“

I had high expectations for this trip before we set off, and I wasn't disappointed. The trek itself offers stunning scenery and strikes a good balance between easier and harder days, a nice mix of lodge and tent accommodation, and occasional encounters with other trekkers without becoming the procession that the more popular EBC trek is. I couldn't fault the World Expeditions team that looked after us — from the porters, to the cooks, to the sherpas, everyone was committed to doing the best they could to ensure we had the most memorable experience. Special shout out to our lead sherpa Subol, whose extensive guiding expertise was evident throughout the trek. His knowledge, judgment, and organisation (not to mention sense of humour!) were a key part of the success of the trek. Based on this, my first experience with World Expeditions, I would not hesitate to use them again for my next trekking experience.
