Lot's of respect and inspiration for so many trekkers.. I have been planning for this Trek from 2-3 years.. i approached the travel agencies and they are asking for 95k . I can't afford that much and you have given life to my dreams.. thank you so much
Thank you ☺️ just one thing want to add you must need previous Himalayan trekking experience and u must know how to tackle Altitude mountain sickness..all the best
Hi Chetan, watched all your videos on EBC, awesome. It's on my bucket list too. I plan to do the solo trip to EBC using only overland travel - no flights including trek/jeep from Ktm to Lukla. I had 3 specific quesries from your videos, kindly address them to help clear my doubts: (1) Somewhere in your video you had mentioned the weight of your back pack was 17 Kg - isn't that way too much weight to be carrying? Exspecially you did not carry tents etc and were using lodges enroute, shouldnt the back pack been around 7-8 Kgs max? (2) In another video you mentioned about covering your head but leaving your ears uncovered - Can you please explain this? (3) Lastly in reply to a comment you mentioned that from September 2022 the authorities are "insisting" on taking a guide to EBC - Can you please confirm the source of this news because I couldn't find anywhere that bieng mentioned. It may be preferrred but I am not sure if it is mandated by the local authorties??...TIA
Hi, I can help with #2 and #3. 2. Chetan mentions that keeping ears uncovered helps our body maintain a sense of altitude which can help the acclimatization process. 3. I heard the same rumors and asked the same doubt, and I received answers from some helpful folk on this forum : www.tripadvisor.in/ShowTopic-g293889-i9243-k14100821-Question_about_new_rule_for_solo_trekkers-Nepal.html#114959942 Hope it helps. Do note that I am yet to embark on my trek so I do not have first hand experience, I am just passing on info.
Just a data point - at 10.5kg, I had enough food for 2 including fuel for 5 days, a 2 man tent, sleeping bag, mat, pots, plates etc, warm clothes + changes, slippers, trekking pole and a battery bank in addition to the small, essential items - including the weight of the rucksack itself, a 20 yo ozone pack of 40l. You can weigh all the stuff on a kitchen scale. Tent - 2.25kg, s.bag - 850g, etc
I not sure why I didn't get notification of your comment, replying late. Thanks for you feedback on my video series. About your queries.. 1) I carried 3-4 quick dry T-Shirts, sleeping bag, toiletries, woolen sweater, Dawn Jacket, thermals, solar charger, DSLR Camera, Camera Tripod, Mobile Gimble, 2 water bottles ,Dry fruits, Rain Jacket, Rain Pant, Floaters, 2 trekking pants + one Jeans, one cotton t-shirt (while flying back to my country), DSLR sling Bag, Daypack Squized inside rucksack, trekking poles, DSLR 1 extra battery, 20000 mAH Power bank, First Aid Kit, DSLR battery charge, Head Torch, Socks 4 pairs, so overall weight was 17 Kg See, if we are able to manage with 2 pair of cloths then we can reduce no. of T-Shirts and it will be 1.5 to 2 Kg, but multiple layers are essential, specially When we enter into minus degrees of temperature, so think in that way. And always consider 2 liters of water every time with you. I think if you reduce Camera gears you will be able to reduce 1.5 to 2 Kg my Canon 80 D with around 800gm and Tripod is around 1.5Kg 2) When I was on my first Himalayan Trek "Roopkund, The mysterious Skeleton Lake in Uttarakhand India" at altitude of 15693 feet, our Trek leaders told to keep head cover and keep ears open, so change in the air pressure around us will be detected by our body, scientifically. I don't know how it works but I followed this tip on all my Himalayan High Altitude Treks. So far I haven't been caught by AMS. 3) During my EBC Trek I have been friend with a Sherpa, and he is in touch with me on WhatsApp and FB, so he told me about this. But I am also not fully sure if Guide is mandatory or not, so try to search for latest info regarding this.
