Welcome to a new episode of Bucket Lister Podcast titled "Everest Base Camp - Update 2", where we delve deep into the practicalities of your epic journey to the Everest Base Camp. In this episode, we break down the logistics, focusing on setting the right expectations for reaching the critical jumping-off point, Lukla.Once thought of as a direct trip from Kathmandu, getting to Lukla has become more of a journey in itself. Priority is now given to flights from Ramechhap rather than Kathmandu, largely due to airport congestion. However, recent flooding has dramatically impacted the trip duration to Ramechhap, with travel times increasing from the usual 4 hours to approximately 8 hours.While Helicopter services still operate directly from Kathmandu to Lukla, they are not immune to disruptive weather conditions. This situation has resulted in instances where hundreds of adventurers have been stuck in Ramechhap awaiting their flight to Lukla. Hence, the episode aims to bring listeners up to speed on these changes and highlight the importance of having a contingency budget for emergencies such as hopping on a helicopter ride when fixed-wing flights become unfeasible.Additionally, we'll explore an intriguing offshoot at the end of the typical Base Camp itinerary. If you're considering extending your Nepalese adventure with a visit to Chitwan, this episode covers the options for securing flights from Kathmandu.Whether you're a seasoned trekker or a first-time adventurer, this episode delivers essential information to help you plan and have a fantastic Everest Base Camp experience. Join us as we navigate the twists and turns of this legendary trek.———————————————We are The Bucket List Company.

Vláda v rámci úsporného balíčku hodlá zvýšit daň z nemovitostí, měl by vyšší výnos připadnout městům a obcím. „Ministru financí Stanjurovi jde o zhruba 10 miliard korun, které by chtěla vláda díky zvýšení daně z nemovitostí přivést do státního rozpočtu,“ vysvětluje předseda Svazu měst a obcí František Lukl. Pokud se tato částka najde jinde, je podle Lukla připraven výnos z daně samosprávným celkům ponechat.

Ep#049: The current rise in temperature is a cause for concern for everyone, everywhere. In recent years, the April temperatures in the Terai region have consistently crossed the 40+ degree centigrade mark. But this pattern of record-high temperatures is not confined to just the Terai region. It's also happening in places like Kathmandu, which is known for having much milder weather conditions. As a result, we are witnessing a rising trend of school closures, extending even to hilly regions such as Gorkha and Tanahun. Surprisingly, there are news reports that Nepal is experiencing record heat extending as far north as Lukla. In this episode, PEI's Nirjan Rai sits down with Aditya Valliathan Pillai to discuss the science behind the growing heat waves around the world, including Nepal and India, the impacts on the economy and society, and what lessons we can learn from the Indian experience. Aditya Valiathan Pillai is a fellow with the Initiative for Climate, Energy and Environment (ICEE) at the Centre for Policy Research (CPR). He studies the social and economic consequences of climate impacts in India and South Asia, and the policies and institutions that can help adapt to these changes. His current work focuses on strengthening policies to combat extreme heat. He also studies the forms and varieties of national climate institutions, with a specific focus on how India should restructure its institutions to achieve mitigation and adaptation objectives.

Today's episode is a bit of a departure from the usual. I'm going to take you back in time to the beginning of Girl Gotta Hike, or actually, before the beginning. Living in New York City, it's all too easy for me to get tied into the day-to-day hustle and while I often dream of heading out on long hikes, it's been the rare occasion that I've been able to step out of the fast lane for an extended break. In the summer of 2017, I had become an officially licensed Outdoor Guide. I hadn't quite worked up the courage to lead my own hikes yet, and my website was a series of blog posts from my John Muir Trail thru-hike from the year prior. But that December, the neon sign for my next adventure started flashing right in front of my eyes.  I got an invitation to join a small group of photographers on trek up to Mount Everest Base Camp, and in a few short months, I found myself traveling halfway around the world with William Vazquez, photographer and founder of Camera Voyages, plus four other new York city based photographers. And it was five years ago this week that we reached Mount Everest Base Camp, at 17,598 feet above sea level. The journey to get there has been taken by many before us and many since, but walking amongst the highest mountains in the world was unbelievably special, and somehow, despite the lack of oxygen in the air, I had enough reserves to write down my daily  experience along the way.  This episode covers the first 7 days of my trek, from Katmandu to Namche Bazaar. Part two will be headed your way next week.Anjali's Cup Turmeric Blends — use code “GIRLGOTTAHIKE” for 15% off your cart at anjaliscup.comGossamer Gear — use code “GIRLGOTTAHIKEGOSSAMER” for 15% off your first purchase at GossamerGear.comCheck out GG's amazing backpack lineup here:Mariposa (60-Liter)Gorilla (50-Liter)G4-20 (42-Liter)Kumo 36 (36-Liter)Camera Voyages travel companyInto Thin Air, by Jon KrakauerEverest, 2015 movieKancha Sherpa FoundationNirvana Home, Namche Bazaar

