In this episode we celebrate PUJA DAY! The Puja is a ceremony every climber and sherpa does before beginning their ascent of Everest in order to in order to make contact with the Everest God Sagarmatha so they can ask it for permission to climb and pray for a safe passage. It's also every sherpa's only day off so turned into a huge party. I've celebrated a lot of foreign holidays in my travels but Puja Day just may be my favorite!

Nims, legend. Elite Exped, amazing. What a story so far. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what’s to come. This is amazing. Personal opinion, BEST trip donnie has taken so far… for what it’s worth…. I’ve said that ever single new episode he puts out… but damn. This is magical ❤️

Donnie this series absolutely rocks! Nims has been one of my role models and I love that you have brought us into this world at Everest and Elite Exped!
As a Nepalese, feel good and dare I say proud, because this whole series has been nothing but good PR. Thanks Wonton Don. And glad you enjoyed along the way which is never in doubt.

@@xDootify be sure to watch lots of realistic videos to see what it's truly like...especially look at the bodies along the way.... China now is requiring proof of climbing an 8,000 meter Mountain before allowing anyone to climb Everest from their side. The 2023 climbing season has seen 17 fatalities, some being very experienced climbers. The Sherpas are already quite acclimated to the altitude genetically. If it's something you choose to do, please prepare, don't listen to the exped companies that say anyone can do it...I wish you a safe experience if you go.

It’s truly astonishing the people Donnie meets and all the stories he is able to bring to his audience ❤ what an amazing episode!!
Bro Nims is a living legend, it's crazy that Won got to spend time with him and see how he works.

its actually unreal how good this series is. Ive always like the don, but this is some next level content. superb series
The background view during the Donnie-Nims interview is absolutely insane. It truly looks like a green screen and not real, but they're right there and that's their actual background. Crazy and amazing shot.
Wonton Don, best personality at barstool. They are very lucky to still have him
Nims just has that next level energy and positive attitude mixed with discipline that makes him an amazing person and leader. The Sherpa people are just next level...
Donnie, this series is probably your best one yet (I know I say this each time you do a travel series), but you and Michelangelo killed it with this one!

Thanks Max. Happy I could help even in the slightest .
This series has been my first visit to Everest Base Camp. Thanks Donnie. Thank you so much. I believe I am booking an expedition, to test my humbleness.
Just when you think Donnie can't find a new way of topping his arsenal of adventures, he not only does so but he does so in a one of of a kind, interesting, inspiring and boozey way. Nims, the Sherpas, Donnie, MA and Everest. What a video. If MA and Donnie don't summit Everest next, we riot!
The Don never disappoints. Years and years of the best content on Barstool.
As a guiness donkey who lives at the base of everest, i would like to say thank you for acknowledging my fellow people. I hope to trot up many steps in the future with many kegs of black gold. 🙏
"I think this is what makes Nepal special. There are lots of places around the world for trekking and climbing, but in Nepal, it's not just about climbing. Here, you will get to be involved and enjoy the culture, tradition, and people from this place. You will get to enjoy puja day. Here, it's never just about the nature, but it's about the mix of everything which you will always remember. So thank you, Don, for traveling to Nepal and showing us your wonderful experience. It was so great to watch."
I’m confident no one on this platform or any platform has captured this experience as well as you have. Bravo!

Hands down the best thing on TV. Everything about it, the music and the editing, the visuals and tenor, obviously the host, it's all so good. Thank you. I can't wait for the finale!
Damn I feel like this series about to end 😢 Donnie pls keep traveling and take us with you !!
I grew up with Harry Lundin. So sorry to hear about Lukas' passing. Wishing your family all the best. What a beautiful way to raise awareness and honor his memory - Alex
Epic mountain view, so majestic! The best EBC series, with the perfect amount of thrill, humour & cinematography. Doing it with Nims is even sweeter. Thank you Elite Exped!
I truly love how you embrace everyone and everything. Like you’re gonna be hit the trails of Central Park with those poles too.

Same 🤣 I’m running out of videos
I first watched your vids about ten years ago, as a wide-eyed teenager getting ready for my first trip to China. I've done plenty of travel since then, mostly around Asia, and you inspire me to dream bigger! Hope to see you celebrating Songkran in Thailand next year ;)
To see this successful guy Nims and see his expedition and then to hear he climbed his first mountain at 30 and now has this great business and following is really inspiring. We all may find our passion and excel in our field like Nims, and this gives me the courage to try. Once a holiday to climb Everest, now his hobby and business is climbing and the world knows him for it. An inspiring story
The adventure spirit that Donnie has is amazing and this adventure really stood out.
The Wonton Don, the absolute best.. your videos inspire me to go out and do as much cool shit as I possibly can, which is one of the best gifts you can give to someone.. can’t wait to see future adventures
The brothers climbing for their father is incredible stuff. As always, great content Donnie!🤟
What an epic journey, glad to be able to follow along.
This is a beautiful story. Nim seems like a cool guy. Thanks Wonton Don!
Donny, I recently found you, and you are the cream of the crop of national journalism. National Geographic should sign you for how good you are at capturing a country and relating that scene to us (as drunk men.).
This series has definitely been a motivational one for people to get out there and do something out of their comfort zone.
this series has been soo good
They way you make your videos is amazing , relax and down to earth
Love this series, keep up the great content Donnie
The Don made a masterpiece for us and I can’t wait to binge watch this entire series again.
Incredible series. Can't wait for the next one
If I could trade lives with anyone, Donnie is in the top 5. What a life. Thank you for sharing
This series is simply amazing !!!
This is absolutely such a good series, We got to see you at the top of this mountain!
I've determined that the humble man that Donnie is, he has a deal worked out with KZread to keep his view and subscriptions numbers displayed at one 5 % of the actual numbers. He doesn't want to put all of the other KZreadrs to shame, letting him know the real views! Keep up the great work, hope to share a termie with you and come out with some new merch, I need a new shirt.
