I have just completed a 17-day Three Passes & EBC trek, and it was hands down the most breathtaking and perfect journey of my life. Our timing was nothing short of miraculous: looking back, if we had started just one day later, our entire itinerary would have been delayed for days due to the weather. Similarly, if we had stayed one day longer, we would have been stranded at Lukla with no flights back to Kathmandu. This flawless execution was a mix of great luck and the team’s expert judgment.
I want to give a special shout-out to my incredible team:
- Guide Laxman: His wealth of experience was evident. His precise judgment of mountain weather and routes kept us safe throughout and gave us immense confidence when facing the toughest challenges.
- Porters Kerman and Chandra: They were exceptionally strong, incredibly friendly, and always ready to help. Their warm smiles were a constant source of support during our long trekking days.
Nepal Alternative Treks demonstrated outstanding organizational skills, ensuring this challenging route was completed within the perfect weather window. If you are planning a trek in Nepal, I recommend this company and this “dream team” 100%!