Incatenata agli stereotipi nepalesi, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa non aveva avuto modo di sperimentare con costanza la sua passione per l'alpinismo, ma - nel 1990 - aveva inanellato una serie di ascese di rilievo.Dal Nepal si spostò sulle Alpi con l'obiettivo di salire sulla cima del Monte Bianco; quel viaggio così lontano da casa non fu soltanto un successo personale ma anche per tutte le donne sel suo paese, Pasang Lhamu fu infatti la prima nepalese a mettere piede sulla più alta vetta delle Alpi. Questa figura così controcorrente cominciò a ritagliarsi uno spazio importante in un Nepal in fervore, all'apice di un tumulto popolare voglioso di democrazia dopo una storia secolare legata alla monarchia. In questo contesto i movimenti femministi spingevano fortemente affinché fosse riconosciuta la parità dei sessi, ma in uno stato in cui la politica era dominata dall'uomo questi venti di modernità fecero fatica a imporsi. Le donne, cresciute ed educate dal folclore di usanze e tradizioni a tratti esoteriche, cominciarono ad attaccarsi a questa rivoluzionaria che dal distretto di Solukhumbu, in una regione sperduta fra le montagne nepalesi, aveva cominciato a vivere la una vita. Scardinando e demolendo ogni preconcetto.Politica e alpinismo si incrociarono definitivamente nel 1990 quando si aprì la possibilità che aspettava da una vita. Alle pendici dell'Everest tutti i riflettori erano puntati su di lei, su quella figura così controversa che - diventata madre di tre figli - cominciava i preparativi per l'assalto al tetto del mondo, la sua montagna di casa.Contatto mail: andataeritorno.podcast@gmail.comMusic by Epidemic Sound

Ekim'de bu sütunda çıkan yazımızın başlığı şöyleydi: “Siyonist'miş: Liz gelir, Truss gider!” ««« İngiltere'nin “Çiçeği Burnunda” Başbakanı Truss, İsrail'e yaltaklanmak için “Ben büyük bir Siyonist'im, İsrail'in büyük bir destekçisiyim!” diyordu. ««« Amma velakin, ne oldu? İstifa etmek zorunda kaldı... Yani, Siyonistliği de onu kurtaramadı! ««« Koltuğunda sadece 45 gün oturabildi: -Liz (Vız) geldi, Trus (Tırıs) gitti! ««« Bir başka deyişle “En Kısa Süreli İngiltere Başbakanı” unvanını kazandı.

ABD Başkanı'na, Cidde Havalimanındaki karşılamada düşük protokol uygulandı. Cidde Zirvesi'ne katılan Arap ülkelerinin liderlerini tek tek karşıladı, Muhammed Bin Selman... Buna mukabil, mendebur Biden'ı özellikle orada karşılamadı! « Nitekim... Alman Die Welt gazetesi, üç sene evvel Putin'in Suudi Arabistan'daki karşılanışı ile Biden'a uygulanan düşük protokolü kıyasladı. Bu pek belirgin farkın, Suudi yönetiminin her iki ülkeye yönelik tutumunu gösterdiğine dikkat çekti. Şöyle: “Suudi yönetimi, mevcut ihtilafta ABD'nin değil Rusya'nın tarafında yer alıyor!” KAŞIKÇI SUİKASTI “Hem suçlu, hem de güçlü!” ABD'nin Başı Joe Biden, medyaya... MBS ile yaptığı görüşmede, ona “Kaşıkçı cinayetinin sorumlusu sensin!” dediğini söyledi. Prens ise Biden'a “Hayır sorumlusu ben değilim!” demiş. « Düzenbaz Joe Biden “Kaşıkçı konusunda hala daha ne denli hassas oldukları” algısına yatırım yapıyor. Dahası... Bu lafıyla; hunharca işlenmiş cinayetin perde arkasında CIA'in yer aldığı gerçeğinin üzerini sıkıca örtmüş oluyor! OSWALD ÖRNEĞİNDEKİ GİBİ Cemal Kaşıkçı Suikastı “kıyamete kadar!” MBS'nin üzerinde kaldı. Bu mevzudaki psikolojik harekât, çoktan amacına ulaştı.

Clay Shaw Davası sırasında New Orleans Başsavcısı Jim Garrison tarafından kanıtlanmıştı. Ne var ki, derin baskı altındaki mahkeme göz göre göre gerçeği hasıraltı etti! « Yıllarca sonra (1991'de) ünlü yönetmen Oliver Stone bu defa “aynı mahkemeyi” film setinde kurdu ve derin gerçekleri detaylarıyla anlattı. Böylece, JFK'in aslında CIA tarafından öldürüldüğü; sadece Amerikan halkına değil bütün dünyaya gösterilmiş oldu. « 1991'den günümüze kadar, gün ışığına çıkan başka birçok delille de bu gerçek teyit edildi. Gelgelelim, 2022'de bile ısrarla “Başkan Kennedy'yi Oswald öldürdü” deniliyor! « Defalarca kanıtlanmış bir derin komploya, hiç utanmadan “komplo teorisi” muamelesi çekiliyor.

Cinayeti Suudi Arabistan Hanedanı'nda konuşlanmış “Gizlice ABD'ye çalışan” İnfaz Timi'nin tetikçilerine işlettirdiğini...

This week, we are going on a grand adventure to the high mountains of Nepal. In 2015, I was fortunate enough to go trekking in Nepal to Everest Base Camp with Hari Bohara of Himalayan Trekking Alliance as my guide, and I am happy to say that I have finally been able to get him on the show this week to talk about what it's like to prepare for a long multi-day trek in Nepal. We will talk about how Hari became a guide, what you need to get ready to set off on your trek, what it's like to land at one of the world's most dangerous airports, and the day-to-day life of hiking at high altitude on your way to Everest Base Camp. Are you ready for an adventure? Then, tune in and let's go to Nepal with Hari.   

Now that we are in April, the trekking and climbing season will get serious. Many teams have already arrived and are trekking. Several teams are acclimatizing on their 8000-meter peaks while the Icefall Doctors are constructing the route through the Khumbu Icefall to Camp 2. Soon it will be time to climb! In this podcast, I discuss teams arriving but go into detail on the time our climbers arrive in Kathmandu, flying to Lukla, the start of the trek to Everest Base Camp. I hope you enjoy it. Climb On!

