Wow, I am lost for words at the support and love this story is receiving! Thanks for giving this film a chance and joining us on our journey! We are both so thrilled! Phanden wanted to let everyone know that although he is no longer guiding Everest expeditions, he is still available to guide the Everest Base Camp Trek, as well as the high pass trek, and more. If anyone or any group is interested in trekking in the area soon, I'd highly recommend him (although, I might be biased :D). I've left his email in the description of the video. Please reach out! Thank you all once again, my heart is so full right now.

I love that Luke made the video all about Phanden rather than about his own quest. Inspiring.

This film isn't about Everest or Luke, it's about Phanden. Thank you for sharing his life in such a beautiful way.

Guys, Phanden gave the porters stuff to help them with their job. He's really kind and everyone's favorite 😭🥺

This is not about visiting the basecamp - this is about a sherpa and his life. SO beautiful bro keep your work going can't wait to see more!

The moment Phanden said 'no'. WOW. The power of a decision. He actually managed to choose his family over such passion.

For anyone who has never been that high - the headaches really hurt and dont go away for a while. Sleeping can also be difficult and you get very vivid dreams when you do sleep.

Putting this Nepalese fella in the spotlight you did the world a good deed. Thanks for sharing such a wholesome story.

We don’t hear much about the Sherpa’s life, emotions, goals, challenges and families. Thank you for giving Phanden a spotlight. Amazing video.

Whenever you get lucky enough to find a guide who will invite you into their home and meet their family, it’s incredibly special

I've known the Guide for more than 20 years now (visited Nepal 5 time). Phanden Sherpa is a True Legend and one of the best human beings I ever met in my life. No kidding. Great video too!

[nicollechantelle]

I’m in tears. This is the reason why YouTube creators are the best. You hear stories that would never be told. These are the stories of the globe. This is love, kindness, life, humanity. This video was everything. You did an amazing job sharing his story. Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration to do this. You’re a light in the world ❤

HOW is this free to watch… incredible dude

[dandymcgee]

It's so cool that you gave Phanden the opportunity to revisit such an important place in his life, without breaking his promise or putting him in danger. A walking legend.

[archiepedrola]

you didn't visited mount everest, you met someone pure hearted and genuine who can represent Everest to the world. Such a wholesome heartfelt video

This man only ever returns to post bangers

[heeeeeeeey]

The Sherpas are not just carriers, they are true world class athletes. They just dont make a fuss about it, like your local dentist who did it one time

[lucialapina]

This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. I am a huge fan of Mount Everest and I read almost every book about it. This was so beautiful and sad at the same time. The sherpa is a strong guy with the luck of being alive and having a wonderful family. ❤

I'm an American mountaineer. 20 yrs ago I've met Phanden in Nepal while he was still in amazing shape and I believe he had just returned from an Everest summit. He is quite the legend in Nepal, India and elsewhere!
