Thank You for getting this out sooner than later! I am really enjoying your trek!! And don't feel bad if you have to spend an extra day or two at a tea house you are on your trek not on someone else's timeline relax and enjoy and don't forget to stock up on the snickers bars!! 🥰
When you decide to push through it's always an instant regret but when we reach the destination it is one of the most amazing feelings. Another beautiful edit and narration. ❤
I also trekked to Everest Base Camp without taking a flight. It took me 12 days, from October 16th to 27th, 2022, to complete the EBC trek. Additionally, I successfully crossed Cho La Pass during that trek. This was my second trek, with my first being to Tsho Rolpa Lake.
Your videos are beautiful! Thanks so much for listing your camera gear. Been looking at the s5ii lately. Your footage looks amazing. Would love to know if you’re shooting in a log profile and if you’re doing some color grading or if these are colors from a standard profile in camera. Thanks so much! Can’t wait to see more. I’m binging your old videos now ❤
15:13 the hotel owner is correct, a major portion from Namche to Tengboche is fairly flat followed by a steep incline. I was about to make the same mistake when I was there just a month back. There main trail is not there in maps.me. But hey, a missed trail is a great story ✌🏻
Thanks for the immersive experience!! Would love to know more on how to prepare for the hike, things to take, insurances to buy and permits to obtain. Would appreciate a short video covering all the aspects of your trip in terms of planning the whole thing out.
Wonderful videos, I did it with a flight to Luckla in December and wondered if it could be done without the flight ,which you've answered ,watched a lot of EBC trek videos, yours brought back a some wonderful memories
Great video, reminded me of my own experience, just like you with no guides and no porters. The REAL imperative here is to keep the weight of your bag under 12/13kgs, eventually 14 with food snacks, BUT NOT MORE. Carrying a 20 Kgs bag is hard enough in European trekking, with altitude ranging between 1500 and 3000 meters, but in Nepal, the effort is DOUBLE.
Great trek so far. There's always ups and downs but you two are handling it well. We're hoping to do EBC this year, so thanks for sharing! Safe travels!
I wish & hope you will one day do the K2-BC trek in Pakistan. It is 5x harder than this but the views & beauty is mindblowing. Accept the challenge for the future ✅️
Il faut vous lancer ! Bon, il ne faut pas être cul de jatte bien sur, mais c'est un des plus beaux treks du monde qui ne necessite pas une technicité ni des capacités physiques surhumaines. Vous pouvez le faire à votre rythme, il y a plein de lodges sur tout le parcours, avec un accueil adorable des locaux... Donc sans avoir à porter de bouffe, ni de materiel de camping autonome, et le cout des lodges reste trés raisonnable.
Hi Flora, If I would be you trekking or hiking, I would avoid drinking tea. Pros of pure organic tea are: anti-infalmmatory, provides anti-oxidants and relaxes body temporarily (by opening up arteries) Cons of tea: Contains caffeine, which increases blood pressure, deprives sleep, increases heart beats or can cause irregular heart beats, shortness of breath, and is also bad for kidneys and liver etc. Many people get addicted to caffeine because when you stop taking it, migraines will hit you hard. Tea also contains tannins, which blocks absorptions of proteins (if consumed), iron, zinc and calcium. It also causes vitamin B1 defficiency, which in turn causes anxiety. Conclusion: If you must drink tea, do not drink just before or right after the meals (drink 2-3hrs later). Loose organic green tea is better than black tea because it contains less tannins. Also, if using tea bags, they must be bleach free. Only use purest water available to make tea. Drink tea in it's purest form as well (No milk, no additives, no herbs etc).
They passed the law, but never enforced it to to very strong backlash from foreign tourists AND from the Nepali tourism professionnals, who realized it could harm the tourism industry instead of helping it. Yes, october/november is the best period to trek it. Blue skies, and not cold weather !
I wonder why you chose to hike the usual Tengboche route as there is a much more impressive high trail on the other side of the valley. The Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche High Scenic Trail offers vastly more amazing views high across the valley, lots of wildlife and practically no other trekkers. Only come down via Tengboche, makes absolutely no sense to hike the same low trail twice when there is a superior alternative available. You did not even have a guide to force you (they have no imagination) and could have walked any better route you have available.
Definitely Everest Base Camp. The Annapurna circuit has been somewhat ruined by the opening of roads on most of the tour (except between Manang and Muktinath). There are some variants or other trails off the road, but on the whole, it's not as fascinating as the EBC, especially with the panoramas).
Just love your vlogs❤️💝 based on positivity, pureness and a lot of entertainment, your content is just amazing❤️ would love to host you in pakistan in our house, lots of love from Pakistan❤️
You probably drank too much chai and water at Namche Bazaar that makes you wanna always pee 😅. The altitude sickness pills will only make you feel drowsy as part of its side effect.
Agree. And it’s also unlawful to do it without a guide. I understand the courage it took to do this trip but it’s not ethical or responsible to share this trip without local Nepali services.
@@smileyretreats Bla-bla-bla ! What a bunch of nonsense ! The mountains do NOT belong to the Nepali people, but to the world. They tried to make it "unlawful", but there was a real backlash from people who want to keep their freedom, carry their own stuff instead of relying on "slaves" (no matter how much you are paying them") and no one attempted to enforce that stupid and counterproductive law.
No and diamox is only needed if you experience bad symptoms. For the vast majority of people the EBC trek is doable. Just prepare before and be fit, don’t push over your limit, go slow, acclimatize, stop and descend if you feel really bad, eat well and drink a lot of water, eat garlic a lot. I’ve done this trek twice and I can’t see any reason to take meds before the trek.
"No guide, so we have to plan and organize everything ourselves"... Just along 1000 other trekkers on the same path... :) "which they kind of recommand you when you are above 3000 meters"... Who's THEY ??? Don't believe all the shit you hear or read on the internet.
Because Pakistan and Nepal just don't have the same vibes. Not been to Pak yet, but for knowing Nepal, I can really tell the difference... I think Pakistan CAN be a life changing experience, culturally, but Nepal much less so.
Just love your vlogs❤️💝 based on positivity, pureness and a lot of entertainment, your content is just amazing❤️ would love to host you in pakistan in our house, lots of love from Pakistan❤️
17:36 beautifully said. the porters are the real heroes of the mountain.
Takes me back to 2012 when I did it - trip of a life time and I’d go back in a heartbeat-- reliving every second watching your video 🎉
please tell me about ittttt
The soft music blends so well with your personality and the landscape. Can't wait for act three.
Thank You for getting this out sooner than later! I am really enjoying your trek!! And don't feel bad if you have to spend an extra day or two at a tea house you are on your trek not on someone else's timeline relax and enjoy and don't forget to stock up on the snickers bars!! 🥰

