Overland Tour in Tibet via Everest Base Camp

We, that is myself, the author of this piece, Dr Frank from Belgium, and my gotson from Venezuela, Wilmer, went on the Himalaya glacier trip in October 2009 (October 16 till October 30).
Seen the fact that I live and work in Malaysia, the trip was booked from Kuala Lumpur via a local agent. Bookings as such went fine, but it was a bit unfortunate that we were not aware of a certain flexibility in the accomodation provided to us during the trip. Agent in Kuala Lumpur had only sent us a standard type of tour. The standard type is more apt for young or-for that matter- budget trekkers, but appeals less to the more sophisticated travellers as were are.

Upon arrival in Kathmandu, we encountered some difficulties as to the choice of accomodation, we equally did so along the way in Tibet. Mister Naba, during our first meeting just a few hours into our journey, made us aware of the possibility to upgrade our accomodation, for which we were grateful. We did so in Kathmandu and on a few occasions also in Tibet by paying an extra, though reasonable. Only the more luxury type of accomodation in Kathmandu was a bit pricy, compared to Malaysia in the first place and compared to the standard of living in Nepal in the second place.

From USA to Everest Base Camp

My friend, Kim, and I traveled to Nepal in October 2009 to venture on an experience of a lifetime to Everest Base Camp.  Kim found the Himalayan Glacier Trekking website online and we were both impressed with the competitive prices, years of experience and professionalism they offered.  Being two single girls arriving at the Katmandu airport we were instantly grateful to find our guide, KP, waiting patiently for our arrival.  From that moment on we were cared for by the most generous and kind people we came across on our six weeks of travel, and perhaps in our lifetime.  Our well being and every need was meet along the way.  KP (our leader ), Dil (our porter) and Naba (our office manager extraordinaire) felt like extended family by the end of our amazing adventure.  Not a day goes by that we don’t think about the great experience we had while we were there.  There are no words to describe the beauty and majesticness that the mountains in Nepal hold.  We are beyond grateful to Himalayan Glacier Trekking for their hospitality and great service and would highly recommend them to everyone and anyone!

Thank you very much for organized our Everest base camp trek!

A friend and I planned a two weeks trip to Nepal which mainly included trekking coupled with a quick visit to Pokhara. This was a trip planned at the eleventh hour, but thanks to Himalayan Glaciers, it was well customized and perfectly organized. I highly recommend this agency, in particular, Naba (Sales Manager) as in my opinion, he is a ideal contact to have in a foreign country such as Nepal.

Our guides Tulsi and Phiroz were very accommodating, uplifting and most importantly, experienced and knowledgeable. At 5,000 metres, I showed signs of altitude sickness. This was quickly recognized and well managed by Tulsi and Phiroz. I am thankful to have been in their care for they helped ensure my trip to be memorable and safe.

Thanks from Nanda and Najieb
