Park.
so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your amazing story with us.
Your dad will be very proud of you's two brothers.
I might have cried few times watching this video when the lady from australia couldn't manage to reach everest base camp, then the story about your dad and the bond between you two brothers.
I thought climbing ben nevis in scotland was very hard but looking at your trek esp withought any guides and potters hats off to you.
Namaste and dhanyabad 😊
What's a Potter?? Did you mean Porter??!!
grgamrit I totally agree. I’ve cried watching this too. Xxxx
thank you so much for watching! so glad you liked the story of our journey. and yeah, we'd love to get to scotland at some point too. it's on my list. namaste.
Thank you very much. I'm signed up to to undertake the trek April 2025 just after I retire in late 2024. A very heart warming and determined trek you both undertook.
I hope you enjoy it -- it's an amazing trip, if you can tolerate the altitude!
Whenever i feel like life doesn't make sense anymore, i watch this video and dream about next year when I'm doing the trek myself... You guys are amazing, thank you for the positive energy!
thank you so much for the kind words! can't wait to hear about your own trip!
Woo, what a video and presentation. I am full of such admiration for both of you and thank you for sharing your experience.
Lately I've watched and read a ton of stories about alpinism, climbing and mountaineering from Reinhold Messner to Alex Honnold, and all kinds of heroic feats of humanity. And yet, I gotta admit your "simple" story was a highlight for me and among the most captivating to follow. I guess, because you are regular hikers like the rest of us, and yet you pushed yourselves by having no help on this high altitude trip, you suffered and overcame difficult challenges and made your adventures very inspirational for everyone. I salute you, brothers!... THE YAKS ARE COMING!!!
Hi! This is a very nice compliment -- I really appreciate it. I think Free Solo, The Dawn Wall, Meru, are incredible films that everyone into adventure movies should watch. But, that said, I also agree that only so many of those kinds of movies can be made, and I think there's lots of other space for more subtle, normal-people stuff, and I glad you appreciated this for that reason. If you have any questions about how to plan this trip, let me know! -Hank
I actually loved this video!!! You guys are adorable! Great job sticking it out! Amazing accomplishment :)
Thanks so much. Glad you liked it!
How cool and brave was Janelle 🙌 love watching this, really got a feel of the landscape and towns.
Thanks Deanne! So glad you liked it. Yeah, Janelle was so cool. I wish I had her contact info so I could send her a link to the video!
I've watched so many EBC videos and yours is the best. I appreciate that you showed all aspects and didn't make it seem like an easy long walk. Also love you and your brother's humor. When he said hi to the Nepali guy who ignored him, the egg sandwich and the frozen socks....🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Have watched your JMT vid countless times and only just realised you have loads more - great stuff guys, much love from aus
Glad you like them!
One of the best EBC documentary for sure...Truly inspirational, informative & motivational
thank you! so glad you liked it
It was an amazing video. Really like the way you both presented it and also how you took it forward to ebc.
Thanks, Sabdar! Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the Great EBC documentary...loved watching every second of this. ❤
wow, thanks! so happy you liked it!
This is amazing, we did Everest base camp trek -8 days which is the shortest and cheapest itinerary for all kinds of travelers. Had an amazing trip of a lifetime with a group!
Sitting here in Lukla getting ready to head off on this trek with the wife and kids. Found the video very valuable. Especially since you guys did it without Porter and guide. We are attempting to do the same thing. Thanks for putting this together.
Good luck, and have fun!
Thanks leukart family for visiting nepal. We rally enjoyed your adventure.
You guys are really nice.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Brothers. I will go there with my Sons. Thank you
thank you for watching! i hope you have a great trip. if you have any planning questions, let me know!
