  • @glennjothy7532
    @glennjothy7532 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi Richard, great video, thanks. May I ask some questions please:
    1. Gloves: do the outer ones need to be waterproof? (can't seem to find waterproof ones in decathlon, only windproof ones).
    2. Waterproof jacket: would a waterproof jacket (2-layered, rated '5000mm Schmerber') also be considered windproof by default ? --and if so, then I need not worry about getting a separate 'windproof' jacket to deal with purely windy days.
    3. Did you actually manage to do any laundry? Would the number of items of clothing (underwear, socks, base layer tops/tees) be different if you didn't do any laundry throughout the 13-day trek?
    4. Did you find carrying a solar panel effective? (I'm going in April, so not sure if it may be more cloudy and therefore less effective?).
    5. Would you recommend packing body/hand warmers?
    I hope you will be able to answer at least some if not all my questions above. Many thanks! cheers! Glenn

    • @AsiaHikelopedia
      @AsiaHikelopedia  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1. Not really. I think windproof should be fine.
      2. A waterproof jacket will be ok.
      3. There are laundry services at Namche. It dries pretty quickly in the sun there. But take quick drying stuff just in case. Not really as you don't sweat too much anyway.
      4. It worked well for me. But depends on the weather I guess.
      5. Personal choice, but if you have thick gloves I don't think you need them.

    • @AsiaHikelopedia
      @AsiaHikelopedia  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure which is the best time, but most Everest (summit) expeditions aim for end of May when change to monsoon gives a gap in weather. But Base camp is obviously not as tough. As for boots, I have no idea. Maybe to do with snow? Better to ask someone who recommends that.

  • @AaronMetallion
    @AaronMetallion 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I asked chatGPT what the temps are like, and here's the info: General Temperature Ranges:
    - Autumn (September to November):
    Daytime Temperatures: 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F) at lower altitudes.
    Nighttime Temperatures: -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F) at higher altitudes near Base Camp.
    - Winter (December to February):
    Daytime Temperatures: 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F) at lower altitudes.
    Nighttime Temperatures: -15°C to -20°C (5°F to -4°F) at higher altitudes near Base Camp.
    - Spring (March to May):
    Daytime Temperatures: 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F) at lower altitudes.
    Nighttime Temperatures: -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F) at higher altitudes near Base Camp.
    - Monsoon (June to August):
    Daytime Temperatures: 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F) at lower altitudes, but it’s usually not recommended to trek during this period due to heavy rainfall and slippery trails.
    I also asked what the best seasons to Trek EBC are, and in summary:
    1) Spring & Autumn is the answer, because of better visibility, & clearer skies offering better views of the mountain ranges.
    2) Moderate temperatures, (in my pov).
    3) Spring: "blooming rhododendrons and other flora, especially in April and May" & Autumn: "The landscape is lush and green after the monsoon rains".
    4) Vibrant, busy time of the year, tea houses are busy, but you'll have plenty of company along the way.
    p.s. I'm Indian, love the cold, and live in Canada but I vastly underestimated the prep involved for this trek. Most winters I'm in a t-shirt & unzipped jacket, and I only have a motorcycle so when the roads are dry & ash colored, I've gone motorcycling in as low as -29*C weather (10-15mins max for groceries). But I suppose there's a lot more planning and consideration I need to do for this, thank you for the video :).

    I'm not sure I understand what the duffel bag is for. I usually trek with a 45l backpack with very similar gear plus a tent, air mattress and at least 3 lbs of food and everything fits fine...

      If you hike with a porter, as many people do in Nepal, the porter will carry most of your gear in the duffel bag while you take your daily essentials in a day pack. While some hardcore hikers don't agree with this method it's very common in Nepal.

    Hi there, thanks so much for the informative video. I’m doing EBC next March and hiring porter on site. Would the luggage need to be a duffle bag or can it be a big backpack? I was thinking to bring a big backpack and small day pack. Please let me know!

    Hi, I’m planning an EBC adventure next year and need some advice. Would you know if cashless payment is accepted in Nepal - in areas like Kathmandu or lukla?

    • @chriskelly9476
      @chriskelly9476 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, I recently returned from Nepal and most people just carry cash. There are some shops and restaurants etc that accept card payments but it is hit and miss. I wouldn't rely on it. I used cash the entire time as did all the people in my group. There are ATM's in touristy areas of Kathmandu and everywhere in Pokhara. I never went to Lukla so cannot say but I would assume it is mainly cash. I made sure I always carried 5000 rupees (around 50 Australian dollars) as a minimum. Certainly outside of Kathmandu, Pokhara and other large tourist areas it will be cash only. (Remember to change your rupees back to your own currency at the airport BEFORE you leave Nepal, as it is a closed currency and will not be accepted at currency exchanges in your home country. I have about 10,000 rupees in my wallet because I forgot, lol. But not to worry, I'm going back this year. I'll spend it then). Enjoy your trip!

    • @AsiaHikelopedia
      @AsiaHikelopedia  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I went at the same time and had only a thin down jacket (from Uniqlo) which was just about enough when worn with several other layers. But I would recommend something a bit heavier, especially after the sun goes down as it can get rather cold.

    The Decathlon duffel bag is not made to be carried on the back for extensive periods of time, usually after one or 2 hours it's getting very uncomfortable and it can even hurt. So planning to have it carried by someone else is... well you get the point. Would have been more honest to carry your 120L+ rucksac alone mate.

      Quite clear you have no trekked in Nepal (yet). Porters carry usually for two clients two duffels strapped horizontally together and carried with a tumpline across their forehead. So the "carrying system" design on the duffel does not matter at all. They would use a tumpline for a single duffel also.
