All-time Favorite

08-Oct-2019

I had done many treks all over the world but among all Everest base camp trek is one of my all-time favorite trips. Trekking to Everest is an experience I will never forget. Trek was very great and I would love to trek again to Nepal with Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team in near future. I loved being able to walk all day and just breathe in the mountains. One of the real highlights of the trek for myself was being able to and connect with the leaders, local and mountain and nature, it was really cool to be able to talk to them about life in Nepal. DalBhat was great and is the best food to have though out the trek. I definitely loved it.
