EBC TREK

Best EBC trek

We loved our Himalayan Adventure. Our guide, Basu, was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and looked after us.

We were able to trust him and understand why he was critical. He also has a great sense of humor and had quite a few laughs. His English was also excellent, and we had no trouble communicating.

Our porter, Bikram, was also delicious, polite, and hard-working. He looked after me when Basu had to look after my sick husband and did an excellent job. His English was also good.

Thanks for a beautiful holiday.

Best EBC trek EVER

We did the hike to EBC Trek, and it was all perfect. The company’s organization, the hotel’s location, and the rise’s schedule.

Our guide, Suresh, was excellent, super responsible, and competent.

Thanks to Mr. Puru and his team for the great trip.

EBC Trek - Solo Female trekker

Where to start… What a fantastic place! You cannot fail to have your breath taken away on this EBC trek. Our experience was even better, given that we had already got on our flight out.

We had the assurance that everything was being taken care of for us. All our internal flights, permits, hotels, trekking guides, tours, everything! We can’t compliment the team at ‘Above The Himalayas’ enough.

As a solo female traveler, I needed to find a safe, reputable trekking company in Nepal. Above the Himalayas, Trekking Ltd. has exceeded my expectations! Gokki, my trekking guide, was fun, reliable, and creative.

During our EBC trek to Gokyo Ri, I crossed Cho La Pass to Kala Pathar. We went down to Chukung, where I met my climbing guide and porters, who were excellent as well. Our cook prepared fantastic food in the Island Peak base camp, so all I had to do was – go to the summit!

Excellent service; everything was well organized, fun, and professional!

I recommend DO NOT WASTE TIME SEARCHING AROUND FOR A LOCAL TREKKING COMPANY. BUT RATHER SPEND MORE TIME ABOVE THE HIMALAYAS!!!

The BEST trekking company for EBC Trek even in a worst-case scenario

I have no hesitation in recommending this company to all my friends. Mr. Puru Timalsena was excellent from the very beginning. , Replying to my emails on time. He was able to organize the exact EBC trek we wanted.

When we wanted, I was thrilled to work around my travel times. We were at ease when they met us at the airport and took us to the hotel.

Our pickup waited for hours until our flight, which was late, arrived. It’s comforting to know they will wait for you and not leave if your flight is late!

While on the trek, one of our group experienced acute mountain sickness. Puru arranges a helicopter evacuation down to Kathmandu.

A scary experience! We had the travel insurance to cover such an event. Puru and our Guide (who knew exactly what to do) organized everything so quickly.

Puru arranged a helicopter, hospital, Dorctos, and everything needed. Puru dealt with our insurance company (he has experience in this department). He took care of EVERYTHING. It was 100% stress-free in a worst-case scenario. On top of this, the trek itself was enjoyable.

Thanks to a great team of porters and our Guide, who took excellent care of us and ensured we had a great time! (Oh, Puru gives you the best price, including Kathmandu tours. He offers a traditional Nepalese dinner and entertainment at the end of the trek! Great value for money!).

If you want peace of mind that you are getting an honest and reliable company. To book your next adventure in Nepal, choose Above the Himalayas.

They go above and beyond your usual trekking deal. If I ever go back or visit neighboring Bhutan, there is no doubt I will call Puru to organize it!

EBC Trek in May

Went here in May for our EBC trek. The first time we took a tour like this, The group at Above the HimalayaPhurba trekking was excellent. They meet us at the airport, hotel accommodations, preparations, and supplies—all top-notch.

The guide we had was Phurba. He is an excellent, knowledgeable guy. Earnest about his job and your safety. They provide much of the equipment, including sleeping bags.

I hire down jackets, climbing boots, and a rain poncho. Nothing was cheap; it was all first-class stuff. Throughout the trek, the guides and porters become a little family.

We went through the tough days, and spending all the time together bonds everyone. I found some new friends, both with fellow climbers and guides.

The reviews for these guys are all positive, and there is a reason for that. They take their time and do things right, and the feeling cannot improve.

You can book Khumbu trekking with these guys if you are deciding. If I return, there would be no other group; I would spend it only with them. Great job, guys.

EBc Trek - Trip of a lifetime

I thought I had uploaded my review at the end of my EBC trek. But on reminiscing six months later, I noticed it was missing. I have decided to challenge myself with the Everest trekking. I did the usual online searches, studying the various reviews.

