Amazing EBC Trek

13-Oct-2019

Excellent EBC trip, very well planned. It seemed well worth going early in the season to avoid the crowds. The trade-off of course is that it's quite cold, including inside the teahouses. In general, the accommodations and food were of better quality than we expected. Suggest Remember – The better prepared – the more enjoyable your trek!

Unmatched Luxury and Comfort on the Everest Base Camp Trail

24-Oct-2023

I had the privilege of experiencing the most amazing hike ever. The scenery along the trail was simply breathtaking, but it was the latter part of the journey that truly took my breath away. The high peaks that surrounded me were like majestic giants, standing tall and proud against the vast sky. It was a sight that will forever be etched in my memory. During this incredible trek, I was fortunate to have Dawa Sherpa as my guide. Not only was he great company, but his extensive knowledge of the mountains added an extra layer of excitement to my adventure. He shared fascinating stories and insights about the region, making each step of the journey even more meaningful. One of the highlights of the trek was the acclimatization period, where Sanjay taught me a card game. It was a wonderful way to pass the time and bond with my guide. As we played, I couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie and friendship that added to the overall experience. I must also commend the organizers of this trek for their impeccable planning and organization. Every aspect of the journey was well thought out and executed. One of the standout moments was the heli ride, which provided a bird's-eye view of the magnificent landscape below. It was an exhilarating experience that added a touch of adventure to the already extraordinary trek. Overall, this trek was nothing short of exceptional. The stunning scenery, the knowledgeable guide, the card game during acclimatization, and the unforgettable heli ride all contributed to an unforgettable journey. I am grateful for the opportunity to have embarked on such an incredible adventure.
