What an adventure and company! It’s very challenging to capture all these beautiful moments and making it public to many enthusiast out there willing to know the challenges they would face in such lifetime trip. Thank you very much for sharing 🙌
Few comments: A seasoned trekker needs not sign up for a fixed itinerary EBC trek because it is easy enough to go solo, either alone or with a private porter-guide, at your own pace. Or put together our own group with friends, make your own more interesting and safe itinerary and hire a guide & porters, or not. Possible to change plans or split up if feeling that way. I have done all my 12 long treks in 40 year's time this way, total 11 months or so. About itinerary: like practically all groups you went both up and down via Tengboche even though there is a vastly more impressive high tral on the other side of the valley via Phortse. People should use that on the way up, only come down via Tengboche. Takes the same 2 days from Namche to Dingpoche. Guides are lazy and afraid to propose anything out of the ordinary. Idiotic to hike the same trail twice when there is a better alternative.
Thanks for the insight, you are totally right. Only thing is for a first timer in the region, regardless of how much data you gather, it is slightly dangerous to go solo. I didn’t know about phortse. Thanks for sharing. The problem is normally porters want to come back to the same starting point where they live or they pick their next hiker. You need to ask for customized track and they probably gonna increase their rates. This track is too commercialized.
@@ZinSportsChannel "Safety" is in some ways a difficult concept to specify. People think it is safer to walk with a guided group, but a German study found out that 8 (eight!) times more trekkers die of AMS on guided groups compared to independent trekkers. This is because of fixed itineraries not taking slow acclimatisers into account, and the group pressure within a group of strangers. Many groups have no assistant guides so that they could split up if necessary. Generally itineraries are too fast just to make trek packages cheaper. In the distant past we did our first two treks 25 days (AC + ABC) and 42 days (Khumbu/EBC/Mera) just by hiring a guide and 1 or 2 porters, planning the stages and even the routes as we went. Dangerous? I did not see it that way at all. But anyway it is a complicated thing and people with very little outdoor experience now want to go trekking, especially EBC. If interested check what full AC looked like in the eighties, no roads, no phones, 320 km and almost 4 week sof walking pristine trails: czcams.com/video/wxXPsO0Zuzo/video.html
Wow so much adventure ✌🏻
