Hiking to Everest Base Camp (this was hard) | act one

I’m setting out on a big adventure: I’m trekking to Everest Base Camp, but with a twist. I’m doing it without the help of a guide, porter, or even taking a flight! Instead, it's just me and my boyfriend, a map, and a way-too-heavy backpack, that - spoiler alert - is going to cause me to struggle a lot.
In this first act (out of three), instead of flying to Lukla, we first take a bus from Kathmandu to Salleri/Phaplu. Once on the trail, we are forced to navigate muddy roads, battle relentless rain, and face challenges that push me to my limits.
But it's not all rain and mud! Despite the challenges, we get some beautiful, raw views of the Himalayas, and have a lot of fun along the way, too. It's a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with each step bringing me closer to the iconic Everest Base Camp.
Trust, me, this is a series you won't want to miss!

Did this back in '83. Brings back lots of memories. Incredibly difficult. I had porters to carry the heavy stuff, as I had limited time. In terms of what makes this so hard, not the ups, actually, but the unrelenting downs!!! By the time you reach Namche, you will have done about 3 times the elevation of Everest. The other big advantage of doing it this way, is you will never have to worry about acclimatizing. And, after Namche, compared to what you have done, it's pretty much *flat*!!! Good luck.

Beautiful video! I walked to EBC in 1991, we started from Jiri, that was where the road ended back then. We also did not have porters or a guide, that was not very common, most people walked on their own. I remember the part from Jiri to Lukla to be very beautiful and very peaceful. The first few days were very hard, but it helped us to get stronger and be prepared for the higher altitudes later on. Thank you for sharing this, it is lovely to relive this a little bit.

the story telling is so beautiful and the cinematography is so sophisticated, this is the greatest everest base camp film i have ever seen. Not only is this top quality (filming + post production), it is f**kn hard to carry film gear and find the time and logistics to efficiently shoot this trip. so well done.

Whenever I travel, I always carry a set of ear plugs in my pocket. Learned from a similar experience, but at a hostel in northern Vietnam rather than a Nepali bus. Nice video! I did the trek in 2018, but started in Lukla. It was great to see some of what I missed. I also had a similar experience with Snickers bars, initial resistance followed by overwhelming acceptance. As for the why of all of it, I can only speak to my own motivations. For me the beautiful views, the interesting people, the new foods, the photos, the videos, the moments of awe, and most importantly, to me at least, the sense of accomplishment that comes from struggling through hardship for a worthwhile goal. Achievement feels cheap if you don't have to work for it.
