Hi, loved your video on EBC, I’m going this September (2024) with my son (I’m 60) would love to know how you used the Wim Hof breathing method to help with Altitude Sickness? Cheers Eric (Perth)
Glad you liked our video. I had a look at this video th-cam.com/video/LMYgjK74sUo/w-d-xo.html to give me some idea of what to do if I start to feel the altitude and also have a Blood oxygen meter to check levels. www.amazon.com.au/Fingertip-Oximeter-Saturation-Batteries-Australian/dp/B09VBLV4TG Hope this helps.

Hey, that's an amazing video! Thanks a lot. Wanted to know if you found any particular hardships or risks in your experience apart from the once you mentioned in the video? Do you think it is apt to go there in September for someone as old as 60 yrs of age?
Hi, Thanks for your kind words on the video. September should be fine although I would advise going later In the month if you can to ensure good weather. The main hardships we faced were; 1. the Altitude - the best way to fight this is through intentional breathing and keeping a slow a steady pace. Also making sure to take acclimation days and not push yourself- listen to what your body is asking from you. If you stay ahead of loosing your breath you should be fine. 2. Toilet Paper- no where provides toilet paper so make sure you have a roll or two in your pack 3. Bad Weather/ Low Visibility- we went in off season so this was the price we paid but if you can go closer to the end of September/beginning October that's more ideal and you will see more on the day to basecamp. However the crowds can be quite intense in peak season. 4. Flying to Lukla- the weather also impacted our flights and ended in us having to pay $1000 extra for a helicopter and rushing the hike. Leave at least an extra 4 days as a buffer when booking your return international flight as safety for unforeseen weather. Especially if you are going in off season.
We trekked to Everest base camp from August 28 - Sept 16 2022. I reckon late Sept would be better incase you get a late monsoon and get stuck at the airport not flying for days.
@@studio80sydney97 If it isn't absolutely dangerous, as in risk of landslides etc, I'd prefer taking your timeline of late August due to other commitments in September October. I do not plan to catch a flight to Lukla. I plan to trek from Jiri.
@@kbumb it’s ok not dangerous the track is well used but do your Wim Hof breathing and breath retention exercise so you don’t get sick. Take an oxygen blood meter so you know if you’re getting in trouble. Cheap on Amazon.
@@studio80sydney97 One more thing. When you went in late August, did you find many people on the trail? I usually don't hire guides and just follow other trekkers. Hiring guides feels binding.
Thank you for the video! Well documented and narrated :) I'm planning to go this September, so I was curious to see what the weather is going to be like. We have some choices - so we will try delay it until the end of Sept. if possible! Glad you guys got clear skys on that final day :D

Beautifully captured! Hope to see you again in your next destinations.
Nice video! Maybe we crossed paths! We were there in September of 2022 also. Reached basecamp on the 20th of Sept. Incredible experience!
The best Base Camp video I’ve seen. Loved the narration. My son and I are doing this next September - beyond excited.

What exact date did you start the trek? Did monsoon pay any problems?
