    If you have an adventurous spirit, trekking to Everest Base Camp is an absolute must-do. The challenging trails, stunning landscapes, and the sense of achievement are unparalleled.

    Embarking on the 9 days Everest Base Camp trek was a life-changing experience made possible by the exceptional guide and the fantastic trekking company. From the very beginning, all arrangements were flawless, offering us peace of mind and allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Himalayas. Our guide truly went above and beyond to ensure that our trek was enjoyable and safe. With their extensive knowledge of the region, they constantly shared fascinating insights about the mountains, the Sherpa culture, and the challenges we would encounter along the way. Their guidance was invaluable, particularly during the acclimatization process, as they closely monitored our well-being and provided helpful tips to manage altitude sickness effectively. The trekking company deserves equal praise for their exceptional level of organization. They took care of every detail, including transportation, accommodations, and meals, making the entire journey seamless. We never had to worry about logistics, enabling us to focus solely on absorbing the incredible landscapes and embracing the physical demands of the trek. I wholeheartedly recommend this guide and the trekking company for anyone seeking a memorable Everest Base Camp trek. Their commitment to providing a top-notch experience is evident in the care and attention they give to every aspect of the journey. Prepare to be amazed by the majestic mountains, guided by a knowledgeable and friendly expert, all while enjoying an adventure where all arrangements run smoothly.

    The EBC trek is an incredible adventure on its own, but Sherpa Expedition and Trekking, along with their guide Pasang Sherpa, truly go above and beyond to make it easy, safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your needs. Booking with them was a breeze. I would highly recommend paying in full at once to avoid any extra charges, as mentioned on their website. Ram Barakoti, the owner, was extremely helpful throughout the planning process, providing packing lists and organizing a helpful pre-trip meeting to ensure everything went smoothly. Now, unless you're accustomed to roughing it, I strongly suggest considering the room upgrades and solo room options. Trust me, those first three nights will be much more comfortable as you gradually acclimate to the challenging hike. The price is worth it, especially since the accommodations become less comfortable as you ascend to higher altitudes (this is the case with all companies, due to the nature of the trek). My guide, Pasang Sherpa, was absolutely awesome. Although I had initially booked as part of a group trip, no one else signed up, so it ended up being a solo journey with Pasang. I had an amazing time with him. Now, being a larger individual, you might not expect me to make it to Everest Base Camp at first glance, and I had my own doubts as well. However, Pasang believed in me and was incredibly encouraging. He made sure we approached the hike in a way that allowed me to properly acclimate to the altitude and maintained a pace that suited me. I was quite slow, but Pasang never minded. He was patient, urging me to take my time and providing opportunities for water breaks. Additionally, he willingly carried a lot of my belongings (since I didn't hire a porter) and even carried my entire bag on short acclimatization day hikes. Having trekked to EBC and other routes countless times, Pasang has the trail memorized. He can tell you exactly how long each section will take. He knows the best hotels/tea houses and places to eat, and possesses extensive cultural knowledge about the monasteries and local customs. He is great company when you want to engage in conversation, but also content with hiking quietly and savoring the breathtaking views. Furthermore, he is a skilled photographer, capturing incredible pictures for you to cherish. I mention all of this because I genuinely believe I wouldn't have made it to the top without Pasang's guidance and support. Not only did he provide expert advice, but he is also a genuinely good person who is a joy to hike with. You can sense how much he enjoys his work—meeting people from all over the world and guiding them on unforgettable treks. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Pasang, Ram Barakoti, and the entire team at Sherpa Expedition and Trekking for providing me with the experience of a lifetime.

    9 days EBC hike was real challenging, physically and mentally but it was a biggest part of my success as my entire Sherpa Expedition and trekking Team helped me reached out to Everest Base Camp. The trek was really beautiful and smooth. Thank you Sherpa Team! If you have previous experience or if you already have been 5000 meters please you do this trip, otherwise choose 12 days trek package.

    9 Days Mount Everest Base Camp trek was fantastic! Although we were offset by the weather conditions in Lukla during the first few days, we ultimately had a wonderful time. Our guide and porter were helpful and definitely made great trip. I would highly recommend EBC Tek with Sherpa Expedition & trekking. We will definitely come back for next Adventure with them!!

    My Friend James and i did the Everest Base Camp Short Trek - 9 days. I would like to express my gratitude towards Sherpa Expedition and Trekking Team for providing me with one of the best trekking journeys of my life. All of my queries and questions were answered promptly. I felt very safe and only enjoyed the trip without any problems at all Because Ram, gave us full information about the trip, regarding the mountain sickness we follow the itinerary. Everest step when i stop for rest Lakpa remind me drink water.. He was very helpful Guide and Nima help me to carry my backpack all the way to Gorakshep. My tips for all trekkers who chose this trek -Walk very slowly - don't caffeinated, alcoholic, and smoking items during the EBC trek. - Drink at least 3-5 liters of water a day. - Drink garlic soup, Ginger tea, Coa Cola. - Avoid Non-Veg Food items (don't eat meat iteams) -Always follow the Guide It was one of the best organized trips done by a local agency. Thank you for the great experience in Nepal. Namaste!
