Everest is definitely not empty during March through august! April in May is the only time of year people actually climb the mountain so it’s often full of trekkers. Plus the weather is the best.

@moniquemedved 3 жыл бұрын

These periods were just what the local guides recommended were best times to go. I enjoyed going in September because it was quiet, but I think going at any other time of the year would still lead to an amazing experience.

I'm pretty sure it's also not the coldest.

@CIPHER7968 3 жыл бұрын

The only tourist off season for Everest is Monsoon season. I've certainly not heard of local people evacuating - this is their homeland, the local people have literally evolved over thousands of years to live there.

@davidrichards9898 2 жыл бұрын

We went in march. Still some snow from winter. Shoulder seasons are good. Coldest is dec jan. Its northern hemisphere not down under. But summer is Wettest (monsoon) june to aug. So sep is good but things should be okay mar to end of may.

It rained for 3 continuous days when I hiked there in 2001 so there is a risk if going at the tail end of the monsoon season. All my other trips were undertaken in October when there is less cloud to obscure the mountain views despite the inconvenience of the extra crowds. Rest of the recommendations are v good but personally I did not have an issue with the water quality at higher altitudes (tablets were used lower down). Glad you liked Nepal, a must do travel destination.

Excellent Visa & new to your channel. I have summited Everest twice & everything you have suggested is absolutely correct. I even learned some tips from you. Some people are underwhelmed when they finally reach Base Camp bcause all that's there are just lots of rocks & tents & people doing nothing because they are trying to acclimatising. Trekking from Lukla to Base Camp is no easy thing & enoyable. Don't do what i did on my first time to Everest & missing a lot of great scenery because i was looking at my feet all the time watching i don't trip over. Nice tip about getting your Visa at kathmandu as it is much cheaper.

Your tips were excellent. Just a few more things to suggest. Do wear your boots for a few weeks before the trip. Ill fitting boots can ruin your trip. Bring moleskin in case of blisters. When I toured the Annapurna circuit with a high end external frame pack, the frame had a failure about 12 days into the hike. So I now use internal frame packs even though they compromise air circulation between my back and the pack. For Annapurna circuit including Annapurna sanctuary, about 400km, most hikers had packed loads of 13 to 16kg. Bring your own spoon, fork and cup so you don't have to use the public ones.

Hi Monique, great vid and tips! I'm doing the trek in 2024 so in the middle of research. I'm still confused on the water. I understand the options you mentioned for filtering, but dumb question - what was the water *source* each day if you weren't buying it on the mountain?

@more_g0ne 2 жыл бұрын

I believe the climbers, trekkers & mountaineers depend on local streams derived from Khumbu Glacier melt for drinking and cooking. I also think they use the snow for those uses as well. Any good company or guide will supply filtered water, however, bottled water can be purchased at most tea houses and shops along the route. Because of the altitude it is recommended you drink in the region of 3-4 litres per day, although this can include, tea and soup.

congrats for surviving the trek and great inputs too. However, most of it is not true i meant it all depends on every trekker. I did this unguided. About the guides and porters, you don't pay for their accommodation and food each tea house serves them for free. It's kinda a kind gesture that they brought customers to their tea houses and more. For the visa, the trekking company doesn't run it. You must do the visa run.

After being delayed since March 2020, planning on starting a guided trek the end of September 2022. Some tour companies suggest to have $500 USD cash for EM medical evac. The same $$ was suggested for a helicopter to Lukla in the event that the plane is grounded. If spending/ tips/food is included it equates to roughly $1500 USD cash. Not concerned about $$ but is this what I should plan on having in cash?

@ganappashivaiah6064 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Monique, very informative, just what i was looking for, for my future trip to the EBC. I'm planning to do solo but join a tour group from Nepal (Lukla) to the EBC and back or, just engage a tour guide just for myself from Nepal. I don't know how much that'd cost me though.....Did you engage any tour guides or did the trek on your own with your own group? If you did engage a tour guide how much did it cost you? Also, when you organised your permits, how much did that cost you in AUD? was it done in Australia or after you arrived in Nepal? Undertaking this trek has been on my mind for years......

@moniquemedved 3 жыл бұрын

If this has been soemthing that has been on your mind for years, then do it! You will not regret it. There are soooo many places you can do it through when you get to Kathmandu and even when you get to Lukla. I'm not 100% sure those cost of that if you were to pay for it when you arrive, but all up in AUD doing it through a tour company that was booked here in Aus not including flights, I believe it was $2500 and it covered most of our meals as well. When I plan on going again to do the Annapurna circuit, my guide that I did it through the travel company with is actually going to guide me solo. I can ask him what the rough estimated price would be to do it with a local. I think doing it with a local guide is a much more thorough experience. Where are you from?