The Himalayas are daunting, from the flight landing into Lukla, a city perched on cliffs, to the hanging glaciers of Ama Dablan. Erin and Emily share Part 2 of their Everest Base Camp Trek in 2004. They describe the awesome magesty of the mountains and the kind and tough Nepali people. All was well until their crew hit 15,000 ft, then tragedy struck.  

Before summiting Mount Everest - the highest peak in the world, Harshvardhan had many more things to conquer- physical health, his mind, the financial difficulties, and it being 2021- even Covid 19. At multiple points, there were obstructions leading to several changes of plans but that did not deter him, and this year in May, he made history.Join Gauri Devidayal as she speaks to Harshvardhan Joshi who shares his journey to the top of the world, his love for the mountains, and how he got there.Follow his journey at https://sangharsh.co/Facebook| LinkedIn | InstagramIn good news, 'The Table' has been nominated for 'India's Best Restaurant 2021' at the World Culinary Awards.

The season continues on schedule and as normal as possible in this difficult year. Reports of helicopter evacuations have slowed to a trickle either because they are not happening or no one is talking. We know for sure the government is mum. Let's assume there are no new cases and hope for the best. Slowly a few teams are revealing that they brought rapid test kits and are doing regular testing. Not sure why it was felt important to keep this quiet, perhaps none of our business I suppose. I think it should have been mandated by the government from the start. One bit of good news is a dump of almost nine inches of snow made the Lhotse Face more manageable. Climbing a steep slope on snow is much less stressful than on hard, solid ice. The Everest area continues to be a busy place with people spread from Lukla to Namache, base camp and the high camps of 1, 2, 3, and the South Col. Everyone is in various stages of preparing for their summit bid that should begin soon. If you think that it is late for the first summits, let look at the last decade or so. As you can see the earliest summits by the rope team and members was May 5, and the latest was May 18 in 2012.

Erik grew up hiking and climbing in Oregon and fell in love with adventure travel during a 12-month backpacking tour of New Zealand, Southeast Asia, India, and Nepal. He has accompanied Embark treks to the top of Kilimanjaro, up and down the length of the Everest region, and across the Wadi Musa Desert in Jordan. But this week, we decided to dive deep into his 10+ Everest Base Camp treks. Listen in as Erik walks us through what you can experience from Day One in Kathmandu heading to Lukla, through the scenic and community towns of Nepal up to Everest Base Camp and all the way back to your celebratory pizza and beer at the famous Fire and Ice Tavern. Erik shares his super top secret pro-tips you won't find in any guide book and a few Type2Fun stories along the way. Learn more at www.embarkexplorationco.com

After landing in Lukla and meeting my guide Anup, we realised one of my bags hadn’t made the flight and would be coming on the next one in an hour or so. Nobody seemed to stressed about this so we found a tea house with a great view of the infamous runway and had some breakfast. Sure enough the duffle arrived as promised along with our porter who committed to carrying both my bags! If that wasn’t impressive enough I was soon to realise he carries them strapped to his forehead Anup & I were soon on our way in what turned out to be a very gentle 2.5 hour trek to Phakding. What took me by surprise was that it was most downhill. The route was quiet and peaceful with a beautiful whistling wind circling the valley plus a hot sun for company if you stopped too long. We crossed paths with yaks, donkeys & mules, troops of dogs, fellow trekkers, locals slowly going about their days and the warming sight of full families of western tourists returning form Namche or further afield. We arrived into Phakding for an early lunch in our quaint lodgings. With my knees screaming at me from travel stiffness and all the downhill, I took to the garden for some stretching much to the amusement of some passing locals. The rest of the day was made up of napping, eating, more stretching, a full gear check with Anup and a 30 mins walk to the far side of the small town to the first of many suspension bridges we will cross over the next few days.

Os brasileiros estão em Katmandu acertando os últimos detalhes para o voo para Lukla. Ouça e comente!

The Khumbu is starting to fill up with climbers. With now over 138 Everest permits issued, they have left Kathmandu and most flew to Lukla, the traditional start of the week-long walk to Everest Base Camp. For some, the flight to Lukla will be a highlight of their trip.

So last week, Elisha and I embarked on a wild challenge. To walk 62km in a day to raise funds for the GoFund Me Campaign to reunite Sancha and his 5-year-old son in Nepal and also help out the community in Lukla.  The challenge was going to be both mentally and physically exhausting and while Elisha managed to reach the 62km, my experience ended a little abruptly when my body basically said 'not today' and I was forced to call it at 30km in. (I was also carrying 30kg on my back the entire time)This episode is all about what our experiences were like and how they differed mentally as well as what we both learnt from it.

