- In May 2024, I went on an adventure of a lifetime. I was able to cross Mount Everest Base Camp off my bucket list!
In part 1, we started in the capital of Kathmandu, Nepal, and made our way to the airport.
Our flight was at 7:30am. Delays are common, so don’t expect your plane to take off on time!
The weather was rainy and cloudy in Lukla, so no planes were allowed to fly to Lukla for the rest of the day.
Thankfully, our guide Dilman, was able to reserve a helicopter for us for $7 extra !!!! (This is not normal; he went up and beyond for us).
We arrived at Lukla 9 hours late, but just in time to actually hike up to Phakding.
First, we grabbed food because we were starving. I felt nauseous, and it was as if 100 pounds was bearing down on my shoulders. After I ate, I felt completely fine!
** Make sure you purchase Diamox ahead of time at a pharmacy in Kathmandu; it’s altitude sickness pills. **
After eating, we finally started our ascent to Phakding.
It’s a great indication of how the hiking will be; straight incline! My body was not ready for it, and I was totally beat. After 3 hours of hiking in the rain and darkness, we finally arrived at our first stop.
I slept like a baby for 10 hours. At 7:00am, we woke up to get ready for breakfast at 7:30. You choose what you want from the menu; I just got toast and eggs.
** DAY 2 IS THE HARDEST DAY!!!!! **
I was not prepared for this level of incline. You’re literally walking up rocky hills and stairs for 6-7 hours. The weight of your backpack will hold you down so much, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
My advice to you is take your time. We were on a tight schedule, so we were forced to rush. Definitely don’t give yourself a short window to complete this, you’ll end up hurting yourself.
You can pay about $25/day for a porter to carry your bags. It gives them a job, and it saves your back from snapping in half lol.
We made it to Namche in 5 1/2 hours. Exhausted beyond words, I paid $3 to take a hot shower at the tea house. The higher you get up in the mountain, the prices increase.
You’ll most likely spend an extra day in Namche to relax and acclimate to the elevation. This is the best town on the trek, because they’ll have several restaurants and bars. You can purchase any last minute gear or essentials here as well.
Shoutout Jordan from @CountingCountries I was ecstatic to randomly bump into Tilak 🔥

Wow what a start to your trip with the plane delays and the helicopter ride!! The scenery was amazing.
Haha I had to overcome my fear. It was a lot at once 😂
KOBEEEEE
I love this video! How long does it take to cross the Hilary bridge? It looks scary
Like 3 minutes! I was so scared 🫠
Is it mandatory now to hire a sherpa or we can do it by ourself?
You can do it yourself! The path is laid out pretty clearly, so there’s a good chance you won’t get lost.
@@FlyWithVeiga I just wish there was a proper road to lupla. The risk of taking flight is more than safely returning from base camp 😜😜
You can go Jiri by bus or van then you can trek to lukla no need to go by plane@@FlyWithVeiga
Lol it was the scariest day of my life being on the helicopter going there, and then flying back in the small plane.. both flights were so smooth though, I was lucky we didn’t have any turbulence
How long is the bus ride? And how long is the trek to Lukla?
Why don't you upload videos regularly on TH-cam ?
I’m not sure what you mean? I will post Part 2 soon 😊
@@FlyWithVeiga Sorry, I made a mistake in writing, I wanted to explain to you why you give videos irregularly. I want to know how you manage so much of your channel?
I am eagerly waiting for the second part of the video
@@smartoibthegrowthmaster love to hear that! I will be posting part 2 sooner than usual! I have a couple videos to post on this trip
Hello Sir, Are you interested to do SEO in your videos for more views and SUBS or boosting by google ads ?
No, thank you. If you can subscribe to my channel that’d be a huge help!
hahahahaaahaha 😂
typical bangladeshi comment 😂
