WHAT THEY SAY?

"This trek was one of the best experiences of my life. I found it quite a challenge but it felt like such an accomplishment to reach the destinations everyday. The walk, views, weather and yaks were amazing. My guide, Krishna, helped me so much and gave me a lot of encouragement and the porter, Yadav was great too. It was fun with the giving of Nepali folk songs all the way. Thank you to Unique Adventure for the trip of lifetime."

A very enjoyable experience. Krishna took all the pain out of it. We spent 14 days doing the Everest Base Camp walk. During that time, we had undivided attention, and would recommend this company to anybody.

This was a last minute decision to hike to base camp, but Krishna helped us get ready and talked us through all the issues. He was very knowledgeable about altitude sickness, and we noticed that we were one of the few groups that didn't get sick. Krishna and our porter Rabindra were patient, always available, professional, encouraging when we felt tired and lots of fun to be with. All aspects of our trip were taken care of.