Michael Markesbery is the Co-Founder and CEO of Oros. Michael has always been a self-proclaimed science geek. During his sophomore year at Miami University, he took a backpacking trip to the Swiss Alps. After triumphantly making it to the top of the tallest mountain, he was disappointed to realize he looked like the Michelin Man, wearing layers upon layers of puffy goose down coats to keep him warm. He didn't get it. With all this incredible innovation happening in other industries, why was outerwear the same old, same old? When he got back to school, he learned about aerogel, the best insulation in the universe. It's the thing that NASA puts in space shuttles to keep the astronauts warm in space. He thought immediately that this stuff needed to be in every jacket on the planet. After some experimentation and trial and error to get the aerogel into a form that worked for apparel, Lukla was born. Today, Lukla goes by a new name…Oros.At Oros, Michael and his team make next generation consumer apparel. Their tagline “Find Your Beyond” couldn't be more true as their clothes are designed to withstand the coldest elements. You can literally wear a T-shirt and their jacket at the top of a mountain and stay completely warm. Today, they sell jackets, midlayers and pants as well as a few accessories for both men and women, but it's easy to see where they could go from here.This was an inspiring interview that opened my mind up to what's possible in the apparel space.Tune in to hear Michael's story!Use code “Founder” at checkout to get 15% off all Oros products through the end of August.EPISODE TOPICS: (2:28) What does Oros look like today (mission, vision, products, size)? (3:18) What is your background and what were you working on before starting Oros? (14:20) How have you tackled fashion vs function when designing your products?(17:30) Who are your core customers and how much education does it take to get them to purchase Oros products?(20:02) How do you think about competition? (22:15) What marketing strategies have worked for Oros?(25:20) What will Oros look like in 5-10 years?(26:13) What do you look for in people you hire?(32:04) What's the biggest investor lesson you've learned?(34:01) What has been your most frustrating/validating moment as a founder?(39:54) If you could teleport back to when you started, what would tell yourself?(44:48) What resources would you recommend to others? (45:38) Michael's startup manifesto (46:43) Michael's founder nomination Oros - www.orosapparel.comFollow Oros (@orosapparel) on Instagram // TwitterFollow Michael (@michaelmarkesbery) on Instagram // Twitter // LinkedIn Michael's learning and resource recommendations The Founder - www.thefounderpod.com Follow The Founder (@founderpodcast) on Instagram // Twitter // LinkedIn // Facebook

New Paltz Rotarian Laura Rooney has had many adventures all over the world, but she still had Mount Everest on her “bucket list” until recently when she turned 50 and thought it was time to get on with it. Not quite true mountain climbers, some 40,000 persons each year hike far up Everest with no desire to use the special equipment most climbers need to reach the 27,000-ft-high peak—Everest Base Camp is high enough, at 17,500 feet, for serious hikers; it is some 3,000 feet higher than the highest peak in the lower 48 states. Ms. Rooney describes what it is like to fly into Lukla, Nepal, arriving at the most dangerous airport in the world. Then, with Sherpas as guides, she walked 4 or 5 miles for 8 days up the mountain for a rise in elevation of 8,000 more feet to reach Everest Base Camp, spending the nights in various villages or camps along the way. She was part of a small group of 15 trekkers who slept on mats in small dome tents. When they reached Everest Base Camp, they were living on a glacier. Being a Rotarian, she got people to sponsor her hike by donating to the New Paltz Rotary’s BackPack Program, and she wore ribbons honoring the contributors on her own backpack as she climbed. Downhill was easier, only a 4-day hike.

Trekking to Everest base camp at 5,380 meters is not an easy adventure, but the reward is spending time in the incredible mountain landscapes of the Himalayas.  Russ Hepton began his 2-week trek starting in Kathmandu Nepal.  After an exhilarating 45-minute helicopter flight to Lukla he set out with his guide toward Namche Bazaar at 3,340 meters and spent a day acclimating.  The trek continued toward Dingboche at 4,410 meters and another rest day.  After reaching Everest base camp he attempted a challenging hike toward the top of Kala Patthar which stands at 5,643 meters.  You can learn more at his YouTube channel called The Trail Hunter and his website thetrailhunter.com.  Russ Hepton, welcome to The Pursuit Zone.

From 1 April 2019, the flight to Lukla will operate from Manthali Airport due to maintenance of Tribhuvan International Airport. This change will long last from three months till 30 June 2019. In this episode of Nepal Tourism Podcast we will be talking about the Change in Lukla flight and related issues.

Nous voilà de retour au Népal, cette fois dans sa région star du Solukhumbu, le toit du monde et la terre des Sherpas. Le voyage commence dans le Solu, où l’on arrive par Phaplu. Cette partie, moins connue que le Khumbu voisin, a pourtant tant à offrir au voyageur. C'est l'endroit idéal pour du trek en moyenne montagne dans une nature verdoyante sur fond de pics himalayens majestueux. C'est aussi la découverte du grand monastère de Chiwong où est célébré le festival Mani Rimdu chaque année. C'est encore la rencontre avec les "chasseurs de miel" perchés sur de hautes falaises, une activité aussi impressionnante que périlleuse. L'aventure continue ensuite dans le Khumbu, que l'on rejoint en trek ou par un atterrissage mémorable à Lukla. De là débute l'un des treks les plus fameux au monde, sur le chemin du camp de base de l'Everest. A partir de là, deux priorités pour le voyageur / aventurier : gérer les effets de l'altitude et s'imprégner au maximum de la beauté et de la grandeur des sommets himalayens : Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Gokyo Ri... Et inévitablement, le chemin mène jusqu'à Gorakshep et le Kala Patthar pour un point de vue imprenable sur l'Everest et ses 8848 mètres. C'est de tout cela et bien plus encore dont nous parlons dans cet épisode avec Thierry Robinet, véritable amoureux du Népal, l'un de ses quatre pays fétiches en Asie. J'en profite aussi pour partager ma récente expédition jusqu'à l'Island Peak, toujours dans ce merveilleux Parc national de Sagarmatha. Toute une aventure !

