It was a lovely experience trekking to EBC. There were so many difficult trials but the views were amazing. Had some minor problems during the trek but the guide Nima took a great care of me and I reached the base camp.

The ever smiling Sherpa people won my heart. I just can’t imagine living to a place where there is no easy access to anything. But the people there were very friendly and seemed to be always happy helping each other. Their lifestyle was completely different than the lifestyles I have seen. The trials were tough but had awesome views. It is really an amazing trekking destination of the world.

We booked the trip with Everest Base Camp Trekking Tours and they showed a very warm hospitality soon after we landed at TIA. Sujan was there to pick up at airport and he took us to the hotel where we met with Kedar and we were already impressed with him. The guide Deepak was very talented and professional and the services were always great. I and my son had a great time trekking to EBC with Deepak. I can highly recommend this company.
