The 14 Days trek to EBC was amazing. The company and the guide Deepak took a great care of me and was very helpful throughout my whole trek by his support I successfully completed the trek. The services were beyond my expectation and accommodations were very comfortable even at such altitude. The views were outstanding, people were very friendly and this is one of the most do trek in your lifetime and I highly suggest this company.
It was a great pleasure to travel with such wonderful people around. I trekked with my 7 other friends. The routes were difficult and adventurous and we also faced some minor problems of altitude sickness. The team took a very good care of us. We were always informed to be prepared for our next move with necessary elements. The guides were great and if it was not them we would never have finished the trek success fully.
