AN UNFORGETTABLE TREK TO EVEREST BASE CAMP
2nd April 2013 -----17th April 2013
I have been home a month now from my trek to Everest Base Camp. Booked through Adveture Treks Nepal. The whole trip and experience went like clockwork from the moment we arrived in Kathmandu and left 16 days later. Met at the airport by Gyan Karki ( Managing Partner) we drove off to our hotel through the hustle bustle streets of Kathmandu . Already you are feeling good as you talk about 'the trek' and the personal service you get from a smaller company. The following morning we are met early at the hotel by Gyan who introduces us to Ramesh our guide and at 29 and more than half our age we set off for the flight to Lukla. From here Ramesh is the leader. Telling us the flight has been delayed for an hour, checking our baggage in and general ensuring all is ok. The whole trek Ramesh had everything under control from booking the Tea Houses we stayed at as we moved up the valleys, to bringing us menus and our meals, ensuring we did those important acclimatisation days, letting us walk at our pace but getting to our daily destination in good time, taking those important rest breaks, discussing a change to our days walk as we were making very good time ,making sure we were up in the morning, laughing at our jokes and being 'one of us'. You knew you were in a safe pair of hands.
We should not forget Balaram our young 20 year old porter. He carried our 2 main bags and his own ( 40kgs). Always with a huge smile and always at our destination before us.
On returning to Kathmandu we were met by Gyan who returned with us to the hotel for a de- brief on our trip and 'what can we do to make the experience better', what was good and what could be better. Again it's that personal service that makes the difference.
We spent another 2 days seeing , smelling and listening to the sounds of Kathmandu before Gyan picked us up from the hotel and the drive back to the airport.

Comments: Dear All,
Thank you very very much for your welcome-back email: We returned back home with beautiful beautiful memories. It was an amazing time, we feel so lucky that we had you and the whole Wild Guanabana (Adventure Treks Nepal) team preparing us so well, and Gyan and Shangam in Nepal to guide us. We felt always so well taken care of. Also, we must tell you, that this trip got us hooked now on hiking, climbing and trekking. We are super inspired and motivated now to climb even higher altitudes, probably we will try out some peaks in the Alps first and then return to Himalaya to do the next challenge:
Thank you again for all your support and Katha and I both think, that Wild Guanabana rocks!
Comments: "We had the most amazing time ! The company was so professional from start to finish. The people are the kindest and most generous we have ever met. We didn't want to leave the country and wish we had booked a longer trip."
Comments: Namaste Gyan & Gyanendra,
I apologise for not writing sooner but have had trouble with my computer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank both you and Khll (our porter) for the outstanding organisation and support you showed us on our recent trek. We have had trouble expressing to friends and family exactly how amazing our trip was and have suggested that they get out there and see the beautiful Nepalese countryside for themselves .
During our trek you kept us informed on the times taken for our daily travel (even though we were not the quickest), the things we would see and the challenges we would face each day. At the end of each day you had chosen the best room availble and had dinner on and drinks at the ready.You made treking the Annapurna Base Camp an unforgetable experience, one we would both happily do with you again should the chance come by.I have recommended Adventure Treks Nepal to all our friends.
Thank you for the photos you sent of Stephen and myself.
I hope you, Khil and your families are well and hope to see you again.
Kind Regards
Lorriane & Stephen Thorley
Comments: Dear Gyan,
It took some time – finally we are writing back and sending the testimonials.
We did the Annapurna Dhaulagiri (Khayer Lake) Trekking 09 Days end of march. "Adventure Treks Nepal is the best company we ever did a trekking tour with! Perfect tour, perfect organisation – everything worked out even better than we expected! We enjoyed the Himalaya, the snow topped mountains and the journey with our very good guide Shambu and the porters! The accomodations were always nice and good choosen with perfect mountain views. We loved the dal bhat and the apple pies."
Greetings,
Kathrin und Christine, Markus und Marco.
Comments: My Everest Base camp trek with Adventure Treks Nepal was a life time memory and an unforgettable experience. When planning Gyan was very accommodating and flexible with how I wanted to run my trek, and also managed to find me a trekking partner to do this with. Both my porter and guide were great company to be around the entire 12 days, knowledgeable of every mountain in the Himalayas, their was nothing they didn't know. I was fed well, slept well and felt at home in the lodges. Making it the top on the final day to both Base Camp and Gorakshep proved to be my most challenging point and I know I would not have made it to the top without the amazing support of my guide who pushed me to my absolute limits when I was at breaking point. A total sense of accomplishment came to me once I made it the top.
Thinking of coming back in 2014!

Nepal Part1: A Life Changing Journey with Wild Guanabana, Omar Samra And My Fantastic Group Of Trekking buddies…
Posted by Ritta & Group TT on March 24th, 2013
What an amazing bunch of people I trekked with in Nepal, Poonhill…
Being someone who loves to travel alone, I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised (and lucky I must add ) to have found myself enjoying a week of action, adventure, suspense, comedy and thrill in the midst of a group of 18 uniquely different and cool spirited people.
From my cool light-spirited friends H and R .. to Nina, Karim, Cherine and Omar whom I first met at the airport and they were already all smiles…..
To a Dal-Bahted Dory and totally laid-back and awesome couple Mohamed and Ines…
To each of Amr, Lobna, Sarah, Munthir, Sherif and Riham…
To Heba, the fantastic Mum of that 11 yr old witty smart and funny young man, Abboudy, who was one of the many highlights of my trip… my trekking buddy who touched my heart in so many different ways..
To Fady, the nice guy who is always looking after everybody… ( my saturday Durbar Square buddy, my credit card is doing well :) )
Those names that meant nothing to me when I first read Wild Guanabana's pre-trip introduction message, now each of them flash an image in my head that puts a smile on my face :)
From the fast to the slow, from the funny to the eccentric, the statistics-calculator-head to the athletic, the wise to the witty, the sleepy-head to the relaxed, the casual to the chic, the kama-sutra freak to the massage freak, the stand-up comedian to the Dal-Bath hero :) each with their own special and unique character yet all smily, friendly and fun…
Wild GUANABANA ( http://www.wildguanabana.com/ ) had promised us a life changing experience and a life changing experience indeed it was… Yet, for me it wasn't thru the awesomeness of nature, nor the beautiful sceneries or the never ending staircases to heaven or the majestic highlighted peaks at sunrise or the unique charming guest houses with no showers or the squatting toilets ( best leg/gluteus-exercise toilets :) ) My life changing experience with Wild GUANABANA was thru my trekking buddies… the 18 members of the group… positive or negative, I took back home with me a souvenir from each of them…
After 10 days in Nepal, I was sad to leave, not for the geographical part of the trip but for the inner calmness and serenity that this whole journey had brought me..
Keep smiling my trekking buddies :D
Until we meet again…
Ritta
