Great Experience

28th October, 2019

We had a great time in Nepal and amazing experience!! All the prep and communications were with Dev who is extremely knowledgeable, polite and has lot of patience to answer questions (and I trust me I had a lot of them!). We trekked the Everest Base Camp with Mr. Ram as a guide (Dev’s partner). He was very experienced, knew everyone along the way, he could probably do the trek with his eyes closed and we felt safe and welcome in the places we stayed on this trek. When I got sick, both him and our porter (Sushan) took good care of me.

In addition, after the trek, we visited both Dev’s and Mr. Ram’s families, had homemade Nepalis traditional food – it was delicious! Both kept in touch after the trek till this day.
If you want a no hassle, enjoyable, safe, and hospitable experience you cannot go past Dev and his team!! They are the best; I would highly recommend exploring Nepal and trekking with them. They can find a trek suitable for your needs. Amazing! Thanks for everything, Guys!!

Himalayan adventure trek

30th October, 2018

I want to thank Ram of mountain eco tours for the extra care above and beyond that expected. Our backpacks for the everest base camp were delayed several days and we were 3 days into the trek before they arrived in kathmandu. Ram spent significant time coordinating their delivery to us while on the trek by utilizing porters to get our gear to us. In addition having a local guide with contacts enabled us to exit lukla by helicopter when many other travellers were stranded awaiting the cloud to clear. Some had been waiting several days and had missed their international flights but we were extracted the same day as our scheduled flight at minimal expense. Ram pays close attention to all trekkers and constantly monitors their health and well being. Both Ram and his porters are welcoming and they feel part of our extended trekking family. I have no hesitation in recomnending them to anyone who would like a safe, authentic Nepalese experience.

Professional, fun, amazing

20th December, 2022

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!

Great Trek to EBC and Kathmandu Tour!!!

10th May, 2017

My wife and I had the pleasure to have Ram guide us up the mountain last summer. We did a 12 day trek. We really didn't have to do much besides hike. Ram arranged the flights, got us to and from the airports in Kathmandu and Lukla, arranged all of the overnight stays, all meals, and had a porter to carry our duffel bags. He made the whole experience as easy as possible for us. We met other couples trekking without guides and they were all exhausted and most of them had bats of food poisoning. Each meal we had Ram would tell us what is safe to eat and what would make us sick so we never had to worry about it. He also introduced us to delicious ra-ra noodles and buffalo momos! He also showed us around Kathmandu for a couple days. I am sure we would not have had nearly as good of a trip if it was not for Ram. Hopefully we can get back to Nepal in the next few years so we can have Ram guide us to Annapurna Base Camp!

Everest Base Camp Trek

18th 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!

We recommend retaining basic physical and mental fitness to climb the Gokyo Lake Everest Base Camp trek. Gokyo Lake Everest Base Camp Trek is a challenging trek you would walk through the uphill and downhill trail covering highland living Sherpa Villages as well as rocky path. It does not demand any technical skills. Even trekkers without any experience can do the trek with proper training and preparation.

Of course, a challenging factor of the Gokyo Lake Everest base camp trek is the altitude but we mountain eco treks designed for a risk-free Altitude sickness trek itinerary.

You can store it at your hotel (most hotels in Kathmandu have storage facilities without any charge)

in the last few decades where most of the rural villages do have proper communication wither by cell- phone (mobile our guides will be in touch with the head office through their cell phone. Sometimes Cell-Phone does work and don'ts as Nepal is a hilly and mountainous country with a deep gorge and valley, where cell phone works on high hills, and might not when in a deep gorge hidden by hills and mountains. The chances of a working cell phone are most positive you can try using a local popular SiM card.

There are most of the guesthouses on the Gokyo Lake Everest Base Camp trek, which provide Wi-fi facilities at a small cost. However, don’t forget the cellular network in the mountain is poor, and it doesn’t work very properly it keeps disconnecting every minute.

Nearly all lodges on trekking do have small hydro or solar electricity, as for other accessories plugs to fit into re-charge your camera and cell phones, which allows you at extra cost to charge the batteries and your electronic device.

Accommodation is basic at a higher altitude. You will be staying at a teahouse or calls a guest house that offers food and accommodation for all the trekkers. A typical room has two beds on either side, with a small table in the middle. Beds are equipped with a mattress, pillow, and blanket; however, you may use your sleeping bag in addition to the blanket when it gets cold. The dining room in a teahouse is usually a warm temperate with fire. Hot showers are available throughout the trek. Our package includes and private, free hot shower in Namche.

Mountain eco treks provide water purification tablet which is safe for a drink. Bottled water is easily available during the whole trip, on this trek, we try to avoid plastic mineral waters due to waste and un eco-friendly, people can buy bottled water only in special and desperate situations. We highly recommended to you that it is better to carry a thermos with boiled and filtered water. You may need to use water purification tablets, Additionally, mineral water gets very expensive above Namche Bazar, rising to five times the original price due to high transportation costs.

