Client Reviews

Perfect organization according to my personal needs to go to Everest Base Camp

Rating: Review Date : May 18, 2017

I travelled to Nepal to volunteer while working remote, and I didn´t have too much time to do the Everest Base Camp within the recommendable timing (12 days including Kala Pathar), but Durga helped me to organize my itinerary to meet my expectations.
I didn´t have to worry about anything!! Durga sent me the checklist with everything that I was going to need there, and my guide went shopping with me to get good quality items, and he also sent me key information about the High Altitude Thickness.
I enjoyed every single moment in the Himalayas, Chuda my guide knows by heart all the routes, and he was adapting his pace to my physical conditions, offering me his help all the time.
I decided that it was better to start the treks very early in the morning, because the weather conditions were perfect until 11 am (after that time, the weather was windy, foggy, sometimes raining, etc), and my guide accepted to proceed like that.
I was able to make my dream true thanks to Durga and Chuda. Fully recommended!!
