Everest Base Camp Trek - 16 Days

The 2-weeks long Everest Base camp trek took me close to the unusual gifts of nature. It had been my dream to see the tallest mountain of the world in front of my own eyes. I am so glad that it came true. With the help of Alpine Eco Trek, I was able to make the most out of my time at the Himalayas. As soon as I landed, the staff from Alpine Eco Trek made me feel home. They showed me around the tourist hub of Kathmandu- Thamel. On the next day, I reached Lukla. The Sherpa people were immensely friendly. We danced together in some Sherpa songs to end the first night of the trek. My guide was very knowledgeable about the Everest region. He shared his stories about how he came to fall in love with his job. I could witness the reason myself. The beauty of the Himalayas would make anyone fall in love with the place.

We had never been to Nepal before. So, we were pretty excited as well as curious about the people, their lifestyle, and culture. Also, being a foodie, we were pretty happy to taste Momo and Nepalese Food that we had heard about from our friends who had been to Nepal. Everything we tried felt delicious. We traveled with Alpine Eco Trek, and we are happy that we chose this travel company. Their services were of high quality. Our trekking guide and porters were very cheerful throughout the Everest Base Camp trek. To our pleasure, everything went as planned. We did not suffer from altitude sickness, so we were able to enjoy the whole trek. Since it was in April (a peak season for trekking), we met many fellow trekkers along the trail. Also, We were able to make some Japanese friends who we are still in contact with now. The teahouses served good food. The whole trip was full of fun memories that we will cherish for the rest of our life. Thanks, Ram and Alpine Eco Trek for organizing a wonderful trip for us.  

One of my closest friends had been to Everest Base Camp, and he insisted that I go for it too. I read a lot about the trek and was very excited. I was looking forward to the flight to Lukla. Undoubtedly, the 25 min flight was one to remember. The mountain vistas looked stunning from the flight. The landing part was a bit scary, but I enjoyed the whole flight. Along the trail, I clicked many photos. Kids were gathering to be around because I was carrying a camera. They were very photogenic, indeed. Along the way, I also the chance to click photos of old Sherpa women doing their household works. I smiled at them, and they smiled back, saying Namaste. My guide asked them if I could take their photos. The traditional ornaments that they wore were gorgeous. I plan to travel to Nepal next year too. So, I look forward to seeing the friendly staff of AlpineEco Trek again. 

While preparing for the Everest Base Camp, I was inquisitive about how hard it would be to reach the top. I did not have much experience regarding trekking in Nepal. After contacting Alpine Eco Trek, I felt relieved as they said they would provide me some basic training. After landing in Kathmandu, I enjoyed a day of sightseeing around the Kathmandu valley. I was amazed to see the delicate carvings in the wooden palaces in Kathmandu Durbar Square. On the next day, before departing for Lukla, the guide told me not to worry about the trek. My guide was kind enough to provide me some basic training. Reaching the top was a dream come true for me. All thanks to my guide from Alpine Eco Trek.

Once I landed in Kathmandu, I met the people from Alpine Eco Trek. From the beginning till the end, they were beneficial. I am glad I found out about Alpine Eco Trek. The flight to Lukla was thrilling. I am a total adventure lover. So, the flight was one of the best parts of the whole trip. Reaching the base camp was also another highlight of the trip. After days of tiring trekking, reaching the top felt terrific. My guide, Ming Sherpa, was valuable. He was sure to provide me good food and a cozy room to spend the night. Along the way, we shared our stories. The Sherpa people seemed friendly and welcoming. Besides Daal-Bhat, I also had choices for other dishes in Namche Bazaar. Overall, the trip was enjoyable, and I look forward to revisiting Nepal soon. 

Traveling with Alpine Eco Trek was the right decision I made. After many consecutive queries, they were kind enough to reply to each of my questions quickly. After I arrived in Kathmandu, I went on a sightseeing tour, which was terrific. My guide Ram helped me to get some trekking gear and equipment for the trek. After I landed in Lukla, I saw many things that fascinated me. The fact that Sherpa people live in such a harsh environment fascinates me. Along the way, I saw little Sherpa kids playing an exciting game of marbles. The majestic mountains all around me took my breath away. My most favorite place along the trail was Namche Bazaar. The panoramic views of the mountains from the window of my room were spectacular. Every day, I would wake up to this fantastic view. This trip to Everest Base Camp was one of the best trips I have ever had. Thank you Alpine Eco Trek team, I will definitely recommend my friends to do this trip with you.  

I came to know about Alpine Eco Trek from one of my friends who traveled to Nepal 2 years ago. The most intriguing part for me as I prepared for the trek was about the accommodation services during the trek. I asked my friend for help, and he told me about Alpine Eco Trek. I immediately contacted them, and I am happy that my friend recommended this travel company. The flight to Lukla was a thrilling experience for me. The sceneries I could see from the flight was breathtaking, and as I started my trek, the views started getting even better. The friendly Sherpa people were kind enough to provide us with extra blankets. We could not communicate properly, but they taught me some Nepali words and simple phrases. The guesthouse owners offered us hot water for bathing too. Overall, the Everest Base camp trek was adventurous and out of this world. 

We just finished our 2-week trek to Everest Base Camp. Overall, the fascinating part of the whole trip was the culture and lifestyle of the people of the Himalayas. Everyone is so friendly, and the food we tasted in the guesthouses was just excellent. Dhurba, who was our guide during the trip, was such a great help. He was able to make our trip stress-free and full of fun. The itinerary was flexible, as well. We would rest if we were tired without having to follow the itinerary. We are genuinely grateful to Alpine Eco Trek and our guide, Dhurba. We plan to return to Nepal next year with our family for a week-long Annapurna Base Camp trek. We are looking forward to meeting Ram (owner of the company) and our guide Dhurba again. I highly recommend Alpine Eco Trek to anyone planning to visit Nepal or planning to go for any short or long Trek around the country.
