Hey Kraig, I just came back from the Mardi Himal trek too, saw "ghost" too at high camp! He actually followed us to the viewpoint before staying there when we descended.
About the dogs: I heard this story that those are monks, who did not live their life properly and therefore have been send back to earth to guide other people!!! I almost always have a dog with me while trekking in Nepal 😊
We had ghost following us all the way, we had 3 children we us they love her and named her Tofu, my son got very attached to the dog and cried when we had to leave.
You're such a masterful creator Thanks for the video! I truly hope you'll continue with this format - silent hike vid and dedicated 'behind the scenes' vid! Ghost is adorable, his story finally told!
@@BGaud but he had a good home and was in the most beautiful place already? Meeting and leading new people almost every day, being free!. Now he has to live on a leash and do whatever that lady tells him. How is that a better life? Sorry but that's just selfish.
Thank you very much Kraig.. that you let us participate in your wonderful tours. They have a meditative effect on me. These beauties, the creative work of our Creator, touch me very much.❤🩹
Nepal is amazing and my favorite country I have ever been to and I consider the annapurna ciruit trek one of the highlights of my life...your video brings back alot of memories from what feels like eons(13 years) ago!
You are such a good soul. I really like how respectful you are to all the people, cultures, and lands that you visit. I thoroughly love watching your videos too, but just want you to know that you make the world a better place. Thank You!
Loved your silent travel video. Ghost’s appearance kept me glued to your video. As a dog lover, it just made me cry. Glad to hear more on the hike on this video and hear more about Ghost. I read comments that stated she was taken to US. Some people were not very happy. I’m personally glad the Ghost is in better hand. I’m sure it will be taken better care of and fed we’ll better than the wilderness.
Good on you for paying for food at the tea houses. When I was there 1 year earlier, saw young people bringing their own instant noodles and attmepting to order "hot water". The high-altitude tea houses count on the food sales as part of their revenue.
As a nepali who has already done Mardi Himal Trek, it could not have been presented any better than how you did in these 2 videos. Loved your work and wish i could go back again.
I am a hiker and you inspire me to take more chances and add more variety to my hikes! I Love dogs and was so touched by your travel companion for this hike ! Thanks for sharing your wonderful expertise! I'll keep watching them all! 🙏💖✨
this was the most beautiful hiking video i've watched. I love how you didn't narrate during, made you experience the place more through the video. Loved the after thoughts video, great idea.
watching your videos is like therapy to me. idk how to explain it?? but your silent hikes and videos like these explaining things calms me down and clears my mind. what i’m trying to say is i love you and appreciate all the content you put out.
Loved it! Thanks. I spend a lot of time in India and I love the street dogs. So amazing that little guy lives the way he does. Thanks for bringing the panoramas, the story, and the little companion.
Loved the video Kraig, We stayed at Mountain View hotel as well and literally last month, Dhiraj messaged me that you were there. We will do Himal Trek sometime on our next trip to Nepal. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you Kraig, we enjoy your films, and love the way you talk through all of the information about the trek afterwards, very helpful and informative. Keep making films please.
I love your videos. And thank you for not taking Ghost home. He's living his life and is perfectly happy. I love that you do a comment free trek and then follow up with a separate video detailing the trip.. Thank you for sharing this amazing and beautiful world.
Really enjoying this guide! Glad you liked this trek, it's really fun. Hoping you'll come back to Nepal to take on many new adventures. I subbed to your channel after watching your Hornstrandir video but only after watching your Mardi silent movie, I realised you're from WFS!! I used to watch WFS all the time and your videos have really helped me a lot. Looking forward to watch more amazing content like this from you! 🙏🏼
Man, I see your videos here and then and I really enjoy every single one of them. But Mardi Himal is the best I've ever seen... ever! I enjoy hiking a lot thus your videos too. But the bond you made with Ghotst is amazing, although probably because of the simple reason is never the less incredible. Thank you for this, keep it up and cheers from Costa Rica.
Hey Kraig, I loved your hiking film in Nepal. I shared it with a few friends and family - they were super excited about Ghost too! They would scan each scene to see if Ghost was still with you. Looking forward to your next film and life updates. Cheers!
this looks absolutely stunning, glad youtube recommended your channel. so many more hiking ideas. This and the MacLehose Trail added to the list. Like these shorter trials where you can spend time doing other holiday stuff.
I loved the original and this descriptive of the original. I really like your film style as well especially that you filmed the tea house and food experience. And lastly... the actual quality of the 4K is terrific. There are many "4K" uploads out there that are really not true 4K but yours was great.
you did good job by leaving "Ghost" where he belongs: up in the snowy mountain, free from crowd and hustle, free from chains in their neck, free from walls and gates of house. He is free spirited animal just like Ghost in GOT.
Hi Kraig. For sure, whatever we do by pleasure we do it well. I loved to see the ghost dog. To be honest, if I hike this trail, I'd love to have his company. Take care!
Awww, you will miss Ghost, won't you? Great companion, definitely added a bit of extra to the trip.. like a silent friend for life. Envy the trip! Love it.
14:12 Those gold color plates are bronze plates which is typical metal used in Nepali kitchen. In ancient times lots of people died of Titanus (bacterial infection) which they believed was caused by iron made kitchenwares. Titanus bacteria survives well in rusty iron but in those days they didnt know about the bacteria. They completely abandoned iron made materials in their kitchen. Thats why they use bronze kitchenware till today.
Hi Kraig, just discovered your channel. Watched the Mardi Himal video first and I love the silent hiking style. It has a great quality to it and being someone that looks for remote hiking options, it is a great resource. And this video was SUPER helpful as well. Keep it up!
Honestly, I really enjoy your work and effort that you put into your videos. And I am glad that you are here to share the wonderful places around the world in in these corona-times
Your videos are fantastic mate. So inspiring and helpful as well. I used to be outdoors a lot but have let that side go as I'd not been doing well mentally. It's definitely inspiring to start getting back out there and get back into hiking and photography!
I did the everest circuit trek to the Base camp over 19 days a few years ago. Hopefully this pandemic will ease soon as I cannot wait to head back to Nepal. The best thing about being in Nepal is it really make you appreciate the simple things in life. A cup of hot bevrage and a hot meal that you take for granted back home after arriving to the teahouse, and it feels like the most amazing reward in the world. Not to mention the shower at the end after being in the wild for a couple of weeks is the most amazing feeling; something that's hard to experience in normal life. Thank you for your awesome contents Kraig! Hopefully this COVID thing is not affecting you and your channel too much .
I was a bit confused at when you said "Dal Baat" and then I saw the dish. :-D Lentils and Rice!!! It's a staple across South Asia. Loved the catchphrase "Daal Bhaat power, 24 hour!"
Thank you so much! You have really de-mystified and reduced the intimidation factor of these international hikes for me. It all feels very doable and of course your films are beautiful. I know you are a filmmaker but you have a real knack for explaining things and this guide-type content so keep it going!
Excellent video Kraig. Those kinds of tutorials are really great for us to know more about what you do to make this channel happen. Your minimalist style is really inspiring and I like to see that is not much gear needed to create such good content.
Kraig, you have no idea what you're doing for the local economy there. Your productions are absolutely stunning (one that's slowly inspiring me to maybe do a similar style) and will only bring more travelers to the region. Kudos to you :)
I think it helps that you’re so relatable and genuinely a nice guy! I love the silent hikes and anything with dogs people are gonna LOVE! Loving your videos…just found you! Please keep making your videos!
I absolutely love your hiking videos! They are so well made. You're one of my favorite UA-cam dudes!!! By the way.. GHOST was such a nice surprise and definitely made this story even better. ❤️
It's very true what you said about picking one guesthouse in the mountains and EATING THERE TOO. It's very upsetting for the owners since they offer the room at such a low rate. The etiquette is that you eat where you stay (in the mountains, not necessarily in the city).
Thanks for this video explanation of how you made the film! Loved every part of the film and also this video. Ghost is a great name for that dog I am subscribed to your channel now and looking forward to more such films. Your style is quite unique! #DCTraveler
Great video Kraig! The coffee keeps getting more expensive as you ascend because the higher the altitude, the higher the cost (and difficulty) of transporting all the food from the bazaar all the way to the top :)
Hey Kraig, just wanted to say I really appreciate these breakdown videos. It's wonderful to see how you approach the planning of your hikes and are making them really accessible for so many others. Love the little insights to your film making process too
Hey Kraig, I just came back from the Mardi Himal trek too, saw "ghost" too at high camp! He actually followed us to the viewpoint before staying there when we descended.
Ghost is there to guide trekkers.
Hats off ghost.👍
istighfar bro~ jangan lupa baca ayat kursi
Awww feels :)
@Kraig Adams what's happening to the channel?
@@ferdinandmwangi1356 he was hacked unfortunately.
About the dogs: I heard this story that those are monks, who did not live their life properly and therefore have been send back to earth to guide other people!!! I almost always have a dog with me while trekking in Nepal 😊
This guy said," Daal bhaat power; 24 hour." I don't know you but being a nepali I'm so Proud of you lmaao.
😎😎

