Great Service!
I’m very thankful to Everest Base Camp trekking tours for this golden opportunity. As I was already in the Everest Region and had little more days left in Nepal, I did 3 days and 4 nights Island Peak Climbing. On a very short notice Kedar managed everything very perfectly and the guides were extremely well trained. The Island peak climb was one of the unexpected adventures of life and ended up being the most memorable one. I recommend this company to everyone.
