 Verified My Everest Trip has helped me to achieve my EBC dream..
Trekking the EBC with My Everest Trip is one of my best hiking experiences. The initial contact with Puru, owner of the company, was smooth. He always gave me timely responses even though there are about 12 hours of time difference. Puru also made sure we were well taken care throughout the whole trip. He was at Kathmandu airport to pick us up, sent us to the hotel; He was on phone with different airlines to secure us a flight to Lukla when our flight had technical issues. After we were back in Kathmandu, he provided us with a private car to have a day tour of the city. During the trekking, our guide Shree, with his extensive experience on the trails, suggested us to hike counter-clockwise, which was the opposite of my original plan. I am so glad I took this advice and made our 12-day EBC-ChoLa Pass- Gokyo trekking a success. He also provided micro spikes and warm mittens for us. Without micro spikes we would not have crossed Cho-La Pass. I would highly recommend My Everest Trip to anyone who has the dream of hiking in the Himalayas.

 Verified EBC- Our most rewarding hiking trip
Our 12-day hiking experience to EBC couldn’t be enjoyable without the help of our guide Shree and porter Mitra. Shree’s experience on the trail gave us good advice to hike counter clockwise, Namche- EBC- Cho-la Pass- Gokyo-Namche. Even though we had a few days of bad weather, We never had any problems, but enjoyed spectacular views of the Himalaya mountains, valleys, and the ecosystem. we would highly recommend Shree and My Everest Trip for anybody that want to experience Mount Everest camp hike.

 Verified EBC Trek, absolutely incredible!!!
I can’t say enough incredible things about My Everest Trip, especially Puru (the owner) and Shree (my guide). From the very beginning, Puru was unbelievably responsive—patiently answering what must have felt like a billion questions and making me feel completely confident and prepared before even arriving in Nepal. Shree, my guide, was absolutely exceptional. I’m not the fastest trekker, but he never once made me feel rushed. He walked at my pace, constantly checked on how I was feeling, and took my health very seriously—making sure I stayed safe and avoided altitude sickness. His encouragement and positivity kept me going on the toughest days, and I truly don’t think I would have made it to Base Camp without him. What really sets this team apart is how far above and beyond they go. They helped customize my trip so I could spend a night at the iconic Everest View Hotel, which ended up being one of the highlights of the entire experience. They also handled all logistics seamlessly—securing the best tea houses and lounges along the route so I was always comfortable. Shree even helped me track down a tattoo studio in Namche, which turned out to be the highest tattoo studio in the world—such a unique and unforgettable addition to the journey! When weather delays impacted flights, they acted quickly and got me onto the second helicopter out—something that made all the difference in catching my return flight while others were stuck on the mountain. As a solo traveler, I always felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Puru and Shree made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, turning what could have been a daunting experience into something unforgettable. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and as someone who isn’t exactly in peak physical shape, I’m incredibly proud to have made it to Everest Base Camp—with huge thanks to their guidance, care, and encouragement. If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend My Everest Trip. You won’t find a more dedicated, thoughtful, and professional team.

 Verified Amazing Trip to EBC !
Our trip to EBC was amazing and an adventurous trip ! We were 4 hrs away from EBC and had to turn around due to a blizzard ( Snow storm ) and they had closed EBC due to amount of snow and risk. Since we had Shree with us, who was an absolute gentlemen, caring, and experienced, he guided us to a safe place. We walked down for 10 hrs in 3 feet of snow so that we can get rescued. I have to say that, without shree it wouldn't have been a great experience. I would highly recommend to hire Shree as your guide.

 Verified Unforgettable Adventure
My friend and I had the best time trekking to Everest Base Camp with our amazing local guide, Shree! We're from Alaska and fairly used to hiking, but found the expertise and assistance from My Everest Trip to be invaluable (we got a sleeping bag, trekking poles, a porter, and all of the details taken care of!) The real treat though was getting a glimpse of the Himalayan life from a local tour guide. From getting patient answers to many questions, introduced to local delicacies, to evening musical jam sessions in teahouses, this trip was an unforgettable adventure.

