The Everest three high passes trek would have been difficult and challenging if I had not chosen Everest Base Camp Trekking tours. But thanks to my friend who suggested this company. It was challenging and tough but worth the adventures and beautiful memories. My guide Lakpa handled me very nicely and I completed the trek successfully. Thank you everyone, I hope to meet you guys soon.
