Everest Base Camp | Leila & Jason | Nepal, October 2026

In October 2026 we walked to Everest Base Camp with Intrepid, led by the wonderful Phurba Sherpa. Sixteen of us set out from Lukla and all sixteen made it to Base Camp. This is our trip, from the beautiful chaos of Kathmandu to sunrise over Everest from Kala Patthar. Thank you to Phurba, our guides and porters, and the best trekking group we could have asked for. 0:00 Intro 0:31 Brisbane to Kathmandu 1:27 Kathmandu 2:38 Getting to Lukla 3:32 The trail to Namche Bazaar 5:37 Acclimatisation day and our first sight of Everest 6:43 Phortse 8:31 Dingboche 9:38 Snow day and Lobuche 10:52 Everest Base Camp 12:14 Kala Patthar at sunrise 13:28 The walk out 14:49 Back in Kathmandu Edited by Claude.
