Very good tips, thanks.
My top tips:
I live an area with a lot of hills (Paddington, Brisbane), I loaded up my pack with all of the gear I was taking on the EBC trek. I put in months of solid work doing 1-2 hours each night with the pack and boots I would be using. The two things I would recommend would be to carry two liters of water on top of your load, and to wrap a house brick in a towel and add it to your pack. You will be carrying water on trail and the brick will help you to become used to more weight than you will actually be carrying. If you can find stairs, use them. The trek had a lot of steps cut into the trail. If you have problems with heights, work on it. The suspension bridges are safe, but a fear of heights will still rattle you. No matter how much you train, you will benefit from doing more.
Wow great video. Did it in 2008, made it to EBC but ended up with Hape & HACe and got choppered off. Wish I had a program like this. In 2008. Advise is to tap into your inner self before you start. Get very observant about your body and what ur feeling and use that along the trip. This is a physical, mental and emotional journey. One that changed my life for the better. Make sure you remove your ego before the trip. Ego can kill you on this trip. I’d recommend the surgeon mask for the dusty times. I started the dusty side effects at 4200m and the bandana didn’t do it. An n95 mask would be great. Enjoy the prep as it makes end result so much better. The best adventure trip of my life
great video. Cant wait to go back. I would add once a week (if you have no mountains) load up your pack, start with 6kg and work up to 12, and find a staircase and just go up and down. I had 10 stories in my building and worked up to 2 hours, just up and down. You will need a good podcast, i listened to Casefile. I did that in addition to everything you recommended, and got the EBC and back with no worries.
Thanks for the video, time to start the grind.
Your video is so valuable and thnq so much for these information by this channel.
Well done and fully agree with all your reasonable and factual recommendations…chapeau! 🤠
Thanks. Very helpful. I'm doing EBC Trek with Adventure Consultants in April 2025, so I have plenty of time to prepare myself for it.
Planning go there very soon.
This is great! Can’t wait to do this trek, do you have groups / tours that go or just the workout group?
Kool clip...I am doing EBC in March... this is helpful
If you liked this video and your hungry for more info like this I made one about Kilimanjaro which has extra information about training that will help you, even if you're not doing Kilimanjaro! You can see it here
Late Feb begining of march 18'. When i will go back i will do differently 3 things: drink more and warmer water, soups and tea; take diamox from lukla; buy and use a airtrim mask for sleep at night over 4000m.
How do i sign my friend foodie beauty up for your program? Please let me know ASAP. Tank you.
Kala Patthar was much more difficult than the final trek to base camp, but well worth the effort!
thanks!!
Hey, hope you are doing good. I am thinking of going there late october.can you throw some light on how temp would be up there???
Hi there, thanks for your explanation!
You forgot to mention, avoid the meat menu on Air India. Every time I go to Nepal I end up with the trots in Kathmandu 😢.
