Everest Base Camp Trek

Kirsten Johnson (From Oregon,USA)

I can’t begin to express to you the incredible experience I had on this trek. I am someone who travels for work, for fun, for life experiences. The trek I went on with Pasang and Nema is something I will never forget in my lifetime. Typically I coordinate my own travels, this is my first time going on a trip I hadn’t planned myself, and let me tell you it was an epic adventure! From the moment arriving into Kathmandu, everything was seamlessly coordinated and so exceeded any expectation I could have ever imagined. The warm welcome our group received upon arrival and continued to have our 13 day trip is unlike any trip I’ve ever been on. The laughs, the sights, the culture, the world perspective I gained on this trip will stay with me forever. Our accommodations throughout the trek were the most “at home” feeling I’ve had in years. The kindness we were shown, the views, the food (which was all DELICIOUS) I will never be able to put into words what all of that meant to me. I’d just like to say such a big THANK YOU, to Pasang and Nema! We would have never made it the the end without you. Both of you will always have such a special place in my heart for the amazing adventure you gave our group. I hope to see both of you in the Himalayas soon!.