Hi Chetan, you have mostly clarified everything. I just wanted to know a few more things :- 1. How many days in advance did you call Yeti Airlines to reserve your round trip tickets ? 2. Also can we book it at the Yeti sales office after landing in KTM and get confirmed tickets for departure to Lukla within 2-3days? 3. Did they send any confirmation slip about the reservation done over phone (before payment)? TIA, Planning to do it this October, this video series has been of great help. Keep up the good work! 👍
Hi Upasana, Very first, hope you have previous Himalayan High Altitude Trek experience at least 15000 feet. If not would recommend to get experience so u could know ur body’s response at high altitude.it’s so crucial.. Answers to ur questions 1. I called Yeti Airline 3 weeks prior my trek 2. U can book after landing at Kathmandu from their sales office it’s just max 2 Km away from Tribhuvan Airport on same Road..as ur plan is in October so it I’ll be less crowded trail and u can get tickets 2-3 days before 3.Yeti Airline sent me Tickets itinerary from their official email id to my gmail account. Nepali people are so cooperative. Do prepare well and all the best Thanks for ur feedback on my video series..stay tuned 🤗
@@ChetanShende Thank you. And Yes, I do have prior experience of high altitude treks. Thank you very much for the advice and the answers! All the best for the upcoming videos 👍

@@yashpandya6178 Thank you. I hope u have previous High Altitude Training experience..are planning with guide? Hope u are not planning solo without prior proper experience
As per this year 2021-2022, If we consider Starting from Lukla and return back to Lukla, cost will be in between 33K to 40K INR for 11-12 days…Apart from this, Kathmandu to Lukla round Trip Flight will be between 14k to 15k INR . Again reaching To Kathmandu and Return from Kathmandu will depend on the mode of travel Air or By Road..from Delhi to Kathmandu round trip flight cost me 19500 INR..and trekking gears I was having already..u can get all gears on rent from Kathmandu or from Lukla..Trekking gear budget is not included in the above cost I’m referring to
Can you tell me more about your equipment-sunglasses, camera, seems like you also used your phone using a selfie stick? Also what did you use for sterilizing your water, I know you mentioned tablets. I really enjoyed your video and going to base camp in April with a group.
Check the links in the Description Camera Canon 80D, Mobile iphone SE 2, Hohem iSteady X Mobile Gimble, Sunglasses Polarized bought it in Kathmandu, for water purification i used chlorine base tablets i bought tables in Namche Bazar, but i used very few water purifying tables. I would recommend to drink natural water stream water, but in Lobuche and Gorakhshep user Mineral water. Thank you very much for your feedback, glad to know you enjoyed my contents.

hi such a beautiful explanation . i have one query ,in march me and my friend will go to trek . but my friend has no passport .we are going to take flight from delhi to kathmandu .is it possible to trek without passport ? apart from passport every documents are available .please guide. thanks
If you want to go by Air then passport is Mandatory..without passport you cant travel to Nepal via flights...if you dont have passport then you can go by road..then only Govt ID is required..Like DL, PAN, Election Card
Hi Chetan , you are an inspiration for solo travellers. Thank you for making this video and helping with all the information. I am planning to do EBC Solo and have few querstions , Kindly help. Do we need Travel insurance to get permits ? like TIMS card or others ?
Hello Girish, very first thanks a lot for your feedback 😊. I hope you have previous High altitude trekking experience and also Solo trekking experience..without this I’ll not recommend u to plan for it..do watch my entire ebc video series u will get mostly all ur answers..travel insurance not mandatory for trekking permits on ebc trail, but good to have..go through all my videos I have explained everything..still u have any query I’ll definitely try to help u…
@@karthickrk3407 yes u have to tell them about ur plan according they will tell u their charges .. I can try to give u some contact no. If u like. Msg me on insta @chtnshende
Sir whats indian documents required at Nepal for treking etc and can we use camping tent in the way to everest base camp? Or only lodges are optuon for stay?
