Client Reviews
For anyone considering doing the EBC trek (or any trek in Nepal), please read my review carefully! I absolutely cannot say enough about Kamar and his team. I planned the 12 day EBC tour for my husband’s 50th birthday and we have previously climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro as well as other difficult hikes in South Africa, Costa Rica and China. We are in excellent physical condition and prepared for months training for our adventure. From the moment I chose this company, the service and attention were top notch- questions were answered promptly and everything that Kamar could have done, he went out of his way to do.
We arrived in Kathmandu to a warm welcome and marigold necklaces and the next morning we flew to Lukla with our guide and “Superman” porter. Everything was going great (lots of hard work, but going very well) until day 8. We arrived in Lobuche and my husband suddenly became very ill with altitude sickness and his oxygen dropped extremely low. Our guide swiftly coordinated with Kamar and Santoosh to arrange for emergency helicopter evacuation to get us and bring us immediately to a hospital in Kathmandu. Thankfully, my husband recovered quickly and while we were really disappointed to not have reached base camp (we were only about 6 hours and 300 meters away), health and safety were obviously the priority. While my husband was in the hospital, Kamar and team didn’t leave our side. He went with us to and from the hotel to hospital, checked on us and brought us to the airport 2 days later. We will be back as we have unfinished business with the beautiful Himalayas. I share this review not only for the great service and the wonderful experience we had the first 7 days, but to highlight that you REALLY want a company that can pull together should there be an emergency! I wouldn’t use anyone else and highly recommend this company for any trek you do in Nepal.
We had an amazing time with Teju our guide and Suresh our porter. Together their experience made our trip unforgettable. We'll definitely be coming back!