Heartfelt, funny, dramatic, instructive, up-lifting. Excellent camera work and editing. The photo slideshow at the end has some amazing pictures. The storyline including the passing of your father adds to the emotion of your accomplishment. I am going to do this trek in March/2020 and this is overall the best video I have found online portraying how it really feels. Thanks also for the packing list video. Keep traveling, have fun in your future adventures. Great work with this one. Cheers
Thanks for the nice review, Andre. We've working on a John Muir Trail one too, coming soon! I hope you have a great trip when you go in March, and if you have any questions about preparing for the trip, let me know. Oh, there's also a Nepal Three Passes video on my channel which adds Gokyo, Chukking, and more to the EBC for a much larger circuit, if you're interested in that. ua-cam.com/video/hL0aW5WOVVs/v-deo.html It's a bigger challenge but the views are incredible.
I absolutely loved this video. Thanks so much for taking us along. I couldn't help thinking about the distant shots of you guys having to trek back to fetch your camera gear. Just incredible! Kudos to both of you, what an accomplishment! Wishing you best on your next adventures!
Thanks so much, Mark! Yeah, we did a LOT of extra hiking to retrieve our camera all the time. We plan on more adventures! We did the John Muir Trail recently and that video is on its way!
One of the most privileged video to watch with details and forget those marathon people, you guys are a Diarrhoea Nutters, not just a mad as the lady mentioned. Sad to hear about your dad but keep your one foot up for the next hike ...good on you both ! " A Glance from Reading, UK "
thank you -- glad you enjoyed the video!!
Luuk:" the locals are very kind....namaste"
Local: ignores him
Luuk" uhm...."
one of my fav parts
Matthijs van Emous May be he wasn’t English speaker or he didn’t realised that they were talking to him.
the local did not ignore him! the guy w fro is just so timid and awkward that the local didn't notice he was addressing him. I promise you.
Hi guys. I'm from Brazil and I've just watched your video about this trek. It was amazing and this is exactly what I want to do after this pandemia crisis. You helped me to inspire to do this trek so soon. I'm going to read all the articles to get more information about it and especially the best season to do it. Thank you a lot for the incredidble images. Congretulations!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video! If you have any questions about planning your trip, let me know. It's a great adventure!
Thank you so much for your time. I'm very fun of mountains and I have some experience here in Brazil, trekking in Rio de Janeiro, but nothing compares to yours, of course. I want to now everything like for exemple: the best season, is necessary to have a time before to acclimate, how much money can be involved once I'm going alone. Is it really necessary a guide, in my case, for example? I'll have all the time to do that with no worries, and I even think to have a volunteer program named "worldpackers" to help me more. I want to know the more I can from you.Thank you so much and saty safe.
best season is probably sept-oct, though the weather is clearer i think in nov-dec (but it's much colder). yeah, you need to be very careful about acclimatization because the altitudes are so high. you'll either need to hire a guide or read a detailed guidebook to make sure you follow a hiking schedule that gives you enough time to acclimatize. You can see the itinerary we used here: withoutbaggage.com/mission-everest/ A guide can help to make sure you do everything correctly in terms of altitude, make sure you don't get lost, help you get out of bed in the morning, and always make sure you have a place to sleep that's convenient. But we did it without a guide and it worked out fine -- we just read a lot of stuff and a guidebook in advance to make sure we were doing it right. Hope that helps! -Hank
@@HankLeukart Thank you so much. I can't wait to do that. I hope to see you on my FB, because I want to mention you there. Stay safe!
@@HankLeukart Mate, I'm curious to hear from you about clthing, yeah clothing for high altitude. once I live in São Paulo and the prices here are really high, do you recoemd to purchase warm clothes there once the prices there a lower then here? At least that's what I think. So, I'd like to hear from you that. Thank you and stay safe!.
Nice to hear your perspective of this amazing trekking. It reminds me my time there in 2014. feeling good most of the time, except the day we were suppose to get Everest base camp. I felt an amazing strong head ache ever. cried in pain. My guide was amazing to help me to get better, with his support and my desire to be there in the base camp I made it.
Nice to see your brotherhood. All best travels to you...
Just a small observation: Most of the time people don't have food poising. Remember your whole body system are exposed to altitude and that changes everything in your body, including the number and reaction of your own "good bacterias" that lived in your body forever. They are good friends of yo, by the way. Your whole intestine and stomach process changes in altitude. That's why, as well, some people get diarreia and nauseas.
