Trekking to Everest Base Camp was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, both physically and mentally. It was tough. There were moments when I cried. Moments when without the encouragement of my guides and other group members I would have wanted to have given up. Moments when I was just overwhelmed by the beauty of my surroundings.  I did the trek with Intrepid, 15 days and I would recommend them. The benefit of doing it with a group is that you make friends and you all encourage each other. I did it tougher than most, eight weeks prior i was in hospital with pneumonia. But i made it and i learnt alot about myself and what strength of character  i have. If you ever have the opportunity to do this trek, it is worth it. It is amazing just to have set eyes on the world's highest mountain.

Mount Everest Base Camp has been a popular destination for trekkers since the very first expeditions to the Nepalese side of Everest in the 1950's. To reach this part of the Himalaya within a limited time, we have devised this two week trek to Everest Base Camp which runs directly to and from Lukla. The Everest Base Camp trek, a very well known mountain trek, follows the Dudh Kosi valley and climbs up to the Sherpa capital of Namche, a bustling bazaar that’s a junction for trekkers, the local Sherpa and expedition’s enroute to the mighty Mt. Everest. From Namche, we trek along a high traversing path where we have our first good views of Everest and then head towards Thyangboche Monastery, structurally located on a ridge-top with commanding views of the Everest landscape. We then descend to the Imja Khola and continue to the villages of Pangboche and Pheriche before finally approaching the Khumbu Glacier. We then follow the glacier, first to Lobuche, a vantage point for some spectacular views of the ‘Ama Dablam, Taweche and other peaks and then hike to Gorak Shep for a breather. We also have the opportunity to ascend Kala Pattar from where we can get some awesome views of the Himalayan giants that literally numb your senses with stunned admiration that beholds the eye; which makes up for the lung-bursting climb that took you up there. You soon realize it was absolutely worth it. This also includes fantastic views of the south west face of the colossal Mt. Everest. We then trek down to Everest Base Camp at the foot of the Khumbu ice fall before finally making our way back down to Lukla.

I went to the Base Camp of Mt Everest in Oct/Nov of1997. Mt Travel/Sobek organized the trip which was lead by Jamling Tenzing Norgay, son of Tenzing Norgay who along with Sir Edmund Hillary first summited Mt Everest in 1953. The total trip was about 25 days but we were trekking for 17 of those days in which we covered about 150 miles (75 in, 75 out) and went from 9,000 ft in Lukla to about 19,000ft (and back). Mt Travel/Sobek is a first class adventure company that organizes trips to everywhere in the world. Although you can easily go on a self-lead trip, I chose to go with a group because it would make the trip more fun, informative and less work, danger and not that much more money. The trip today is about $4,000 for 20 or so days (not including airfare). It turns out that having Jamling Tenzing Norgay lead our trip was the true highlight. He had summited Everest in the spring of '96 which is the "Everest Disaster" written about in "Into Thin Air". Jamling's insights into climbing, Buddhism, and Nepal made the experience not only a life-changing adventure but a remarkable learning experience. The most frequent question I have been asked about this trip relates to whether people think they could do it. I don't want to minimize the challenge of hiking 150 miles half of which is uphill but LOTS of people successfully make this trip. It is demanding but the trip is well-organized with frequent breaks. I found the experience to be more like a great hike and not a seemingly endless marathon. It was a life-changing experience for me and I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. Or go with Jamling to some of the other Himalayan trips he leads.

The first trek of my life was in Nepal,with my wife in 2005.Duration 3 weeks,Keshab( Director of Broad Adventure P. Ltd.) as our guide became a real friend and he was always ready to resolve any problem.Second time in 2008,again with my wife and Keshab of course.Even in cases of health problems,Keshab showed an outstanding behaviour!I hope to do my third trek this automn and I suggest you that his experience is enough for a safe and charming adventure with Broad Adventure (www.broadadventure.com/).After 6 years a great friendship created between us and nowdays he is much more than one of the best nepali guides!Wish you all,Gods of Nepal,always by your side.

I went to EBC in October 2010 and found it challenging. I also think there are way too many people on the trail as some people did not have a place to sleep and the squat toilets are very very filthy. I have been to a lot of countries and never seen the filth as in Nepal. I would say Kilimanjaro is better as it is more wild without hundreds of other tourists. This is just my own viewpoint. The mountains in Nepal are beautiful and I felt very safe and the guides were great but just too crowded. Mac Hoy
