This was such an epic experience for us! Rob wrote a post which breaks the trek down in loads of detail for you guys here: bit.ly/EBC-Itinerary We hope you enjoy coming along with us 😀 Have any of you been on any treks recently?
@@vasilesanek6768 unfortunately not vyou are expected to eat in your teahouse as well. Meals aren't that expensive considering you are in the mountains. An average dish is probably about 500 NPR which is about £3 GBP. The costs are at the bottom of my guide on the blog. 😀😀
Hey! We went end of May/early June so it was right at the end of the season. It felt like a good time to go - not too cold and we were lucky to avoid rain :)
@10:17, I love the look with the hat and jacket. Especially Jenny’s. Looks great!! 👍🏼 @17:50 you’re wearing it again but also Jenny looks so happy and cute!!
No treks due to Covid Jenny.Soon as open return Nepal dolpo region then Three Passes. I trek independent. Ike you.Give you guys credit doing everything your self plus you utilized map.Next time to Everest area walk in from Jiri or Bhandar, walk out Phaplu.By time you reach Cheplong you will be in shape and somewhat acclimatized as already completed Lamjurra Pass higher than Namche. After Namche go different direction to EBC via Thame,Lumden,Goyko,Labouche,Khomla Pass to Chungkon then down to Namche. Now you done three passes without back tracking. No crowds this way.Many times this direction. Enjoy.
Great video guys! I'm thinking of hiking up the EBC and choosing best route. Going alone I am still considering a guide or porter but is good to know that it's a lot more manageable than I thought before. xx
This is a pretty good video of the EBC trek and kudos for doing it yourself without a guide or tour company. The one advantage of going with a trek company and buying helicopter insurance is if you had suffered AMS along the way. The only way to rescue in that area is by helicopter but thankfully you guys did ok on the AMS. Also the trek tours include porterage and I believe it helps the locals earn income as Nepal is not doing well economically these days. Great video and vlog.
Yeah. We weren't sure about the helicopter at first. But we found that we could easily get one sent by a lodge and pay by credit card. Good to know as there is little information on this on the web. Yes it is good to support the economy for sure. 👍
Your spirits of freedom, courage and intelligence are admiring! Two questions: 1. How well-marked the trail is? What’s the chance to get lost without a guide? 2. Do you recommend book the accommodations after Namche? Or it’s possible to book spontaneously depends on my body? Really like to go as my body allows, and stop and return when tired. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thanks for the lovely comment. The trail is not marked per se. But it is obvious the whole way and there are always lots of other people moving along the same route. Make sure to download maps on osmand or maps.me as a backup. Booking accommodation isn't necessary at all. You can always find somewhere to stay. 😀 If you want anymore info feel free to email us or message on Instagram! 😀 Would love to help.
Rob & Jenny Thanks for the tips! 1. My maps.me doesn’t even show where Lukla and EBC are, though I’m a premier member. Did you successfully get your off-line EBC trail maps from maps.me? 2. I have plantar fasciitis for decades, but it doesn’t stop me from trying EBC. Is any tea house accommodation between Monjo and Namche? 8.5 hours walk a day is too much for my heels. 3. I read your itinerary and accommodation lists. Full of valuable information! Thanks!
Did you double check that you downloaded the nepal maps in the ampp? I can see Tenzing Hillary Airport, Everest Base Camp and Lukla very easily. Between Monjo and Namche there are a few places. This is by far the hardest day on the trek, but taken slowly you will get there!
Thanks lot for this video with loads of information and fun to watch this... And first of all I wanna tell that you guys are fantastic!!!! Hopefully I will do solo trek this April or May 2021.....
Really impressive guys, well done. How do you know where you're going? I know you have a map, but at like @13:28, I don't see a path, it's just a big open expanse. How do you not get lost?
