In reply to brittanychenelle. Machu Picchu is super fun! It was the first "trek" that I have done and really opened me up to a different type of travel. Thanks for checking out DOTG and the kind words Brittany.

I like to trek to explore the beautiful nature. But never get chance to trek Everest. Your pictures and experience showcasing each and every moment how lovely the trek was.

I could never see myself hiking anywhere near Everest so this was nice. The most I’ve done was Machu Picchu. The photos are stunning and the video is helpful.

Thanks for the kind words. I did the Machame Route on Kili and found it physically tougher than the standard EBC route. We opted to take on the 3 High Pass route to get to EBC – which was physically tougher than Kili. If you summited Kili and didn’t have any issues with the altitude, then you will be just fine on the standard EBC trek route. If you want a tougher trek – take the 3 Pass route. 🙂

Annapurna is on my list as well. Can’t wait to get back to Nepal. The blankets were actually in some of the luxe tea houses that we stayed in. Check out the Yeti Mountain Homes. Didn’t have them every stop along the way, but man – they sure as heck made a difference during our 15 day trek.

Oh my God I did the Annapurna Basecamp trek this year (winter) and I am really jealous that you had electric blankets! Did you carry them yourself or were they available in the tea houses?
I like your blog post a lot, I am curious how your trek went on an will read further! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely superb Dom…. Hiking to the Everest base camp is on my To Do list ever since we hiked Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. based on your hiking experience how difficult would u rate this hike on a scale of 1-10..

In reply to lexieanimetravel. It's for sure something that you should be checking out. It's a lot easier than you think and an experience you will never forget. If you don't want one of the tougher trails, take the Everest Panorama Trek. This gets you the views without having to get all the way to Base Camp.
