Amazing guide to EBC on a 10 day Trek
2nd April, 2018
In October 2017 we trekked to EBC with Ram as our guide. We met Ram the day before our trek, where he gave us all the information we required before we left for our Lukla flight at 5am the next morning. Ram ensured as a tour group we were organised to ensure we made the first flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Attention to detail was paramount with Ram from the beginning, even advising us to sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views as we fly towards Lukla.
Once we landed in Lukla we took breakfast and as a group began to get to know each other, as for the next 10 days we became a team.
Ram consistently monitored our health throughout the trek to ensure we had the best experience along the journey, from testing spO2 levels to our diet and sleep, this assisted us all having a great trek. The continuous monitoring of us ensured symptoms of Altitude Sickness were dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
We could not have been any happier with Ram and his skills, we look forward to returning to Kathmandu to trek again with Ram in 2020 where we will complete a longer trek. Ram is amazing and highly regarded and anyone that treks with Ram will have an amazing and safe trek!!
Well done and thank you Ram!

Nice people and great experience - Everest Base Camp
2nd April, 2018
Dev was our first contact, extremely polite and diligent. Once in Kathmandu, we met Ram who is Dev's business partner and was our guide during the trek, he is extremely knowledgeable of the circuit and was very helpful during all the trip in Nepal. Both of them kept in touch with us we appreciate the warm welcome and goodbye to Nepal.
Additionally, Babu (i think is spelled like that) was a great porter and very attentive too.
So you can be sure by booking with them that you will have a great experience.
Regarding the landscape, much more beautiful in person than in photographs. The culture, completely different to what we are used to, and the people, particularly in the mountain area, is really kind.

Everest Base Camp
1st May, 2018
Ram was our guide when I went for Everest Base Camp hike last year. He won our hearts right on the first day with his hospitality & good sense of humor. Through the hike he kept us all positivity encouraged. He made it a point to introduce us to some locals who had done Everest summit multiple times and always had good local tales to share during our hike. My daughter & husband went with him last month & experienced the same hospitality.
