ABOUT THIS PODCAST:
After days in the Himalayas, it’s time to return to Kathmandu—starting with a wild journey through Lukla Airport. Known as the world’s most dangerous airport, Lukla lives up to the chaos with no signs, no gates, and zero order. I share a final tipping ceremony to honor my incredible guide, a vital part of the Everest Base Camp trek. Once back in the city, Kathmandu’s noise and color hit like a tidal wave after the quiet of the mountains. From a well-earned hot meal to clean clothes and a cozy café break, this day is all about re-entry. Whether you're planning your own trek or just curious about what happens after base camp, this is the Everest return experience in full.

ABOUT THIS Podcast:
After ten unforgettable days trekking through the Himalayas, it’s time to make the final push back to Lukla. Day 10 brings everything full circle — stunning secret viewpoints of Mount Everest, the iconic Hillary Bridge, chaotic animal crossings, and unexpected moments with veteran trekkers. The descent isn't easy; dusty trails, brutal downhills, and crowded bridges test my legs and patience. But the perfect weather and the emotional final views of Everest make every step worth it. We finish strong with a run to the trail’s end, celebrating the accomplishment in colorful Lukla. Along the way, I visit a hidden porterhouse and experience the powerful tipping ceremony that gives back to the incredible people who made this journey possible. This is the real Everest Base Camp experience — raw, rewarding, and unforgettable.
