I have just completed a 5 day Annapurna sanctuary trek with my wife and friend. We had a porter who was accredited as a guide as well - he cost $25 a day although I am sure we could have found one cheaper. He was brilliant and took very good care of us, never intrusive and indeed walked most of the time on his own ahead of us making sure he waited for us at any parts of the trek where there might be options on the path. At each village he recommended tea-houses to stay in but we always had the final say after my partners checked out the alternatives. Most of all we were very happy to be able to give someone employment for 5 days. Thanks for another great video that brought back great memeories of a week ago !!! Looking forward to the next one !!

I wonder if they'll truly implement the 'mandatory guide' rule this time; I am saying it because I have heard about it several times before and it never went beyond the 'rumor'/plan stage. Personally, it will deter me from going back to Nepal. Why? I hike solo. I do it all over the world. I did in Nepal previously. This is how I like it. It is less a matter of budget for me (also budget also matters); for me it is mostly a matter of style. It will push Nepal lower in my "wish list"/"priority list" if they do enforce this rule. I walk "freely". no pre-defined itinerary; often - no pre-defined route too. It is basic to my hiking. I hike my own hike. Always. As for "providing work to locals" - well, I definitely "spread" my money around, just by being there. By sleeping and eating in the villages; by shopping in the stores; by paying various permits; by paying for transportation; by donating in schools, hospitals, temples; by paying locals to guide me - when I do want to be guided; by going to different "attractions". I don't like the idea of being "forced" to "provide work" to someone - in a single specific way.

Great video, loved seeing the ABC trek again! Also, thank you for addressing the changes coming up. It's very important for both sides. For one, there are definitely environmental changes that are occurring to the land and glaciers, not to mention that tourism brings additional jobs to certain areas of the country. But Fiona and I went to Nepal because we could afford it, were on a tight budget, but wanted to trek in the Himalayas. Getting a guide and/or porter would have added costs that might have made us cut back in other areas or even shortened our trip. It's a tough conversation either way, but I'm looking for to hearing about more developments with regard to this topic. :)

Carol & Chris and everyone reading this namaste or hola 👋🏻. I'm throwing in my 2 cents worth meaning my opinion on the change. I'm an American 🇺🇸 living in Colombia 🇨🇴 and making Colombian 🇨🇴 pesos, not US bucks 💰 so that change has already made me change my mind about doing a trek in Nepal 🇳🇵 in the foreseeable future. Why? Because I make around 1,000 dollars a month and part of that salary is tied up in financial obligations so I'll have a shoestring (tight) budget when I arrive in Nepal in 2024. I understand how important it is to create jobs for Nepali people and good for them. I'll have to wait until I have a better financial situation to do the Nepal treks with a paid guide. Many people around the world 🌍 who make a low salary per month are in my situation so we'll have to keep our money 💰 tight. Thanks 🙏🏻 for the information guys. Nepal is amazing and I look forward to exploring what I can on my shoestring budget in 2024.

That’s a shame about the new rules. They already talked about it a decade ago when I was doing ABC. I was a solo hiker and that was the best part of the hike. I’d never do it if I had to join a group or pay the guide just for myself. Nepalese are lovely, welcoming people so I’d not want to see them being badly economically hit by this rule. And as always it’s those who are already strangling like the people in the villages who will feel the negative consequences of it, not the government. Anyway, glad you made it just in time. Enjoy.

So many people that wont come now and won't be spending money throughout the country because of this.

The last part will blow you away! video is coming on Saturday, it is a whole other level at the camps. Before doing the treks we did a lot of working out at the gym and things like cardio. Our calves got really sore on the hike because of the steps so i think its a good idea to do calf workout like calf raises or go somewhere where you can practice walking up steps to get the muscles more conditioned. One thing that we would have done is to walk around a bit with a 10-15 kilo backpack to get our shoulders and traps used to it more. On the first few days our trap muscles and shoulders were really sore because we were not used to walking for hours with that kind of weight. For us the hard part mentally was the constant freezing weather, but that is because we went in March. The main peak seasons like April/May won't be as cold as what we faced.