If you are travelling by Air Passport is mandatory No Visa required if u are travelling by road then Carry your Election Card Adhar Card and Driving licence .. check for Covid restrictions if any.. I had to carry RTPCR negative test and Had to fill online form on Nepal Govt website..we don’t need to carry tent u can get lodges easily.. even u don’t have to carry sleeping bag u will get nice blankets in ur room.. don’t carry much weight….do carry metallic water bottle u can fill boiled water and can put it into ur bed in night
@@ChetanShende hi sir ,i buy it from Sarrvad company. I want your review about this product.what time it took to charge mobile,powerbank etc.if sun is party cloudy then can it be usefull
@@dasuyacyclists2222 Hey that’s great 10000 mh Power bank takes 8-10 hrs.. if ur mobile battery is around 5000 mh then hopefully it will gets full charge in 4-5 hrs.. in cloudy day I’ll work but will take more time for any charging
April-May are peak seasonal months, you may face accodomation challanges, if you are doing it on your own, if you are with Guide then they will take care of accomodation, weather will be warm than Oct-Nov, but you know mountains are unpredictable, so be prepare for harsh weather as well..April-May month me trail will be crowdy, so agar akele ho to you will see trekkers on trail all the time..apart from this if you need any info..just put comment, ill reply for sure
Hi Chetan, I'm Mrinal from India. I am planning to do EBC plus Gokyo Ri with a friend. We're thinking not to go through a tour operatot and do it ourselves. Do you think it is doable? 1.) Do we need a local guide, if yes, could you pls share contact details if you have? 2.) From where do we get permits. how much time does it take to get permits? 3.) How do we book tea houses for each stay. What is the average cost. Are they easily available.?
Very First you must have previous high altitude trek in the Himalaya..About Gokyo Ri I have less idea..EBC + Gokyo Ri will add 3-4 more days in your trekking itinerary..contact details I’ll try to get and share with you..you can watch my entire EBC video series you will get most of your answers..rooms in the tea houses u can book on the spot no advance booking required..about cost As per this year 2021-2022, If we consider Starting from Lukla and return back to Lukla, cost will be in between 33K to 40K INR for 11-12 days…Apart from this, Kathmandu to Lukla round Trip Flight will be between 14k to 15k INR .

@@ChetanShende Yes Chetan, I'm going through your videos. Yes, pls share the local guide's number. Also how did you book the ticket for Lukla ? Were you able to book online beforehand or did you reach Kathmandu and book it

Hi brother which dates you went for Day 1 to return date ? Because I just switched plan from September to November due to I have leaves in November so. Thanks !😊
@@ChetanShende thank you so much brother and I am planing for 28th from Bangalore and then explore Nepal then 30th oct Lukla and back on 17th nov to lukla and 18th back to Bangalore or else as I already have time so might be explore small treks and try to finish EBC in 12/13 days if possible.
@@ChetanShende yeah for that I will add 1 day or 2 days extra and my limit per day is 22/25kms when I have done hamptapass trek but I know due to my leg surgery and altitude sickness my speed will get down so that’s why I will keep extra days for better experience and seamless health effects so really big thanks to you man for helping anytime really appreciate that and I would loved to meet you as an person one day.😁
Hi bro congratulations for your trek to EBC. I would like to know whats cost of accommodation and food. Other than permit. My first trek which would be better with group companies or solo. Please Bro.
As its your first trek i would strongly suggest to go with Companies, I am not sure your from which region. But if you have done any high altitude trek in Himalaya would be fantastic. You need to prepare very well if you dont have past trekking experience...go for running do Gym not too hard but you should be in good shape and you should be able to walk at least 8-10 Km on flat terrain start practicing daily before few months of your schedule. As per this year 2021-2022, If we consider Starting from Lukla and return back to Lukla, cost will be in between 33K to 40K INR for 11-12 days…Apart from this, Kathmandu to Lukla round Trip Flight will be between 14k to 15k INR . Again reaching To Kathmandu and Return from Kathmandu will depend on the mode of travel Air or By Road..from Delhi to Kathmandu round trip flight cost me 19500 INR..and trekking gears I was having already..u can get all gears on rent from Kathmandu or from Lukla..Trekking gear budget is not included in the above cost I’m referring to…separate video is shortly coming on this..stay tuned
@@ChetanShende Thanks you bro I am from Hyderabad You had given me a clear understanding of EBC. I will improve my preparation to withstand climatical change in the region.🤗 🖐
Hi Chetan, Thank you! Did you come across any muds and snow ? I am planning on light weight hiking show instead of heavy duty trekking shoe just for more comfort !! Obviously there will be snow in basecamp area but I meant on the way before reaching basecamp? Hiking shows are perfect for walking except mud and snow.. I am also going solo trekking as it looks pretty safe place !