Everything You Need to Know about Skydiving Everest (Podcast Show Notes) I interviewed an old friend from my skydiving days, Tom Noonan about skydiving Everest. We knew each other from our time in Lake Wales and Skydive Deland. He works for UPT, and I used to work for UPT when I lived in Florida. Tom Noonan has over 3,500 skydives and has been skydiving Everest since 2008. He also along with Wendy Smith hold the world record for the highest parachute landing at 17,192 feet. If you have questions about Skydive Everest or want to Skydive Everest, Tom can help make that dream come true.  Listen above to the interview with Tom or listen to Experiences You Should Have where you listen to podcasts to hear the full interview and the experience of skydiving Everest! What is the Most Adventurous Thing You can Do in Life?   Skydiving Everest is definitely one of the most extreme things you could do. Skydiving in a remote and scenic location, and place that skydiving experience in the remote Himalaya, while integrating HALO, makes skydiving Everest the ultimate experience. Photo by Wendy Smith   What is a HALO Jump?   A HALO jump is High Altitude Low Opening skydive. Low opening means you have taken a long delay and open at a normal opening altitude or lower. Many times HALO jumps are used in military skydiving, however, there are many licensed skydivers who aren't military who do HALO jumps and you can skydive Everest with a tandem instructor and partake in a HALO jump.    Why Go Skydiving at Mt. Everest?   You will leave Nepal a changed person. There is something about Nepal. The universe makes more sense there than anywhere else in the world. It’s impossible to describe the experience that people have, but it is life changing.   The power of that part of the world, being immersed in that environment is like nothing else in the world. Tom has always said that he has left part of his soul in the Himalaya and everytime he returns, he feels like he is coming home. How do you get to Mount Everest to go Skydiving?   Getting to Everest is a long trip. From the US it’s a 21-hour flight (quicker flights). Once you arrive in Katmandu, it’s like NYC. It’s busy, bustling, there’s people, activity everywhere. The following day they take a flight to Lukla, which is 9,000 feet above sea level and is the world’s most dangerous airport. You can only land one direction, no matter what the winds are doing. The pilots there are extraordinarily talented. It’s the equivalent of landing on an aircraft carrier without landing on an aircraft carrier.   Once in Lukla, you are at the entryway to the Himalaya. They then start a trek for 2 days. They walk 8-12 miles in those 2 days and ascend from 9,000 feet to 11,000 feet, then they spend 2 days acclimating to 11,500 feet. For most people, being at 5,000 feet will wind people. The higher you go, the more you need to work on climatizing. Your heart will increase, and their breath will increase, so they take their time with their trek.   During the time of acclimating they stay at tea houses, a big house with 30 rooms or so with a common kitchen and common area. They feed you and is a nice place to rest. Is there a city or town in the Himalayas? There is a little town called, Namche (population 1,600), and it actually has a coffee shop, bars, pizza, and more. Cafe 8848  is a great place to rest and work on climatizing. In Namche, they have pizzas, restaurants and some of highest bar tabs are had up there. Tom doesn’t consume any alcohol up there because one beer has the effect of 2-3 beers. It’s easier to get dehydrated, so Tom recommends using a level of caution when drinking at high altitudes. Where is the Airport to Skydive Next to Everest? 700 feet above Namche is a 1200 foot dirt runway, the Syangboche airport, one of the highest airports in the world. This is the setup for the dropzone where you can skydive Everest!

Everest Base Camp, Nepal-Ultimate Trekking Adventure Part 1 One of the must do adventures on the planet, Everest Base Camp! I've been lucky enough to have trekked in several regions of Nepal and EBC is still one of my favorites.This was my second time around and loved it just as much as the first! The views are spectacular and the adventure begins from Kathmandu as you cross your fingers there's good conditions for your flight to Lukla, and Tenzing/Hillary Airport, one of the most dangerous airports in the world. Due to the late monsoon season this year many trekkers ahead of us were delayed up to 7 days, insane! We were sent back to Kathmandu/Thamel after the first day we tried-flight cancelled. Second day we were on the 3rd flight but due to a minor mechanical problem with our plane we were taken back to Kathmandu half-way through the flight. Finally an hour later we were back up in the air and on our way to Lukla.The nice part of the Everest Base Camp is the fact that on day 2 you already have views of Everest, weather permitting, and all of the other spectacular peaks of this portion of the range. I am also a partner in Sacred Trekking, an adventure outfitter based in Kathmandu. We provide fantastic guides and life-long memories of your trek or visit to Nepal.

Right from the start our trek to Everest Base Camp was a true adventure. From our one day delay, to an aborted flight to Lukla and a final helicopter ride back to Kathmandu upon completion of the trek. The one important piece of advice I'd pass on to anyone contemplating a trek to Everest Base Camp? Allow buffer time on the front end and back end of your trek in case of bad weather. This trek has the most problems with sticking to a schedule as you are dependant on good weather in Lukla in order for flights to depart from Kathmandu. Same thing on the back end for your return flight. I spoke with one woman who was on her third attempt to fly to Lukla. Many people waited up to 7 days to arrive in or leave Lukla. Much of this was due to the late monsoon season but it's still an issue when planning your trek. Helicopters are an option but expect to pay anywhere from $400-$500 USD each way!It's been an absolute dream to be creating podcasts during my one month stay in Nepal. Would love to hear from you. Shoot me an email to john@fareasttravels.com. A positive review in the iTunes Store is also much appreciated and helps others discover the podcast!

A little delay for my group but some people had been waiting 7 days to catch a flight to Lukla the start of the Everest Base Camp Trek! The late monsoon season has put a bit of a damper on the start of trekking in the Khumbu Valley Everest region of Nepal. This update finds me on day 3 Of our Trek with a beautiful viewing day of Everest and the rest of the giants of this part of the Himalaya. More updates to come as I make my way to Everest Base Camp!

Holiday mountain flying special! In episode 3, we speak to senior Nepalese mountain flying captain Binod Puri right after he flies me to Lukla, the "world's most dangerous airport". Tenzing-Hillary airport is an exceptional altiport: a one-way 1.729ft (527m) sloped runway at an altitude of 9.2000ft (2800m) with an 11.7% gradient, a cliff on one end and a stone wall on the other, towering mountains on all sides and unpredictable, fast-changing weather.

