Everest Base Camp Trek

This was my 5th trek in the Himalayas and my 2nd to EBC. While age and more knee pain made the trek more challenging than years ago, I made it to Base Camp and enjoyed the experience. World Expeditions really have got the balance right. The tents and campsites are far better than most of the lodges and we were so well looked after by our guide Anand and his team.

Wonderfully organised throughout. Unfortunately I became ill towards the end of the trek, but the team handled everything professionally and efficiently. It was reassuring to see that they had well-established procedures in place to deal with almost any eventuality.

If the Everest Base Camp is on your bucket list, or you're just looking for the next adventure, I can't recommend World Expeditions and their amazing Team high enough. Everyone in our tour made it to the EBC without any issues. Our Main Guide, Roy, made sure we were OK, informed us each evening what was coming up the next day and could bust a guitar out of nowhere and entertain us. Look, Anil and Myla also kept the pace steady for 14 days of trekking as well as dishing up great meals and bring us black tea and washing water each morning. The amazing Team of Porters got our kit to the days final destination and always with a smile. If you have one shot at the EBC and you want to go with a company that genuinely looks after their people, the locals and the environment, good news, you found them!

The EBC trip was an amazing life changing experience. From the word go we were completely looked after by our guide, Roy, who was always at hand to answer any questions we may have had. He would always go above and beyond to facilitate anything we needed. In addition to Roy, the support team of Sherpas and staff team provided plentiful home grown food and ensured that we were always safe in both ascent and descent. It is difficult to put into words the actions of all the staff in their quest to ensure that we had the ultimate experience. I would not hesitate to recommend all the crew to future trekkers.

I have just completed the World Expeditions, Everest Base Camp trek as of a few days ago. The 17 day experience was perfectly planned from start to finish and I cannot fault it. Going into this trek my main worries were getting sick, and or, not making it to base camp. Out of our group of 15, ages from 20-65, every single person made it to and from base camp, and not one person got a stomach bug or sickness!! The team, led by our incredible group leader Roy, took so much care and thought into everything they did for us. Our daily three beautiful meals were prepared with the utmost hygiene and care each and every day. The food was amazing, with so many different components and variety to each meal, we were left very fuelled and ready to trek every time. The tenting accommodation was one of my favourite aspects, it was incredible to be woken up every morning by a cup of tea, surrounded by the Himalayas. The sleeping bags and liners provided were enough to feel toasty and warm within the tents, even the nights that it snowed. The eco camp dining rooms were cosy and warm, with wifi and charging spaces, and the toilets were western style and clean at camp. The duration of the trip was perfect, it gave us all enough time to acclimatise appropriately, and explore the beautiful Himalayas on our way to base camp! I just want to say a big thanks to the team that safely got us to and from Everest base camp, it was truly more amazing than I could have ever imagined!! To Roy our amazing leader, to Mailyia, Anil, and Lok our incredible Sherpas, to our brilliant cooks, Dawa, Lakpa and Suresh, and to our super human porters, Jetha, Birbkha, Raj, Jumak, Ganga, Om and Ujal, thank you so, so much!

An incredible adventure, supported by World Expedition's professional team from initial contact and bookings to finishing our trip in Kathmandu. The leadership of our guide Roy and dedication of his wonderful team made our Everest Base Camp trek a truly memorable experience. From sharing their knowledge and love of the mountains and their communities, to ensuring we were well nourished and healthy, the team encouraged us every step of the way. The Eco-Comfort Camps were in beautiful locations, with gardens at Ghat and Monjo ensuring fresh vegetables at every meal. Seeing Mt Everest for the first time on my birthday was made even more special by the team presenting me with a birthday cake. Thank you Roy, Mailyia, Lok, Anil, kitchen staff Dawa, Lakpa, Suresh and all our porters - two weeks after arriving home, I'm still on a natural high and thinking of Nepal. I recommend World Expeditions to anyone considering trekking to EBC.