Honestly it's more obvious than it sometimes looks. We downloaded the area on OSM maps and that has the route on it. There are also several others on the trail that you can follow :)
Great video! You have inspired us to tackle this hike without guide or porter also. I’m fairly confident that barring any altitude issues, we’ll be able to manage the hiking portion, but am a bit worried about how/when to book the flight to Lukla. Did you arrange this well in advance? I am super nervous about making the trip to Kathmandu and not having this flight locked in ( and not being able to get a flight). How did you do this? Thanks in advance for your input 😀
The good news is that we didn't book in advance. We booked it 3 days before flying. But we did have to push our trip back by one day to get the flight. And this was at a time when Kathmandu domestic airport was under renovation so we had to drive 3 hours into the mountains to a random airstrip. It was both awe inspiring and vomit inducing. I think that there are a few different companies that can help you book the flight. It's very expensive so if you can line up your dates and book in advance that will help you. Good luck.and safe hiking! ☺️☺️
Great video. You two have a great attitude. I have a map but the map you used seemed to be better. Would you know who makes the map and the title. I wanted to do the Three Passes trek and trying to get all the maps I can. Thank you
Thank you! Highly reccomend downloading osm+ for offline maps on your phone. The paper one was also essential but honestly we can't remember who made it! Sorry :( there are a lot of shops selling maps in thamel though so you'll have plenty of choice 😁
Thanks. How exciting! You'll have the best time!! It is honestly so easy, it would be impossible to get lost! Make sure you have a map and should you be ensure you can always wait 10-15 minutes and someone else be will along :) good luck and let us know how you get on!
You can also find out some info about our trip on the two blog posts Rob wrote. 😃 robandjenny.co.uk/index.php/2019/06/28/itinerary-and-accommodation-list-ebc-independent-trek-2019/
hello guys 🙏✨ soo beautiful! thank you for the video! I just want to ask you about the final price for one person in Dollars, if you count it from the Lukla flight? I just want to see how much money can it saveyou to go without a guide :) thank you very, very much 😄 Jindrich
Hi, I loved watching your video - thanks for posting it. I’m planning on a solo trek to EBC in November and my only concern being a solo traveller is staying on the beaten track. If there were no other trekkers around is the route easy to follow? Especially higher up?
It is always very easy to see the track and it is often signposted. We went at the end of may and there was barely a moment when there wasn't at least one person in sight.
Nepal was incredible. Such great people, prices and scenery. Because the trek took so long to prepare for and do, we didn't get much chance to see all of Nepal. But what we saw was really nice. More videos to come. 😀
The journey has been so great Nepal is a very easy country to be in. Everything you need is convenient and the people are just great! Would definitely recommend! 👍
It's called a buff and it protects us from the sun, keeps you warm when you get higher and most importantly keeps the dust out of our lungs! We went at the end of May and it was great weather!
We did it in May the last two weeks and we flew back from Lukla to Kathmandu on 1st June. You should definitely do it! It is the best thing we did in our whole time travelling!
Rob & Jenny enjoy....my wife and I went killer whale watching in British Columbia (VA) 2 years ago...then travelled to Seattle to visit the Boeing factory...incredible ✅
Why did you go both up and down the same route via Tengboche, when there is a much better scenic high trail via Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche, offering vastly better scenery on the way up? The trail has been there for hundreds of years and only now some intrepid trekkers and forward thinking agencies are finding it.
Maybe soon you can do it. We actually have a blog post talking about all the things we took. With a handy pdf download. robandjenny.co.uk/index.php/2019/07/04/everest-base-camp-trek-packing-list-and-shopping-guide-ebc-independent-trek-2019/
Hey, Loved your Vlog. Just wanted to ask you, how did you book hotels up in that mountain? What if I go in that mountains and hotels are filled with people already ?
We didn't book ANY. Just rocked up, asked to see the room and went with often the first one we saw tbh. Bear in mind we went end of May which is considered shoulder season so quieter anyway. There are so many places I would be surprised if you couldn't find anywhere to stay!
Our body... Unfortunately we didn't really. It was quite hard. But possible if you have any level of fitness. Backpacks; we produced a full blog post about what we took with us.

Really loved the video but I learnt a lesson from my past trekking in Nepal we almost lost on final route to MBC because of suddenly heavy snow fall. We could not see the trek but thank god for Sherpa guide he lead to MBC .
Hey Rob & Jenny congratulations for this amazing trekking. I would like to do this solo trekking. Will it be safe for solo if i wont take a guide. Or what difficulties i might face? Thanks
A lot of people do it solo. The most important thing is to give yourself enough time. Extra days for the trek. This is because it is hard to know how your body is dealing with the altitude and you should take time to acclimatise as much as possible.
