Hiking to Everest Base Camp (this was hard) | part one
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- I’m setting out on a big adventure: I’m trekking to Everest Base Camp, but with a twist. I’m doing it without the help of a guide, porter, or even taking a flight! Instead, it's just me and my boyfriend, a map, and a way-too-heavy backpack, that - spoiler alert - is going to cause me to struggle a lot.
In this first act (out of three), instead of flying to Lukla, we first take a bus from Kathmandu to Salleri/Phaplu. Once on the trail, we are forced to navigate muddy roads, battle relentless rain, and face challenges that push me to my limits.
But it's not all rain and mud! Despite the challenges, we get some beautiful, raw views of the Himalayas, and have a lot of fun along the way, too. It's a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with each step bringing me closer to the iconic Everest Base Camp.
Trust, me, this is a series you won't want to miss!

This is a first video in years, that I haven't skipped a second!!
Glad you enjoyed 💛✨🙌
@@floragonning welcome to nepal. i want to suggest you best places to visit in nepal. do you have email ?
Did this back in '83. Brings back lots of memories. Incredibly difficult. I had porters to carry the heavy stuff, as I had limited time. In terms of what makes this so hard, not the ups, actually, but the unrelenting downs!!! By the time you reach Namche, you will have done about 3 times the elevation of Everest. The other big advantage of doing it this way, is you will never have to worry about acclimatizing. And, after Namche, compared to what you have done, it's pretty much *flat*!!! Good luck.
I will give this channel one year till 100.000 subscribers, mark my words
She's living every young person's dream lol (at least outwardly) Yeah this channel is gonna blow up in popularity.
Take all the time
i can bet it'l take less than 1 year
Beautiful. This channel makes me feel like someone who has stumbled upon an incredible secret place and am torn between telling everyone i know, or keeping it to myself.
🥹🥹💛
These small food joints all over the route are just life Saviour!
the story telling is so beautiful and the cinematography is so sophisticated, this is the greatest everest base camp film i have ever seen. Not only is this top quality (filming + post production), it is f**kn hard to carry film gear and find the time and logistics to efficiently shoot this trip. so well done.
🥹 thank you for noticing and taking the time to write such a lovely comment 🫶🙏
We are cheering you on back home in Sweden! Amazing videos.
omg this is such a wonderful yet difficult adventure. I love this so much please release part 2.
beautiful ... looking forward to the part 2 :)
10 seconds into the video and straight away I subscribed!
Thank you, that means a lot 🥹🙏
@@floragonning You're so good at this! Dont ever stop making these videos! To the moon 🚀
Excited to see the rest of the series.
Beautiful video! Good luck!👏🏼 Waiting to see the next part 😊
Amazingly beautifull,cinematic and very well narrated✌️,waiting for next ep,,plus subscribed👍
Amazing. I hope someday I can go to Everest as well!
Cheers from Brazil.
I hope you’ll get the chance!! 🙌👏
What a great video. Engaging storytelling, eye-catching framing.
This was amazing to watch. I like how you merge cinematic shots with a raw vlog style in between. And I didn't know we could still do the EBC without a guide as I heard it was made compulsory from last year onwards. This is good to know.
Thank you 🙏🙏 and yes, the new rules aren’t implemented in the Everest area - one of the only regions in Nepal you can still legally hike without a guide!
Thank you so much for posting this video
Thanks for taking me along in this trip
I truly felt that I was trekking with you
What a special adventure! Can't wait to see more. So proud of the two of you. You are living your dream, girl and you're making you're mom proud and happy! Love you ❤
That was amazing! Waiting for the next parts :)
I enjoyed so much the colors in this video! Waiting for the rest! Good content, new follower here!
Loved this. Look forward to the next one :)
Yes it's not a small thing,it is world highest point in the world, it's tough to get there not everyone Can do , you guys are mentality and physically strong, you guys are completely archived your dreams that great thing, lot's of love from Nepal 💙🫶
Whenever I travel, I always carry a set of ear plugs in my pocket. Learned from a similar experience, but at a hostel in northern Vietnam rather than a Nepali bus.
Nice video! I did the trek in 2018, but started in Lukla. It was great to see some of what I missed. I also had a similar experience with Snickers bars, initial resistance followed by overwhelming acceptance.
As for the why of all of it, I can only speak to my own motivations. For me the beautiful views, the interesting people, the new foods, the photos, the videos, the moments of awe, and most importantly, to me at least, the sense of accomplishment that comes from struggling through hardship for a worthwhile goal. Achievement feels cheap if you don't have to work for it.
top quality content
I want you to grow immensely, but a part of me wants to keep you as my little secret. This is some high level filmmaking. :)
Hehehe 💛💛 thank you!

