We had an incredible lifetime experience Trek to Everest Base Camp Mountain Ascend Treks. The trekking was well-organized, and our guide Lax was exceptional. His knowledge of the region, attention to detail, and genuine care for our well-being made the journey truly memorable. Lax expertise in managing the altitude and pacing the trek ensured that we acclimatized well and enjoyed every moment. The stunning landscapes, combined with Lax guidance, made this a trekking of a lifetime. Highly recommended!"Show more

Look no further! This is the company that you want. I’m a very experienced traveller, and I am SO impressed! They cover trekking and biking in Nepal. I went on a trek to Base Camp, then on to a High Pass, and back, we also did a few days in Kathmandu. Pleasingly they maintained safety as their highest priority. Then it was trekkers’ enjoyment/satisfaction/health as their second highest priority. Everyday started and ended with a smile. I don’t speak Nepali; their guide’s English was excellent, and even the porters (who were ethnically Sherpa) had more than enough for friendly interactions. I knew our gear was in safe hands. The distance they asked us to trek each day was sensible and achievable. The places they (carefully) chose for us to stop had wonderful food, very needed after a day’s trek. They were clean and staffed by the friendliest hosts that I’ve stayed with. Naturally the higher you go the more basic the accommodation, but you have to except that in the mountains. The guides being local really knew the mountain, and had lots of info to impart. One thing I particularly liked about our guide was how he monitored our well being. If he noticed an individual was sluggish he quietly checked on them. Altitude sickness can come on quickly, so this extra touch was very reassuring. When one my friends fell, the guide got to him in milli-seconds to assist, I still can’t believe how fast he was. Payments systems and communication before the trip were professional, as an extra bonus their website has so much useful information. Do read it. They really went over and above what you would expect from a trekking company, 5 stars is not enough. I 100% recommend them.Show more
