Great trip although some days seemed to be very short.

Great trip unforgettable Deighton, good food and a very nice guide. I'm a quick walker so some days seemed very short with a lot of spare time but overall a wonderful experience.

Island Peak with Buddha Trekking and The expedition

I was satisfied with Buddha Trekking and Expedition prompt email correspondence, meet / greet at airport, transfers to and from hotel and the trekking guide. I was very disappointed with the chosen climbing guide that took over at Island Peak Base camp. He was arrogant and dismissive when I needed to take a break to drink some; while crossing the glacier and being short ropped together he tugged on the rope as to say that I was walking too slow which caused me to stumble and fall several times which is particularly dangerous when walking on glaciers riddled with crevasses. I would rate this high if better care was taken in which mountain guides are used.

Both trips that my familia and I took with this company were Incredibly Wonderful! The attention recieved from the Kathmandu staff and mountain staff were excellent all time. Thank you for making that dream come true, for the patience, for the kindness and for the great experience. We'll be back very soon! Thanks Dil! Thanks Prem!

Excellent Island Peak and Everest Base Camp trek!

A inicios de Septiembre, con la fantstica compaa de Ram y Vivek tuvimos un maravilloso Trekking por el valle del Khumbu. Sin duda, una experiencia enriquecedora que todo el mundo debera disfrutar alguna vez en su vida. Aunque el tiempo no acompa del todo, pudimos disfrutar tanto de las hermosas vistas de la cordillera como de la hospitalidad y de la simpata de sus gentes.