Everest Base Camp Trek Tips The Everest Base Camp Trek: could you do it? Could you conquer it, on your own, independently and with two kids? That's what Ronnie and Any Jones have done. When most people attempt the Everest Base Camp hike, they buy loads of equipment and/or hire a tour company and guides to help them make it happen. Not the Jones family. In this episode, we talk to them about how they managed to do the Everest Base Camp Trek on their own, without porters or a travel agency. If you've ever dreamed of Everest Base Camp hike, then listen in. It's not for the faint of heart, but they loved it so much they've made new plan to hike the Himalayas again. ::: Like what you’re hearing? Then please subscribe, rate & review Epic Education Radio.

Hiking the Himalayas as a suburban family with no prior experience? That's another thing entirely. But that's what Ronnie and Any Jones decided to do. It was one of the most meaningful experiences their family's had thus far in their adventures. The Everest Base Camp Trek (a.k.a. the EBC) is no small feat, but once they decided to take on the challenge, they found a way to make it work. In this episode, I talk to Ronnie and Any about how they planned their Everest Base Camp Hike. We discuss why they chose to do the Everest Base Camp hike independently rather than going through a large and expensive travel agency. Looking for Backpacks & Other Travel Gear?

Less than a year ago, they were living in the United States (St. Louis, MO.) with only a Canadian Stamp in their passport. Fast-forward to the present, and they've been on the road, traveling in Asia for nearly nine months. Most of that time was spent traveling in Southeast Asia, but they had one crazy idea: walk the Everest Base Camp Trek. Unlike many who do the Everest Base Camp Trek, they decided to do it on their own. They arranged flights, acquired gear and stayed in Nepalese tea houses along the way. They planned their Everest Base Camp hike as they traveled so that by the time they reached Nepal, they were ready. Here's how it went down. Before the Everest Base Camp Trek — a Prelude Long before the Everest Base Camp hike became a dream, the Jones family was living in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. Yet they had aspirations to see more of the world. Their first step was to sell their stuff, buy an RV and travel around the US, visiting National Parks. As they traveled, hiking and trekking became something their family loved to do. As travel in Southeast Asia became their focus, Ronnie looked online for potential places to hike. Of course, the mother of all treks appeared: the Everest Base Camp Trek. That's when Ronnie knew he wanted his family to see "The Big Guy." Mount Everest itself. They started their Southeast Asian travels in Bali, moving on to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and other exotic locales. And as they traveled, they planned their Everest Base Camp hike from afar. They had around eight months to prepare for the climb to Everest Base Camp. Our Destinations Page Has Travel Tips for Bali, Vietnam, Malaysia, & More  Why Attempt the Everest Base Camp Trek Independently? I ask Ronnie and Amy about why they chose to do the Everest Base Camp hike on their own. Why not hire guides? Why not go through a travel company. Ronnie says that he is not discouraging people who plan their Everest Base Camp Trek with professionals. Indeed, there are many benefits to going with them. For example, if you walk the Everest Base Camp Trek with a tour company, all your flights and accommodation are taken care of by them. In addition, you get porters, local sherpas who will carry your heaviest bags up the trail for you. According to Ronnie, there were many times along the EBC that they wished they had those porters. After all, the family has a Youtube channel to run. That means Ronnie was carrying a laptop, cameras and other electronics. Another benefit of doing the Everest Base Camp hike with a tour group is that most things are already paid for. Since they hiked the EBC independently, they had to carry lost of cash on them. When to Plan an Everest Base Camp Trek According to Ronnie, there are two main Himalaya hiking seasons. Most people do the Everest Base Camp hike between May and June or during a window in November. That way, you avoid hiking the Himalayas during the rainy season or in the coldest part of the year. Their entire trip needed to fit into one of these windows. The Benefits of Doing Everest Base Camp Hike Alone   If you can hike the Himalayas with someone carrying your stuff, why wouldn't you? Well, money is one thing. Ronnie explains that it's cheaper to do the EBC on your own. The Everest Base Camp cost isn't as high as you might think it is, and we discuss how they prepared for that as well. That said, the real benefit of independent trekking was time. Most tours that do the Everest Base Camp hike are in and out very quickly. Ronnie and Amy wanted to give their kids — and themselves — enough time to adjust to the altitude. They wanted to be physically ready to do the EBC on their own schedule. That turned out to be the right solution for them. Altitude Sickness (& Other Obstacles) During an Everest Base Camp Trek Hiking in the Himalayas brings you to great