    This trek far exceeded our expectations. The planning and organisation was excellent. The success of our trip was due in no small part to your team of guides, cooks, porters and the excellent team leader, Bir Singh. We had a great group of trekkers and have made many good friends. We look forward to trekking with World Expeditions again in the near future.

    I had an amazing experience. Everything went off without a hitch. Very organized, great Sherpas,very professional. It was a trip of a lifetime. I couldn't ask for anything more. Definitely recommend them. I also love what they stand for with their environmental stand, helping the local economy, charity, appropriately paying the Sherpas they hire. When I went, there was political strife with the Moaists in Kathmandu. WE was amazing with the political unrest that was occuring when we got back to KTM.