Did the Annapurna trek when I was 19 in 1993. Had a guide that carried some of my stuff. Felt ripped off at the end as I often had to wait for him and I didn´t really get my belly fed proper though meals were supposed to be included in the price. Also I didn´t need more than I could carry anyway (and I didnt get refunded for the 4 extra days I paid for as the trek only lasted 11 when I had paid for 15). It was just that I thought it was somehow necessary to have the carrier/guide. Would have been better off without all in all. There was no KZitem back then to figure things out beforehand. If at least the food had been ample I´d probably not feel too bad about it.

Oh I’m feeling the pain! Carol was very quiet and keeping herself to herself. I have a bit of mix feeling about the guide situation! I’m all for helping and giving back to the locals but the appeal is the freedom not having someone you don’t know at every moment during this journey for me I would feel a lot more self conscious. As you do know I really would love to do this but I also know I would have to do it at much slower paste with days off in between and the cost of having someone else to pay for means I may push myself too much or not do as much as I could do at slower paste just because of the cost! Also part of the fun is to plan it! I really enjoy planning trips books vlogs documentaries I really thrive on this and looking forward to my reward “the trip and travel journey tailored to my needs and preferences” I understand some people would rather let someone organise it all also… I will be interested to see what happens how this plans out! Thank you again for all these details! One thing … is there plug for electricity in the rooms you sleep 💤 in? I have to say sleeping in the cold is what worries me the most!

Yes we have mixed feelings too, we think overall it will just reduce tourism since many people simply don't want a guide. As you mentioned the idea of having a stranger with us for 12 days for the entire day is not so appealing. We see some people really hit it off with their guides and are friends but many others just looked like strangers walking besides each other for days. We also found out that the lodges provide free food and free place to stay for the guides so its actually worse for them, will be more mouths they have to feed for free. I imagine its really going to impact the longer trails and the people that live on those trails that take weeks to complete as its less likely people will pay someone for 2/3 weeks, people will probably end up having to do shorter treks. Hopefully we are wrong and it helps the Nepalis more overall somehow. Some places have plugs in the rooms, other places don't, depends really. We went in March which is still pretty damn cold so April/May will be quite a bit hotter.

So if like are doing you do it all yourselves then the porters miss out so it’s a two edged sword .Do you not have a 4 seasons sleeping bag ? You always mention the rooms are cold.Your lucky you have showers 30 years ago they were non existent .

Yeah two edged sword as you mentioned, hopefully it doesn't reduce tourism. We actually saw more porters on the trail than hikers, I think thats because they are having to constantly take supplies up and down to the guesthouses. Since we didn't have a guide we actually traveled at more of a relaxed pace compared to all the tours that we saw, so we spent more time on the trail and more nights at guesthouse, paying for food e.t.c. So the porters and guides didn't benefit from us but the lodges and restaurants did. We had a sleeping bag for -10 celsius, in the bed it was fine, the problem was whenever you wanted to do anything else around the room or outside lol. Hot showers were definitely a benefit, I don't think they have them at the base camps but not too sure

Thank you for a wonderful series so far, and for such beautiful relaxing videos! I think you've convinced us we need to do this trek. It's fairly bleak throughout (is the weather like that for most of the trekking season?), but incredibly interesting with so many diverse, and unique ecosystems. I whole-heartedly support the government's thoughts about creating new jobs by requiring guides, but personally we do our nature exploration trips to be alone in nature, and often find that even the most sincere and authentic guide programs succumb to the more capitalistic influences that tend to ruin these great places for everyone.

I think April/May & October/November are the main seasons. If we were to do it again we would have come a bit later for it to be a bit warmer and less brutally cold at night. However you are going to see in the next video how awesome everything looked in the snow, doesn't even look real. Cant wait for people to see the next video on saturday!

Hey there. You spoke briefly about the new rules about guides for trekking in Nepal and said it wasn’t mandatory for Everest. I have the 3 passes trek planned for October 2023 which is in the Everest region. Do I need a guide? Where can I find this information? Everything I’ve read about the new guide rules doesn’t mention anything about Everest. Thank you.

Not too sure unfortunately, I read the everest region has its own rules so in theory that should apply to 3 passes if it is in the same region