heights. This is a potential hazard. One of the most dangerous aspects of hiking the Everest Base Camp trek is altitude sickness. It could come in the form of intense headaches. Or it could manifest itself as nausea. It could be both, or worse. For some, if they're not careful, hiking the Himalayas can be deadly. Ronnie and Amy wanted to make sure they had enough time to arrive acclimate before hitting the trail. "Our secret weapon was time," he says. This turned out to be true, as they needed that time. Perhaps it was partly due to altitude sickness, but there were other health problems as well. Murphy's Law struck. Amy and the boys both fell ill in the days and weeks leading up to their Everest Base Camp hike. They had just traveled through Thailand, Vietnam, and India with almost no health issues. Now they faced strep throat, an eye infection and digestive issues. Right as their dream of the hiking the Himalayas becomes reality. As a consequence, they postponed their hike to EBC for a week. But they had time. Therefore, they were able to rest and recover in Kathmandu and push back the EBC trek until everyone was feeling better. Kathmandu: The Gateway to the Everest Base Camp Trek While in Kathmandu, the Jones family bought or rented everything they needed for the Everest Base Camp hike. They had just been traveling in Southeast Asia. Of course, they didn't want to be lugging around boots, sleeping bags, and parkas. Instead, they found everything they needed in Thamel, an area of Kathmandu that Ronnie calls "the trekking supply capital of the world." Here they rented sleeping bags, backpacks and down coats. Everything else they bought. The total cost of gear for the Everest Base Camp hike? Less than USD $1,000, and that's for a family of four. According to Ronnie, it's completely possible to hire your own guides and porters from here. There were plenty of capable, certified guides and porters for hire. Just makes sure they're certified, he says. The Most Dangerous Airport in the World Ronnie describes flying into Lukla, which is often known as "the most dangerous airport in the world. There's a mountain on one side of the runway. There's a cliff on the other. Flying in on small prop-planes, the pilots have to get it right. It didn't help that there were still some rough bellies on the flight, but they made it. Training for the Everest Base Camp Trek Hiking the Himalayas requires strength and endurance. So how did this family from St Louis prepare to walk the EBC while on the road? Part of their training, Ronnie says, is simply finding as many hikes and treks as they traveled. Another crucial component was Insanity Max 30. The family did this high-intensity workout program every day for the two months leading up to flying to Nepal. Gear: What They Needed for the EBC (and What They Didn't) I asked Ronnie and Amy about specific hiking gear or other things that were essential to their Everest Base Camp Hike. Aside from boots and clothing, what did you need? And what didn't you need to hike the Himalayas? One of the most important items in their bags were supplements that they refer to as "stoppers" and "goers." And when I say "stoppers" and "goers," this is all about the toilet. Sometimes you need to go. Then there were other times where your body wants to go, but you're hiking the EBC and need to stop that urge quickly. When you're eating a steady diet of Dal Baht (lentils and rice), that can affect people differently. They used bentonite clay and supplements from Dr. Schulze's line to control this on the hike. Sunscreen and water were other essential items for hiking the Himalayas and other high-altitude places. The sun along the Everest Base Camp hike will scorch any exposed skin. By the same token, the thin, dry air can dehydrate someone much faster than they think. This goes double if you're hiking uphill for hours and hours each day. Another sun protector they mentioned is a buff. Somewhere between a scarf and a neck-warmer, a buff makes it easy to cover your neck, ears, and face when needed. Surprisingly, one thing Ronnie says he didn't need was a big, nice flashlight. The extra weight was a burden and they ended up using the light on their phones at night anyway. Go figure! Looking for Backpacks & Other Travel Gear? What's Next After Hiking the EBC? The Jones family is already planning their next big Himalaya hike. This time, they're going to K2 in Pakistan. And they're not going alone. Fellow family travel blogger (and friend of the show) Alyson Long and her family will be joining them. Would you like to hike K2 with them? If so, they're looking for a third family to round out their team. If your family is interested and up to the task, get in touch. This is no walk in the park, so serious applicants only! Have You Been to Everest Base Camp? Would You Want To? This is a serious question. To be honest, hiking the Himalayas is not at the top of my list. Keiko and I hate cold weather, and you would just have to enjoy winter to hike the Everest Base Camp trek. Then there's the Everest Base Camp cost. For that money, I'd rather be sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere. How about you? Are you up for hiking the Himalayas? Do you want to know how to go to Everest Base Camp? Tell us in the comments!

