I have done EBC trek. This travel operator is one of the best in Nepal. They provided excellent service to me. Guide Ram guided me very well. The weather was perfect; I got a chance to see Everest and the sunset view was mindblowing. Highly recommended company for trekking in Nepal.
10 Days Annapurna base Camp Trek Ram Barakoti, the manager, has been incredibly communicative since our first contact via email in January 2023 when I initially expressed interest in doing the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek. Two weeks before my departure, he held an online briefing and provided me with all the necessary information and details about the trek. His words of motivation, "The keys are happiness and worry-free," inspired me. However, when I arrived in Kathmandu and was ready to fly to Lukla, I encountered a setback as there were no flights due to unfavorable weather conditions. Ram then offered me the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek as an alternative. After hearing his explanation about what I could expect during the trek, I agreed. Once again, he uplifted my spirits by reminding me that "It's what it is, and it's still an adventure." Although trekking in June is not the ideal time due to the rainy season, I thoroughly enjoyed the trek and the rain itself. The breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences I encountered along the way were truly remarkable. Some of the highlights included the view from the lodge in Tadapani, the picturesque bridges, the challenging stairs, the majestic Machchhapuchhre Mountain, the trek between Machapuchare Base Camp (MBC) and ABC, and, of course, the ABC itself. Raju Mainali, my guide, took excellent care of me from the moment I arrived in Kathmandu. He is not only a fun and lively person but also very knowledgeable. From him, I learned some Nepali words and gained insights into the local culture. One of my favorite words he taught me was "Jum Jum," which means "let's go." Together with the porter, Hari, they were incredibly patient, adapting to my pace and assisting me in dealing with leeches during the trek. During meal times, we shared not only food but also stories, creating a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. Thanks to Raju and Hari, I always felt safe and never felt lonely, despite traveling solo. I knew I was in good hands. This is a highly reliable trekking company, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services. Personally, I plan to return to Nepal and utilize their services again to fulfill my dream of completing the Everest Base Camp trek.
This trip was the best thing I have ever done, had a bit of everything from great scenery to adventure. The people of Nepal and their culture are marvelous, along with the porters and support crew. A great adventure in a great place with a well organised company and great staff. Loved every minute of it.
