- EVEREST BASE CAMP- A truimph of mind over body.
This is my story and chronicles of an incredible experience. This is my story of the Everest base camp. This was a life changing experience, and made me realize just how truly nature dwarfs us.
This was the BEST video of EBC climb that I have seen so far. You have earned a loyal subscriber. Thank you and good luck in future endeavors.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I think this is the best and most realistic EBC trek i have seen. You show so many details that most others leave out. Your attitude was excellent, and i know from doing it myself in December a few years ago, how hard it is for those of us not used to this kind of thing. Day two was a nightmare for me too, and one i will never forget. Walking in the Himalayas is impossible to describe to anyone who has not been there, but you did a very good job of explaining the feeling through your words. Congratulations to you.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Just came across this and can't wait to watch it when I get home tonight. I leave March 18 to make this trek and am very excited to have the opportunity to do this.
Hi! Im getting to kathmandu march 18th too for this hike plus 3 passes. :)
Thank you for taking us with you on your amazing journey Dhiren! I don't know if I will ever get there, so I thank you for being my legs and my eyes, for doing all the incredibly hard work to allow me to "summit" EBC with you. Your raw emotion is understandable and as beautiful as the scenery. May you fulfill many more dreams.
Thank you Lee for those wonderful words early in the morning. Made my day! Get obsessed with it, and you will surely make it! Best of luck!
Beautiful. I don’t usually comment, but yours is one of the few videos I have seen that captures the emotion of the trek. Very nicely done.
Thank you so much 🙂
Good on you mate, good to see your raw emotions. Coming in September and I can’t wait
Awesome! Will be memories for a life time, I assure you!
One of the best videos on this base camp trek ! Well done!
Thank you for the kind words!
I have looked at several of these treks but yours is the ABSOLUTE BESTEST YOU TOOK TIME TO REALLY TAKE IN THE WONDERMENT THAT'S AROUND YOU
Thanks for sharing your journey! Incredible views and I could feel your gratefulness for the mountains and for the moment . Congratulations 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Honestly had me glued the whole way through, what an amazing experience and how proud you must have been reaching ebc, the TH-cam community is also very proud of you , really well done my friend 👍👊
Thank you Justin! That is such a sweet comment to make! Yes, I am very happy and proud to have made it to EBC. Thank you once again!
Amazing video and congratulations. It really is mind over matter. I did this trek in 1989 and summited Kala Pathar - extremely grueling and punishing but at the end rewarding. I am going back this April with my daughter as I want her to experience this magical kingdom. Thanks Dhiren for the video and many congrats.
Thank you so much for your words. Lot of water has flown under the bridge since 1989. Your daughter will absolutely love it. Once in, none can get Nepal out of their system!
Congratulations on completing the trek and thank you for a wonderful video. It was apparent that it really meant a lot to you. I will be doing the trek in the fall and hope I'm lucky enough to have the same weather you did. Best of luck to you on your next adventure.
Thank you Paul! Wishing you all the very best for your upcoming trek!
You have blessed my day with your story. I hope that all of the good things in life find their way to your life. Namaste Brother.

what a fantastic video and mind blowing to think people have stood on top of what you have gone to see i tip my hat to you sir
Thank you! I agree...What climbers go through to fulfill their passion of climbing Mt. Everest cannot even be gauged, as the trek upto the base camp itself was body wrenching!
This is an exceptional video, what a beautiful journey and love your commentary during the very long trek. I am half way through but will be watching this a few times. Just amazing my dost.
Thank you very much! Best of luck!
Great video with details!
Thank you. Yes, it was end of November / beginning of December 2021.

Well done and thank you for sharing your incredible experience. I really enjoyed watching your video. I'm thinking maybe I could do that trek.
Thank you. Go for it. You will do it!
Beautiful video !!

Nice video, mate. Hope to do this myself one day.. The himalayan mountains are awe inspiring.
Thanks
Goodness i cried along with you at reaching Everest Base camp congrats
Thank you soooo much. That moment meant a lot to me, and I am so happy you could understand the enormity of the moment for me! Thank you once again!