Based on that, I chose Above The Himalaya Trekking and dealt with Puru by email. With a degree of trepidation, I met the taxi at Kathmandu airport. As discussed, from then on, my fears were gone as everything went as planned.

Puru’s hotel is an oasis within Kathmandu with lovely rooms (heaven after the trek). I chose to trek alone with a porter & guide (Kedar). He was fabulous and ensured that I was well looked after & paced the trek to my capability.

The trek was ‘out of this world’ with perfect weather most of the time. I had such a sense of achievement at the end of the Day. I had a few days left before my return flight.

Puru organized a 3-day safari trip to Chitwan National Park. It is worth it if you have time, including elephant treks. In summary – thanks, Puru, for organizing the whole trip!

Outstanding EBC Trek

If you want to go EBC Trek in Nepal, look no further than Above the Himalayas. Puru (an ex-guide himself) and his team made the experience fabulous. He ran like clockwork from the moment we arrived to drop him off.

We had our guide and porter between the two of us. We paid pretty much the same as other larger groups who had to carry their stuff. They include our meals. Inclusion, like other groups we met, had no restrictions on what we could order.

When we returned to Lukla, the weather had closed for several days. Mr. Puru arranged for a helicopter to get us out, which was an extra ($200). It was much cheaper than if we had tried to set it ourselves. All in all, 5*

EBC Trek in August

Puru was very helpful in organizing the trek through email. EBC Trek was a brilliant experience! Our guide and sherpa made everything possible.

They kindly posted our certificates and T-shirts to us after we had flown home. Would recommend!

Awesome EBC Trek with guide Sitaram

After googling various Nepal-based trekking agencies for our EBC trek, I’m so glad we went with Puru and Above the Himalayas. From my first emails inquiring about the package.

All went great to the end of our trip to Kathmandu. We were delighted with the professionalism and level of love our guide, Sitaram- what a lovely guy. He was professionally friendly, looked after us the whole EBC trek, and pushed us when needed.

It is excellent to learn about Nepal from him. With this company, everything is taken care of. All we had to do was get ourselves walking every day! As for the EBC trek itself, it is phenomenal. Don’t hesitate to do it!!

Ensure you drink 4 liters of water daily, eat garlic soup, and take altitude pills. I would recommend Above the Himalayas without a doubt!!

Unbelievable EBC Trek in more ways than one

There is no more accurate measure of a man or an organization than to see how they manage in a crisis.

The excursion to EBC Trek was item #1 on my Bucket List. No words can pay homage to the spectacular beauty of the Himalayan mountains. It is the quality of service that Puru T. and his staff provided.

On the way back from the EBC trek, I was stricken in the middle of the night. I got a little sick and felt acute dehydration. The net effect was that I could not carry on and was in a remote tea house in Pangboche.

Our guide contacted Puru in Kathmandu. Within hours, Peru had arranged an emergency helicopter evacuation. I came by ambulance from the Kathmandu airport to the hospital, where I met Puru.

He expedited all the paperwork and came by many times to check in on me. Even upon my release, he retrieved my luggage and took me back to the airport.

I cannot say enough about how much care and hospitality these guides provide. I can’t thank Puru and his organization enough.

It was a National Holiday in Nepal during this, and yet Peru was able to pull it all together. Thank you, Peru and Above The Himalayas

His quick response time went from a few minutes to a few hours. He answered all our questions. We immediately knew this was a company committed to its clients.

Thanks Puru and team for the memorable EBC trek

My husband and I did the EBC  Trek in September with Above the Himalayan Trekking. We were immediately impressed with the response time of Mr. Puru Thimalsena, the MD of the company.

His quick response time is from a few minutes to a few hours. He answered all our questions patiently. We immediately knew this was a company committed to its clients.

We were also delighted with the professionalism of our guide – Mr. Basu Duwadi & our porter – Chandru. Overall, we are so happy to have decided to trek with ATHT.

It was a memorable and excellent trek, thanks to Mr. Puru and his team. We would do my next EBC trek with the same company.

EBC Trek a life time experience

It was a great EBC trek experience, the first EBC trek/hike I’d ever been on. The leading tour guide, Ramhari, was exceptional. The assistant guides were brilliant (amount and Romesh, spelling incorrect ).

