Trekking in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay What an experience! After a delayed start due to weather conditions we finally landed at Lukla for the beginning of an awe inspiring trek in the Himalayas. A team of 15 meandered across the Dudh Kosi river to reach Namche and then North eastwards steeply through forests to above the tree line reaching Thangboche. From there we headed to Dingboche, Loboche, Gorak Shep and our ultimate goal Everest Base Camp.
The scenery was excellent from walking through fertile farming settlements, through forest, high altitude settlements and glacial moraine to reach EBC and it wasn't a disappointment - witnessing the khumbu icefall and ice seracs at base and seeing Everest flanked by Changste and Nuptse and other giants was amazing.
Annapurna Trekking is certainly one of the most rewarding treks in Nepal. The views are simply stunning and as this was our first time on a long overseas trek, we were very inexperienced and hopeful that our guide would be patient, supportive and have everything in order. We had an excellent guide, who should all the traits we were hopeful of and even had a lovely meal with the manager of our local tour operator on our last day. I would certainly recommend Nepal trek to anyone who wants a low cost high value experience.
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.
