EVEREST BASE CAMP

I was so excited to be setting off on my EBC holiday at last.  the holiday from start to finish not only fulfilled my expectations, it surpassed them.  i came home feeling that i had had a wonderful experience.  all queries to exodus were dealt with promptly prior to the holiday and our leader Pasang resolved any problems that arose during the holiday with seemingly effortless ease.  Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Most Inspirational Moment

We were woken early on the morning that we were at Thyenboche to come and look at the view.  The sky was a brilliant blue, the air was cold but the sun was out.  We were thrilled to get our first view of Everest, nestling behind Nuptse and Lhotse.  It was beautiful and I know that that vista will stay in my memory for ever.

Thoughts on Group Leader

What can I say about Pasang.  His beaming smile met us at the airport after our long, tiring journey.  He was entertaining, bright, efficient, helpful, charming and knowlegeable.  He assisted us with our many queries throughout our holiday, he gave us good advice and seemingly effortlessly guided us to our destination.  I think I can speak for the whole group in saying we felt very lucky indeed to have Pasang along with us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would simply reiterate the advice given by exodus.   some of the walks are challenging because of the altitude and therefore I would advise potential travellers to get themselves as fit as possible prior to their holiday.  although one cannot always avoid altitude sickness, you can cope with the effects if you are  fit and well in other respects.

An experience of a lifetime

This is without a doubt an experience of a lifetime – hard work but well worth the effort.

Most Inspirational Moment

There are too many to mention but a few of my favourites would include:- Reaching Base Camp after nine days of hard slog- Seeing Everest from the top of Kala Patar- Meeting our guide's father, the only livinig survivor from the original 1953 summit climb- Having a fantastic group of fellow trekkers - The best leader, guide and assistant guides one could ever ask for (Lakpa, Domi, Tikka & Anil)

Thoughts on Group Leader

One word - superb!!

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is not an easy trip and a very good level of fitness is necessary (although it is importan to remember that this is completely un-correlated to how, if at all, your body will react to the altitude) but by being prepared (read the trip notes and fellow travellers' reviews well!), having an open mind and whole heap of positive attitude will serve you well. Oh and don't forget to drink lots and lots of water and walk slowly every day!!

EVEREST BASE CAMP

A fantastic trip lead by a great leader, Pasang, and a lovely team of guides and yak men. Although it was very hard work the rewards of the scenery and reaching base camp were well worth the effort.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the porters at work carrying their huge loads up the mountains made our efforts seem quite paltry as we were only carrying day rucksacks. Also, the cheerful attitude of our guides who could not have been more helpful in ensuring that we had a good time and all made it Everest Base Camp.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Pasang, could not have been a better leader. From the moment he met us at the airport until he left us there at the end he worked to ensure we all had a great time and achieved our goal. He was very observant noticing who may be feeling unwell and offering support and encouragement. His local knowledge and experience ensured that we still did the trip even with bad weather at Lukla preventing flights taking off for 2 days. Above all he was great fun and a central figure in ensuring that the group gelled as a team. Pasang's team of guides, Hymanda, Nima and Soraj, were also fantastic. They greeted everyone in the morning with some cheery words and a welcome hot drink and remained cheerful all day carrying bags for people who were unwell and keeping us all going at a sensible pace. A highlight of the trip was the end night party with the fantastic dancing and singing of the guides and the yakmen, Ratna and Tanzing, finishing off our holiday in great style.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't underestimate how hard this trip is especially in the last 3 days when sleeping at altitude becomes difficult. Pack lots of throat lozenges for the Khumbu cough and as many warm clothes as you can fit in your kitbag.Take an alternative bag to carry your kit on the way home, the kitbags take some beating on the yaks and some of ours were not in a fit state at the end of the holiday for the flight home.Be prepared for extra expense - we had to fly to Lukla by helicopter in order to complete the trip.

EVEREST BASE CAMP

Enjoyed every moment of my holiday, an amazing experience

Most Inspirational Moment

Meeting our guides father who was on Expedition 53 with Edmund HilaryClimbing to the top of KalapatarReaching Everest Base CampThe friends I made in the group

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lakpha our group leader was brilliant, he made my holiday special, and looked after everyone in the group.

EVEREST BASE CAMP

If you are thinking about booking this trip just do it, this was without doubt the holiday of a lifetime.  Age makes little difference with the youngest on our group of 16 being 34 to Mike aged 72, a reasonable level of fitness is required but the pace dictated by the group leader and the acclimatisation stops ensure everyone can reach their full potential and achieve the goal in reaching Everest Base Camp.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many from my first sight of Everest, the Sherpa memorial, but for me it had to be reaching base camp with my recently married daughter and son in law.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader, Pasang, was absolutely outstanding, knowledgable, great communicator, caring, inspirational and a first class people person, that said he was supported by an outstanding team with Jetha, Pemba and Cherous being equally encouraging, friendly and efficient.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just do it!, attain a reasonable level of fitness before going but remember altitude can effect anyone so take on all the advice given by the group leader and his team.

EVEREST BASE CAMP

Himalaya is really a big, (inside and outside) sort of place..and it is a very difficult treck as it effect you inside and outside.  I was really lucky and walked this path with wanderful human being (the travel mate, the guide and the porters were truly wanderful).  I could not have been more lucky…..Hope that you too will be as lucky as we have been becouse the experience is behond words. 

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspiring moment is made by all the little moments: seeing and manage to reach the top, speach with people, looking and admiring the life of the sherpa, being there with my soul and my body.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader were wanderful human being we shared lough, joy and they really cared.
