------------------
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this UA-cam channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Best season for Everest base camp trekking
There are two preferable seasons for Everest base camp trekking: Spring and autumn. The spring season starts from mid-February and ends towards the end of May. The period between March and May is the hottest time of year when temperatures might go up to 30°C.
The autumn season starts from mid-September and lasts until the end of November. It comes with features of dryness, clear blue sky and a mild breeze.

i would say the pilot *buttered* that landing! a short runway, tough terrains. mad respect.
blog it m8.
Well said! Incredible landing!
there exists about 18 degrees at the runway，it is not very hard to reduce speed
@MrCloudseeker Yes but it's not only about short runway and STOL aircraft. You can see there is no way to go around if the landing is to be aborted for some reason, once you're about to land, you have no choice. One mistake and you're gone. Frequent weather changes in this region also has big impacts to the flight operatons. You have to be a qualified and experienced pilot to land here, it may look easy to us people warching but it's as equally difficult and risky too.
ckxrs and no go around
The face of the lady behind you on the plane said it all!
+CampingCarJoa We were both about to cry!
Crazy plane trip for sure!
You are so kind. Most of people does not appreciate the people who carrying their bags.
The locals appreciate having that bag to carry.
ua-cam.com/video/613__KezV3Y/v-deo.html
Check out his channel guys🧐
@@hoghogwild Wouldn't the locals appreciate a job and not so much carrying a ton of heavy stuff like a pack mule?
@@MagnoliaMS70 Sometimes people must play the hand they're dealt. It IS a job for them.
I love how your future friends Charlie and Gel are sitting right by you on the plane.
I wonder if the guy who was going up to the top successfully did it & returned. It's always scary to think that the people you meet going up to Everest might be dead now....
That is nuts. Also you have to pass by many bodies preserved there forever.
The death rate on everest ist pretty low. He will be ok
@@Xohonix , Actually, there's a lot of carnage on Everest. The whole mountain is a garbage dump of human bodies and their waste.
@@x1achilles99 ye thats why there are so many people that are goint to everest, not bc its a hard mountain
@@x1achilles99 death rate is 0.04% now because SO many people climb it now. Theres a 2 week window in May and about 800 people ATTEMPT to reach the top in that time frame.
Lukla airport is world no 1 dangerous airport.Got to admit Nepali Pilots are brave ...and loved this vlog
@Mudit Kedia hey why don't you google , sundar is Ceo , use it .
@Mudit Kedia bro in lukla a small mistake will crash the plane , reaching runway comes next , and also take off is restricted as well , small offset of 1-3 seconds can cause the plane to not achieve the required threshold velocity to make it float in air. That's why its dangerous . Please study more.
@Mudit Kedia and those magazine is Forbes. Not a stupid local media
@Mudit Kedia and every country is beautiful . Not just Nepal. Even a desert country like UAE is beautiful
@Mudit Kedia ok mr know it all than any other people . Namo tasa 🙏
5:07! The first appearance of Charlie!
I'm re-watching your old episodes the way I re-watch Parks and Rec. Picking a favorite while I eat lunch. Everything about your vlogs has become more professional since 2016, and Nate definitely talks faster now than he used to.
We've done that flight to Lukla a dozen times, one of our alltime favourite places!
Going through Kara and Nates videos and watching them years later, and seeing my favorite cookie channel commenting. What a cool world haha
whoa i know you!!!
Watched this series when it first came out and I was 18. Everest has become my addiction ever since. I am planning a trek with my sister and I to EBC in the fall of 2023. Thank you guys for this. 🙌🏼
do you know if you have to be very prepared to do this? I am fit since I regularly run around 10-15km, have done 35-40km runs every now and then and I hit the gym regularly. But should I do some long distance walks to prepare for it?
@@jordivargashere 40 km is way more than you do per day when doing a trek such as everest base camp. You should be fine if you make sure not to go up too fast to avoid altitude sickness.
How was it
This might be the 10th time am watching this Everest series and getting more and more inspired to do the base camp trek .. thanks Kara and Nate for the inspiration.
Oh my gosh you guys have gotten so much better at the filming and editing! Great to see how much you have grown 😁
Rewatching this series again in November of 2023 and I’m going OMG, Kara and Nate are soooooooooooooooo young! When this series came out it was such an inspirational series for me. Helped me realize I didn’t have to be afraid to travel to new places!!! Also, your videos today have improved so much, but these were fabulous too!
