Everest Base Camp Trek, 5 things you should know before going - How to prepare, where to stay & gear

Title:

Description:

I can't wait to share this with you! I literally went to Nepal last minute for the Everest Base Camp Trek and had no idea what I was doing, or what to expect. I didn't know where in Kathmandu to stay, where to buy gear or how to prepare.

I learned so much in my month in Nepal trekking through the Himalayas, like where to go shopping for gear, the prices of things, haggling skills, what the flight to Lukla is like and how to get hold of the right permit like the TIMs card.

In this video, I'll go over all of this, plus how to get a helicopter ride to Lukla, how to make sure you bring the right hiking gear with you, where to find Thamel, the hiking district of Kathmandu and a really good place to stay as well.
