Our wonderful trek to Everest Base Camp

we wanted to take a moment and let you know how wonderful our trip to Nepal was. The trek to Everest Base Camp was amazing. Our trek leader Giri and our helper Ram were incredible. They were truly professional. Giri was not only our trekking guide but also our cultural historian, medic, negotiator, city tour guide and so much more. He was very open with the hundreds of questions we had about the trek, the country, the people and the culture. We could not have asked for a better guide. We were amazed at the abilities of our porter Ram, his gentle smile and gentle nature are truly remarkable.

We would recommend Himalayan Glacier Trekking without reservation to anyone who was considering a trip to Nepal. We are considering using your company for next year’s trek to either Annapurna or Tibet and Bhutan.

In addition thank you Tony for answering all my questions and alleviating my concerns prior to departing for Nepal. You were quick to respond to all my questions and I very much appreciate that. Also thank you for personalizing our trip and recommending that we leave a day early, as we were able to catch the flight to Lukla when we needed to.

Best,

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!

South Africa to Everest Base Camp

“Our entire experience with Himalayan Glacier was excellent, and in fact got better and better as we went, especially when it was most important (deep in the mountains). From a well-constructed, informative and easy to use website, to the fast response and super-professional service provided by Naba out of Kathmandu, to the extremely competent and confidence-inspiring leadership in the mountains of Hom and his team, our Everest Base Camp trek-of-a-lifetime was exactly what we wanted it to be and more. The environment and overall scenery we experienced on our Everest Base Camp Trek was absolutely spectacular, Kala Pathar before sunrise was brilliant, and Chukkung Ri is a must if you’re up to it. All made so much better by the first-world professionalism of Himalayan Glacier.We would unconditionally and unreservedly recommend Himalayan Glacier to all.”

Jayant – trek to Everest Base Camp

Today April 24 is the rest day at Namche Bazaar (11300 ft) – we hiked up 2600 feet yesterday after crossing the Hillary Bridge. Boy that was a steep hike!

On April 22, we finally got out of Kathmandu to Lulka airport. When you get a chance, go to maps.google.com, find Lukla, Nepal, and watch the landing at Lukla airport to appreciate what the pilots need to do to get us there. Brian from our group is a pilot, and even he was impressed.

Everest Region Trek 2009 – Jim Marx

While visiting my son Nick in Vietnam in November, I took a side trip for a 15 day trek in the Everest region of Nepal.  I flew to Kathmandu, and on to Lukla to begin the trek.  I hiked for 7 days to reach elevations over 5,000 meters or 16,000 feet.  For the next five days I hiked around those elevations to the Everest Base camp, Kala Patthar at 5,545 meters or 18, 188 feet, over the Cho La Pass, and up Gokyo Ri.  From Gokyo Ri there is a spectacular view of four of the world’s six highest mountains including a great view of Mt. Everest.  The last three days were spent hiking back down to Lukla for a flight back to Kathmandu.  It was a great experience that I highly recommend.

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.

Mr Kamal writes after back to Sydney

Mr Kamal & Ms Gayathri are back home safe, Gayathri was rescued from Dingboche in Helicopter as she had food poisiting.

We are back in Sydney. Back to our boring routine. Gayathri moved to a hostel near her campus and we are busy with our work.

It is warm here and we already miss the cold weather of Nepal. I wish to share some ideas about the trek and some pictures. I believe that the whole the trek and climbing was very well organized and well paced. Guide “Tilak” is marvelous. He had a good knowledge of the route, surrounding mountains locations, and people. He was helpful through out the trek and sometimes carried my bags for me. We remember your porter “Lok Dal” as a very strong, polite and careful person. The way he cared of my daughter, when she got in to the trouble was excellent. If you keep employing person with these qualities, your organization will thrive and will never go out of business. Please take a good care of them. You can not afford to loose them to another organization.

I have few comments:

• Meeting at the Kathmandu Air Port, dinner and night out at Kathmandu, and introduction to the trek was excellent.
• Any hints about the food we should look at while on the trek would be a greatly beneficial. For example I feel that if Gaya avoided meat and diary products at Namche Bazar, she would not get the food poisoning.
• The guides were very friendly, helpful during the whole trip and set a good pace for our fitness and acclimatisation levels.
• Visiting Everest View Hotel was worthwhile. We should have stayed for a longer to enjoy it.
• The rest day in Namche was also good. But I feel that we should have continued to Kumchung next day and rest.
• The lodges we stayed at were good, except for Tembouche. Food we had at Temboughe was very ordinary. Is it possible to avoid Tembouche and walk up to Pembouche for the night rest?
• The pacing of the walk was good especially for my age.
• The way you handle the emergency was excellent. Helicopter arrived in time and the clinic you recommended was excellent.
• In Overall I could recommend to any one your service. I am not good in writing of references. But if you wish to give anyone my coordination for recommendation, I do not have any issues with it. My Email is ————@rta.nsw.gov.au.

Again thanks for your service. I wish you a good health and prosperous business in future.

Regards
Kamal and Gayathri