Sunam seems like such a gentle friendly soul! It's been over 6 years now I wonder what he's up to
I am so glad I found your channel, it’s Saturday night and I’m binging your videos and totally living vicariously through your travels!
Nepal is a magical country. I would love to go back again!
visit nepal again
@@UpasnaParikh151 fucking bullshit
are you out of your mind
@@UpasnaParikh151 which school taught you this bullshit knowledge? Slavers of British 😏😏
Upasna parikh wow you dumb fk
Fking uneducated bastard. You need education.
LOL the face of that woman in the back seat
That woman next to kara is me on every flight ever. Bless them for willingly going on that tiny plane!
Thats me as well
@@lif3isadanc3flo0r that's me too every flight hahahah
@@lif3isadanc3flo0r seriously the woman is you?
Sean Mc Well, as Nate said, she was as excited as Kara was.
This is my favorite series. Watched these several times. I still cant believe you were reaching 100k subscribers last year... Happy for you both!! Please have more of this type content!
This video was randomly on my recommended and brings back so many memories. I trekked the Everest Base Camp almost exactly as the same time as you guys, so we might have even crossed paths. God bless, both of you and best of luck for the future. Thanks for this video.
Love this video! I have probably watched it 10 times! lol! I just returned from the EBC trek! I met Sonam (your guide) while staying in Lobuche the day before I went to base camp. He and I ended up bumping into each other at base camp, Namche, etc. Great video!
Danybhad (nepali for 'thanks') guys for this video. This is my first comment on your various trips. Have been to Nepal three times but towards the tarai area (lowlands). My back condition prevents me from making treks. I am looking at all that you've seen here with teary eyes. I love Nepal and the people also. I watched this with much excitement and looking forward to your other videos on your trip to basecamp. Take care and enjoy every moment. These will be in your hearts for many, many years.
- Tennessee
+Tennessee Valdez Awww we love Nepal and the people as well! We enjoyed our time here so very much. We hope you like the rest of the videos too :) Thanks for watching!
OMG ! Thank you so much for loving Nepal 🌸
that's not Nepali, its a Sanskrit work which was I guess borrowed and twisted somehow

So nice to see you back safe and sound , missed you the last couple weeks. Great vlog as usual, can't wait to see the rest of your trek to base camp.
+slee0687 Thank you :)
2.1 million... Nicely done! I'm current on the channel and decided to go back and watch some classic episodes. Its amazing to see all that's changed and is differences! I wish you guys the best of luck moving forward.
LOVE your videos! Loved watching you Vlogs ever since you were in Thailand .. thanks for sharing!!
Kara genuinely looked so terrified of the turbulence! I feel you, girl! Poor thing! Love you, both!
I'm a 27 year old small business Construction Company owner in California. I love watching your guys's videos I don't get to travel as much as I would like because I'm so busy you guys remind me you need to get out and live life. I love how positive and upbeat you two are, I also like that you guys reply to your viewers comments you seem like amazing people in a world full of negativity and political bullshit your channel is so refreshing.
Austin Giguere - ..and this vid isn't negative...yeah, right!
The Hunter ?
The Hunter is that sarcasm
Just recently stumbled upon Kara and Nates channel and I’ve been binge watching their videos chronologically every night… keeping myself awake wayyyy too late.
They’re such experienced travelers! So much fun to watch & live vicariously through.
thank you for showing me fascinating parts of the world I never planned to see, and know that I wouldn't go to. Your videos have gotten so good over time!
This was very enjoyable to watch. I love the way it was filmed.
bruh, u look like cristiano ronaldo
OmarOmarOmar nah
A little bit
Haha yeah he does look like cr
Nope
OmarOmarOmar , You look like CR
He looks more like Jared Kushner, and to a certain extent, the infamous Luca Magnotta
I like watching Everest Summits on youtube and so your channel popped up on my recommendations this morning. It was the perfect day to stay home with the fireplace and do laundry because it was an ungodly cold and very windy day. I ended up bing watching your entire Everest Base Camp Trek today. Beautiful. It was so well done, it really gave the viewer a sense of what it's like to do it. And you two are both adorable. Thank you!
You guys are so inspirational. I’ve been watching from the beginning and so happy I’m able to watch your amazing adventure
I've only watched one of these and I'm already like, these videos are great!
woohoo! :)
Who else is here after watching the Colorado trail vlogumentary?
me too :)
Meeeeee
I am actually watching this for the third time. I will go to the Trans-Siberian railroad trip after I finish this group.
