      You'll love the walk from Jiri! Those first few days before reaching the main tourist trail are beautiful and peaceful. Some really nice small villages and lodges there. Make sure you add Pikey peak to your route, it's a little extra but you get AMAZING views of the big peaks at sunrise, totally worth it

    You are absolutely right when you say that just to be able to see Everest once justifies a trip to Nepal and the effort of a trek.
    It was the same for me when I climbed Mera Peak. It was my whole life dream to see Everest and I was able to experience that on the Mera Peak trek.

  • @dcaudwell

    I strongly recommend you go back to the Everest region and hike the Three Passes trek - this partly overlaps with the EBC trek but is less crowded (you get to do a side trip to EBC if you want) but otherwise you spend time on quieter trails and more of the trail gets you amongst real, working communities instead of trekking-oriented villages like some of those on the EBC trek. The Three Passes trek also gives you many epic views of Everest (some actually with Everest being the tallest peak on the horizon as compared to most of the views on the EBC trek where Everest looks "smaller" than surrounding peaks because it's set further back). You can totally do the Three Passes without any guides but it is a more demanding trek and you do still need to obtain all the relevant permits.

Definitely not recommended as a first trek in Nepal (although people do do it as a first trek!). It's also best to plan plenty of wiggle-room time-wise to allow for weather delays, especially at the passes themselves.

    Thank you for your video Kraig! They are awesome and inspiring! This is Nigel from Hong Kong, Had supported with Super Thanks, please do more great videos! As a documentary maker, backpacker and hiker myself, always finding a way to shoot nature, hiking in a good way. However, it's so hard! I think you understand what I mean, it will take 150%-200% more time to shoot a route, camera set up, drone flying takes a loooooong time! and it's not the only thing, it also need experience of preparing the lightest pack and gears, tent, cloth, food, battery and charging, organizing, discipline and physical condition etc... And I was stuck on shoot hiking because there are lots of shooting form in my mind that makes great content, and it can take so much time and effort. And when I saw the way you shoot, It solve all problems, I can see how you minimize the shooting time with the best result, and it tells the story! Your videos totally inspire me to resume my undone hiking project, and it will be shot next week. Thanks again for the videos, saw some of your route that i hike before reminds me the good times also. Next time if you come to Hong Kong, Iet me show you some of the hidden, special and beautiful Hiking route. Peace!

    I went in 2017 - i'm 49 years old and when I was a kid EVEREST was a place that EXPLORERS went to and always held a certain mystique. To be there was just the most amazing experience The trek is tough in places. the altitude certainly affects to like nothing else. The food can get monotonous. it lacks texture more than anything. I said I would never go back but 18 months later I summited Mera Peak at 6461m (21,198ft). I plan to go higher to 7000m in 2022 and in 2023i aim for an 8000m peak (Mansalu). I highly recommend EBC too. it just gives you a feeling that is really hard to describe. (prayer wheels is the word you were looking for)

      I went to Argentina in January this year - summit of Aconcagua was the aim - unfortunately I only got to Camp 2 at about 5500m - the wind and uncertainty of when it would abate meant I came down without summiting ( i'd acclimatised so well - no sickness no headaches ) its a tough place to go !

    I did the Everest trek from Lamosangu in 1974, just after it opened. You can still do a long trek from Jiri which is about 4 days in from Lamosangu. For directions, we had an old dyeline map which was very basic but you got by asking people the way. We got robbed at Lamjura Pass and later attacked by dogs plus we got lost a few times, once for 2 days in a canyon during which we ran out of food but nothing serious. Pheriche consisted of one mud brick hut, half buried in the permafrost and Gorak Shep did not exist. Unfortunately, I'm getting too old for trekking but it remains a lifetime highlight.

    Looks like an amazing trip, I'd kill for just 1/10 the viewers you get in 48 hours of upload. You're crushin' it Kraig.

    39:15 I will defend Big Bend until I die - I've hiked all over the world but the Chisos and Guadalupe Mountains are still some of my most favorite places on Earth. The desert has my heart

    The drone shots look just like the cinematic screen saver videos for Apple TV. Amazing! Highly recommended to watch on a big screen TV.

    Not your usual stuff obviously and saw you tried to get away from the group to give the solo vibe which is a plus, you gave me a good laugh when you complained about being too old for the travelling. Try 3 connections and 40 hours plus in planes n buses (door to door) at 50 years of age for my last big trip. I do it again tomorrow as this pandemic just refocused how great it is to travel even with the headaches that go with silly layovers. Keep up the great work 💪💪

    Ideas for videos:
    - Hike tutorial
    - live editing a video (sound extraction, story telling, sound design, story board or not.. )
    - Updated hiking gear 2022
    - Drone operations (best practices, experience with people reacting negatively, problems with drone restrictions)
    - Washing clothes on a longer drip (special soap, products, anti odor)
    - Wild animal encounters and/or prep to stay safe
    ...

    Hello Kraig. Huge fan from Nepal and really enjoyed the everest and mardi video as well. You should really do the manaslu circuit if you plan to visit nepal again. The diversity of landscape and the views of mountains that manaslu offers is unmatched. Well whichever trek you plan to do can’t wait to see you here again.

    The national bird of Nepal is indeed a species of pheasant: the Himalayan Monal.