Of course, the conditions prevent us to have our own higiene as our body system are used too. That ,as well, can play a part on how we may feel there. Then we have the difference in spices, you may be allergic to some.
plus, yes, in some occasion we can have, as anywhere in the world, food poising. We know that may happen, that why we go all prepared to that.
The whole EXPERIENCE is what it counts. The contact with the Nepalese people, their culture it worth all, of course being there in those mountains make us really feel the presence of GOD. Our love and mind is there forever.
Great video. Thank you for visiting Nepal! Namaste!!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
My brother and I are taking this trek in 2 months from now. Love your video! Very excited for this trek.
Good luck, Craig! I hope you guys have a fantastic adventure.
@@HankLeukart Thanks Hank! We leave in 3 weeks now. April 9th! Excited and nervous at the same time.
how was it?!
Well guys, i've watched this & taken every second in. You've created something very special here & not only in your adventure to Everest Base Camp, but as bonded brothers.
Fantastic & truly inspirational.
It's always been something i've wanted to do & I can't think of a better feeling, than doing it with a family member or close friend.
All the very best to you both.
Wow, thank you! We appreciate it!
This was my 2nd time watching this video and I enjoyed it this time as much now as I did the first time. I have watched numerous Everest base camp treks whose scenery was as good as this video but that had no narration. Without narration one is only getting part of the story. I liked the historical information that was given, I loved seeing the accommodations, the food, how the living conditions impacted their journey, and I really like how the trip was presented to the viewer. This may well be one of my very favorite Everest trekking videos. Thanks to the brothers for making it and for sharing it.
Hi, Chuck! I'm so glad you liked our film! Hopefully we'll have more to come.
Amazing endeavor guys. Heading to EBC in 2 weeks and your parting shot just gave me the will to persevere now, being ill not being able to train and exerting more perseverance on the adventure
You’ll do great. Have fun!! If you just keep walking and adhere to an acclimatization schedule, you’ll make it.
Thanks Hank for sharing your movie, I find an important part of trecking/traveling is the people and the stories they share,enriching our experiences. You captured that by bringing other peoples stories of successes and fails which in turn, felt like we were on the journey with you.Also the bedroom scene was important as the conversation set up the daily challenges you (and we all ) face,it's very relatable and gain our empathy. Awesome stuff!
Thanks, Paul. Glad you liked all the filming we did for this -- it was so fun talking to people we met along the way. My Camino video also has a bunch of people we met along the way, but it can be sometimes be hard to work to get random people on camera, and I hate to intrude on their trips-of-a-lifetime too much.
This was an excellent video, unfortunately I wish that it had been longer. Great video scenery, excellent narration and dialog, great cultural and logistical information. Loved the accommodations and food segments, liked seeing someone not feeling well on a trip like this (unlike other EBC videos where nobody is shown getting sick). Note to all - Cipro is a miracle drug.
Your video was entertaining , very enjoyable, and I like your sense of humor. I also like that you brought a game with you to use as an ice breaker. The two of you seem like a couple of nice guys who would be a lot of fun to travel with. Thanks for sharing and good luck in your future outings.
Thanks for the kind words, Chuck! Glad you liked the video! The bad news is that we did try taking broad-spectrum antibiotics while we were there to get better faster, but in the Khumbu Valley there were bugs with resistance to the antibiotics, so they didn't help. We felt way better on the way down though, probably partly due to the increase in oxygen and partly due to the stomach bug subsiding. If you like watching our disastrous trips, you must also like our Superstition Wilderness video... that one is also full of our incompetence. :)
Great stuff, was like a home movie come documentary. Felt humbled & privileged to share your experience - dotted with humour, historical info' & poignant philosophical words. I liked your reflections as to the whys & wants of doing things like this - carpe diem. I'm ready to arrange EBC during the next few days for spring 2019. I share a lot of my experiences of bush craft living & canoe wild camping on my YT channel so it was really good to sit back & watch someone else for a change do their thing so thanks. All the best guys & safe travels in the great outdoors. Cheers!!