Mt.Everest(Sagarmatha)8848m, view from Kala Patthar-5545m in Nepal's Khumbu Valley region[/caption] It’s one of the most coveted treks in the world. Everest Base Camp, Nepal. Far East Adventure Travel is proud to present two podcasts completely devoted to the magic of trekking this region. From crossing the sometimes trecherous Chola Pass to the final steps arriving at Everest Base Camp. And an early morning ascent of Kala Patthar for one of the best views of Everest in all of Nepal. Join me John Saboe for one of Asia’s great adventures. Trekking to Everest Base Camp. Everest Base Camp, Nepal. Right from the start I was in for a hair raising experience. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, rated as one of the most dangerous airports in the world is often canceled in October, the busy season due to weather conditions. If it’s not cloudy or windy in Lukla, it is in Kathmandu, making it extremely tricky to complete scheduled flights. You can be stranded in Lukla for days waiting for a weather window. Same this goes in Kathmandu. Days! You can avoid the whole worry of flight delays and dangerous weather conditions by trekking all the way to Lukla. Take a bus from Kathmandu to Jiri, about 9 hours. Then just walk for a week! For me, I was extremely lucky to be on one of the first flights that day from Kathmandu to the start of the trek with favorable weather conditions. Previously I had trekked in a couple of regions in Nepal and had been to Everest Base Camp in Tibet. Up until now I had avoided the EBC trek for more remote and quieter trails in Nepal’s Himalaya. But this was the same ground that many mountaineers had trampled including the first two to summit the world’s highest mountain, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. My curiousity with the trails, the lore of the region and the super friendly Sherpa people that make up the largest ethnic group in the Khumbu Valley could no longer be suppressed because of some crowded trails and teahouses with wine bars. As we approached Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla I couldn’t help but think about the History Channel show Most Extreme Airports. In 2010 it rated Tenzing/Hillary the most dangerous airport in the world. There’s no chance for a go around, meaning an aborted landing on final approach due to the high terrain beyond the northern end of the runway. At the southern end, a steeply angled drop into the valley. A safe landing, and an exciting start to one of the world’s great treks! Just have to dodge a few yak before we started. Good practise for the crowded trails we were about to enter. Lukla actually means place of goat or sheep, but all I ever saw were yak, and maybe some horses. As this town is the start and finish for trekking in the Khumbu and Gokyo Valleys there are many lodges, guesthouses, restaurants and even an Irish Pub here! One last stop at the police station for permit checks and we were on our way. At Thadakoshi the first of many steel suspension bridges over the Dud Khosi River we would cross. We took a rest and lunch at Phakding, where most stay the night before trekking onward the next day to Namache Bazaar. The porters with boundless energy take a break for a game of volleyball. I had heard that the trails in the Khumbu Valley were crowded in the peak season in October but I was not prepared for the constant herds of yaks used for moving in camping and supplies for the big trekking groups as well as just bringing goods into the valley for many guesthouses and lodges here. Always remember to move to the side when you see caravans coming. These creatures can get quite nasty. It’s always a great experience to hike through different landscapes and geography on a single trek. The lower Khumbu Dud Khosi valley is full of grazing animals, rich forests and waterfalls. We arrived at our lodgings for the night in the village of Monjo at an altitude of 2835 meters. The guesthouses at these lower elevations are quite luxurious compared to the high altitude. So it’s a good time to appreciate an attached bathroom with a flush toilet and hot water. The next morning we were heading to the gate of Sagarmatha National Park, Sagarmatha is the Nepali name for Mt. Everest. Including Everest, the park is home to 8 peaks over 7000 meters high. It’s also where rare species like the Snow Leopard and Lesser or red panda reside. This is also another police station where permits are checked and trekkers registered. The next stop would be Namche Bazaar, the second largest village in the Khumbu Valley that also has the claim of being the most expensive town in Nepal. Most everything transported into Namche Bazaar must come in on the back of a horse or yak. Sorry though no Mr. Doughnut here, and one piece might cost up to $3. It’s also an acclimatization stop with most staying over two nights before heading into the high Himalaya. More steel suspension bridge crossings and busy trails before a brief rest stop. This one with special prominence as the first chance to gaze at the top of the highest mountain in the world, Everest. One last checkpoint before arriving in Namche Bazaar and a customary kora of the Buddhist stupa that greets you at the entrance to the village. It’s a good place for a two night stay with lots of shops where you can pick up last minute trekking supplies. There’s also plenty of cafes and souvenir stalls. The next morning we walked up the steep steps of the village for an acclimatization hike and to fix our eyes on the most famous peaks on the planet. Just an everyday place for these kids from the Home Away from Home School, where children in the Khumbu Valley can get a solid education without being separated from their families. The snow-capped peak to the left-Mt. Everest 8848meters. The highest surface point on the planet, the roof of the world. The weather can change without warning at high altitude. Within minutes our views of some of the most prominent peaks of the Khumbu Valley disappeared. Ama Dablam, not the highest but certainly one of the most beautiful mountains in the world at first thickly veiled, eventually vanishing in the clouds. The hundreds of trekkers continued to move up from the village,views or no views, putting in their necessary acclimatization time to ensure a successful Everest Base Camp trek. We had finished our work for the day and were back to the crowds, traffic jams and gridlock of Namche Bazaar. The next morning we returned to the trail with the spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam joined by the hundreds of others who were on EBC itineraries. Nearly 10,000 tourists will visit the Khumbu Valley or Everest region on average in October, the busiest time of the year. You really must pay attention when trekking these trails especially when so many others are walking both ways. Not to mention the hundreds of horses and yak used to pack in gear, food and other supplies. Stopping on the trail and stepping out of the way of trekkers and animals is the best way to enjoy the breathtaking views. You must! It was time to move off this trail at Sanasa and head for the Gokyo Valley. Later to rejoin the trail to Everest Base Camp after crossing the Chola La Pass. The Gokyo valley’s trails are much quieter even in the busy month of October compared to the Khumbu Valley. Adding a few days to an Everest Base Camp trek will send you into a Shangri La of high altitude lakes, the highest in the world, and breathtaking views of the Himalaya. Arriving at Gokyo Village with Cho Oyu, the 6th highest mountain in the world and a sunrise view of Everest and sister peaks from the top of Gokyo Ri was challenging with rewards few ever get. Returning to the Khumbu Valley and resuming the trek to Everest Base Camp would take us across the Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest in Nepal and possibly the whole Himalaya before arriving at Thangnak for an overnight rest. The next morning we would rise early for a summit of the Chola Pass at 5420 meters. This is a challenging portion of the trek with a required early 4am rise and the first hour or so in complete darkness with only a headlamp for light. I personally struggled a little on this day with a slower pace due to a strong cold I was fighting off. This can be a dangerous pass to cross with an unstable glacier at the top and slippery sections. The approach is steep and perhaps even more dangerous if you are coming from the other direction and the Khumbu Valley. A favorable weather window is important as the pass is almost impossible to cross after a heavy snowfall. Success and overwhelming joy was shared by all that day under sunny skies. There was still a few trekking hours to log in before arriving at our next stop, Dzhong lha. The views while crossing back into the Khumbu Valley were heart-stopping with Ama Dablam at 6170 meters commanding our attention as we descended into the valley. Ama Dablam means mother’s necklace, the long ridges on either side like a mother’s arms cradling a child. The hanging glacier like the double pendant worn by Sherpa women. It felt especially rewarding when we arrived in Dzhong lha after the longest and hardest day of the trek. The accomplishment of crossing the Cho La pass felt like a big check mark ticked off. It was now time to rest in the dining hall and warm up by the yak dung fuelled fire. Some of the most exciting days of the Everest Base Camp trek were still ahead. So pile on the dung my friend, we need to stay warm!