✌
Me! Lol
Thank you so much, your trip to base camp was so great to watch. Good on you guys for doing it.
I watched these videos like 4 years ago, and I couldn't find them again until now! Nostalgia trip for me:)
My partner and I are doing this trek in March 2020. So looking forward to it. Can't wait.
Lance Jackson Good luck to you and your partner 💜, Hopefully my partner will join me in near future too ☺️
Nice
Please well come to pokhara as well 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Do it without porter support, its easy trust me.
hopefully i can find a partner in 2020 xD
What an amazing vlog, been thinking about you both and was happy to see the videos! Be safe and keep sharing your blessed life! Your smiles make my day!
+Vickie Noyes You are so kind! Thank you! So glad you like them :)
I enjoyed every bit of your adventure in all the episodes. I felt as if I was there. Thank you and all the best for future travels.
Just re watching this again. It was you guys that inspired us to both start our channel and trek to EBC.
Just wanted to say thanks 🙏
welcome back! better than everything on TV !
+Stefanie L. Aww thanks! :)
YAY so excited for many more vlogs to come!!
+Lynn Miriam woohoo👏🏻
hi
how are you
i wana talk to you
Wow looking at this video thinking about how much you guys have accomplished makes me so happy. I have been watching you from day 1. You guys are the best! Love ya both so much!
Sincerely
Your biggest fan.
One of my favorite series. We have re watched your vlogs many times. I miss the old school vlogging.
Great vlog great to have you back! The faces on Kara and the woman in white were hilarious! The scenery looks fantastic I'm eagerly awaiting the rest.
+Mark Evans Thank you :)
So excited for the vlogs to come!!
+redwoodferrari yay :)
Osprey Bags are the best! We bought 4 of them for our Ireland trip and have gotten so much use out of them since. Amazing packing ability, great for traveling (easy security check), and great durability. Keep up the great video guys! Everest Base Camp is a dream spot for me!
Currently rewatching this series!!! Such a joy every time
So glad to see you are safe and sound , Missed you , cant wait to see al your new videos !!
+Hanny Pengilley We are happy to be back! :)
Haha, I loved those faces on the plane! :D And we were sleeping in the same room in 2018 april, but on the way back!
Just watched your videos on Everest base camp and loved it thanks for sharing the whole video yous 2 were smiling the whole way through pleasure to watch
The most dangerous airport in the world "Lukla airport". Kudos to the bravest and skilled pilots.
Thanks for the adventurous blog. Keep posting more blogs!
u guys look so gud together....such a gud chemistry. ....kara is so so so so beautifull.....
I'm so glad you showed all the flying part. It was the part I was worried about most for you. I told you it was one of the worst but didn't want to scare you. Now I can tell you, you prob heard, it's number one in danger in the world and there have been many crashes there!! The runway is a ski slope runway. On approach there is no go around basically and because of the cliff at the end, planes have slammed into the cliff. That's why the winds are so tricky and they cancel flights because of it! So glad you guys are safe and had a great time. Can't wait to see all the vlogs!
+Michael Jackson The most insane flight experience we've ever had! I can't believe they haven't closed it down! Our flight was only supposed to be 35 minutes, but we circled for another 30 because of the high winds. It was so cloudy and scary!
+Kara and Nate Kara and the other woman's faces......priceless! 😳
If the video got published there is a high chance they didn't die lol
Since this post and the replies there has been many crashes, one fatal one is posted on youtube, just search for the cctv of lukla summit crash, but there are crashes all the time, this one was April 2019
Loved your trip...I have been to Nepal in 1995... You both brought me good memories... Im from Brazil... I will keep following your adventures.. Good Luck... Hope this pandemia ends up soon.... God bless you two....
What nice people. You just want them to be your friends. Great video. Thanks for showing actual fear. Too many people aren't authentic - kudos! :)
I love Kara's personality! You guys are awesome!
Awww thank you!!! :)
Living in the Moment, I agree wholeheartedly! He married very well.
I agree and cannot stop looking at her very nice legs!
The best video series (15 in all) of the Everest Base Camp trek on UA-cam. thanks for sharing your amazing trip.
Wow thanks so much! :)
Doing the EBC trek was on my bucket list for years. But family, career, etc did not make that possible. Now that I'm retired and have lots of time, several health issues make the trek impossible. So, it is with videos like your I do the EBC trek.