 Verified I recently completed a 14-day trek in the Himalayas , around Ama Dablam and Gokyo lake, and I really enjoyed it. Our guide Shree was professional, calm, positive and knew the route very well. He checked our health on the altitude, kept us organized, and made sure everything went smoothly. We had to change the route due to the weather and Shree was very flexible, suggested options to us which I appreciated very much . If you’re planning a trek, I definitely recommend him.

 Verified Thankyou Shree!🙏
Just wrapped up a 14-day trek in the Himalayas and it was absolutely unreal – thanks to our amazing guide Shree. He knew the mountains like the back of his hand, kept us safe, and made the whole trip feel easy (even when it wasn’t!). Super organised, always had a smile, and genuinely cared about the group and locals. He went above and beyond every day – from helping us with altitude to sharing laughs over a cuppa at night. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re thinking of doing a trek in the Himalayas – do it, and make sure you go with this legend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you had to pick one company to plan your EBC trek or really anything I would 100% pick this company, simply because of the owner. There was moments during my trip where I had concerns and the owner was always SO QUICK to reply and handle the problem in such a professional and simple manner. Knows how to communicate and reassure his clients like a natural born leader(he was also a guide for EBC before so he is extremely educated on trekking).

Thank you again for this amazing experience🙏🙏.

Everything was very well organised, and MP, our guide, was very helpful and ensured we were always able to acclimatise without any issues. Mahesh, our porter, was also great.

Kathmandu Pokhara City Tour Additional Information

Which is better Place , Kathmandu or Pokhara?

Kathmandu Pokhara City Tour offer For tourists, we suggest that Pokhara is way more fun than Kathmandu. The peaceful nature and charm of Pokhara are beautiful.

Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, the administration centre. So, it’s crowded and noisy in comparison to Pokhara, which is a way quieter city.

Views: Kathmandu valley has 7 World Heritages Sites within a small area. You can visit all these in Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur quickly. And Pokhara is where you are supposed to relax and have fun.

Why is Pokhara Beautiful?

Pokhara is a naturally blessed city in the west, often known as the “City of lakes”. The panorama of mountains, the beauty of pristine lakes, and the colourful life around the lakeside make it the best tour in Nepal. One also can witness the range of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machapuchhre in the beautiful lake of Phewa. There are many freaky caves, stunning waterfalls, cultural heritages, and museums we can explore daily.

Moreover, Pokhara is a hub for adventure freaks with games like Paragliding, Bungee, mountain biking, hot air balloon, rafting, and more. Also, it’s the starting point of many great trekking trails worldwide, such as Annapurna base camp, Annapurna Circuit, Dhaulagiri trek, Mardi Himal trek, Mustang Trek, Poonhill- Ghandruk trek.

Kathmandu Pokhara city tour is possible any time of the year. Even the Winter in Pokhara is warm and pleasing, with the mountains full of thick snow. Sometimes, the high hills around the valley also receive snow. Then there’s Autumn (September to October) when the sky is clear, and the lakes look bluish and stunning. The spring is also fun, with beautiful wildflowers and green surroundings. But Pokhara sometimes receives rainfall in the evening of spring. So, it’s also suitable for the Annapurna Base Camp trek and Annapurna Circuit Trek.

Lastly, there’s the monsoon. The evening rain in the monsoon is quite heavy, but the mornings are straightforward and pleasing. Even the rainfall is soothing. And since we will be staying in a luxurious hotel and driving in a private car, the weather has little impact on your Pokhara tour. Nepalese New year and International New Year are the busiest time due to the celebration of the street festival in Pokhara.

You can visit Pokhara according to your timetable- the weather in Pokhara is pleasing throughout the year. Just let MyEverestTrip know when you want to book the sightseeing in Pokhara.

Culture and people of Pokhara

Originally, Pokhara was home to the Gurung and Magar people, who followed the Buddhist tradition. It has gained rich cultural diversity with the people of Brahmins, Kshetras, Newars, Thakalis, Rai, and more. Along with Hindus and Buddhists, you can also witness a small Muslim community here. The Tal Barahi and Bindabanisi temples hold great importance to Hindus worldwide. Many pilgrims travel from India to Pokhara to explore these religious spots. Also, many monasteries and caves are essential to the Buddhist people.
