We had an unforgettable experience on our trek! We were in contact with Arjun 6 months before we even came and he was always quick and ready to help us with any questions we had leading up to the trek.
Our guide, Bhusan was AMAZING. We had such a fun and enjoyable time with him. The people in the Everest region are just the best and are always so kind. He always made sure we were doing okay and even was able to get us some extra blankets if they were available in the coldest places.
Our porter Binot was also incredible. We were always so grateful for him whenever we saw him.
Something to be aware of going into this experience is that the organization and management in Nepal is chaotic. We had a night in Gorakshep where we had to sleep in a tent which we were very unhappy with since we booked it 6 months before and expected a room. Be prepared that this experience is not luxurious and so don’t get mad at the companies if you have a problem. We quickly realized that how things are booked and how things get done is very different from the USA and that it is not always the trekking companies fault. You are here experiencing another culture after all so embrace it(:
