Everest Base Camp Trek
27th April, 2018
We Took the EBC trek with Ram in June and it was amazing. He was very helpful and responsive when you are planing your trip and everyone knows that the guide on a trip like this can make or break your trek. For our trek we had a guide named Ram and he was amazing. We went during monsoon season so flights were hard to come by but Ram made sure that we got there by dealing with the airlines and the helicopter companies. He monitored us the whole way to make sure the altitude wasn't to much for us and any problem we had he fixed right away. We observed many different guides along the was and we wouldn't trade ram for anything. The views were amazing and Ram could answer any questions we had. I highly recommend Mountain Eco Treks and Expedition for all treks in Nepal and if you do use them ask for RAM!

Just go with flow. Trekking together with Ram (Owner of Mountain Eco Treks) you will leave Nepal as a friend. It is not only safe it's furthermore fun, full of joy and an authentic Nepal experience. Hiking side by side along some of the remotest path towards or in Himalaya region can literally bringing you back to peace and it's ceasing of your mind when you enjoying an spectacular view at 4800m or even higher altitude, sharing local Dhal Bat (don't dare to taste the real nepaliversion) incl. an Everest Beer and have some nice conversation about the past and the very present is an experience what I enjoying since more then 5 years now bc. of Ram. His more then 13 years lasting guiding experience will lead you to many more better places even of the beaten tracks due his many connections he has with almost everyone in that area plus he with his company takes care of his country thought sponsoring an orphanage in Kathmandu too.

EBC trek
26th June, 2017
My trip to Nepal and the trek to Everest base camp were pretty spontaneous. I got invited to join while I was Indonesia. Not an offer I could say no to. Unfortunately the group I was invited to join ended up not really being my preferred cup of tea. There was a bit of drama. But, thanks to Our guide Dev and his nephew Probin, I was able to focus on how rad they were and how amazing the trek was. By the time we reached base camp and prepared to head back down, Dev and I were the only two left in the group. The others had to head down early due to the affects of altitude. Just a matter of luck really. That was when I really discovered the meaning of “jam jam”. We jam jammed from EBC to Lukla In just a few days! We probably could have placed in the EBC marathon that’s was taking place at the time. We wanted to get down to the others as soon as possible. Dev was a great guide and used solid judgement when it came to pushing limits. He has been trekking the Himalayas since a young kid. He’s very savvy to the whole environment and the tole it can take on an individual. When it comes to locals, and whether or not they actually care about you, he’s one of the good ones. If you find yourself in a predicament that you’re not sure how to solve, he’s the man to help you. He can make things happen if needed.
Thank you Dev and Probin! I hope to see you again soon!

Professional, fun, amazing!

Ram and Neil led our group of 6 to Everest Base Camp and back safely and we had the time of our lives! Their knowledge of the area and ability to change plans as we needed made our trip smooth, fascinating and down right one of the best treks we have ever done. The guys were fun and joined in the laughs and were able to fix any issues swiftly along the way, including our lost luggage and cancelled flights!
I couldn't recommend this company more highly. You will be in good hands, I will be back for sure!

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.

Amazing EBC luxury Trek
19th May, 2025
We completed the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek in April with Mountain Eco Treks, and it was truly unforgettable. Our guide, Mr. Ram, made every moment exceptional through his expertise, care, and professionalism. The journey was seamless, inspiring, and memorable—thank you, Ram, for an extraordinary adventure!
Ram’s story is deeply inspiring. Starting as a porter at 18, he worked with honesty, determination, and passion to eventually become the owner of Mountain Eco Treks. His dedication and decades of trekking experience are evident in every detail of the journey, making each day seamless and enjoyable.
Throughout the trek, Ram ensured we stayed in the best lodges and guided us on proper meals to stay healthy. None of us fell ill, which made a huge difference. He also organized a perfectly timed helicopter flight from Gorakshep to Kathmandu, providing a scenic and smooth conclusion to our adventure.
From start to finish, the organization was flawless. We always felt safe, cared for, and fully supported. If you plan to trek in the Everest region, I highly recommend Mountain Eco Treks. Trekking with Ram is an experience you will never forget—truly exceptional from every perspective.
