The trek was great. Very challenging but Juddah and the other guides made sure everyone was looked after and addressed any challenges we had along the way. They looked after us very well.

We recently completed the Everest Circuit trek with World Expeditions, travelling as a family of six — and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. Choosing to do a trek of this scale with teenagers and young adults meant we were especially focused on safety, support, and strong logistics. We chose World Expeditions because of their excellent reputation for health and safety, and we are so glad we did. Not only did all six of us complete the full circuit (a goal we weren’t sure we’d achieve!), we did it feeling supported, well cared for, and genuinely uplifted by the experience. Our trek leader, Juddha, was exceptional — calm, experienced, knowledgeable, and kind. He guided us with quiet confidence, always making sure we were safe, informed, and encouraged at every stage. The porters and kitchen crew were equally impressive — warm, capable, and somehow full of energy even when we were exhausted. The food was amazing, the logistics seamless, and the team spirit unbeatable. From Gokyo Ri to Cho La Pass, Base Camp, Kala Pattar, and back through the villages, the landscapes were jaw-dropping — but what really made the trip was the people and the care behind it all. This wasn’t just a holiday — it was a life-changing experience. One we’ll talk about as a family for decades to come. We can’t recommend World Expeditions highly enough — especially if you’re looking for a trusted company to guide you through one of the most breathtaking adventures on Earth.

I was very impressed with the tour run by World Expeditions. Their level of care and professionalism exceeded all my expectations. Juddah, Mila, Gurwinder and Dillip were so patient, kind and attentive to all of our needs. It was a challenging adventure and nothing was too difficult for them. They made us feel like family and aimed to please at every chance. I highly recommend travelling with this company, in particularly with this crew. These men are a credit to this company.

Very happy with World Expeditions. I could only do a part of the trip due to illness, however, they way World Expeditions managed that issue was wonderful and caring. I would love to go back and do the remainder of the trip at another day. Very professional team, locally and extended.