Really enjoyed the video guys! So great to have done such an amazing trek with your brother! Namaste!!
thank you -- so glad you liked it!
Great video. Interesting commentary, wonderful photography, and excellent audio. This is so much better than most of the other video logs I have viewed. You should (and will I'm sure) have 10 times the number of views in no time at all.
I have thought about doing this myself, although I am 58. That's why I got a kick out of how amazed you were to find a 53 year old woman doing the hike.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video. You should definitely do the trek if you're feeling up to it and interested! It's a great experience.
That was such a sick and inspiring video! Thank you for all the information😇 much love ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Apparently you're not familiar with the alternate high trail which goes from Mong La to Photse and then Pangpoche. Many big name agencies have started to use that on the way up, for better views, empty trails and a lot of wildlife. Also the first Dingpoche acclimatisation night can be replaced by a scenic hike to Ama Dablam Base Camp and staying there for one night before continuing to Dingpoche. Same altitude both, so no extra risks and no time penalty. There is on lodge at Mingbo pasture few hundred meters south from ADBC.
Hello chaps,
I msut say that I did enjoy your video. But I have to say how amazed I am by the nievaty of most american travellers.
haha, well, we did make this almost 10 years ago, so maybe we were a little dumber then? 😂 glad you liked it though.
What a amazing adventure, very inspiring, educational, and fun to watch. Hollywood could learn something from you and your brother on how to make a decent adventure movie, thanks again Hank and Brian!
Thank you, thank you for sharing with us such an inspirational video...Love from Singapore!
Thanks, Damon. Glad you enjoyed it.
Super great. This was the best video of hiking from Lukla to BC that I’ve seen and I’ve watched many (hiked at Annapurna last year). You guys are blessed. Wish you two all the best. Your dad did a great job.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm dying to do Annapurna. Maybe we'll get to it soon!
Amazing video , great editing. I don't think I can do it, but it was great travel vicariously through you guys. Thanks for sharing
Ive watched a slew of base camp trek videos...you guys are the best I've yet seen.
Thanks, Gary! Glad you liked it! Check out my Nepal's Three Passes video too if you have a chance!
With this on my bucket list, inspired, great effort and well done not solely for the achievement, but also making a really great record of it.
Hey, Jules! Thank you! I hope you get a chance to do the trip. If you have any questions, let me know!
Love this video. This is definitely on my list. Thank you for showing what it’s like without a guide.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Im going to have to watch this again since I enjoyed it so much. I, too, love to travel and the sense of humor both of you guys have coming across the strange/funny crazy things had me laughing out loud several times. Its what makes traveling awesome. And thank you for putting the elevation at each town. Its very helpful. Its great that you and your brother do this. Your dad would be proud.
glad you enjoyed it! we're about to upload a john muir trail video together too!
Thank you guys.....very informative....I'll be there in September 2022!! Very stoked!!....thanks again!! D
Our pleasure! if you have any questions, let me know, and let me know how your trip goes!
To bad you guys were not feeling well , this was amazing , thank you very much !
Glad you enjoyed the video -- and we're feeling much better now, thanks! :)
@@HankLeukart you are most welcome !
Well done lads. Very nice video. Nice production. Not overblown with a good balance of positivism and hardships.
Thanks, Mark! Happy you appreciated our style. Are you planning on doing the trip?
excellent film! thank you for sharing your adventures!
Thanks -- glad you liked it!
My biggest dream is .. summit the Everest....., And the first step is experiencing the base camp treck.... , So thanks for the information and total picture of the journey... Thanks bros.....
Glad you liked the video!
Hats off to you both for trekking without a guide!
Thank you!
you guys are cool, and the videos are clearly presented. I like the music and your explanation. and I'm goring to trek ebc on the next month. hope I can make it like you.
thanks so much! i hope you had a great trip to EBC and took some good photos!