Great Honest Video Dhiren? I like the honesty and simplicity of the way you described you feelings be it the hard climb and the fact that this is the best you could do for your body. I think Steve is right that this video is the most honest and detailed at the same time. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words!
Hi Dhiren, I plan to do this EBC trek this year starting on December 22nd.
I plan to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro & Mt. Everest base camp back to back in 2024. Great video.
All the very best, sincerely!
You’ve made a really lovely video and your commentary is beautiful. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you! 🙏🏻
That was very moving, thank you for your sincerity
Thank you for your kind words!
@@dhiren2511 I’m planing the trek later this year. Your video is inspirational.
Really enjoyed watching your trek and congratulations. I'll do it myself some day and will also go in Dec. Seems relatively quiet.
Go for it! Don't miss this!
Great work on footage on explaining etc Thank You . On my list to do as well!! and congrats !!!
Thank you!
So cool - coming soon!!!
Thanks, and best of luck.
Thank you brother.
Welcome!
Great video and well done 🙏
Thank you
Awesome video! It has been my dream to get there. Hopefully will reach there by this year's end.
Go for it!
Nice adventure brother. Thanks for sharing your video keep safe .
Thank you!
I'm in tears by seeing those images, an unfulfilled dream of mine this is. l still hope and pray that one day... 🥲. My ambition and goal is to reach base camp only since l'm much more into the natural scenery appreciation than that of mountaineering per se. God bless you and thank you for such a beautiful video with such an incredible ambient music in the background. Namaste 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words. I pray you fulfill your dream and ambition of going to the Everest Base Camp.
Watched every minute of your trek and celebrated with you when you reached EBC. My sister and brother-in-law are flying into Lukla today (if the weather clears) to start their journey to EBC. Your video allowed me to see what awaits them. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Thank you for the kind words! Wishing your sister and brother in law, all the very best for what is going to be, easily the most brilliant experience!
@@dhiren2511 Thank you. Best wishes on your next adventure!
Thanks for sharing your interesting video. I’ll be going up there this July to celebrate my 60th birthday your in-depth video was very useful thank you again.
Thank you. Wishing you all the success!
@@dhiren2511 How much would you say you spend per day for food and accommodation? Reports online Very and some guy who was on a tight budget even said that it he spent easily $50 a day?
I actually thought it would be more half than of that, considering that most guest houses cost 700 NPR.
Your input is much appreciated..
Congratulations, Dhiren on your achievement! The videography is stunning. Your video could well be a commercial for an iPhone 13. Your respect for the mountains and the landscape, and the emotions you felt come thorough clearly in your storytelling. I hope to experience something similar on my EBC trek in October 2022. 🙏
Thank you for your words! Your Oct trek will be one of a lifetime!
me going there in october as well
@@nazgrey5979 Hope you had a great trip to The Base Camp. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole journey.
Thank you for your great video. I felt exactly as you did when went there in 2009. I am hoping 5o go again either this year or next year. It will be my 4visit to Nepal. I love 5he country and the people. Stay safe
Thank you for the kind words! Yes, the region is addictive!
Very well done clip. 👍
Thank you!
Very nice video. It was like doing the trek with you !! I am now more curious about AmaDablam than Everest, as you had been pointing at it from every direction 😆
Thank you! Yes, Ama Dablam is the prettiest peak of the lot. 9 months post the trek, it still is my phone wallpaper!
Congratulations Dhiren2511 on your amazing journey. Awesome video too.
How did you star your trip? We’re you with a trekking outfit? Thanks
Congratulations for making your way to the base camp and thankyou for sharing your experience. Just to let you know that the river you've been saying bagmati is not bagmati but dudh koshi river. Thanks 😊
Yup! Figured that one out regarding the name of the river! Thanks for the kind words!😄
Nice video. I'm going there in December this year. How cold was it at the higher altitudes?
thanks for sharing. hands down the best video on the EBC trek. have watched several times.
Did you use diamox? thanks in advance
Thank you for your kind words! Appreciate them!
