Fantastic Poon Hill 6 day trek I completed the 6 day Poonhill trek with Dev as my guide and Amir as my porter. As I booked this trek alone, I wasn't sure whether others would join (they didn't, but it would have been better to know this when I asked Khum upon arriving in Kathmandu.) Travelling solo was fantastic: the organisation and itinerary worked brilliantly. Dev did a fantastic job at altering the itinerary based on what I wanted to see and he planned a fantastic route from Poonhill crossing glacier rivers, via hot springs and through beautiful villages. He was knowledgeable, friendly, chatty (but not too much!) and matched my walking pace well. Dev and Amir kept me company in the afternoon after finishing trekking for the day. We played cards, teaching each other different games. Dev came well prepared for the trek, providing me with snacks, fruit and a poncho that also went over my bag when it tipped it down. He had a superb knowledge of the route, warning me when up/down or "Nepali flat" was coming up. I would highly recommend Dev if you choose to trek with this company.
Our Everest base camp trek was simply incredible. The breath taking views seem out of this world and you come away awestruck. Everything is looked after and our lead guide Bal was knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. He was always checking to make sure you were doing alright and if people became sick he looked after you. I cant say enough about Bal and his team of assistant guides and porters if you have the chance to request him i highly recommend it. Lodgings are simple but sound and the food is great. We were lucky enough to be put in with a great group of mixed ages and countries of origin and and we all became quick friends. If you have been thinking about this trip just lock it in trust me you wont be disappointed.
