Everest Base Camp Dec/Jan

Yes, I highly recommend this company. A huge thank you Chhatra, Ram, Raju, Raj, and the phenomenal driver who’s name I missed—for an excellent trip from December 19, 2021 to January 3, 2022. I completed the Everest Base Camp trek from 12/20-12/31 and added on two additional day tours in Kathmandu. The trek was incredible and led by Ram, an energetic senior guide, and Raj, a friendly porter. Stunning scenery and an accomplishment I’ll never forget!! On my day tours in Kathmandu, Raju filled my brain with history and cultural insights, while adapting our stops to my interests and selecting great rooftop restaurants. Chhatra was super responsive to all my questions and concerns regarding the trip and COVID-19 logistics. He arranged a PCR test at my hotel for my return to the United States and Raju walked me through picking up the results at the airport and double checking the report details. Top notch transfer service as well. The staff were attentive and provided a safe first experience in Nepal for me, a female and solo traveler. Looking forward to booking my next trek to the Annapurna region!!

Excellent trip to Everest Base Camp with Nepal Eco Adventures

I had an excellent trip, a 12 life time memory , Would definitely re book trips with this tour company. My guides Basu & Raj were brilliant and very helpful. They also organised a covid test for me at my hotel for departing Nepal. Thank you

The trek of a lifetime

This was an amazing trek. My guide, Gelu Tamang, was the best. He was personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious, and we became good friends over the 12 days of the trek. Count yourself lucky if you get to trek with Gelu. Chhatra did a very good job making arrangements for the trek, including permits and flights.

A unforgettable trip, with an amazing guide and porter ( Dhana & Buddhabir ) that took amazing care of us from start to finish. Highly recommended this specific trek and company...Ill will be BACK to do it again!!!!

Mahesh MOHITEOn May 5, 2019

Good trek to do, but Prepare adequately... Trekking company does more than adequate...

I think this was well designed, well supported trek. Good lodges, good food, well informed caring guide, at reasonable cost. What more you can ask for.... At age of 54 with reasonable preparation I could do EBC and Kala patthar only thanks to Nepal echo adventures... I wish them all the best.

Best Experience Ever

This trip was amazing! Our guide (Dorjee) was a blast to be with for 12 days he really connects with you and is very informative and booked us good teahouses. The trek it self was fun but challenging at the same time with a amazing reward of being at basecamp! I highly recommend this trip to anyone!

EBC

The trip is so great, no word can't describle. I have a lot of good memory with this.

Very nice trip!

The everest base camp trek is the best trekking I ever did! I did the trek in february and although is was a bit colder than the high season it was definitely worth it, because the crowds are also a lot less.

Everest Base Camp Treak :)

I had the most AMAZING time trekking to the EBC. Could not have done it without Sudip (our guide) and Raj (our porter). Together we shared many laughs along the way which helped keep the spirits high and I reached base camp on a beautifully and sunny perfect day. Look forward to going back to Nepal for some more trekking in the future.

Very Positive Experience with Nepal Eco

The Everest Base Camp & Kala Patthar Trek is an incredible experience! Sudip was a great guide, who went above and beyond to ensure I was enjoying the trip - and he even organised a special cake for me on Christmas Day, which was very lovely! The trip is very well organised and the choice of tea houses is good. Sudip gave me the option to change the itinerary slightly, doing Kala Patthar in the afternoon of EBC instead of the very early wake up (which I definitely preferred), however, in hindsight, I probably would have preferred to have the celebration night in Namche and endured the huge walk the day after, instead of travelling down and staying the night in Monjo. I would also be interested to know more about the cost breakdown, as I was allowed to order anything off the menu at meal times (which was great!), but with meals differing in price, I'm unsure how Nepal Eco budgets for this. Overall it was a very positive experience and one that I would, and definitely will recommend!

Ram was a great guide for the trek! Very knowledgeable and made sure we made it!

An awesome and unforgettable trek with Raj and Nepal Eco Adventure!

As an amateur trekker, I can't imagine going to EBC without Raj. Raj really made this journey so special and distinct. By comparison to all the guides I have seen in the EBC trek, he was definitely the best, and it is quite obvious when you interact with him. He was always helpful, never hesitating to satisfy your needs, and was not only a fantastic guide, but also a really good person. He was very informational, friendly, and cheerful. I can say that he is a model of what a guide should be or strive to be.I'd recommend Raj to those doing the EBC trek or any other trek in Nepal, as his 10 years of experience as a guide and his personality will make any trek enjoyable even when it becomes cold and miserable from altitude sickness.

Excellent trek

We had an excellent trek together with our very friendly, helpful and informative guide Dukpa. The trek is so beautiful and we enjoyed each day. Kala Patthar was hard but definitely worth the effort. We had a wonderful view of Mount Everest in the sunset. Perfect :-)