You are so underrated....
Wonderful camera work and cinematography.......
.from Kathmandu..
what a beautiful narration, edit, shots and Thank you for taking along.
Thanks for taking us along the hike and highlighting efforts of porters.🙌

how much it cost? just an estimate. i might do it next year
@@realisticflow9 I am Nepali and just spent about $370 on that trek.
@@realisticflow9 In 2019 around 20 euro/j for basic accomodation, without alcool!

Great trip ❤
Respect for doing it all on your own! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is a gem, incredible work!
Very good video, very detailed explanation
Oh man, I did it last year without a porter too. So challenging but so rewarding.
Our country Nepal is no less than heaven😱👌love from Nepal 🇳🇵❤️
It truly is 😌 so much beauty to be found, both in its nature and in its people! Lots of love back! 💛
Love watching your vlog! I am in awe of your courage and strength and I am happy Oskar is with you for the journey!❤

the realization you had while doing the trail is on another level. u inspired us. cant wait for part 3
Brilliant cinematography, this looks brilliant my friend!
I'm waiting for part 3. thank you so much for your beautiful vlog, its like memory lane for me, me & my hubby just finished ebc trek last month.
Great trek so far. There's always ups and downs but you two are handling it well. We're hoping to do EBC this year, so thanks for sharing! Safe travels!
Thank you, I hope you make it there! So worth it 😌 safe travels to you too!
You're doing amazingly well :-)
Thank you for sharing your journey with us x
Beautiful vlog Flora.
Fantastic work again. Really enjoyed it from Pakistan 👍
I wish & hope you will one day do the K2-BC trek in Pakistan. It is 5x harder than this but the views & beauty is mindblowing. Accept the challenge for the future ✅️

I think i made my own best discover this year by finding your youtube channel.
I think if u wanna do more hike/backpacking in the future, u must learn and try the Ultralight concept.
❤ from Indonesia.
I love u r editing .😍😍
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. 👍570
❤ you and your very-well made and edited vids!
J’oserais jamais le faire, ducoup j'adore vous regarder le faire 😊 merci
Pourtant rien de compliqué pour un humain "normal" , effectué en 2019 ainsi que bcp d'autres treks..
Il faut vous lancer ! Bon, il ne faut pas être cul de jatte bien sur, mais c'est un des plus beaux treks du monde qui ne necessite pas une technicité ni des capacités physiques surhumaines.