@@HankLeukart yeah, I made it on Oct.2018. best hiking experience in my life.
Thought I’d watch some of these videos ahead of my 2020 summit attempt, always gets me in the mood for when I go back, god my feet hurt already. 😀 It’s been Emotional well done lads
Hi Andrew! So glad you enjoyed it, and good luck with your summit attempt. I'm jealous!
Congratulations to you both for an amazing journey.
Me and my wife flew last year from Khatmandu to Base Camp in a helicopter. Stopped at Lukla Airport on the way there. The views through those valleys and mountains were exhilarating and out of this world.
Would encourage anyone pressed for time should do the helicopter ride and not by those tourist plane.
thank you for watching! your trip sounds amazing. yes, our helicopter ride was definitely one that i'll remember forever.
You guys are so adorable and inspiring!!! wonderful video!!
Haha, thanks a lot, Courtney :) Glad you liked it!
Great video and super accomplishment, I have been to Kathmandu and loved the experience of Nepal and after watching your video and the others hikers who endured the hike to Everest abase Camp, at 66, I have such an exhilarating feeling to want to share in your experience of accomplishment...btw, I have the same cd of the chanting at the end of your video.... I play it often to calm down from the BS of NYC stress...
haha, i'm listening to the om mani padi hum right now to relax. :) thanks for watching -- so glad you enjoyed the video. and yeah, Nepal is a wonderful place. i'd love to go back.
Loved watching your trek and the realities of what you experienced along the way on your own especially getting sick and how you dealt with it. Must have been brutal.
Thank so much! Glad you liked the video. Yeah, getting sick was no fun, but the trip was still fantastic. By the time we started heading back down to Lukla, we felt a LOT better.
Thank you again. Stay healthy and blessed always
Thank you! Glad you liked the video!
Awesome Video!!!!!!I am out of Breath just watching you guys!!!! I hiked Mt. Whitney in CA that was about 14,000 feet... the highest I have ever been... can't imagine 18,000 feet! That's some thin air!
Hey, Justin! Glad you enjoyed the video. And yeah, the high altitude is the thing that makes the Everest Base Camp and Three Passes treks harder than so many other hikes.
Hi and congratulations to both of you brothers I have the greatest respect for your excruciating pain and time and other things that words cannot even describe. So keep going be safe and be inspired God-bless.
thanks so much!
Spectacular!!! Loved the mode of presentation and the backdrop music made it an absolute delight 👌👌👌
Thanks a lot! 😊
Felicitations to you both on your achievements. Interesting and inspiring video. I doubt I'll make Everest but I'm inspired to increase my fitness levels walking/hiking around the UK. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great job guys, one of the better one of these base camp trek videos I've seen! Namaste
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Did this in April, arrived in Lukla at 10:00 am and walked up to Namche that same day, arriving just after dark. It was heavy..espacially the part from the last bridge before Namche where the climb to Namche begins....
The next day i walked up from Namche to EBC, in my opinion the easy part....but after a while you notice the low oxygen level...and walking feels a little like running.
I was to heavy packed, about 19 kg backpack and walked on mountain boots type D ...but had rather taken just a pair of nike running shoes...allmost all sherpa’s walk around on running shoes...or slippers.
I did the trip from EBC to Lukla in just a 18 hours and walked through the night...a lot of Sherpa’s walk through the night as well to avoid daytime traffic.
So, do not “over prepare”...when you are in good condition just see it as a long walk...with a steep climb now and then.
Have fun!!
Thanks....I learned a lot about the Mt Everest BC Hike that I had no idea was a trek in itself. Although I am way past the adventurous stage in age I was deeply enthused regarding the adventureious challenges to get there...Thanks
Hi, John! I'm so glad you liked the video. Honestly, though the EBC trek is challenging, it is possible to do by those in their 50s and 60s who have reasonably good fitness, so it's something to consider. Of course, living vicariously through the wonder of UA-cam works too. :) Thanks for watching!! -Hank
Such a different way of looking at travel. I'm glad I found you guys. A very nice video with tons of personal reactions and insights. Keep it up even though I found this in 2019.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed watching.
