Four of us went to Everest Base Camp in April and we had a very thorough plan about exact things that I wanted with the whole journey. Upon my conversation with Suresh, everything was arranged for our group’s requirements. The overall cost was reasonable and it was value for the money that we paid.
The accommodations at the Tibetan Hotel at Nanche were very comfortable. The best thing about the trip that I really liked was flexibility as well as comfortability. One of our grope members had a mild case of altitude sickness and so arrangements for him to stay at the hotel until we returned back after trekking further on was made. The whole trip was controlled with the profession, care and hassles free. We had a fantastic side seeing the tour in Kathmandu. Transportation services for pick up and drop off was accurate, and the meals in the mountains were so yummy. Our guide was Saran and Porter was Jhalak both of them were always on the lookout for our group and showed good care for us. The views along the journey were also gorgeous especially Namche to EBC and the villages were very fascinating to explore. It was a good vacation with my friends and Trek Holiday\’s good services and flexibility make our dream come true. It is one of the best trekking agencies and definitely is deserving of my recommendation.
