In April 2013 i embarked on the adventure of my lifetime with a company called Sherpa Holidays. The adventure was the Everest base camp and Gokyo valley trek over a period of 2-3 weeks in the Khumbu region of the Himalayas. Our trekking guide Passang Geljen Sherpa and his team were highly professional and committed to ensuring that this would be a trip we would value and cherish for the rest of our lives. The team was always up before us in the morning and went to bed after us each night ensuring everything ran like clock work. The Accommodation and meals provided were always great and the trekking spectacular and well paced with a high guide to walker ratio. Passang and his team of guides were great company and happily introduced us to their friends and family along the way which helped immerse us their world for the time that we were there. During the trek they also helped organise a birthday party for one of our members ( chocolate doughnut cake at 3500m ), Assisted with one members marriage proposal to his partner on the summit of Gokyo Ri 5360m ( successful )and introduced us to an Everest expedition crew about to try for a summit attempt, who invited us in for tea at Everest base camp 5364m. Even upon completion of the trek when we were back in Kathmandu the team were kind enough to invite us to a BBQ and teach us climbing skills at an indoor climbing center all in their own time. The average trekking company would not go this above and beyond to please their customers. If you are unsure of which company to choose from then rest assured Sherpa Holidays will provide you with an experience you will trade for no other.
