I recently finished the Everest base camp trek with Tilak from Nepal Everest base camp trekking company. bishnu put a great itinerary for me that perfectly matched the time I had available and helped me check all my gear before departure. The trek was amazing. If you’re considering the Everest view trek, I’d strongly encourage you to add Everest base camp to the itinerary, it was the highlight of my trek, with stunning scenery, beautiful people and incredible Tibetan Buddhist culture with Mountain View of the mt Everest. Our guide was experienced, knowledgeable, patient and kind. I got quite sick with a bad cold or flu and chest infection early on the trek which lasted for most of the period and he made sure I got plenty of rest and was flexible with the itinerary to accommodate my energy levels while still allowing me to complete the trek as scheduled. I fully recommend this trek, this company, and my friend and guide.

with Bishnu and his team, we feel very comfortable.
From the beginning Bishnu made sure all the things was well taken care of and that I saw what to expect on the trip. In the morning, we drop of airport for our mountain flight by helicopter at the airport. It was start from Kathmandu at 6:00 and it was continue to lukla and after short stop at lukla it continue to pheriche and overflight at Everest base camp and khumbu glacier area. We had a short breakfast break at the Everest view hotel like a 1 hours and we flew back to Kathmandu. Bishnu and his team provide pickup and dropoff at the airport and we feel very comfortable with his team.
All of our group suggested to Buddhi that they should add an overnight stay to their package. It was an amazing experience. The way they took care of use shows how much they are committed to customer service.
