Very professional and knowledgeable

I am writing to compliment our guide on the trip. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was kind and friendly and made our trip very pleasant. He became like family to us while we were on the trek. He took care of all of our needs and made sure that we had everything to make us comfortable. During the trek, I developed acute elevation sickness. He brought me tea and took care of me and did everything to make me comfortable. He made all of the arrangements for the emergency rescue and came with us to the hospital. We will never forget everything that he did for us. We have traveled all over the world and with many travel companies. Thank you for providing him as our guide.

Outstanding trip of a lifetime

Khum and the team have been fantastic. Met us at the airport and had a warm welcome. Sorted everything out for us with taxis and helicopters. Porters were great and our guide Dawa was fantastic. Great company. Would thoroughly recommend if you are thinking of trekking in Nepal.

Everest Base Camp Success!

Our 10-day Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return was an experience of a lifetime! The itinerary was just right. It was a challenging adventure but not overwhelming. The acclimatization days were incredible, and the final hike to Kala Patthar for the best views of Mt Everest was the cherry on top of a very large and delicious sundae! Also, the ‘Everest Highway’ is something to be experienced firsthand.

"Thrilling Trek: Everest Base Camp

My 10-day Everest Base Camp trek with this tour operator was an unforgettable journey. From start to finish, their attention to detail and expertise made the experience seamless and enjoyable. The trek itself was breathtaking, with stunning views of the Himalayas at every turn. The highlight was definitely the helicopter return, providing a unique perspective of the landscapes we had just conquered. The guides were knowledgeable and supportive throughout, ensuring our safety and comfort every step of the way. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to embark on a memorable adventure in the Himalayas.

Fantastic trip to EBC

We had a fantastic trip to EBC with helicopter return. The majestic white-capped mountain peaks were indescribable. Although we didn't make it to EBC due to acute altitude sickness on the very last day, it's still a worthwhile wonderful trip. It's the journey, not the destination! An adventure of a lifetime.
