I Just Wanted To Take Moment To Offer Comments On My Experience Trekking To Everest Base Camp. First, Your Team Of Geshi And Tashi Where First Class. They Were Attentive And Knew Exactly How To Pace Us In The More Difficult Treks. What I Liked Most Was Their Knowledge Of The The Entire Khumbu Valley And Its Community! You Can Tell They Are Respected By The People! Many Times Along The Trail,they Were Stopped By People To Say Hello And Walk A Bit With Them! The Lodges Provided Us With Comfort And Delicious Food To Warm Our Bodies. All The Treks Going To EBC Are Well Designed To Help Us Acclimate To The Higher Elevations. However, I Must Admit That The Final Trek Between Namche To Lukla Was Quite Challenging. It Took 9 Hours Of Trekking 12.67 Miles Descending 4375 Ft And Ascending 2477 Ft. It Maybe Helpful To Break That Into Two Stages. These Are My Thoughts! Again, Thank You For Putting Such A Wonderful Adventure Together. I Will Have No Problem Recommending “Himalayan Sherpa Trail, Treks And Tours / Himalayansherpatravels.com”to Anyone Asking For My Recommendations!!! Thanks-Joe Garcia