@@dibaygautam2076 Between Lobuche and Gorakshep and Gorakshep to Basecamp terrain is very uneven..so i would recommend to go with high Ankle support shoe..I came across snow fall as you know mountains are so unpredictable weather can quickly turn…so during snowfall waterproof shoes saved me.. if weather is in our fever good hiking shoes can work..but you are going solo and you may carry your rucksack..so high chance of ankle twist..I will suggest you not to compromise on shoes..if you are hiring porter and weather is pretty normal then hiking shoe will perfectly work..take your decision wisely…and prepare well and all the best stay tuned follow me on Instagram @chtnshende
U can only travel by road to Kathmandu..and for domestic flights in Nepal our Indian Government ID proof works, but From India to Nepal by Flight without passport not possible
@@ChetanShende thank you for the response. we are planing a trek on 28th jan 2023. Without guide and porter. We are watching your video again to plan our iternary
@@rameezm4580 I hope you have previous high altitude trekking experience at least 14-15 thousand feet..without that I would not recommend you to go without Guide n Porter..if you don’t have relevant experience then go with guide
@@ChetanShende is the guide or portal is mandatory now as per the local authority ? Do you have any update about that ? Are we free to go without guide or porter ?! ..
@@AshishKumar-iw5dz Yes..pretty much easy.. at some points there are trails will be little confusing but local people or passing by trekkers can helps and if are experience enough we can take correct path..so overall no issues
I am planning for 1st week of October. Should I attempt kala patthar in the evening or next day morning? Is it possible to attempt kala patthar both in the evening and next day morning?
@@AshishKumar-iw5dz attempting in evening is the best..attempting both depends on ur stamina and the time in your hand..and all the best do prepare well
For only Air Travel passport is mandatory..for permit u can show ur Election Card Or Adhar Card..and better to carry ur all Government IDs that u have like PAN Card Driving license..
@@ChetanShende for which air travel passport is necessary? From any Indian Airports to Kathmandu OR Kathmandu to Lukla air travel OR both...a specific answer will be helpful. Thanks in advance 🙏
As per this year 2021-2022, If we consider Starting from Lukla and return back to Lukla, cost will be in between 33K to 40K INR for 11-12 days…Apart from this, Kathmandu to Lukla round Trip Flight will be between 14k to 15k INR .

Hi Chetan, watched all your videos on EBC, awesome. It's on my bucket list too. I plan to do the solo trip to EBC using only overland travel - no flights including trek/jeep from Ktm to Lukla. I had 3 specific quesries from your videos, kindly address them to help clear my doubts:

Hi, I can help with #2 and #3.
2. Chetan mentions that keeping ears uncovered helps our body maintain a sense of altitude which can help the acclimatization process.
3. I heard the same rumors and asked the same doubt, and I received answers from some helpful folk on this forum :
www.tripadvisor.in/ShowTopic-g293889-i9243-k14100821-Question_about_new_rule_for_solo_trekkers-Nepal.html#114959942
Hope it helps.
Do note that I am yet to embark on my trek so I do not have first hand experience, I am just passing on info.
Just a data point - at 10.5kg, I had enough food for 2 including fuel for 5 days, a 2 man tent, sleeping bag, mat, pots, plates etc, warm clothes + changes, slippers, trekking pole and a battery bank in addition to the small, essential items - including the weight of the rucksack itself, a 20 yo ozone pack of 40l. You can weigh all the stuff on a kitchen scale. Tent - 2.25kg, s.bag - 850g, etc
I not sure why I didn't get notification of your comment, replying late. Thanks for you feedback on my video
series. About your queries..
1) I carried 3-4 quick dry T-Shirts, sleeping bag, toiletries, woolen sweater, Dawn Jacket, thermals, solar charger, DSLR Camera, Camera Tripod, Mobile Gimble, 2 water bottles ,Dry fruits, Rain Jacket, Rain Pant, Floaters, 2 trekking pants + one Jeans, one cotton t-shirt (while flying back to my country), DSLR sling Bag, Daypack Squized inside rucksack, trekking poles, DSLR 1 extra battery, 20000 mAH Power bank, First Aid Kit, DSLR battery charge, Head Torch, Socks 4 pairs, so overall weight was 17 Kg
See, if we are able to manage with 2 pair of cloths then we can reduce no. of T-Shirts and it will be 1.5 to 2 Kg, but multiple layers are essential, specially
When we enter into minus degrees of temperature, so think in that way. And always consider 2 liters of water every time with you.
