We are back to Kathmandu today after a great trek to Everest Base Camp. The company did an amazing job without a single issue. Our guide Gopal was a gem. We couldn't expect anything more than what we received.
As many of the other travellers who were on the same trek have said, this was one of the best. We've trekked many times in the Himalaya without visiting the Annapurna or Everest regions, so all our experiences have been in less visited and quite remote areas. With this in mind, this trip was still exceptional. We passed through a wide variety of environments, were rewarded with spectacular high peak scenery, and observed traditional life in villages which gradually evolved from Nepalese to Tibetan culture the higher we trekked. This part of our experience was enhanced by staying mainly in lodges in the villages rather than wild camping which is what we've mostly done previously. Even though the lodges were basic (and referring to them as 'lodges' may be rather misleading!), they were nevertheless adequate for our needs.
Langtang Valley Trek September 2018 Together with my friend from Qatar, we totally enjoyed the trek! The landscapes were amazing and the Nepali people were so polite and friendly. Prepare yourself for the road! It was terrible. It took us 11hrs from Kathmandu to reach Syabrubesi due to landslide and bumpy and dusty road. The food in the tea houses were a bit costly and the taste was different as i expected.
