Although I am 73 years, I'm keeping in shape and preparing for a trek by hiking in the mountains of Colorado, recently at altitudes of 12,500' and plan to summon Mount Elbert this summer, 14, 434'. In addition I plan to spend the 3 months prior to this trek in Cuenca Ecuador (8,800') with hikes into the surrounding Andes mountains at elevations up to 15, 000'. Please consider an age exception, or otherwise recommendation for a trek.

As you are preparing and giving your best with the training, we support and recommend this EBC trek for you. Our team, before, during, and after the trek, will support you during this adventure. We do recommend you to get insurance, just in case.

Fantastic experience. Way beyond what I would have expected from a tour operator. Naba and Rishi helped plan everything very professionally and mindfully of the requirements of a large and diverse group. The trek itself was obviously stunning and the overall Nepali cultural experience was something I'll never forget, all thanks to these guys. I have been back to Nepal many times since, and always join them for a trip to a new part of this incredible country.Show more

I picked Himalayan Planet Adventures for the 16 day Everest basecamp adventure, because of their excellent reputation. Every step from booking to reaching basecamp went smoothly. Very professional company to work with. The owners of the company are always available to answer questions and are always in contact, even when on the trek. My guide Hari knew the mountains and the area. He was great to be around, fun too talk to. He kept an eye on how you were doing on the trek, weather it was taking your time to properly acclimatize or too make sure you had your meals and stayed hydrated. There was never any rush, I stopped when I needed to rest or take pictures. My best trip ever !!!Show more
