Solo Hiking over 200 km on the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Trek in Nepal

Sit back, relax and enjoy this silent (no vlog style) hiking video of my journey to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo via the snow-covered Chola Pass. Starting on 27 February 2020, this trek took 16 days and covered a distance of 210 km (130 Miles). I completed the trek without any guide or porter, carrying a backpack weighing about 13kg (28 pounds).

I hope the video gives you a good sense of what the trek is like but if you have any questions regarding the itinerary, the gear I used, the weather, the cost or anything else, please leave a comment or send me a message.

The distance indicated in the video is how much I walked on those days, which is sometimes a bit more than the actual distance between places.
It also includes the distance of walking back to get my camera every time :-)
