Hi Kevin RU-vid algorithm brought me here , what an incredible accident. I am considering doing EBC by myself in May 2025 my wife isn't into hiking and pushing the limits as I am.. I am in awe of the beauty of nepal and you really showcased the emotional connection you have when you are there. I can't express how excited I am to see these majestic mountains with my own two eyes. Love your documentary style of shooting. Got a new subscriber here from Sydney Australia cheers Daniel
Fantastic Daniel. Its definitely worth it. Do check out World Expedtions they are as you may know an Australian company. I will see if I can arrange a small discount code for you 😊
I will never see the Himalayas but they are a part of the nature around me that I love. I share the pain of the planet and the guilt of humanity. Thank you for this wonderful film.
Sounds like we need to get a handle on Global Warming. Hard to see how to succeed without sending China and India to the Stone Age, as they're FAR BIGGER carbon emitters than the West.
You’re absolutely right, But I’m actually also a qualified geologist. There are many factors that contribute towards glacial melting. Position of Earth in relation to the Sun, volcanic activity on the planet etc etc - but there is a direct correlation between the carbon omissions in the last 250 years and global trends in the natural world. Glaicers across the planet are in rapid decline. This lake appeared in six years, which in geological time is nanosecond - is this directly linked to human activity impossible to give a black and white answer, but we certainly haven’t helped !
I think I would find it stressful not to have a proper toilet with endless toilet paper! I went on an excusion in the Dominican Republic once and decided to put a roll of toilet paper in my bag! It became very very useful!
You did such a beautiful job on this film. It stands alone and is nothing like the usual basecamp trekker videos. I am very sorry for the loss of your 4 friends. I truly believe that David Sharp should have survived. I look forward to watching much more from you.❤ subscribed
It's crazy that their average yearly income is about $1,000, yet they have no problem gouging visitors for less than optimal sleeping conditions. They would still make more in 2 months by charging half, than they earn in 5 years.
My hike to base camp 2 was brutal. I have never been so exhausted and sore!! We walked into the clouds, and when we came out of the clouds, headed to camp 2, there was a whole new mountain to climb. Pictures can't show just how beautiful it is up there!! I ended up with dysentery, so the rest of the climb was canceled. I am still thankful for the local people who help me. Almost a whole month before I recovered and the people who invited me to stay in there house were so patient. I couldn't stop pooping is an under statement of what I went through and ended up severely dehydrated. To this day I am thankful to be alive and thankful my trip was cut short.
Wow, what an incredible story… thank you for sharing and appreciate you taking time to watch… it’s moments of humanity that mean so much I have lots more adventures planned, hope you can subscribe
Thanks so much. So many happy memories. I too, was sad to see the new lake at EBC. It wasn't there in 2012. I climbed Chola Pass in snow and ice plus a white out thrown in for extra excitement. I am sorry you did not get to do Gorkio Ri, but understand your reasoning. My second visit to EBC ended at Gorak Shep where a helicopter collected me for a few days in Kathmandu hospital due to a case of pneumonia. Despite this set back I would dearly love to return to Nepal and especially the Khumba Valley. Safe trekking everyone.
Loved this journey. Also, hopefully this will convince doubters of global warming that it exists! We alone need to help our own environment no matter where you are in this world. Thank you for this very interesting and informative video! ❤
Unfortunately, your comment got held for review because I had to block the word climate and global, because of the amount of harassment and malicious comments, from those who believe in climate change is a political conspiracy - accusing me of being a homosexual communist !! 🤣 So I really appreciate your acknowledgement and support
Iam a fan (critic too) of the. Everest pull to ascend this mountain. Interesting how this has become the lifeblood of the Sherpa since Hilary and Tenzing. If they ha not succeeded would Nepal be the noisy airport/commercially overcrowded, environmentally trashed, Mecca that it has evolved into??😖😞
Very interesting and exciting trip Kevin. Question, when you say it's been so cold, what temperatures are you speaking of? Colder than -10 Celsius plus windchill? Thanks
Yes no more - but also some very cold lodges ( minus the wind chill of course) do check out my other two video gear and top tips they might also help - if you have any questions please reach out! Lots more adventures, hope you can subscribe !
What you expect. They are a very poor country. You paid for it and new what you were getting yourself into. So you ignorant person don't berate that country. Your channel hopefully won't last long with your ignorance. So have some compassion. There's more dirtier places and people in UK.
Honestly 30 a day seems more than reasonable for the lodges….. the work that goes into to building them staffing then keeping maintained. That money also goes a lot further there I don’t think any westerner has any right to complain about the price of you don’t like it don’t go there smh
Especially after going to college with 2 friends who came from Nepal this money is very much needed and westerners far to often take advantage my one fried Bibatshu’s uncle has been stiffed by multiple foreigners (lots of British) when it came to tipping their porter disgusing
Would have been a great vid but you just have to shoe horn that propaganda in . There are valleys all over Scotland that are there because there used to glaciers.
Dont see what propaganda you’re talking about - if you choose to bury your head in the sand and choose to follow Internet conspiracy theories without understanding what we have been collectively doing toward planets climate and ecosystems for the last 300 years then I am sorry - as a qualified geologist, I’m fully aware of the natural forces that shape are landscape… but humans releasing captured carbon is completely uncharted water
I live in a Province that contains 250,000 lakes and every one of them, without exception, was created by glacial recession and filled with glacial meltwater more than 10,000 years ago (no doubt caused by the smoke from Neanderthal cooking fires). Your little Everest puddle pales by comparison. How much do you think it costs to transport a Mars bar halfway around the world to one of the poorest countries on Earth? Complaining about the 'high cost' seems laughable.
This was so beautiful and genuine! Thank you Kevin. ❤️ I'm blessed to have been in some of the places you showed in your video, as well as on the Indian side of the Himalayas. So much respect for the mountain and the ones who climb it! I remember my first experience (day 1) flying into Himalayas at only 3500 m altitude and having such a bad altitude sickness that I wished I was rather in labor than that. I told myself that if I didn't improve by next day I would fly out. Luckily I recovered by the next morning. Even more lucky (because I was not a trained one) I was the only one in our group who didn't have altitude sickness or even difficultly walking at 5000+ meters on that trip. My group felt better than me on day 1, but never good enough onwards. I suffered like a dog on day 1 but was a butterfly for the rest 2 weeks. I would never ever fly in without climatization first. I'd rather spend an extra week trekking or car driving instead of flying. The Indian side of the Himalayas look so similar to your video, and I found them easier to do than the Nepal side. You can reach 4500-5000+ meters in good shape, without much (if at all) prior training. You need to be healthy though. Like your friend and you on your trip, I so strongly believe that listening to your body is sooo important! It's not a sign of giving up. I didn't have to do it, again luckily, but I was always ready for it and at peace with it if it happened. Some of the worst accidents and life changing moments happen when we do not listen to and respect our bodies. I used to be one of those pushy ones in my 20s, not anymore in my 30s and 40s. It changed my health for the better, as well as the respect I have for nature, both outside and in ourselves. ❤️
