..you can see
..local porter
..will carry more than 100 kg
..but who work
..who works with the tourist
..Not allowed
..to carry more than 25 kg
..usually a normal porter occurs
..the fee for trips
1500 to 2000
Well, let's say, 1500
This is $15
dollars a day
$15 a day, oh
When you reach Lukla
You just organize that day too, right?
But most of the porters
They don't go from Kathmandu
No, no, they didn't
They make multiple trips in a row
Oh
They have a lokla base
They do Lukla to Lukla
every trip
Gratuities and benefits are very mandatory
Tourists give them in the end
So they get tips too
Absolutely no hints here Additional Tips
Sometimes they get advice like more than
$200, $300, $400 too
From our company Mandatory advice
This is a fair salary
ok this is very good
This is good news
and then
No bathrooms for 12 days
no shower
In the porter's house, no
Only one shirt, one fleece and one jacket
Only one at the top
It will be smelly
Porter does not drink Coca-Cola
What do you do next?
why not?
yes they do
they do but
Americans need Coca-Cola
Taking
500 rupees per Coca-Cola
Wow, this is expensive
I don't drink Coke - that's why they don't
Porter drinks water
I'm Johnny I only drink water
This is the last coke
Want to drink plain water
Or water with purification tablets?
-What do you like? -I do not know
What do porters drink?

They can drink it straight from the tap
Hey, I'm singing I do it
-you do that? -Oh
the curse
-Draw it -You know that file
Most of the Nepalese
We'll drink straight away
from the tap
We'll go from the tap
- If you get sick, what will you do?
Then I will
keep progressing
we'll be fine
-Yes? Just vegetables
It's the first meal here
I'm already suffering
I struggle
It's not even hot when I'm crying
I don't really know how to take it
You have to
crush it together
And you eat with your right hand because
Wipe your ass with your left hand
So don't eat with your left hand
you shake hands
with your right hand
not your left
It's an insult
It will be a long month
Too long a month
Fine
Hey, you
Is there a shortcut?
There is a shortcut here
Is there another shortcut?
Yes, there is an acronym

They say climb the Sherpas but
Climbing Sherpas are porters
Sherpas are porters on Everest

Porter's life is very difficult
because
The salary is too small
You can't eat enough
Only 1500 rupees per day
So you can't eat enough food
Then what to do?
Advice comes on the last day
If they don't give advice, we work for free
...Yes
I don't sleep here
See that little there?
This is where I sleep
It's always hard for porters to find a place to sleep
لمنم حمالون
They are treated differently by others
It used to be so much worse
Because in the beginning
They won't even give us a cup of tea
hostels and other places
They were telling the porters
Go! Go! Go
go out
I'm Gunna I'm going to ride this
I will hit you
Then you are dead
How many kilos do you have?
- That's 100 kilos - 100?
In 5 days, well do it
Try it now
..No no
..Later
else
Our last day
why not?
Because I'm going to die
Why did you die?
...because
ولاذا
Can't carry your load?
You won't die, you're huge
I am old but not Nepalese
I'm not strong
For food for 11 days
We spend $90 to $100
So what then?
$13 for an 11-day trip
That's $143
So we only save $43
And all this goes to the house and farming
So it is a lot of work
How much money will you ask?
How much do you tip?
I will not demand
لماذا؟
It's disrespectful
They will give it to us
I won't ask for it
Just can we ask?
Only we can ask
They will give it to us
They will not give it to the whites
Maybe they won't
But they will give it to us
Advice is essential to us
Some give $20, others $5 , and some $10
May give generous $ 200
But only another 500 rupees
That would be like
I get nothing
Here?
Put your bag there
We sleep here
Here?
...Wonderful
There will be a lot of people
Okay
The toilet is outside
the toilet?
I'm not going to shit
I will catch it
Every year, we work about 20 sets
In the seasons of October and spring
We rest two or three days, then work again

Only $500 or $400
In 5 months? -Yes
And in the other months?
In other months
We have to do more
as farmers
Always as farmers
...This
I will bring these to the base camp
And then I will come back
..let it go
Today is your day off, isn't it?
..you are crazy
for money
Too much money because this will hurt
agree on
...Pleasure
We can have porters
A little hanging out with friends
And chatting in bed
We can have a little fun

We can be happy, like porters
We'll win, we'll win

I won't lie, I feel terrible
My head is really confused
And I do not know why?
But we'll act like we're feeling great
But today's jonah is bad
Porter doesn't want to be a porter forever
So what does he want?
He also wants to improve his life
He also has ambitions
He also struggles a lot
If customers get sick
Then Porter has to carry it
But porters are human too
Carrying bags, rest and sleep is not all we do
I love my baby
to send it to school
to become a doctor
Late morning
...let it go
We are very poor
In Nepal, when it's cold we eat this
...in Nepal
When it's cold
Do you eat ketchup?