No, I did not use diamox. Thankfully the acclimatization was sufficient to ensure everything went well.
Well done you!
Thank you
Congratulations Dhiren 👍 on your once in a lifetime Acheivement.. Could actually feel myself walking in those Mighty Himalayas with you .. I am visiting EBC in April 🙏🏔️ & can't wait to experience all those mighty Mountains 🙏 I too was teary eyed with you in the end, could actually feel ur emotions thru your videography 🙏 Thank you so much for this beautiful journey Experience.. it is really helpful 🙏 Wish me luck 👍tat I too can complete my Once in a lifetime Himalayan Journey with gratitude and blissfulnesss🏔️🙏❤️ Thanks again Dhiren 👍
Thank you for your kind words, Mona. That teary eyed moment will remain with me forever. Meant everything to me! Wishing you all the very best for your upcoming trek. It will easily be the best thing you've done till date! All the very best!
Thank you so much 🙏for ur best wishes 🙏
I watched your video twice already. I loved all your honest comments about how hard it was yet I guess it has to be mind over body. Did you do a lot of training and also how were you with altitude sickness? Can’t wait to go to EBC April 2, 2022. Your video inspired me to make it all the way, can’t believe you said you’re out of shape. Congrats!
Thank you much for your kind comments. I did basic cardio for a month before the trek. Nothing off the roof. Just basic running and speed walking.
I didn't face altitude sickness issues probably because of that bit of cardio i did. And yes! I was, and am, out of shape! Thanks once again! And best of luck for your upcoming trek. It may not be as cold as it was in Dec, but you will have a lot of snow! So have fun!
Can you tell me what you used to sterilize your water? Did you buy or boil? Thanks, Janet
I am watching the video again.
i feel you :)
🙏🏻
Great video I’m going here in 2 months 👍
Thank you, and best of luck!
Such a good video! Planning to do the trek myself in March so really good to see this. How did you find it with covid? Has it affected anything at all?
Thank you for the appreciation. You will enjoy your experience. That's for sure. Beyond the security check at Kathmandu airport, things are quite safe and especially in the mountains beyond Lukla, there is no talk of Covid. Masks are always safer though, but they make the breathing very very difficult while climbing.
@@dhiren2511 thank you - that is so good to hear! Looks incredible
Dear Dhiren, what you have recorded is something incredible. Its simply brilliant. So well taken and i got a clear sense of what it takes to do what you did. I am 62 years and i am planning to do EBC this October. This has been most helpful. Can you list down all the things you carries with you... Including boots, backpack, sleeping bags etc... I am planning to this with my elder brother who is turning 66.... How do i reach out to you?
Thank you Mr. Natarajan for your kind words. Please share your email id, and we can connect. Thank you!
Congrats for the amazing video. I'm planning on going as well, do you recommend any trekking company and guide? Best regards
Thank you for the kind words!
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing your experience..How much money have you spend from Kathmandu-Kathmandu and is guide compulsory?
The cowbell symphony at 41:40 is very nice.
Tara Air!!
well done sir
Thank you!
How did you plan this trek ? By own or trekking company?
Which camera and gimble have you used? Amazing effort.
Thank you. I have used nothing but my iPhone 13.
Amazing video. What camera did you use?
Thank you Luke! I used my iPhone 13! Nothing else
Can i ask when u started the trek in Dec? Planning to go in a months time and just been doing cardio but feeling nervous
It was last week of Nov to 1st week of December
Where did u take your guide from ?
My ever dreamt place where I go very often accompanied with the book by famous Himalayan lover and travelogue writer Sri Umaprasad Mukhopadhya jii.Thank you for sharing in details all. Beautiful.Make a visit to Holy Kailash Manas again thank you dear. 🙏
Thank you for your kind words!
Why did you go via Tengpoche when there is a much more impressive high trail on the opposite side of the valley? Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche High Scenic Trail offers tremendous views high across the valley, lots of wildlife and practically no other trekkers. Tengpoche can be visited on the way down.
Perhaps that is the way his guide led him. And it didn't look like very many trekkers on the trail or in the tea houses ... covid still having an impact.
