ASK FOR SUDIP - AMAZING GUIDE AND AN AMAZING TREK The Everest Base Camp Trek was my first multi-day trek, and my first time in negative temperatures. But with Sudip and my local tour operator everything went so smoothly that it's hard telling anyone at home that it was that difficult. I went on this trek solo but Sudip made sure I had someone to chat to on the walk, as well as my own time at the tea houses with other trekkers on the path. He introduced me to parts of his culture and made me feel comfortable the entire trek - despite the cold temperatures. I have already recommended Sudip and his company to colleagues of mine from work and I HIGHLY recommend that you book with them now. Not only is the trek reasonably priced against the competition - you can be sure that Sudip and his team will go above and beyond what they promise to ensure you have an amazing, tailored trekking experience.
We just returned to Kathmandu from the Everest Region, trekking to Everest Base Camp followed by summitting Island Peak. We saw so many incredible sights and were able to successfully summit Island Peak. It was the trip of a lifetime and we are very grateful that there were no issues or problems throughout the trip. All we had to worry about was putting one foot in front of the other, everything else was taken care of by the local operator.
Everest Basecamp/Gokyo Trek We booked an Everest/Gokyo Lake trek with this tour operator and could not have been more pleased. All communication with Chris and Khum, the owners of the tour company, were very easy through email and every question we had was answered promptly. Even during our trek, when we needed assistance, Chris was always there for us. We ran into issues with our flight to Lukla (airport had been closed for days) and we inquired if there was any chance to hire a helicopter to fly us to Lukla, so we could start our trek. Within two hours we were on board a helicopter and on our way (of course we paid for this flight out of our own pockets). Trekking in the Himalayas went off without a hitch and we had a wonderful time. Before and after our trek, the tour company organized city tours of Kathmandu for us. We always had very knowledgeable guides who educated us in Nepalese culture and religion (we highly recommend Shankar Bhattarai as your city guide, you can email him at expertnepaltourguide@gmail.com). Chris even met us for breakfast a couple of times at our hotel in Kathmandu, just to say hello. We highly recommend this tour company for all your Himalaya adventures.