Very amazing video! Sorry but the website of your EBC packing list is currently unavailable.. My wife and me are planning to do this trekking on our own too and we want to prepare very good for it! Thanks
Hi! Sorry for that. This link should work: robandjenny.co.uk/index.php/2019/07/04/everest-base-camp-trek-packing-list-and-shopping-guide-ebc-independent-trek-2019/ Will try to fix the other link as well! 😀
The flight to lukla was the most expensive thing. The prices may have changed but it was a few hundred pounds each for that. The accomodation and food was very cheap (and very basic) along the trail. All in all we probably only spent about 40 dollars a day between us for the trip.
Hey. No experience needed at all. Just enough time to take your time and not over work yourself against the altitude. Total cost for us was only about 500 pounds for the whole two weeks I think. Check out our website for more details. Robandjenny.co.uk

About guides and porters: there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding about the role of a guide when hired for an independent trek (not a fixed group). Guide is not there to boss you around (unless you let him), he is a fixer, interpreter, helper, consultant, cultural/nature/history teacher (in ideal case), contact to local culture, even a friend. I have walked Himalayan trails for almost a year in total since mid eighties, always with a guide & porters, and never has the guide told me where to go and when. I make all decisions. Naturally if someone wants to turn him/herself into a lamb that is also possible. Not me.
@@TClubbyCalicutColumbus1998 yes, but this can actually be confirmed on the way There are two checkpoints which you need to pay for a permit to continue along the route. More details are in the blog (see video description) if that helps 👍 Let us know if you decide to hike!
Hi, Hope you guys are well. This video was absolutely fantastic and you guys did really a good job. Will you suggest me.. can I go for EBC trek as a solo traveler ? without guide how much the cost will be for EBC trek? How can I get permission for EBC trek & from where? I must say, this video is so much inspiring for me. I wanna go there. Stay safe guys. Thank you so much...💖
So glad you enjoyed!! We actually wrote 2 blogs with loads of details which I think will answer your questions, link is in the video description. In short though, this is 100% possible for a solo traveller!
We think we saved a lot of money!💲 Probably cost about half as much as if we had gone with an organised trek. There are upsides to taking a guide+porter though if you can afford it! 👍
Great video. As an experienced hiker I STRONGLY suggest you DO NOT attempt without a guide and porter unless you are an experienced advanced treker. Odds are that you'll survive but it is a foolish risk. Many people get sick, regardless of fitness level. I did this trek plus Lobuche Peak in December 2019. Have fun, be safe, be smart. A Sherpa can save your life. A porter will make trek more pleasant and reduce chance of injury.
Thanks for your view. Having done it independently, I would say that a guide and porter is definitely not necessary, and as long as your are sensible and follow the well known advice you would be fine. The only people we saw have issues were those in groups with a guide because they were forced to keep up, even though their body wasn't ready. I think a guide and porter can definitely enhance your enjoyment, but it depends on who you are and where you get your sense of achievement from.
@@RobandJenny Thanks for your reply. I like to lean toward the more conservative side when attempting something new. With the knowledge I gained on EBC in 2019, I'm confident I could do it independently. The two of you are young and healthy and prepared properly by doing proper research before the trip. I just wanted to avoid encouraging a first timer that thinks it's a walk in the park without some serious potential risks. I actually went on a solo trek, just me, a Sherpa, and a porter. I wouldn't want to go in a group for the reason you mentioned. Pace is very important and being slowed down or forced to rush would be a drag. The two of you have a great synergy. Also a great talent for video, editing, and making it flow so the viewer can enjoy a pleasant journey with you unlike a boring technical documentary. Wishing you both all the best in your future adventures!
We aren't saying we're special. Lots of people do it! But we found videos so useful to inspire us when we were worried we couldn't do it so we made one ourselves to prove to others it's possible and straightforward.
This was such an epic experience for us! Rob wrote a post which breaks the trek down in loads of detail for you guys here: bit.ly/EBC-Itinerary
We hope you enjoy coming along with us 😀 Have any of you been on any treks recently?
Thanks for sharing this video, It's the food included in the accommodation price?