Was waiting for the new video.
As always, love from Pakistan.
Floraa in my country
God bless you
No pain no chowmein love that
In the last they are just trying to make warm each others I think😊
I Loved the Color Grading
👍👍
Your vlog is the only one that I don't want to skin a single part ❤❤❤❤❤
It's skip bro not skip
still not on the base camp 😢
love the video
How did you trek to basecamp without a porter? I thought it was law to go with a licensed guide and porter as of april 1 2023?
Because no one has thought of enforcing this totally stupid and very controversial law.

I love your content 💗
Let's goo!
Great video!
How much are you carrying, the both of you?
❤
Flora, why don't you try Makalu Base Camp next time? Way more raw.
Hi I would like to do this trek in October. I read online also on a Nepal government website that a guide is mandatory. It is not true?
They changed the rule just months ago 😅
They passed the law, but never enforced it to to very strong backlash from foreign tourists AND from the Nepali tourism professionnals, who realized it could harm the tourism industry instead of helping it.
Yes, october/november is the best period to trek it. Blue skies, and not cold weather !
The Sherpa people have special genetics to help them live effortlessly in the mountains.
Nice video. But diamox is no prevention. It should only be a last resort...
snickers 😂 its on top of my packing list
can you plz tell me which app are using to edit video
Hiking without a guide, is that allowed??
If you didn't go to Khumjung and directly go to Namche- Tengbuche it would take 4-5 hours. 😅
Trots op jullie 🤍
🥰🥰🥰
hey do you think july would be a good time to do the base camp trek?
Nope. There are only 2 seasons ! April-May, or October-November. But if you like the monssoon, the rain, and the clouds, yes... :)
Hello Oskar!
8:48 No pain, No chowmein! lol
blame the wheel xD

which app u used to get the map ?
Please tell me the name of LUT it's so brilliant
Please please please
Part 3??
I thought it is legally required to hire a guide for hiking everest base camp ? Am i wrong ?
Yes.
oskar is the guyy
Annapurna circuit or everest base camp which one is best
I'd say Annapurna - but only if you hike the entire trail from Besisahar to Nayapul! It's the variety of the landscape that makes this hike so special
Definitely Everest Base Camp. The Annapurna circuit has been somewhat ruined by the opening of roads on most of the tour (except between Manang and Muktinath). There are some variants or other trails off the road, but on the whole, it's not as fascinating as the EBC, especially with the panoramas).
Just love your vlogs❤️💝 based on positivity, pureness and a lot of entertainment, your content is just amazing❤️ would love to host you in pakistan in our house, lots of love from Pakistan❤️
You probably drank too much chai and water at Namche Bazaar that makes you wanna always pee 😅. The altitude sickness pills will only make you feel drowsy as part of its side effect.
I like you guys
Taking Diamox without having altitude side effects isn't really a smart idea because of its side effects
The Nepalese people make a living by being porters and guys for western trekers You should respect that and hire a porter and a guide.
Agree. And it’s also unlawful to do it without a guide. I understand the courage it took to do this trip but it’s not ethical or responsible to share this trip without local Nepali services.

Where is the porter
U : He is my Boyfriend
Oscar: I am ? 🤔
U : Are You ?🤨
🤣🤣Lol ❤
Dont think doing the EBCT without a guide is permitted: you would not get through either of the two check points without a qualified guide
This nonsense is finished now. And has been very shortlived.
We are waiting on you to Afghanistan 🇦🇫
🫶🏻🫶🏻
How many kilos your pack?
Obviously too many... :)
Do you really need to take those meds?
No and diamox is only needed if you experience bad symptoms. For the vast majority of people the EBC trek is doable. Just prepare before and be fit, don’t push over your limit, go slow, acclimatize, stop and descend if you feel really bad, eat well and drink a lot of water, eat garlic a lot.
I’ve done this trek twice and I can’t see any reason to take meds before the trek.
@@normantoth350 Same here. But I was well acclimatized doing the Annapurna circuit just before...
10:54 drink a lot of chai.
Warning! chai will convert you :D
It has converted a lot of foreigners into Indians lol
19:28 not to complain about my load. that was nice :)
Hello from nepal🥹❤️
Poor donkeys😢
🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow yours. Maby you have some tips? 😢
Please give number please
"No guide, so we have to plan and organize everything ourselves"... Just along 1000 other trekkers on the same path... :)
"which they kind of recommand you when you are above 3000 meters"... Who's THEY ??? Don't believe all the shit you hear or read on the internet.
How come has it become so boring after your greater Pakistani's vibes ?
Because Pakistan and Nepal just don't have the same vibes. Not been to Pak yet, but for knowing Nepal, I can really tell the difference... I think Pakistan CAN be a life changing experience, culturally, but Nepal much less so.