I think if you reduce Camera gears you will be able to reduce 1.5 to 2 Kg my Canon 80 D with around 800gm and Tripod is around 1.5Kg
2) When I was on my first Himalayan Trek "Roopkund, The mysterious Skeleton Lake in Uttarakhand India" at altitude of 15693 feet, our Trek leaders told to keep head cover and keep ears open, so change in the air pressure around us will be detected by our body, scientifically. I don't know how it works but I followed this tip on all my Himalayan High Altitude Treks. So far I haven't been caught by AMS.
3) During my EBC Trek I have been friend with a Sherpa, and he is in touch with me on WhatsApp and FB, so he told me about this. But I am also
not fully sure if Guide is mandatory or not, so try to search for latest info regarding this.

Can I share it with you just to double check ?
@@manvirnawabsethi Do prepare well..all the best..hope u have previous Himalayan trekking experience 🤗
Bhai i am planning for coming april-may....what will be the challenges in terms of weather and if not april may to best month konsa rhega?
April-May are peak seasonal months, you may face accodomation challanges, if you are doing it on your own, if you are with Guide then they will take care of accomodation, weather will be warm than Oct-Nov, but you know mountains are unpredictable, so be prepare for harsh weather as well..April-May month me trail will be crowdy, so agar akele ho to you will see trekkers on trail all the time..apart from this if you need any info..just put comment, ill reply for sure
Hi Chetan, I'm Mrinal from India. I am planning to do EBC plus Gokyo Ri with a friend. We're thinking not to go through a tour operatot and do it ourselves. Do you think it is doable? 1.) Do we need a local guide, if yes, could you pls share contact details if you have? 2.) From where do we get permits. how much time does it take to get permits? 3.) How do we book tea houses for each stay. What is the average cost. Are they easily available.?
Very First you must have previous high altitude trek in the Himalaya..About Gokyo Ri I have less idea..EBC + Gokyo Ri will add 3-4 more days in your trekking itinerary..contact details I’ll try to get and share with you..you can watch my entire EBC video series you will get most of your answers..rooms in the tea houses u can book on the spot no advance booking required..about cost As per this year 2021-2022, If we consider Starting from Lukla and return back to Lukla, cost will be in between 33K to 40K INR for 11-12 days…Apart from this, Kathmandu to Lukla round Trip Flight will be between 14k to 15k INR . Again reaching To Kathmandu and Return from Kathmandu will depend on the mode of travel Air or By Road..from Delhi to Kathmandu round trip flight cost me 19500 INR..and trekking gears I was having already..u can get all gears on rent from Kathmandu or from Lukla..Trekking gear budget is not included in the above cost I’m referring to
@@ChetanShende Yes Chetan, I'm going through your videos. Yes, pls share the local guide's number. Also how did you book the ticket for Lukla ? Were you able to book online beforehand or did you reach Kathmandu and book it
@@mrinalwaghela43 I called Airline and confirmed my tickets just over phone call.. they sent ticket itinerary over email for Kathmandu to Lukla .. and I paid cash in their sales office..when I reached Kathmandu..you can watch my Everest Base Camp All details video ua-cam.com/video/6Be_ROg025I/v-deo.html
Hi brother which dates you went for Day 1 to return date ? Because I just switched plan from September to November due to I have leaves in November so.
Thanks !😊
On 13th November I started from Lukla and on 23rd November Evening 4 pm back to Lukla

@@DharmS all the very best..don’t skip acclamatization days..and Take care
@@ChetanShende yeah for that I will add 1 day or 2 days extra and my limit per day is 22/25kms when I have done hamptapass trek but I know due to my leg surgery and altitude sickness my speed will get down so that’s why I will keep extra days for better experience and seamless health effects so really big thanks to you man for helping anytime really appreciate that and I would loved to meet you as an person one day.😁

Hi bro congratulations for your trek to EBC.