@@vasilesanek6768 unfortunately not vyou are expected to eat in your teahouse as well. Meals aren't that expensive considering you are in the mountains. An average dish is probably about 500 NPR which is about £3 GBP. The costs are at the bottom of my guide on the blog. 😀😀
Yep, if you ever have trials in your relationship, you can always remind yourselves that you survived this big trek together.
How much did it cost to do
@@bobhills7628 check out our blog post (link in video description) - we break all costs down there 😃
Well done! Congrats and thanks for taking us along!
Wow...so inspiring. I intend to do the EBC this year. After watching you guys I’ve got all the more courage to do unguided trek. Thanks 😊
That is SO lovely to hear, thank you! You will have the best time and unguided is really the best way (imo) 😁
Well done both of U 👍👍👍💪💪💪. Hopefully, next year on Oct could reach EBC 2
Really impressed by your journey so far, more power to you! You're both also so well mannered and old fashioned, something rare these days!
Haha. Thanks alot. The journey has been really good fun so far! Glad you enjoy the vlogs. 😀
Thanks for the great video and special thanks for the details, very helpful! I wish you many more trips (and more videos) to come guys! ;)
Very Nice video… honest and inspiring. Congrats to both of you! Can you share which time of year you went and what is the best month you recommend.
🎉
Hey! We went end of May/early June so it was right at the end of the season. It felt like a good time to go - not too cold and we were lucky to avoid rain :)
Awesome video! Congrats! What is the name of the mountain you trekked in Dingboche? What measures did you take against High Altitude Sickness?
Nangkartshang Peak
It's really naturally beautiful country in the world Nepal
@10:17, I love the look with the hat and jacket. Especially Jenny’s. Looks great!! 👍🏼 @17:50 you’re wearing it again but also Jenny looks so happy and cute!!
I was sad to part with the hats when we left Nepal! Did a great job of covering the greasy hair 😝
The best vdo about everest base camp. Most informative ....for a layman. The blog is going to be very helpful. Tx...from india
Thanks so much! That means a lot, we wanted it to be helpful!
Thank you Rob&Jenny to visit my beautiful country.
So magic!! So beautiful!!
No treks due to Covid Jenny.Soon as open return Nepal dolpo region then Three Passes. I trek independent. Ike you.Give you guys credit doing everything your self plus you utilized map.Next time to Everest area walk in from Jiri or Bhandar, walk out Phaplu.By time you reach Cheplong you will be in shape and somewhat acclimatized as already completed Lamjurra Pass higher than Namche.

This is your best video till date. The highest point of your trip ;)
Hehe thank you!
Thanks for all the tips! You guys are the most non-obnoxious travel vloggers..
Aww thanks so much! Glad we could be helpful! 🤗
Great vlog. My type of trip without guides or middle men.
That's a wonderful woman you have got by your side Rob. Keep her close always. Loved your blog. Cheers guys!!!
Thanks for the lovely message 😊 🥂
Great video guys! I'm thinking of hiking up the EBC and choosing best route. Going alone I am still considering a guide or porter but is good to know that it's a lot more manageable than I thought before. xx
Amazing! We met LOADS of solo trekkers on the way, so you wouldn't be alone 😁
Let us know if you do it, and whether you ended up going solo!
Also check out our guide. The link is in the description. 😀👍. Hope it helps.
Fantastic vlog of a fantastic place! Great editing...up there with Kara and Nate 👍
Wow what a compliment!
Congrats office kids! Very inspiring
This is a pretty good video of the EBC trek and kudos for doing it yourself without a guide or tour company.
The one advantage of going with a trek company and buying helicopter insurance is if you had suffered AMS along the way. The only way to rescue in that area is by helicopter but thankfully you guys did ok on the AMS.
Also the trek tours include porterage and I believe it helps the locals earn income as Nepal is not doing well economically these days.
Great video and vlog.
Yeah. We weren't sure about the helicopter at first. But we found that we could easily get one sent by a lodge and pay by credit card. Good to know as there is little information on this on the web.
Yes it is good to support the economy for sure. 👍
Great video! Can I ask what camera and lens you used for this? The quality is amazing. Thanks
Just a canon G7x mark II!
