Heard about Chhatra and Nepal Eco Adventure from a friend who had been to Nepal on a number of occasions and had used them previously. I had committed to my 17 year son that if he worked hard for his HSC (Australian A Levels), we would take a trip to Everest Base Camp. Skyped the company and was surprised to get in contact with Chhatra in person, he was generous with his time, patient, friendly and was able answer all my queries, which were many as I was a bit apprehensive about the trip as had only ever hiked in Australia and New Zealand previously. On arriving in Nepal and meeting Chhatra and the team in person, we received great service and advice on the likely conditions for the trek. On landing in Lukla, we were greeted by our guide (Dupath) and porter (Kumar), who I can't thank enough for their patience and assistance during the hike, Dupath was very knowledgeable about the mountains, culture and various temples and stupas along the trek, Kumar was a legend and mean pool player. We hooked up with another Australian father and his two sons, who were also with Nepal Eco Adventures, their guide Ram was also equally knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We had clear skies and great weather for the entire trek, all in all a fantastic experience and trip and I can't recommend Nepal, local Nepalese, Chhatra and his team on the ground strongly enough.
