Remarkable Journey

 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.

Amazing Experience!

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.

Tougher the trials better the memories!

 I did the Everest Base Camp trek with Everest Base Camp Trekking tours and it was the most wonderful experience with them. The trials were really tough but the views were worth the trials and extremely mesmerizing. Moreover, the guide Phurba was an amazing person and always fun to be around. The services were great indeed. Overall I had the best moment of lifetime and I highly suggest this company.

Great time and adventure!

I had a great time with Everest Trekking and Tours on my trek to the Everest Base Camp. They are great guys, extremely hardworking, very conscious about the safety and comfort of the customers and posses great management skills. I’m very much satisfied with their service and would highly recommend this company.

Remarkable Journey

 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.
