we enjoyed it and we will never forget our guide Brayen (yes yes I will ask)😄😄😄👍👍👍 - After arriving in Kathmandu, my son and I received all the services. The journey to EBC was a bit complicated first day because all flights to Lukla were cancelled but everything was solved to our satisfaction and we flew by helicopter. We enjoyed the whole trek and managed it successfully. Sometimes we had to deal with situations that the travel agency was not responsible for, but together we always found a solution to our satisfaction. I really appreciate flexibility and private access. We will definitely return to Nepal. Thanks for everything.

EBC + Cho La Pass + Gokyo Ri + Renjo La Pass - Had an awesome time with our guide Saroj, spent 15 days trekking up to Everest Base Camp, Cho La Pass, and Renjo La Pass. We were taken care of from the moment we landed in Kathmandu all the way to our departure. The company is very accomodating and flexible to your needs. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a stress free experience.

Everest Base Camp Trekking with breathtaking scenery in the midst of epic mountains - It was our first time in Nepal and at EBC. Mr Tej organised the trekking according to our wishes. The porter was great, but overall we were not completely satisfied with the guide, who had little knowledge of the flora and fauna and the Himalayan mountains. For us, it was an amazing experience overall. We are planning to take the NATT ACT in autumn. Communication with Mr Tej is very good and he keeps his promises. We were extremely lucky that the flights from Kathmandu to Lukla and back took place as planned.

Great guide, good experience - Amar (our guide) was the best: great English, a positive, can-do spirit, got us out of a few administrative pickles too when the weather turned in Lukla and all the planes were grounded. No issue to big or impossible to solve. Trek itself was beautiful, well paced. The lodges are all quite basic particularly towards the top so best not to expect too much there (this is not the fault of the agency but just a fact of what trekking is like in Nepal)

Everest Base Camp review! - One of the best experiences of my life! From start to finish, the trekking agency was incredibly professional and helpful. The exceptional arrangements and assistance from Tej and Kumar, our phenomenal guide, made the journey smooth and enjoyable. We were able to fully appreciate the majestic view of Sagarmatha and her surrounding peaks in the best possible way. The porters were fantastic, and the comfort and coziness provided in the trip were amazing. There were no problems even for elderly people (60+) with their arrangements. Tej ji went above and beyond to ensure our safety, and his effort to make our relationship more than just a business deal will be cherished forever. The pricing is fair, making it an excellent choice. Highly recommend this agency for anyone looking for an unforgettable trekking experience!