Bill Kara and Nate
Thanks for creating this. I have never been to Nepal and this video makes me want to go there. I have just started my own travel channel on UA-cam, so I like learning from people like you who have excelled in the genre.
Watched all your awesome vids before I did this trek in Sept/Oct last year guys! Lukla flight was unreal!!
What an amazing life changing adventure. It's not for me but I'm so in awe of you doing it
Yaaaaa Hooooo !! u r back..... keep waiting for ur vid everyday
+waytaka k.junpan Thank you :)
Had to come back and watch these. Damn these vlogs were so good. Hope to see you guys back at it next year!
Been watching all of your videos. I love Kara's facial expressions! Kara has a Million Dollar smile. Makes me smile along with you!
Your vlogs are amazing, still don't understand why you guys haven't reached 1 Mil yet, you both do deserve it. By the way her reaction on the plane was priceless 😂
I can't believe they haven't reached five million subscribers yet. Problem is it took five years for youtube to recommend me their Ragbrai ride, now I started from the beginning and am hooked. UA-cam recommendations are broke for most part.
thanks for the handy videos guys!
Awesome vid thanks for sharing. I love taking off at Lukkla airport😊
Kara looks so kewttttt! I luv gurlz who luv trekking n that kinda stuff
I almost died in this Aircraft..
Not even Terrifying! My favorite Airport in Asia
I love the sounds of the birds in this trip
thank you for your contribution to cover this place in tourists and waste! omg you are sooooo inspiring.
Rewatching this vlog! Amazed how Nate’s accent has changed so much!
I loved flying into Lukla!
I found you guys between a bunch of flight review videos, but I'll check you other vids out as well :-)
You are BRAVE!!! Thanks for watching :)
Incredible Himalayan Sherpa Adventure (P) Ltd Contct number please
u gotta trust our pilots dude
I am off school with the flu 🤧 and I am watching you guys do this amazing journey and you are making me feel 50% better 👍🏼
Omg rewatching your old vlogs and there it is charlie!!!
Rumour has it this plane is actually safer than a Boeing 737 Max
Twin Otter has enough power for speed control and short-length take off
Zeno D haha I like that
@@JustJohn505 None of the flyby wire crap, it's amazing how clueless most people are, these days.
If you look it up, this particular model of plane and this particular airline have had two extremely fatal crashes in the past decade.
@@JustJohn505 Yes, violence solves everything.
AH! its the first time seeing Charlie!
Wow so cool nice adventure flying omg so much courage to go to places n hike
OMG This looks like so much fun!!
Thanks for visiting Nepal ❤❤ love from Nepal guys 😍😍
terrificaly beautiful country it is !
You're living my Dream!!!!!
I mean started watching yesterday about my Home Moscow and had to proceed further on, cause the videos are so funny.. Plus you guys have a very good command of the Language!
Great Vid! I really enjoyed the 3 passes trek to basecamp!
You nailed the porter thing on the head - it's all part of the tourism infrastructure which Nepal relies on so much, and it brings employment. A super video.
I like the way you document this trip, well done and good eye for the details :) especially liked the way the landing was filmed, there are many videos of it online, but seldom they are clear. Yours is nice! Thumbs up and subscribed :)
It’s so interesting going back and watching these earlier videos. I only caught up with you guys around 2019 I think and so it’s cool to go back and look at baby you
Love love the series!!!
Browsing youtube at work and you're back! Had to take a mandatory to watch it.
+miukkium Yay! :)
Please tell me you didn't go all the way to basecamp wearing sandals.
@@KimHamilton50 Porters often go there in sandals
Kim Hamilton chill out angry white lady. Go get a Frappuccino at Target and take a deep breath
Kim Hamilton anyone with half a brain wouldnt take sandals at all...
@@KimHamilton50 I saw someone with sandals on at basecamp when I went
You probably wear socks with your sandals bro
I wonder how you two do all these things! You guys are like, you have zero worries in life. Love you two!
You know what??? Guys, you are just amazing.. I am watching your videos, they are like professionally made and very interesting like a movie!!!
The other girls face at 05:50 LOL
*I love the fact that people close their eyes in order to avoid any kind of accident* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would be me too! Lol!!
Nepal is an awesome place.....Nice people
This video actually makes me feel like I am in the lukla
What a great way to make video
Flying into and out of this airport is a shared dream of my father and me. We both love flying. You are so lucky to have gotten to do this.
Awww you're always welcome to Lukla
