NEPAL - The Best 5 Days of My Life / Solo Trekking Mardi Himal / Pokhara Hiking Tour 2023
In March 2023 I travelled to Pokhara and solo hiked a 5-day Mardi Himal trek in Himalayas. This was my first trekking experience in Nepal.
This is an ambient hiking tour video with minimum dialog.
I did it alone and it was freezing!

We Nepalese are very thankful to you for promoting our country. I think you must do Langthang Trek next which is done by Harald Baldr. You have completed the most popular trek 👏. This video is highly recommended and must go across the world. Have a good day ahead Mickey.
OMG, just thinking about how much work you put into this production Mickey! You ended up climbing that mountain almost twice. Climb to spot, set up camera, go back down, start the walk through the shot, go back to get camera, rinse and repeat!!! So much work for this masterpiece! Congratulations!

I'll jump in tomorrow (as is near-midnight here now in the Pacific NW USA), as I have to ask myself.. "How can I not support you with turning out this fine quality vlogging, brother?" Sharing your life as you are, and in such fine way. That was outstanding; you are exceptional at what you do , my friend. Please always.. be safe; I wish you good health, happiness, and safety always along your journeys! Khap khun ma krap... sawadee krap!

As I am from Nepal, one thing I must admit is that Mickey knows the way how to eat dhal-bhat. I see many foreigners do not know how and what to mix while eating dhal bhat.
Mickey you are maybe turning in to one of the the best travel documentary makers of these times if you are not already.And that all alone.Respect! we been watching you for years now.Thank you so much! Richard and Nicole from Singapore
just watched this today. felt like a meditation, sat still, didnt move, just breathed … this goes very very deep. thank you🙏
Love your videos.. your cinematography is at the next level 🤩🤩 the effort you put to show the beauty of the Himalayas justifies it. Hope to see more videos from Nepal 🇳🇵
Thank you for helping me experience hiking in beautiful Nepal vicariously through your amazing production!!!! Your incredible solo journey. Your splendid cinematography and your excellent portrayal of the atmosphere ! Your friendship with the lovely dogs. Your beautiful music! Your incredible drone view! Your enjoyment eating the delicious steaming hot Nepali Dhal Bhat! Last but not least love your authenticity.

I have been there few months ago. Those pathways, those lodges, those jungles, and those incredibly beautiful mountains are very very close to my heart ❤️. I had the best time of my life. Hope you had a great time too.
I stayed at the same place in High camp. The people maintaining that place were nice. Met similar dog during the route maybe he is the same. He loves hanging out with the trekkers
I can feel how hard you have to go through putting camera behind and ho back and get it again and again. You have put so much effort in this video. I just discovered your channel and I am addicted now.
The Himalayas of Nepal always bless you. Nepal is heaven ❤
Love the tranquil atmosphere up in the mountains. And I love Nepali dogs coz they're so smart and loyal😊I met one while trekking up to Peace Stupa in Pokhara and wanted to bring him back to Thailand so much
Mickey. This by far was your best video. Thailand was great since my wife is Thai. But this is next level. What you personally went through to make this is amazing. Keep strong and keep going.

Sometimes silence is the best way to express yourself. You didnt speak much but conveyed alot of emotions throughout the trek. Thank you for such an amazing video.
That was an incredible accomplishment filming all that yourself. Every time you set the camera down on the path to capture your hike I imagined the added effort to set up, video and then take down the camera. Essentially you did some parts of the trail 3 times to capture one shot in frigid weather. And then editing it all. Amazing!

Wow! Congrats on reaching the top! The views were stunning. It looks so cold and snowy at the top. The dog that followed you was so precious. Powerful music and mountains. It is impressive that there are places to stop along the way to warm up and eat. What a journey!! Thanks so much for all that you do and bringing this masterpiece to us that have never been.

Thanks a lot, it was hard but enjoyable, and I can only hope it won’t be the first and the last episode made in this style!
I also have done the trek last year in oct. Being native to this country I myself was struggling to do the trek but kudos to you man. I must say you have done this expedition twice given that capturing footages, placing cameras going back and forth for the sake of the video, flying drones at the same time being extremely cautious of the dangerous path while walking…siuuuuu put hell lot of effort sir. Salute. 🫡 While returning back, I was thinking I will never come back to Himalayas due to those whole aches but As soon as I have arrived home, I had already thinking to go back. I think that is the magic of the Himalayas. You forget the hardships you only remember the serene memories. While coming down people look your eyes asking how was it and broadening our shoulders we reply “worth all this” with our eyes without speaking a word.🙂 Pushing your body to its limit..even our body gives up and say I can’t..from now on your courage and determination will drag me. And we can’t give up amidst so somehow we conquer. That’s how memorable memories build I guess.
You are very welcome to our beautiful country Nepal 🇳🇵🙏😍 you can visit our country Nepal with all your heart.❤🙏🙏
