You must book this trek. I had about 2 years from the point of booking to departure and had read nearly all books on the market and scoured the internet for all available videos of the trek. None of which prepared me for the journey - in a good sense. I wasn't sure how I would cope with the altitude, the basic tea houses or the food - all concerns of mine due to the fact I had never been on a trip like this before, but I was pleasantly surprised in each of these aspects. The Lodges are basic, but they are clean, comfortable and welcoming. The food selection is pretty broad, and you can enjoy Western staples such as pasta, pizza, potatoes and toasties if you wish, but do also try the local dishes like Mo Mos (dumplings) and Dal Bhat.
There were a few moments on the trek that I observed that confirmed I had made the right choice in going with a well-established 'brand' in Exodus. The organisation, contacts and professionalism of those involved meant that we felt fully prepared and most importantly, safe at every turn - Moreso than had I booked with a local, more independent company. These companies are perfectly fine, but I preferred the security and extensive knowledge Exodus was able to provide.
Well Organised and Great Guide Our guide Raju was excellent and supportive throughout our full trek to EBC. Nothing was too much trouble for him to organize and he was helpful with the whole group of 5 of us, whatever we needed either that be advice or support he was always on hand. Our guide Raju it was a pleasure nd look forward to seeing you next year to tackle a big one!
Everest Base Camp Trek 2018 Very beautiful trek, not so lucky with the weather but acceptable as we trekked in monsoon season. Lots of problems with flights but as suggested by the operator, we had few buffer days which was a good idea.
