Hiking to Everest Base Camp in Nepal - Trekking in the Himalayas

The hike to Everest Base Camp in Nepal is one of the most spectacular and iconic high-altitude treks in the Himalayas, passing through remote Sherpa villages, rustic tea houses and epic mountain landscapes, culminating at the foot of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest.

Back in May, me and Amy were joined in Nepal by our friends Clare and Russ to take on this incredible multi-day trek. Led by our Sherpa guides, Gelu, Mingma and Pemba, we spent 12 days hiking 80 miles from the village of Lukla - home to 'the world's most dangerous airport' - up to Everest Base Camp at 5,364m above sea level, and back again.

I did this trek 6 years ago when I was 60.. never hiked or trekked anywhere in my life. But I do have determination.. no idea what to expect but had a great time and met some wonderful people. I love watching these video. Brings back great memories.

This is the best video you've done so far. It definitely deserves more views. Your narration is also excellent. Keep up the good work.

Wow 😮, mesmerising sceneries. It’s seems that i have drowned in the middle of the Himalayas for the last 37 minutes. ❤ From Bangladesh.

Great video, just did the EBC a few weeks ago - stopped at some of the same teahouses albeit taking a different route to Dingbouche from Naamche. Awesome chronicle of the adventure, safe trekking for the future
