Very helpful video, thanks for putting this together. I have a question, what is considered a good tip for the guide? Thanks!

@ClairesFootsteps Месяц назад

No worries! We tipped $50 each which was split between 2 guides, there were 11 of us so each guide got $275. We also tipped another $50 each that was split between six porters.

Nice informative vlog TY. Good tips for this old Brit fart living in US and off to EBC in mid Sept. Going solo but with Guide.

Great tips! It’s funny how you pronounce these Nepali villages, as if these are French towns 😅

Useful video ! Were you concerned about bathroom situation, as in finding a place to pee along the whole trek ? Especially if you drink a lot of water, to stay hydrated. Thanks

@ClairesFootsteps Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊 I have a bladder condition so this was very important for me haha! Further down the trail there are lots of bathrooms (some squats), further up the trail there are less but always managed to find a bush if needed haha. There are teahouses every few hours throughout the trail however. If you take diamox you'll need to pee more - just be aware of that!

Such a nice video ❤

@wesleyverzosa Месяц назад

Great video ! How many weeks in advance do you need to book with the trekking company ?

@ClairesFootsteps Месяц назад

We booked about 8 months but you definitely don't need to that early. Our final deposits were due 3 months before so maybe then, but if they had space they'd sort something out! Worth contacting them nepalhikingadventure.com/

True Traveler only works if you are normally living in certain countries. ( Very restrictive ).

@ClairesFootsteps 9 дней назад

Ah okay that's good to know, which countries?

@frederickkrewson638 9 дней назад

@@ClairesFootsteps Seems like you have to "normally reside" in either the UK or one of the countries in Europe. ( other people cannot apply for coverage )

@scottloveday1562 Месяц назад

Thanks so much for the video Clare! 😄 Absolutely brilliant and very clear advise. As a general figure / just approximates - may I ask how much the trip cost in total?

@ClairesFootsteps Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed it! In total probably about £2000 including everything (flights, tour, accom in Kathmandu, extras on the trail) - I've broke it all down here clairesfootsteps.com/everest-base-camp-trek-cost/
