Comments: "Me and two friends took the Everest Base Camp trek on the 6th of June as our summer holidays/jobs didnt allow us to go for the August option. We were a little worried before hand about if the monsoon would be coming in and if we would have any views of everest at all as we had heard conflicting reports about the weather in the begining of June. Anyway, we booked the trip with ease and got lots of interesting and useful information off Adventure Treks Nepal before our arrival. At kathmandu we were promplty picked up at the airport in what must be said as the most amazing 1970's mercedes there ever was and dropped off at our hotel. The next day we were given a great city tour of Kathmandu which served as a great opertunity to meet our guide for the next two weeks, Gyanendra. The tour was great and well planned. The next day we flew out to Lukla after a slight delay at the airport due to bad weather. After we touched down we had amazing views over the entire valley and started our climb to our first overnight stop. The next day was the trek to Namche, now this was tough. Very steep in some parts and a little uncomfortable if the weather is warm but the good thing was that it didnt take too long, it was only a short 3 hour climb. After a rest day in Namche we climbed up to our next acclimatising stop in Dingboche over the next few days. Here we climbed a "hill" on our rest day which was to introduce us to the effects of altitude and to allow us to aclimatise better. This was where i felt the effects of the thinner atmosphere the most. Basically I found it hard to walk more than 10 minutes without having to sit down. I felt sick and had a headache throughout the climb but it was worth it as it then allowed me to climb to out next stop over point, Lobuche, without any diffculty at all. Here we were truley in the mountains, as all around you were peaks of more than 25000ft right next to you. You felt dawarfed amongst them. The weather had also dramatically picked up, the sky was crystal clear and not too cold either (I was walking in a t-shirt most of the time). The next day was a toughy though. We hiked to Gorak Shep then went straight up Kallar Pathar (the highest point we go, 20000ft) for some fantastic views of Everest and the surrounding mountains. The weather was perfect and we couldnt of got luckier. The climb up Kallar Pathar was probably the hardest part of the whole trek though, as even though youve acclimatised its still difficult to get enough air into your lungs to make any worthwhile progress up the mountainside, so your always struggling to push on even though your body is screaming out for a break. Its definatly worth it though as its a view Im never going to forget. I mean im not one of those people who like to "push themselves to the limit", I like my comforts. But the sense of accomplishment on reaching that peak (i say its a peak but its tiny in comparison to the other mountains) is enormous. It was truely such an achievment. After that we went to the base camp itself. It wasnt really what i was expecting. Theres nothing there, not even a sign or something. It was great to get there but If anyone has to make a decision between base camp or Kallar Pathar, perhaps due to weather or illness or something, you should definatly choose Kallar Pathar. Without question. Anyway, that night one of my friends got quite ill with altitude sickness. Thankfully our guide Gyanendre was extreamly helpfull and prescribed some Diamox (they have a plentiful supply up there in the mountains) and some garlic soup, which seemed to do the job nicley. On the way down we decided to save time we would do a massive 30k to take us down to Namche in one day. Which, by the way, on the way up took us 6 days. That was tiring, as its not all downhill, the trail is very mixed with lots of ups and downs throughout. We made it however, all blistered and bruised. But we had our first shower in 9 days which made it all worthwhile! After that it was a short walk to Lukla where we stayed a night in relative comfort (they even have a fake starbucks!) then flew back to Kathmandu where we were treated to a fantastic complimentarry meal by our company with Gyanendre. It truely was an amazing experience which i would recomend to anyone, without a doubt. You dont need to be super fit, im not, and you dont need to be a crazy keen mountaineerer or hiker,im not. It probalbly helps, but its not nesessary. What you do need though is the determination and to have the physical will power to get you up there. Its not easy in some places and things invairably will not go to plan. Youll get sick (on that note, avoid ALL meat during your trip) and youll get grumpy but all of that pales into comparison to the elation youll feel when you finally make it, and you will make it. It will be fantastic and sometrhing which you'll never, ever forget.

Hats off to everybody who made our trip so special, especially to our guide Gyanendre who was simply amazing. Great fun and always smiling. All the best and enjoy your trip."

Comments: "Impeccable service in Kathmandu, even when we changed plans at the last minute. Our every need was accommodated. Similar service in Pokhara. Gyan our trek guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were looked after very well at each stop with great service. Even when I walked slowly I never felt rushed. The hotels we stayed in appeared to be the best choice in each Village. Staff in hotels were friendly. We were happy with the itinerary and appreciated Gyan's help. Overall a great service. We will recommend Adventure Treks Nepal to anyone. Thank you for a great experience!"

Comments: Sono oramai due anni che trascorriamo le nostre vacanze effettuando trekking in Nepal; abbiamo usufruito dei servizi dell'agenzia Adventure Treks Nepal (P). Ltd. con piena soddisfazione di tutti i partecipanti; non solo gli itinerari, i lodges, i portatori, sono stati di alto livello, ma soprattutto fra la nostra guida, Bhuwan (che tra l'altro sta continuando a studiare italiano e puo essere quindi molto utile a chi non padroneggia la lingua inglese) e l'organizzatore Gyan Karki, si e instaurato un rapporto direi di amicizia.

L'attenzione alle necessita di ogni singolo partecipante (il primo anno ha partecipato con il nostro piccolo gruppo un amico di 72 anni!!) e sempre stata ammirevole; l'organizzazione, dall'arrivo in aeroporto alla partenza, comprese le visite alla splendida vallata di Kathmandu, perfetta.

Il Nepal, per chi come noi ama le montagne, e un Paese meraviglioso e merita ben piu di un viaggio; la Adventure Treks Nepal (P). Ltd.. ci fa desiderare ogni volta di ritornare a scoprire altri itinerari. E infatti nell'ottobre del 2005 abbiamo gia organizzato quello che e forse uno dei piu bei trek del Nepal, il grande circuito dell'Annapurna.

Siamo certi che anche questa volta sara tutto organizzato alla perfezione. Lavoro da tanti anni nel settore turistico e assicuro che raramente un corrispondente non si presta a critiche: ma in questo caso non posso che ringraziare tutti i componenti dell'Adventure Treks Nepal per la loro professionalita, che si trasforma nella completa soddisfazione dei partecipanti.

E' con molto piacere quindi che mando questa lettera e resto a disposizione di chiunque mi voglia contattare per condividere questa meravigliosa esperienza nepalese.

Grazie ancora a tutti e arrivederci al prossimo anno!