Thank you!! 😊

Love the video tone 😊
Very inspiring & informative too. Loved the simplicity of the presentation. Looking forward for act 3. Could you pls share the name of the map navigation app what you were using in your phone.
This feels like watching a movie ❤ doing this in october hopefully - but with guide and all, I'm not too brave 😊 Looking forward to your upcoming videos! 😊

Good luck, i always dreamed about "The mount everest but never get time"
My Dream Treak🇳🇵❤️
What the LUT you are using here for color grading? So nice looking
This is bloody brilliant.
Hopefully you will do the K2 basecamp trek in Pakistan one day which is 10x harder than this one 🔥
It's on the wishlist!! 🙏
Why buddy why always compare with IND just focus on your country to make good the more you try to compare with IND I make sure you will get more failure... So bhai agle 50 saal to Mai av jinda hu tu dekh le kab pak IND ku surpass krta h😂
You guys deserve 100k Subs ❤
welcome to Nepal❤
Land of peace✌️
Really like your videos! Found your chanel about a month ago when I by some reason decided to search for Pakistan. And now I wait expectantly for your next videos!
Ahh thank you, glad you like it! 🙏
what a beautiful video😊
Thank you 😊
Amazing adventure! Especially since you're unable to hike without a guide in Nepal now 😢
Like this
When she say blasting music I couldn't control my laugh😂 i feel that blasting music 😅
😂
Stunning Camera work in all your videos.
Thanks! I try :)
Misty forest, lot of fog in the hills and mountains of Nepal means spirits rome there that lady and the kid might be spirits, can be bad sometimes. Its actually scary in the misty mountains.
Very good quality content at such an early stage, you are making films.
Thank you so much!!
what card game were you playing on the end of day 3? looks quite interesting!
Great video! Inspires me to get on this adventure!
I was wondering, which mapping app are you using? I'll be heading out on a trek myself in a few weeks, and I'm searching for a good app to navigate trails.
Glad to hear that! We use Maps.me, you can download maps offline so you don't need any internet connection :) most of the time they're actually pretty accurate! (unlike in the video😅)
love your content 😁😁
❤thank you for coming nepal,❤
I like your style, edit, vibe, smile etc… nice. love you as person, hope you will not change with more subs like other youtubers 🙂 little bit in your steps - in few weeks trekking around pakistan, then mt kilimanjaro and maybe next year EBC
Amazing!! Which hikes are you planning to do in Pakistan?
@@floragonning Probably the most traditional - Gilgit, Fairy Meadows, Nanga Parbat BC, Hapakun campsite, Rakaposhi BC, Hunza valley, Attabad Lake, Passu Glacier & Bridge etc etc… over 2wks wander around :-) and of course Lahore for 4-5 days (because of you 👍and your amazing video from Lahore)
Waiting for the next chapter
That women and kid disappeared right after they showed you the route?? Angels guiding you guys :D
Well, what a video! Incredible! While I'm preparing and planning for EBC next year, this video gives me peace:) Love from Jammu&Kashmir, India.
P.S. Try KGL "KASHMIR GREAT LAKES" anytime soon.
Hope you have the best time next year, it’s gonna be amazing! 🙏 Lots of love back 🫶✨
Wow beautiful ❤❤❤ Nepal
Oh my, took me back!
Did a similar trail as my flight was cancelled!
My favourite trip I've had!
Hope it'd be the same for you! :)
Love from NEPAL 🇳🇵! 💌
Which map guiding application you have used
Amazing! I loved it
No Guide, No Flight, No Porter, Wow!
But what about permission? Nowadays, the Nepal Government has made it compulsory for a foreigner to hire a guide & permission through a registered trekking agency. then how did you manage it ?
Our country Nepal is really no less than heaven💪🇳🇵❤️
Any plans for coming to Lucknow, UP? :)
the first challenge of blasting music would already piss me off
love from 🇳🇵❤️
😍😍😍😍
I like te color grading, never seen such for a travel video
This is what experiencing it like a local means.
❤
Yay, a fellow lefty!
Haha you have a keen eye! 😉
