EBC trek

Overall experience was good. I originally signed for EBC and Gokyo lakes trek, but on the way up I realized that I'm not going to make it through Cho La pass. My guide Suman changed the plan right away for EBC trek only with going back different route so I still saw a lot. Suman was always trying to get me best accommodation and we didn't have problem with our flight from Lukla even when a lot of people got stuck there due to worsening weather. Only thing I wish there were a group. Nobody else signed up and I ended up going solo - not what I wanted but the trek still was great.

Everest Base Camp Trek

Bijay Lama (our guide) was by far one of the nicest guys we met in Nepal. He spoke English very well and was able to answer all of our questions regarding mountains, wildlife, Sherpa life, etc... He gave us recommendations on food, walking speed and breathing techniques depending on our location throughout the hike. I would highly recommend.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