Your spirits of freedom, courage and intelligence are admiring! Two questions: 1. How well-marked the trail is? What’s the chance to get lost without a guide? 2. Do you recommend book the accommodations after Namche? Or it’s possible to book spontaneously depends on my body? Really like to go as my body allows, and stop and return when tired. Thank you for this wonderful video!

Rob & Jenny ampp? Never heard of it. I downloaded the Nepal maps like the other maps. Is any different way to down load the maps?
Thanks guys for sharing. Means a lot!
Thank you for watching! we had a brilliant time on the trek! A real once in a lifetime experience that everyone should try to do! 😀
Watched till the end! Really inspiring!!! I will/must do this trek too!
Aw thank you!! Honestly really reccomend it!
How many km did you PPL had to walk for this hike? And are those prices is in indian rupees or Nepali rupees?
Over 100km there and back! Prices are Nepali rupees 😁
very nice trek, it inspires other trekkers in nepal, thanks a lot.
So glad to hear it!!
Well done, you have inspired me for sure.
I'm so happy to hear!😁
So inviting! Good to be young. Never have the chance to go there, but happy to see your guys enjoy it. Watching your videos make me feel young. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the lovely comment! :) Honestly noone is too old. We saw people of all sizes, ages and abilities walking up.
Too good video and such a beautiful place🇳🇵
Thank you! We miss the trek already!!!
Thanks lot for this video with loads of information and fun to watch this... And first of all I wanna tell that you guys are fantastic!!!! Hopefully I will do solo trek this April or May 2021.....
So excited to see your video trekking to EBC , it's my dream to visit EBC hope one-day it will fulfilled 😊
You should! It isn't nearly as difficult as you would think. And unbelievably rewarding!
@@RobandJenny wow that sound good
Hi
Can you go straight from flight to Kathmandu and board flight to lukla,or do you need to go into Kathmandu to get permits?
We had to get a permit in Kathmandu. When we went the airport for the lukla flight was very far away but I don't think that's the case now.
Really impressive guys, well done. How do you know where you're going? I know you have a map, but at like @13:28, I don't see a path, it's just a big open expanse. How do you not get lost?

How is the internet connection throughout the trek, ncell is reliable?
It wasn't too bad actually! And some places have wifi.

Lucky you had no issues. 😀😀
Hey Rob & Jenny congratulations for this amazing trekking. I would like to do this solo trekking. Will it be safe for solo if i wont take a guide. Or what difficulties i might face? Thanks
A lot of people do it solo. The most important thing is to give yourself enough time. Extra days for the trek. This is because it is hard to know how your body is dealing with the altitude and you should take time to acclimatise as much as possible.
Have you booked the hotels in advance ?
Nope, just rocked up on the day.
Very amazing video! Sorry but the website of your EBC packing list is currently unavailable.. My wife and me are planning to do this trekking on our own too and we want to prepare very good for it! Thanks
Hi! Sorry for that. This link should work: robandjenny.co.uk/index.php/2019/07/04/everest-base-camp-trek-packing-list-and-shopping-guide-ebc-independent-trek-2019/
Will try to fix the other link as well! 😀
Love it ❤
Hi Rob& Jenny
How much did it cost to be on top without tourist guide???
The flight to lukla was the most expensive thing. The prices may have changed but it was a few hundred pounds each for that.
The accomodation and food was very cheap (and very basic) along the trail. All in all we probably only spent about 40 dollars a day between us for the trip.

I love you guys!!!
Thank you! Thanks for the lovely comment, you made us smile 😊
Can I know bro that need any experience for climing base camp?
And tell me total cost with climbing gadget. Tnx
Hey. No experience needed at all. Just enough time to take your time and not over work yourself against the altitude.
Total cost for us was only about 500 pounds for the whole two weeks I think. Check out our website for more details. Robandjenny.co.uk

@@RobandJenny Tnx bro.
Can climber see the green boot dead body when the climbing from north side?
I think that's only something on the trek up to the peak.
@@RobandJenny Tnx bro.
About guides and porters: there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding about the role of a guide when hired for an independent trek (not a fixed group). Guide is not there to boss you around (unless you let him), he is a fixer, interpreter, helper, consultant, cultural/nature/history teacher (in ideal case), contact to local culture, even a friend. I have walked Himalayan trails for almost a year in total since mid eighties, always with a guide & porters, and never has the guide told me where to go and when. I make all decisions. Naturally if someone wants to turn him/herself into a lamb that is also possible. Not me.
