Memorable and Unbelievable Journey
Climb to Pikey Peak was an adventurous moment of a lifetime. The amazing crew of Nepal Everest base camp makes our journey memorable and unbelievable. Did Not expect to have such a wide scenery of Everest, Makalu and many more. Nepal Everest base Camp manages and planned our 12 days package tour. And I am totally satisfied with their quality service. They took us to a local cafe to try authentic Sherpa dishes my favorite was cheesecake and yak butter milk tea. Please visit Nepal and explore this heaven once in a lifetime.