I would like to know whats cost of accommodation and food.
Other than permit.
My first trek which would be better with group companies or solo.
Please Bro.
Will reply u in detail in Evening doing some office work now 🤗
As its your first trek i would strongly suggest to go with Companies, I am not sure your from which region. But if you have done any high altitude trek in Himalaya would be fantastic. You need to prepare very well if you dont have past trekking experience...go for running do Gym not too hard but you should be in good shape and you should be able to walk at least 8-10 Km on flat terrain start practicing daily before few months of your schedule.
As per this year 2021-2022, If we consider Starting from Lukla and return back to Lukla, cost will be in between 33K to 40K INR for 11-12 days…Apart from this, Kathmandu to Lukla round Trip Flight will be between 14k to 15k INR . Again reaching To Kathmandu and Return from Kathmandu will depend on the mode of travel Air or By Road..from Delhi to Kathmandu round trip flight cost me 19500 INR..and trekking gears I was having already..u can get all gears on rent from Kathmandu or from Lukla..Trekking gear budget is not included in the above cost I’m referring to…separate video is shortly coming on this..stay tuned

Nice one I am going to nepal this October and planning for Everest basecamp!
Which month did you go ?
I did in November 2021 3rd and 4th week
And All the best for your trek
Hi Chetan,
Thank you!
Did you come across any muds and snow ?
I am planning on light weight hiking show instead of heavy duty trekking shoe just for more comfort !!
Obviously there will be snow in basecamp area but I meant on the way before reaching basecamp?
Hiking shows are perfect for walking except mud and snow..
I am also going solo trekking as it looks pretty safe place !
@@dibaygautam2076 Between Lobuche and Gorakshep and Gorakshep to Basecamp terrain is very uneven..so i would recommend to go with high Ankle support shoe..I came across snow fall as you know mountains are so unpredictable weather can quickly turn…so during snowfall waterproof shoes saved me.. if weather is in our fever good hiking shoes can work..but you are going solo and you may carry your rucksack..so high chance of ankle twist..I will suggest you not to compromise on shoes..if you are hiring porter and weather is pretty normal then hiking shoe will perfectly work..take your decision wisely…and prepare well and all the best stay tuned follow me on Instagram @chtnshende
If u don't have passport then?
U can only travel by road to Kathmandu..and for domestic flights in Nepal our Indian Government ID proof works, but From India to Nepal by Flight without passport not possible
for permit of everest base camp, passport is mandatory for Indians??
For Indians passport is not Mandatory..u can show them your Government ID proof Like Driving license, Voter ID. I’ll suggest carry all ur Govt IDs
I am in Kathmandu
respect
Thank you so much..!
Nice and informative videos. In which month did you go for trek ?
Thank you. It’s was mid November
@@ChetanShende thank you for the response. we are planing a trek on 28th jan 2023. Without guide and porter.
We are watching your video again to plan our iternary
@@rameezm4580 I hope you have previous high altitude trekking experience at least 14-15 thousand feet..without that I would not recommend you to go without Guide n Porter..if you don’t have relevant experience then go with guide
@@ChetanShende is the guide or portal is mandatory now as per the local authority ? Do you have any update about that ? Are we free to go without guide or porter ?! ..
@@rameezm4580 some news we’re roaming in September, but no solid information…I think solo trek still possible ..but keep searching latest info
Very informative video. Thanks for all the information.
Permit office are open on weekends or not?
Permit offices are open for all days..
And, on the trek is it easy to navigate without relying on gps?
@@AshishKumar-iw5dz Yes..pretty much easy.. at some points there are trails will be little confusing but local people or passing by trekkers can helps and if are experience enough we can take correct path..so overall no issues
I am planning for 1st week of October. Should I attempt kala patthar in the evening or next day morning?
Is it possible to attempt kala patthar both in the evening and next day morning?
@@AshishKumar-iw5dz attempting in evening is the best..attempting both depends on ur stamina and the time in your hand..and all the best do prepare well
Hi sir good evening
I want help for your side sir
Hi brother ☺
Is passport mandatory to get the permit for Indians ?🇮🇳 because I don't have passport .
