Awesome communication, flexibility, and trekking experience with Raju

Our group of three had a wonderful experience despite some weather difficulties. Our guide, Raju, did an amazing job leading us and his company worked the logistical angles well to ultimately get us to Everest Base Camp. It was an incredible experience and great working with this company that I recommend wholeheartedly!

Everest Base Camp Chopper Return Trek

We did this trek with a group of friends, the company arranged the adventure smoothly. From arrival to our departure, everything went great. We initially booked the Everest Base Camp Trek, but after visiting the base camp, we decided to use the chopper to return to Lukla rather than walking the whole way. It was a great decision. Our guide Suman was highly knowledgable with lots of experience.