There is no age limit; you can do this if you are not suffering from any disease Of course, it will be challenging for young children under 10 and people over 70 years old but if you are in good shape and have strength and endurance training, cardio workout, and hiking in your local mountains before the trek then surely you will do it Gokyo Lake Everest Base Camp trek.

On treks, If the illness is mild a trekker can continue onward provided, they have rested and are feeling better. if you become seriously ill our guide will contact the head office for immediate medical evacuation by other means of transport with helicopter service for quick recovery. For quick and immediate evacuation, one should obtain a medical insurance policy to cover all medical, travel, and Heli evacuation when required in such situations. For AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) getting the victims downhill to a much safer elevation and putting the patient on Gamma / Pressure Bags, we do carry Oxygen for the normal emergency purpose for severe cases heading Down-Down and Down or immediate evacuation in Helicopter to Kathmandu.

For sure we run several small group-joining treks with fixed departure dates, which travelers are able to join with another group on your suitable date.

Travel insurance is an important comprehensive package for the Gokyo Lake Everest base camp trek. Travel insurance is essential for incidental expenses during travel. It reduces financial risks and protects travelers from certain losses. Travel insurance covers necessary medical expenses and emergency air rescue during the trip. We strongly recommend travel insurance for your protection.

If the flight is delayed or canceled, the alternative option is to board the next day's flight. It is almost certain that there will be no flight to Lukla in the afternoon due to weather changes. As you may know, the weather in Lukla is very unpredictable, only can fly to Lukla when the weather is clear and favorable. Another option is to go by helicopter to Lukla if the flight is canceled, but it is very expensive at above USD 500 depending on the sharing.

Our itinerary is very flexible when you contact us to plan your trip, we will make the best arrangement according to your wishes. By choosing a time that is suitable for you, you can ensure your personal journey.

The route to Everest Base Camp is usually very crowded during the high season (spring and autumn) September to Nov and March to May. Due to the extreme climate and temperature, the number of visitors is less during winter and monsoon. But there will be no problem for tourists to eat and stay even though it is very crowded.

You should bring all the trekking equipment you need yourself. Trekkers can bring equipment from their hometown, but their costs can be high, so buying them from local shops in Thamel Kathmandu is the right decision. There are some shops that also rent essential hiking gear for a small price. We will provide you with a duffel bag. You can see the checklist of the required materials on the company's website or you can contact us at mountainecotrek@gmail.com

Great Experience

28th October, 2019

We had a great time in Nepal and amazing experience!! All the prep and communications were with Dev who is extremely knowledgeable, polite and has lot of patience to answer questions (and I trust me I had a lot of them!). We trekked the Everest Base Camp with Mr. Ram as a guide (Dev’s partner). He was very experienced, knew everyone along the way, he could probably do the trek with his eyes closed and we felt safe and welcome in the places we stayed on this trek. When I got sick, both him and our porter (Sushan) took good care of me.

In addition, after the trek, we visited both Dev’s and Mr. Ram’s families, had homemade Nepalis traditional food – it was delicious! Both kept in touch after the trek till this day.
If you want a no hassle, enjoyable, safe, and hospitable experience you cannot go past Dev and his team!! They are the best; I would highly recommend exploring Nepal and trekking with them. They can find a trek suitable for your needs. Amazing! Thanks for everything, Guys!!

Himalayan adventure trek

30th October, 2018

I want to thank Ram of mountain eco tours for the extra care above and beyond that expected. Our backpacks for the everest base camp were delayed several days and we were 3 days into the trek before they arrived in kathmandu. Ram spent significant time coordinating their delivery to us while on the trek by utilizing porters to get our gear to us. In addition having a local guide with contacts enabled us to exit lukla by helicopter when many other travellers were stranded awaiting the cloud to clear. Some had been waiting several days and had missed their international flights but we were extracted the same day as our scheduled flight at minimal expense. Ram pays close attention to all trekkers and constantly monitors their health and well being. Both Ram and his porters are welcoming and they feel part of our extended trekking family. I have no hesitation in recomnending them to anyone who would like a safe, authentic Nepalese experience.

Professional, fun, amazing

20th December, 2022

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!

Great Trek to EBC and Kathmandu Tour!!!

10th May, 2017

My wife and I had the pleasure to have Ram guide us up the mountain last summer. We did a 12 day trek. We really didn't have to do much besides hike. Ram arranged the flights, got us to and from the airports in Kathmandu and Lukla, arranged all of the overnight stays, all meals, and had a porter to carry our duffel bags. He made the whole experience as easy as possible for us. We met other couples trekking without guides and they were all exhausted and most of them had bats of food poisoning. Each meal we had Ram would tell us what is safe to eat and what would make us sick so we never had to worry about it. He also introduced us to delicious ra-ra noodles and buffalo momos! He also showed us around Kathmandu for a couple days. I am sure we would not have had nearly as good of a trip if it was not for Ram. Hopefully we can get back to Nepal in the next few years so we can have Ram guide us to Annapurna Base Camp!

Everest Base Camp Trek

18th 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!
