The Everest base-camp trek takes days and over 100 kilometers of hiking. Along the journey, teahouses provide a hot meal and a warm bed. But the porters, who carry upwards of 45 kilograms each day, usually stay in separate lodging from the climbers who hire them. And at over 4,200 meters, getting anything to a teahouse, whether on back or by yak, is a logistical nightmare. So, what's it like inside these teahouses? And how do you run a business at the top of the world?

The porters are the heroes. They work hard risking their lives to provide for their families. I have great respect for them.

@Spyduck 3 месяца назад

Not just here. In Japan while hiking, I came across a porter crew like this, carrying supplies up to the teahouse(s) containing ingredients and just loads of water. Granted their pace isn't the same as the Nepalese, but you just can't help but respect their commitment.

Five years ago I stayed in Everest area for two months, working for a NGO in a village two days down lukla. That village can now be (hardly) reached by car, but at that time the first road was three walking days away, so everything had to be carried on back or with donkey (yaks are only used higher). I talked to a lot of porters that were providing all the goods for the village and also for trekking lodges on the Everest trek. I can say that these people are absolute beast ! Most of the dude i talked to carried around 80kg, and some of then can go up to 110kg. I didn't believe them at first, but i was absolutely unable to move their bad at all lol. The most shocking day for me was when I talked to a dude that was carrying only beer bottles. It was easy to read the weight of one bottle and then calculate the complete load, which was 110kg, this absolutely blew my mind. The guy was 45, not skinny but definetely not super jacked...

Great for covering this Business Insider. Disgusted how the porters are treated and get so little in return. It'll cost nothing for the climber to pay for the person who is carrying his luggage to lodge and get a good meal in the hotel with him.... unbelievable!

@peoplez129 16 дней назад

The reason why the tea house doesn't charge to stay is because the porters wouldn't pay for beds, because they're saving all their money, and because if the tea house didn't have beds, they would just sit and sleep at the tables, even if the owner only meant it as a place to serve food. So with the way the culture is, the only reason why he has beds at all is because he knows they'd be crowding his place anyways. At that point it's all about attracting business by offering freebies, because free beds is almost impossible to compete against. It's not that the porters can't pay....they're making a ton of money and saving it for when the season is over. The less they spend, the more they'll go home with, so they spend as little as possible.

They tell me that more than one occasion their customers have not given them a single tip at the end of the long trek, even though they customarily order 4 items on the menu morning, noon and evening. I am incredulous about how Inconsiderate trekkers can be. That spend $100s $1000x of dollars to get here and then nickel and dime the people who actually get them to their destination. it’s appalling, particularly among young trekkers .

To be honest I don't know how much tipping helps them. They shouldn't rely on customers' generosity. Porters should get paid what they deserve as the base income. I do not tip my doctors or professors and same should happen here. They have to earn what they deserve without relying on me calculating how much their work is worth because who am I to decide what a fair wage is. I would much rather pay what they are worth without the guilt tripping of thinking they are giving me free labor if I don't tip enough. Tipping them is of course better than nothing, but only a patch to the actual problem.

I notice too, on my way up to EBC, how the porters would sit together resting and sharing words and they were really happy despite the journey.

@bhasmashur 2 месяца назад

The porters don't make less than 10 USD for a few days work, and that too carrying a fridge or heavy load. Of course, their wages aren't living wages to be honest, but that figure is way too low. Since they don't have language skills and some can barely read, they are limited to purely manual labour for a living-- but our 'socialist' government with many communist parties sharing the power turning a blind eye to these conditions is hypocrisy at its best/worst. Unions exist, but they are affiliated to one political party or another and do not care about the plights of the porters/guides. I actually work as a trekking guide myself, and the wages that most guides are paid isn't great either but compared to the porters, the wages are a little higher and their are other perks too.

Many Sherpas had reached summit of Mt Everest much before Hillary. But the West, as is their nature, didn't want this to be in history books. They put their wh ite guy first. Sherpas are innocent and simple people and didn't mind the deception.

There's no evidence to prove this. Everest is considered sacred so climbing it was discouraged but even if that wasn't the case, mountaineering for the sake of it, especially when the locals had almost no access to appropriate gear and with their knowledge of the dangers, it just wasn't done. There had been multiple Everest expeditions decades before Hillary and Norgay's, all of which failed, that resulted in many fatalities. Most sherpas still say that if there were other opportunities, they would not work on Everest and they discourage their children from doing so because it's so dangerous

Hats off to the porters n tea stall owner guy... really inspired by these people...m sure the tourist,tour guides,porters etc people all are work different jobs to support themselves but i think what i believe is that ..10-11 dollars is way tooo less for the porters... they should be given more

Glad to see porter starting to get some visibility and hopefully soon recognition, like the Sherpas, although there's still a long way to go (no pun intended).

Despite the advances in recognition and respect for sherpas, segregation in treatment is clear in this video and is demoralizing to see.

@danielmanly4793 3 месяца назад

Indeed it is shameful how the well off keep the riffraff out regardless that the porters do the heavy lifting. It reminds me of folks eating inside restaurants during the mask mandates - only the so called 'help' were forced to wear the face coverings.

3:31 $11-12 a day? then where the hell does the upcharge for the carried goods come from? these guys get paid $10 for increasing the price of the goods they carry in each load by hundreds of dollars! if we assume they carry 40kg of rice for a week up to where it resells for $60/kg, and we assume it was bought in the valley for $5/kg, that's a total markup of $2200, $314 per day! what's going on, who is keeping these guys as wage slaves, why can't they just buy the goods in the valley and resell them on the mountain, and thus get paid roughly the real market value of their work?

Thanks to you guys publishing this news. I am sure it would put some light on situations Nepal tourism industry is facing. With no proper working laws; working condition; tourists boundaries; standards for health and safety the situations is miserable. I am sure change comes when people would spread information such as these in media.
