We had a 15 days private tour to Everest Base Camp Trek with Eternal Himalaya adventure in late December. It was an wonderful and awesome trip! Our guide, Basu, is knowledgeable and he proactively take care of our need. The porter is very strong and he can still managed to take care of us while he was carrying 2 big backpacks. Also,ram and bipin always responded quickly to our email prior to the trip and he explained the trip in details when we had the preparation meeting in their office. We recommend to join trekking with eternal Himalaya adventure !
I went on the 12 day Everest Base Camp trek that included Kala Patthar. I had a wonderful experience. The guide and porters were amazing. The company was super flexible with our changing schedule.