So nice to see to brothers doing these trips together hope you guys have a really amazing good times, keep it going :))
thank you! glad you liked the video. we have a john muir trail video with both of us coming soon!
The first thing I would pack is a razor. This footage is amazing. I do not dream of doing this. Way too difficult for me.
so glad you enjoyed watching! start with something easier and work your way up.
Thank you for visiting Nepal.
It's a beautiful place!
Excellent ! Learnt so much !
glad you liked it!
Good video with Nepali music, thank you bro exploring nepal, welcome everyone from all parts of world ❤️
Thank you!
What are they singing?
The Om Mani Padme Hum is from an album called Tibetan Incantations. The track is here: ua-cam.com/video/IjJbXMq5sdI/v-deo.html
28:10 Dal bhat isn't potatoes and rice...it is a excellent local dish that you should try...lentil soup, with curry flavor, and rice
Yup, I misspoke here. As you said, it’s rice and curried lentil soup. But, I have eaten a lot of it and like it!
Great production. Thank you very much. Love it.
The Om mani pad mehume music at the end is so point on. A journey through the sacred land. You both are so fortunate. Jeri
Thank you! It was a wonderful adventure for us.
Congratulations on your achievement. Great video blog of your trip. Truly enjoyed it. 😃
Thanks so much!
Such an amazing video! I have worked with Brian and when I watched this video, it was like wow!
Hi! Thanks so much. Glad you liked it!
Awesome video. I would love to do this someday. How does it work with the lodging/tea houses? Do you just show up and hope they have a room?
Hi guys you are so amazing making video our Nepal got many natural beauty you guys must welcome to explore our country all over the world.
You are so great person supporting our people our people getting job from you beautiful people.
I love as well our beautiful views mostly Himalaya range.
I am from Nepal but now I am living in the UK.
thank you! glad you liked it!
@@HankLeukart hi mate you made incredible video I like so much, I look forward another video. See ya later.
Amazing guys! I'm about to do the same trek and you really inspired me! Thank you! Namaste :)
Hey, Nicole! I hope you have a great trip!
Did you visited nepal?
Amazing and thanks to share your wonderful document to journey to himalaya
thanks for watching and the kind words!
You nailed it bros, Thanks for sharing
so glad you liked it!
Brilliant film. Going to do the trek next month. You brothers are so good together. Really enjoyed this video. Well done boys!
Thanks! I hope you have a fantastic trip! It's a good one!
Thank you from Kennewick, WA USA! Totally enjoyed your vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Job, Congratulations! enjoyed watching the video.. Felt as if i was there ... Thanks a lot for sharing your experience . The video and music quality is excellent...
Thanks, Siva! So glad you liked it!
Great video guys, thank you. I will be going in Feb 2020, so will watch this again beforehand
thank you! i hope you had a chance to take a great trip!
Pues si que caben cosas (comida, materiaL, combustible, sacos de dormir...) en un macuto de 40-50 litros... ¡¡MARAVILLOSO¡¡
yeah, you can definitely fit everything you need in a 50L bag.
Your video is inspiring and informative! Thank you Hank! I'll be doing this hopefully next year.
Thanks so much, JJ! Let me know if you have any questions!
Hey brothers....your publishing is great.
thanks!
Actually you really don't need a guide as the trail is so well marked out. However, a good guide can teach you so much about Nepal and the Mountains. Porters are another story. They can help so much with carrying equipment etc. Most of them that I have met are lovely people and are just hard working people trying to support their family.
I agree that, especially in Nepal, the guides and porters can add a lot to your hiking trip. My brother and I prefer to go it alone usually, but I did hire a guide for the Three Passes Trek in Nepal and enjoyed having him lead very much. You can see that video here: ua-cam.com/video/hL0aW5WOVVs/v-deo.html
Great video... I did it as well solo. It requires more caution but it's the best experience in my opinion
