Such an amazing trip with the most spectacular views! Never trekked to this extent and the guides are amazing and help you the whole way so don’t be put off! Met some amazing people, was great to see everyone constantly helping each other out!
Most Inspirational Moment
On the way down a few of us went out on the night and sat watching the stars with an Everest Beer. I saw 2 shooting stars and even saw Venus-most memorable moment in my life!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader Bikash Tamang (aka B to us) was a great help with altitude and helped keep the group strong. Always laughing and smiling and even on hand to carry my bag when I needed a help. Such a supportive leader and I'm so grateful to have had B as my leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Stop every now and again and just take it all in, don't miss all the beautiful sights trying to go fast!
This was an amazing trip, and I cannot wait to revisit Nepal. The scenery was stunning, reaching Everest Base Camp was awe-inspiring, and Exodus took care of all of the organisation. The whole trip was well organised, and everything ran smoothly thanks to the work of Exodus and our leader and assistant staff.
I had never done anything like this before, and so to anyone who is currently wondering if they would be able to do it – if you have a good level of fitness, enjoy walking and are determined – go for it, you will not regret it.
Most Inspirational Moment
Finally reaching Everest Base Camp was a truly incredible moment. The scenery in the Himalayas was always breathtaking as well.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader, Pasang Bomjan, was excellent. He provided help and advice when I suffered from altitude sickness, and I was always confident in his ability to lead the group safely and competently.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do not underestimate the altitude. However, if you follow your leader's advice - ascend slowly, drink lots of water, keep eating even if you have no appetite - you will be able to complete the trek.
The route was surprisingly dusty, so I recommend bringing a buff/scarf to cover your mouth.
This had been on my bucket list for a while and it didn’t disappoint! Absolutely breathtaking scenery, exciting trekking and a wonderful culture. I’m so glad I booked with Exodus as the whole experience, from start to finish, was organised and managed to perfection. Don’t find an excuse not to do this, just do it!
Most Inspirational Moment
Arriving at Base Camp was an incredible feeling, and the ascent of Kala Patthar the next day, whilst tough, gave the most impressive views of the Everest range.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader, Pasang Bomjan, was flawless throughout. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and the group felt very safe in his hands.
Advice for Potential Travellers
My advice would be to not underestimate the challenge - at the highest altitudes the trekking is tough, even if you are fit.
Otherwise, just do it!
This trip proved to be an amazing, once in a lifetime adventure which I feel so lucky to have experienced.
Most Inspirational Moment
Waking at 3:30am (optional element of the trip!), around minus 5 outside, pitch black and snowy - all for an optional walk up Kala Patthar. A somewhat grumpy and bleak start ended up being the highlight of the trip - particularly seeing the sun rise over Everest - truly mind-blowing. will never, ever forget it.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader B was truly awesome. confident, caring, responsible and fun. We genuinely couldn't of wishes for a better group leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Definitely to pack everything on the required items list - you will need everything!
The trip was exceptionally well organized. The group leader and guides were totally in control and were very knowledgeable on the subject of the trek. They were also always in the immediate vicinity to help anyone in the group who needed help.
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching Everest base camp and getting to know all the members of our excellent group
Thoughts on Group Leader
Five star.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Carry some extra food that you prefer to eat as the menu is rather limited
Absolutely loved this trip. The hardest thing I’ve done in my life, don’t be fooled into thinking it’ll be anything less than that! But absolutely worth every moment! Amazing views, amazing country. Met great people, some of whom will be friends for years to come I am sure. The guides were fantastic and the whole thing was organised brilliantly. Clear skies and views of Mount Everest made this trip!
Most Inspirational Moment
Watching the sun rise over Everest, shortly followed by a snow avalanche!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very good! Passang went above and beyond for us all!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Stock up on loo roll - it gets more expensive the further up you go! And don't skimp on the sleeping bag, you NEED a really good quality one.
Incredible trip to Everest Base Camp and scale Kalapatthar for the sunrise.
The scenery was breath-taking and mesmerising in equal measure, but everything was backed by a fantastic team of guides.
Most Inspirational Moment
Watching the sunrise from the peak of Kalapatthar
Thoughts on Group Leader
Professional, fun and experienced mountaineer it was a pleasure to trek with Sukman
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take an insulated 'sigg' bottle and get boiled water each night - wrap this in a towel for a hot waterbottle experience
Also merino base layers and liner socks make life easier
The trip was well organised, featuring stunning mountains views of the exceptional himilayan mountains! Even though we lost two days due to flight cancellations the Sherpa rearranged all of our accommodation and still made sure we made it to the base camp and back on time!
Most Inspirational Moment
Taking a helicopter ride over the mountains on Christmas Day!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ngima Sherpa was a outstanding guy, he was quick in his feet with solutions to group problems, he was an absolute bundle of laughs! He kept me and the group smiling the entire trip! Certainly made the trip

Put your wet wipes in your sleeping bag and it's like a warm shower in the morning!