ghost represented Nepal the best way!!! thank you GHOST.
My man Ghost left Kraig for a group of girls. I'm beginning to think Ghost is actually MY spirit animal.
Ghost is a savvy survivor...
I'm seriously thinking about flying to Nepal so that I can snuggle with Ghost.
Too bad
Cause someone took ghost to usa

Sad that Ghost is not a guide in Nepal any more.
Lars as long as he has a good home and can be outdoors, I’m ok with that.
@@BGaud but he had a good home and was in the most beautiful place already? Meeting and leading new people almost every day, being free!. Now he has to live on a leash and do whatever that lady tells him. How is that a better life? Sorry but that's just selfish.
No! Ghost was obviously a mountain dog...spiritual in a sense. A famaliar that belonged to no one. How dare someone disrepect him!
I throughly enjoyed this video! It’s nice to know what you were doing/thinking behind the scenes! Keep up the great work Kraig!
I'm happy you recovered your channel, Kraig. You're amazing, guy. Very glad here!
We love the post-hike videos just as much as the silent hike video. So much insight. Thank you for the food shots, info, and prices. Thank you!
24:05 Chonky boy trying his best to walk in the snow.
Thank you very much Kraig.. that you let us participate in your wonderful tours. They have a meditative effect on me. These beauties, the creative work of our Creator, touch me very much.❤🩹