Are there teahouses on this higher trail?
Thanks in advance
This is for the second time I am reading your this comment. If you have videos of the via Phortse trail then a youtube video with appropriate title will help popularize it
@@vonkarbel Thanks for asking. Mong La has maybe four lodges at an amazing place high on a ridge. Phortse Tenga near the river is also along the standard Gokyo route and has half a dozen lodges, but I would not recommend staying there as it is bit gloomy place in a shadow and not good for acclimatisation being relatively low. Phortse is the most pristine Sherpa village in the whole Khumbu valley and has at least half a dozen big lodges, good place to sleep replacing Tengboche. Had those already in 1998 the first time I took this route. The Phortse to upper Pangpoche hight trail is devoid of teashops (at least was the last time I walked it in 2018). It is approximately a 3 hour hike to upper Pangpoche where there are several lodges near the Monastery. The trail then continues to DIngpoche (or Periche) skirting a cremation site without need to go to the lower Pangpoche, which is now mostly just a lodge strip and not very interesting
What comes to videos I do have photographs, but I rather just enjoy my treks without stressing myself with shooting video for TH-cam. Here is a picture from the trail anyway: www.dropbox.com/s/3jufplmiycaoera/Stairway_to_Heaven.jpg?dl=0 Tengboche monastery can be seen middle right.
FYI: there is a much more impressive high trail on the opposite side of the valley from Tengboche. Some better agencies have been using it for some years already. No need to walk the same route twice.
Ah Ok!
Could you please post a link for the background music? thank you 🙏🏻
When this video was taken? I was there about a month ago. Great job!
28th Nov. Reached base camp on 5th Dec. Thanks
@@dhiren2511 I arrived at Mount Everest Base Camp on Dec 12, 21. It's cool to see your video due to close days since I didn't take video. I am more about photography. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Thank you Jennifer!
@@jenniferim401 what was the weather like in december?
will it be freezing cold on december ? i want to plan on december but the guide said very cold
We faced temperatures in the mountains, at the warmest around 3-5 degrees, and coldest was around -26 degrees
Bhai khali itna bata total expense kitna huva?
I think the video was taken in November 2021. The weather was gorgeous almost everyday.
Hello, have a question....
How many days does it take to reach EBC?
6 days from Lukla.
@@dhiren2511 including return or one way?
my nepal my pride
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi, when was this trekking done?
Hi. Nov end / Dec beginning 2021
Dear dhiren.. it's the best video on base camp I v come across . I too planning in this may.. I need few tips .. esp the best trek company and weather in may .. min temp and at night temp.. pls reply and provide me wit yr mail id.. I need few ans for my questions.. thank you dhiren.
Thank you Vijay. Pls share your email and we can connect. Thanks
It's really good and appreciable by Indian standard, but stop rotating your camera to show 360 view. My head is spinning seeing your video, get a stabilizer and keep the camera straight.
Are you Gujarati?
I want to contact you
I am from Surat
And will be going to EBC
Yes
@@dhiren2511 how to contact you, Dhirenbhai
When you travel on actual month...
December 2021
I am also plan for Dec. 2022, its good for time n weather conditions.. what about the tea House.
Areeeeyyyyy Tau hindi bol le....................... Does vlogging instils a mandatory requirement to have a conversation in english.... Imagine.. the beauty of Himalayas described in Hindi....... u would be able to reach out to wider audience... ... Rest is Kool....
I don't want to visit an open garbage dump where the stench of rotting human bodies is always around, with bits of dead climbers coming out of the icefall constantly.
I want everyone who comes back from there fined $10,000 per kilo, for every kilogram of shit they leave behind - or spend a lot of time in jail.
Climbers are the worst litterbugs and trash dumpers of all time.
Where did you get these ideas? Khumbu Icefall is about 3000m long and the average flow speed of the glacier is 20 m per year. So the first bodies are likely to appear out of the icefall at around year 2120. Besides the ice is over 100m thick, bodies do no ride on the surface, and do not stink as they are frozen (actually ground to dust before getting anywhere).
