In our first-ever podcast episode, we sit down with Rose Mary Dean and Chethan Prakash, two incredible trekkers who recently scaled the Everest Base Camp—one of the most iconic trekking routes in the Himalayas. Located at 5,364 meters (or 17,598 feet, if you like bigger numbers for dramatic effect), this trek is a dream for many and a test of endurance, mental strength, and sheer determination.

This informal and engaging conversation took place as a live talk show at Courtyard Koota on July 9, 2023, and we’ve captured the essence of it in this podcast episode. What does it take to conquer one of the most challenging treks in the world? What were the highs (besides the obvious altitude) and lows of their journey? From preparation to breathtaking views, unexpected hurdles, and moments of pure exhilaration, Rose and Chethan share their experiences firsthand.

Hosting this conversation was Sandeep Nanu—brand expert, bird photographer, snake rescuer, and aspiring stand-up comic (because life is better with some humor).

If you’ve ever dreamed of trekking to Everest Base Camp or just want to hear what it’s like to push yourself to new limits, this episode is for you. Tune in, listen to their stories, and maybe start planning your next big adventure!
