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.
