My son Gabriel and I were delighted to have chosen Nepal Hiking Team for our unforgettable trek to Everest Base Camp. Our 17-day route took us through many beautiful natural sights as we followed the Dudh Koshi River towards Gokyo Lakes, crossing the river several times on suspension bridges.
At Gokyo, a 4:30 am ascent of Gokyo Ri allowed us to view the sunrise over Everest and some of the most spectacular scenery we have ever witnessed. After Gokyo came the long and arduous ascent of Cho La Pass at 5420m and a crossing of the Ngozumpa glacier, which brought us back to the main EBC trail.
We spent a night at base camp, a unique opportunity to interact with some climbers preparing to summit Everest. The accommodation in tea houses was spartan but perfectly fine, and the provided food was always tasty, nourishing, and plentiful.
A great big thanks goes out to Ganga for flawlessly organizing what was essentially a custom trip. Many thanks, too, to our peerless porter Jiban, who amazed us with his capacity to haul our duffel bags up the steepest of slopes—and always with a smile! But the biggest thank you must go to our guide and friend, Arjun, who ensured the trek went smoothly and ensured our well-being every step.
I can’t comment on the many other companies that operate treks to EBC, but I can resolutely state that Nepal Hiking Team goes out of its way to ensure client satisfaction. I highly recommend NHT and would not hesitate to use them again.