Hi. How much hour u walked in a day
It was different every day! Some days as much as 7+ hours but one day it was only about 2!
Is there any permission needed to hike
@@TClubbyCalicutColumbus1998 yes, but this can actually be confirmed on the way
There are two checkpoints which you need to pay for a permit to continue along the route. More details are in the blog (see video description) if that helps 👍
Let us know if you decide to hike!
Thank you for your support. Am glad 😊
Awesome journey 🤘☕
It really was! It is one of the things we will really remember for a long time!
You guys awzm & POWERFUL
Yes OK good
This is a very beautiful adventure! 😍
Thanks so much!
Hi,
Hope you guys are well. This video was absolutely fantastic and you guys did really a good job. Will you suggest me.. can I go for EBC trek as a solo traveler ? without guide how much the cost will be for EBC trek? How can I get permission for EBC trek & from where?
I must say, this video is so much inspiring for me. I wanna go there.
Stay safe guys.
Thank you so much...💖
So glad you enjoyed!! We actually wrote 2 blogs with loads of details which I think will answer your questions, link is in the video description. In short though, this is 100% possible for a solo traveller!
Omg so beautiful my tears come from my eyes seen this .
Aw thank you! Genuinely the most beautiful places we've ever been.
What an adventure! 😃
Well done! 😃
Thanks so much 😁
Sorry I don't understand
Sawagat cha 🙏🇳🇵
Stay safe
Wow
😁😃
What do you think how much money you saved without Porter and guide then people who take porter and guide?
We think we saved a lot of money!💲 Probably cost about half as much as if we had gone with an organised trek. There are upsides to taking a guide+porter though if you can afford it! 👍
I will put a post on our blog about the cost breakdown too.
@@RobandJenny sure! Would love to know about your budget breakdown!!!
@@RobandJenny really like ur videos

Great video. As an experienced hiker I STRONGLY suggest you DO NOT attempt without a guide and porter unless you are an experienced advanced treker. Odds are that you'll survive but it is a foolish risk. Many people get sick, regardless of fitness level. I did this trek plus Lobuche Peak in December 2019. Have fun, be safe, be smart. A Sherpa can save your life. A porter will make trek more pleasant and reduce chance of injury.
Thanks for your view. Having done it independently, I would say that a guide and porter is definitely not necessary, and as long as your are sensible and follow the well known advice you would be fine. The only people we saw have issues were those in groups with a guide because they were forced to keep up, even though their body wasn't ready. I think a guide and porter can definitely enhance your enjoyment, but it depends on who you are and where you get your sense of achievement from.
@@RobandJenny Thanks for your reply. I like to lean toward the more conservative side when attempting something new. With the knowledge
I gained on EBC in 2019, I'm confident I could do it independently. The two of you are young and healthy and prepared properly by doing proper research before the trip. I just wanted to avoid encouraging a first timer that thinks it's a walk in the park without some serious potential risks. I actually went on a solo trek, just me, a Sherpa, and a porter. I wouldn't want to go in a group for the reason you mentioned. Pace is very important and being slowed down or forced to rush would be a drag. The two of you have a great synergy. Also a great talent for video, editing, and making it flow so the viewer can enjoy a pleasant journey with you unlike a boring technical documentary. Wishing you both all the best in your future adventures!
No guide, no porter so what. Ebc trek is sign posted like central London streets.
We aren't saying we're special. Lots of people do it! But we found videos so useful to inspire us when we were worried we couldn't do it so we made one ourselves to prove to others it's possible and straightforward.
Crossing the Khumbu Glacier without a guide is pretty reckless
I love my nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏🙏
It's so beautiful. Probably one of the best parts of our year.
🙏🙏

你去哪？
去二仙桥！
走哪条道？
走成化大道！
你这板子这么长能拉吗？
只能拉一点点😂😂😂😂😂😂
The background spoil this video we want to hear alll of nature in nepal
I thought it was great that you didn't take a porter or guide and could set your own pace.
It made it for us, it really did. I think it's possible for anyone to do it themselves!