The accommodation was what you could expect for a hike in the Himalayas. Guides had it tough with a massive group with a wide range of abilities. I recommend trying and getting it on Ramhari’s tour if you can.

EBC trek in November

As the organizer for my trip to Nepal, Puru was very efficient. Apart from arranging the EBC trek, he helped me organize a trip to Chitwan National Park. He helped me get my bus tickets to Pokhara. He also helped me sort out the reconfirmation of my plane tickets.

All Trekking Permits (TIMS) involve a bureaucratic process to get on time. When you are on holiday, you do not want to hassle with it. With his help smoothing out all these, I enjoyed my stay in the majestic country of Nepal. He provides me with an excellent guide.

It was a fascinating EBC Trek and Kala Pattar. My guide, Narendra, made the trip even more memorable with me. He was a good companion on the trek.

He made sure I was always warm and comfortable. (it is super cold for an Asian up there) and he always knew the comfortable lodges to choose from.

He even advised me on my food, depending on the freshness of the ingredients. That’s why I had a good pizza in Gorakshep and a delicious dhal bhat in Namche.

I did not have to worry about the nitty-gritty details of the EBC trek because it was all arranged. I cut short my trek for two days, and there were no problems with flight tickets with Nahendra and the agency’s help.

It is a primary concern for single-woman travelers looking for trekking guides. But I will recommend Nahendra.

Honest, knowledgeable service even during a pandemic

One always worries whether a trekking company is being honest or not. One thinks about how much their markup is. But Puru Timalsena and Above the Himalayas were straightforward. They are simple, told me where not to spend extra, though it would have benefitted him, and did a great follow-up.

I have used Above the Himalayas for two trips. The first in 2019 to visit Upper Mustang for the Tiji festival. The second in November 2020 for the EBC Trek /Khumbu region. While living in Nepal, I tried to do some of the groundwork for myself.

But with someone as knowledgeable as Puru at the help, that was a mistake.

He even helped us with a hotel I tried to arrange alone. He helped us gather reliable information. He helped to get my wife back to Nepal during the pandemic after she had to leave with only a regular tourist visa.

In both cases, he helped without any more commission, which you wouldn’t find in a country like Nepal. His arrangements and advice were always spot on. I recommend Above the Himalayas.”

Best guide for EBC Trek.

Above the Himalayas organized a grand tour from the beginning to the end. Having a lot of questions before the trip, Puru provided all the answers.

They provide the group with a very experienced tour guide. Mr. Purna was a pleasant, easy-going, solid, and reliable guide. His knowledge of the surrounding mountains and Nepal was vast. Omit EBC Trek was a fantastic trip, and I recommend Puru and this team.

Fantastic trek to Everest base camp highly recommended

The EBC trek was fantastic! The Jiri to Lukla section shows you authentic sights in rural Nepal. Dipak, my guide, handed over everything and was happy to answer any questions.

He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of trekking in the Everest region. He is an excellent company to all, and it was a very enriching and fulfilling experience.

I will use Above the Himalayas when I return to Nepal.

Trip of a life time thanks to my guide and porters

Above The Himalayas, Puru is a true professional, gentleman, and businessman. Dhurba is among them—the most courteous, attentive, respectful, and knowledgeable guide.

Mr Basu is an eager-to-learn, patient, caring, and humble porter. With all the qualities of the young guide, make this team the best. Nepal has to offer in the Himalayan world not only EBC Trek but also adventure travel.

After my trip to the EBC trek, I craved more and liked that. , I was diving off a bridge over 160 meters in the thick of a beautiful jungle. The class and dedication everyone provided are excellent.

I am bringing an experience of safety and pure enjoyment. My heart goes out to these guys for making an extraordinary moment in my life even more profound. Thank you!

Best trekking adventure to Everest base camp

Here, at the end of the EBC trek. We are pleased with the Above the Himalayan Trekking service. , from when we were picked up at the airport to drop off. The trekking is to climb Kala Pathar and visit Everest Base Camp.

Returning to Kathmandu, we are happy with our guide, Dhurba, and porter, Pralhad.

This was a fantastic experience as a physical challenge and cultural learning.

We recommend Above the Himalayas, Trekking.