Wow! The process you put yourself through to make these videos - trapesing back and forth - just so that we can enjoy it, is amazing. Thank you Kraig!
I love Ghost! I’m doing Mardi Himal this May, but I’ve sone 4 treks in Nepal already. I really recommend Manaslu Circuit. It’s the real hidden gem!
I love your attitude & vibe for what you do & how you do it... including soundtracks! Don't lose sight.
You are such a good soul. I really like how respectful you are to all the people, cultures, and lands that you visit. I thoroughly love watching your videos too, but just want you to know that you make the world a better place. Thank You!
Close up*
"he's a weirdo."
Lost it.
lmao sammeee
I felt so bad just watching it struggle through the snow but it was so funny
My spirit animal
That was so funny haha
I laughed so hard at the shot of the second white pup falling through the snow while you were calling him plump.
Nepal is one of the most beautiful country in the world💎♥️
Kraig, missed your talks after the videos, nice that you took time to do one. All the best!
This was so flipping helpful! Your silent films are breathtaking and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your art. You're amazing!

Don’t buy boots, man! Btw, your silent hikes are wonderful, very relaxing.
VERY glad to see you back, I was so worried when the scammers deleted all your videos..
watching your videos is like therapy to me. idk how to explain it?? but your silent hikes and videos like these explaining things calms me down and clears my mind. what i’m trying to say is i love you and appreciate all the content you put out.
Love the twin video approach for each hike. One for the hike, the views, the experience, the other with the background and FAQs. Thanks!
36 hours... is that for real?? Wow , then again The LOVE put in this vid is evident and heart felt. Love and light from Europe !💞
Dude I finally finished the Mae Hong Son loop trip. Used your vid as a Bible haha
Hyuhy gonna do this in July hopefully 👌🏻
@@simon_duba it's an insane trip! Have a blast
So cool.
I'm feeling relief to see your videos are back! Thank God you got your account back!
Sounds wonderful and thank you for describing your cost and description of your adventure
So so happy you recovered your channel and videos👏🏻👏🏻
Loved it! Thanks. I spend a lot of time in India and I love the street dogs. So amazing that little guy lives the way he does. Thanks for bringing the panoramas, the story, and the little companion.
Welcome back man, glad you managed to get your channel back :) !!
What an experience !!! With your talk, the video comes to life. And yes, ghost is so lovable !
Loved the video Kraig, We stayed at Mountain View hotel as well and literally last month, Dhiraj messaged me that you were there. We will do Himal Trek sometime on our next trip to Nepal. Thanks for sharing your experience.
“Quit asking me to buy boots. Boots suck.” 😂 hahahahaha so good!
Enjoyed watching your Mardi Himal Trail video. So inspiring. Keep up the great work!
More content like this please Kraig. Love your channel and find each video even more inspiring than the last. Keep it up!
Thank you Kraig, we enjoy your films, and love the way you talk through all of the information about the trek afterwards, very helpful and informative. Keep making films please.
Beautiful work
Ghost is the guardian of the trail :D
Maddy Grayson really? That's kinda sad
I love your videos. And thank you for not taking Ghost home. He's living his life and is perfectly happy. I love that you do a comment free trek and then follow up with a separate video detailing the trip.. Thank you for sharing this amazing and beautiful world.

I agree
Great job mate. Some of the best vids going on UA-cam. Mardi Himal vid is my particular favourite. Cheers,
Incredible deep drive on your process. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this behind-the-scenes look! Crazy inspiring!
Daal is Lentil and Bhaat is Boiled Rice, hence Daal-Bhaat. It's pretty common in South-Asia.
Hi Kraig. For sure, whatever we do by pleasure we do it well. I loved to see the ghost dog. To be honest, if I hike this trail, I'd love to have his company. Take care!

This must be the very first time for me to hear this much good things about a dog.

This is now on my bucket list. Thanks for the video
Glad your back bro. Was worried.

This was a great guide. I can see your channel growing in the near future. Keep up the great work!!!
I'm glad the guides are back, these are my favorite videos of yours.
I'm a new folllower from Spain and very impres of te high quality of your videos I feel really in deep in the place thankyou very much for your work

Really enjoy your videos. Keep it up Kraig!
I lived in Nepal for eight years. If you go back, try making a trek combining Langthang and Helambu valleys with Panchpokari.
Was here only to learn about Ghost and wasn't disappointed. Also new sub because of Ghost and how nice you were to him 😄
Great video Kraig, and love the way Ghost endend up making new friends.
The video quality was amazing and they way you explained it was too.
This is beyond beauty to the point I shed a tear while watching this! Thank you, sincerely.
