The Three Passes Trek is in Nepal absolutely stunning. The Himalayan vistas are breathtaking, the people are incredibly friendly and the Dal Bhat is tasty. This trek takes you over 3 high passes; Renjo La, Cho La and Kongma La, all over 5,000 meters (16k feet). A little swing to Everest Base Camp is frosting on the cake. I did this trek in mid-November to early December, there's no snowstorms at this time, but it's a little chilly at night. In this episode, I travel from my hometown of Boulder, Colorado to Namche bazaar. Highlights include the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, and the first leg of the trek to Namche Bazar.

@markgrupstra3369 4 года назад

I'm going to Nepal in December and probably going to Everest Base Camp. It will be my first hike, so this vids are great for preparation! One (beginner) question: did you have 1 set of clothing for the entire trip and did you wash them on the way? Or did you have more of the same clothes? Or didn't you wash them at all during the trip? I don't want to pack too many stuff for my tip, but also not too less ;)

@lorailieva6783 4 года назад

Hi Ryan, do you need any permition for using a Drone in Nepal?

@duzer 7 лет назад

SenasPlage hi there! Thanks for your kind words. I went to Nepal the third week of November. The trek took 15 days...i don't have a written itinerary, but I'll have all the videos finished soon. Thank you!

Jom Pacete total budget for the trek is about 5-800 dollars. You don’t need a guide. Have fun!

@srper2 4 года назад

Love your vids, but people should know drones are illegal in the Everest area, you have to apply for and be approved for a permit.

@ChrisJBrown72 5 лет назад

Just beginning my first trip there for 2020. At what point did you get your TIMS card and any park passes. Oh whoops lol you got after you started trekking lol!(just literally watched while typing....) is that the norm? Love this series, maybe better then your ride across the u.s.!

@duzer 5 лет назад

I think you can do it either way, some people like to have everything taken care of before the adventure starts...me...not so much! Thanks for watching this series, and Lovecycles. YOU WILL LOVE NEPAL!!

@ChrisJBrown72 5 лет назад

@@duzer your probably right. If I were going it solo I would probably roll how you did, but will be taking my daughter in the fall after her HS graduation so we will probably get em in Kathmandu b4 flying up to Lukla. Thanks for showing that part though! So many videos an no one shows the permit steps... thanks again!

@TheRoBbOb37 5 лет назад

I know I'm a bit late to the party, and maybe this is a bit too personal of a question, but how much did this tip cost you total? Flights, food, hotels, gear, etc. This is beautiful!

@duzer 5 лет назад

Robert S. Howdy Robert. My flights from Denver to Kathmandu we’re 1k. Flight to Lukla was 150. The hotels cost almost nothing, like 2-3 dollars a night. Meals are about 2-5 dollars. Gear can be pricey depending on the brand, but to me, it’s worth having good gear. You could buy all your gear in Nepal and save some money. Thanks for watching!

Hi Ryan, really enjoyed bing watching your videos of the Three Passes Trek. You mention it took you about 15 days to do the entire trek. Do you have the exact itinerary? From watching the videos, this is what I came up with but I'm not sure. Would greatly appreciate if you can verify it. Day 1: Lukla - Namche Bazaar Day 2: Namche Bazaar rest day Day 3: Namche Bazaar - Tengboche Day 4: Tengboche - Dingboche Day 5: Dingboche - Chukhung Day 6: Chukhung - Lobuche (via Kongma La pass) Day 7: Lobuche - Gorak Shep (visited EBC) Day 8: Gorak Shep (visited Kala Patthar) Day 9: Gorak Shep - Dzonglha Day 10: Dzonglha - Gokyo (via Cho La Pass) Day 11: Gokyo - rest day (visited Gokyo Ri) Day 12: Gokyo - Thame (via Renjo La pass) Day 13: Thame - Namche Day 14: Namche - Lukla

How many kilos your pack?Give you credit doing home work on this particular trek,you had good map plus carry own pack and no guide.No need for porter or guide.Next time though walk in from Jiri or Bhandar,walk out from Phaplu.Also try passes opposite direction.

@the3rdeye776 4 года назад

What are those mules lugging--I bet they are doing the labor for tourists. I have mix feeling about mountain challenges, such activities have polluted and the mountains and certain aspects of the location's serenity. I have friend who climbed Mt. Everett--who cares--try world peace if you want a real challenge. Why do they call it a challenge--what are humans always *challenging* nature or each other! Challenge your own life--many have tried all their lives yet failed in the end. I'm going to challenge that rock by climbing it--hey, what about climbing a grizzly bear--that's a *challenge* but I don't these mountain climber flocking to do that. Visiting a place to appreciate and respect its free beauty projects a different inner mind set than challenging it. Thanks for the tag along.

@PaDutchRunner 5 лет назад

I think if they quoted me $2 for hotel room I would insist on paying at least $50. Paying $2 is an example of exploiting their lack of worldliness imo.
