For almost 7 years I was my trip to Nepal postponing time and again. I am an admirer of mountains and natural beauty. Moreover, I love to hike around the captivating mountains. There is no place as ideal as Nepal for any kind of trekking or hiking activities. However, I was stalling my trek to Nepal. Finally, in the spring season of 2023, I went on the lifetime journey of Everest Base Camp Trek. Luckily, I found a great companion for this much-awaited adventure, the Nepal High Trek. After lots of searching on the internet, I decided to go with the team of Nepal High Trek. I had a wonderful trekking experience in Nepal. Let me share “My Experience of Everest Base Camp Trek with Nepal High Trek.
Upon arrival in Nepal, I was greeted by Mr. Anjan, the owner of the Nepal High Trek the trekking agency based in Nepal. The trip briefing was top-notch notch followed by the best arrangement of a cozy hotel in downtown Thamel. The evening dinner in the Nepalese cultural restaurant is the biggest highlight of the day. My flight to Lukla was early in the morning. The biggest concern that I had was the arrangement of all the tickets and permits. However, Mr. Anjan carried out very professionally, and by the time of dinner, all the gear, permits, and tickets were on my table.
I had heard that the best memory of any trip depends upon the type of travel agency that you choose. On my first night in Kathmandu, I patted my own back in finding the best trekking agency for my trek to Everest Base Camp.
Early in the morning, my guide Shyam (assigned by Nepal High Trek) picked me up from my hotel Thamel Park and we headed to the airport. The airport was already bustling as most of the mountain flights take place early in the morning to avoid weather difficulties. The flight to Lukla airport is considered the most extreme among high-altitude flights. Therefore, I was anxious at the same time excited to board the plane.
It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my lifetime. The twin otter plane that I boarded glided through the narrow canyon as if the wing may touch the hill on either side. The pilot announced that we were landing shortly but I couldn’t get the sight of the runway. As the plane landed on the small airstrip with the uphill runway, I gasped and at the same time relieved. It was a truly exciting experience.
The itinerary of my Everest Base Camp Trek followed the classic style of trekking. My physical condition and lack of experience are the reasons why Mr. Anjan came up with the conservative classical trekking style at Everest Base Camp. There were 2 acclimatization rest days along the way. The mountains are breathtaking and the landscape is awe-inspiring. However, I met numerous solo trekkers and group trekkers who had bad experiences with Everest Trekking due to poor management. Interestingly I was given the royal treatment of my staff even if I paid a reasonable amount of money for the trek. The price of the trek I paid is found everywhere on the internet.
Therefore, let me point out “My Experience of Everest Base Camp Trek with Nepal High Trek” in the following things:
My Trek to Everest Base Camp was in the spring season. Naturally, there were lots of trekkers. This time of the year is the peak season of trekking in Nepal. Therefore, I was worried about the type of accommodation and food that I would be getting during the trek. However, my guide followed the exact itinerary and plans prepared by Mr. Anjan from Nepal High Trek. We were getting attached to the bedroom all the way up to Dingboche. The place is where I spent two nights for the second time during my trek. The first two nights I spent in Namche Bazaar. Beyond Dingboche, I spent two nights. One night was in Lobuche and the other was in Gorakshep (5180m). It’s the highest tea house in the world and it’s the last village on the Everest Base Camp Trek trail).
The food was so tasty. You can get to order from the Choice Menu which has interestingly continental, Indian, and local Nepalese cuisine. Therefore, I changed my food choices at every meal. The tastier and recommended one is the Dal Bhat (Nepali Staple Diet).
Over 2 dozen mountains are on the trekking trail of the Everest Base Camp Trek. If you are looking for the mountain wilderness, it is an ideal choice to do the EBC Trek. The most noticeable mountains seen on the trail are Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Amadablam, Cholatse, Tabuche, Pumori, Lobuche, Makalu, and Thamserku. Relish the chance to knit the beautiful Himalayan memories. These sparkling peaks are the major attraction of the trip and you can walk around the magnificent Himalayas of Nepal.
One of the major highlights of the trip was reaching the Everest Base Camp (5364 m). It was my top priority list on the bucket list of things to do in my life. Therefore, it was exciting. The sight of the foothills of the world’s tallest mountain Mt. Everest is truly blissful. Moreover, interacting with the climbers stationed in the base camp to climb the mountain was another fruitful experience.
The early morning hike to Kalapathar for the sunrise view was the most momentous. I could clearly see the Mt. Everest top brightened by the rays of the morning sun. It was one of the most remarkable sights of my life. However, the Kalapathar (5545m) vantage point is the highest elevation and most captivating place to embrace of Mount Everest view.
Finally, the chance to encounter the Sherpa people and experience the diverse vegetation to wildlife in the midst of the Himalayan sanctuary, the Everest Base Camp Trek is must to do trek in Nepal. I had so much fun in the Everest region of Nepal.
The most exciting thing to do in Nepal is trekking. Moreover, the Everest Base Camp Trek is at the top of the list. However, if your trip management is not up to the mark, everything may turn sour. Therefore, you must hire professionals to do the high-altitude trekking, especially in the Everest region. Nepal High Trek led by Mr. Anjan is professional from the beginning to the end of the trip. At an affordable cost, you will get the impeccable hospitality. The major feature of this company is that you can get services beyond expectations.
The hassle-free trek is the best. Therefore, my experience of Everest Base Camp Trek with Nepal High Trek was hassle-free and momentous. I highly recommend the agency to do any kind of trekking in Nepal. Lastly, very thrilled to be back for Everest Three High Passes Trek and Gokyo Lake Trek the next year and I wish again to mortgage into the brilliant Khumbu Himalas of Nepal.
