Before the EBC trip, I knew this could be the life trip, so I've researched, read through a lot of reviews, websites and asked around my friends to choose the best tour company as far as I can for my trip. And by word of mouth, I chose this company, Nepal Unique Treks. Not be quite 100% confident at that time.
I contacted Dil to arrange the tour agenda, airport pickup, packing list recommendation... Everything is easier than I thought. Although Dil had to take a group to EBC at that time (hardly access to Internet along the way), but he tried to reply my every single questions with patience and carefulness.
The day I came to Kathmandu, the flight was delayed more than a hour, but Dil still waited for me there and took me to the very nice hotel in Thamel.
On the way to EBC, I knew that me and my friend stopped a lot to take the photos (I myself took around 3k photos for EBC trip) and Binaya (our guide) still waited for us patiently to make sure 2 of us and him always stick together, no one left behind. Some days, the weather is very cold, standing in one place will make you get colder than walking, but Binaya was always standing there and waited for us to take the photos/changing clothes/drinking water/resting. Three of us talked and laughed a lot along the way. It's really unforgettable memory.
At night, Binaya helped us order food/drink and arranged room for us very carefully. He also shared us about next day’s itinerary so that we can be well-prepared.
I got stomatch problem on the way back, Binaya took after me very carefully and checked for my health very frequently. He also always reminded us to walk very slowly to prevent unexpected injuries.
After coming back after the trek, Dil helped me arrange private car with best price (including a well English speaking tour guide) to visit Pashupatinath Temple, Hindu Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Monkey Temple, Patan old town. I don’t think I can visit a lot of places in one day like this with a very good price. Dil also arranged a very good dinner to congratulate us to finish the EBC trek, we enjoyed the culture show of local people while having the dinner there. I love the Raski (Nepalese Rice Wine), we drank and had lots of fun together. My last day in Kathmandu, Binaya came with me to the airport to say goodbye.
On the way to EBC, I can see a lot of company took their customers as well. Some are good, some are bad. In a dinner at Lobuche (one of the last lodges before reaching to EBC), I heard a story from a friend sit next to me, she said she got sick and her guide (from other company) didn’t have any medicines for her, and he kept telling her that she can call helicopter to get back to Kathmandu. No caring, no asking. And on the way, he always walked very fast. Luckily she got recovery and can finish the trek. But thinking back, I feel I’m very lucky to choose the right company in the first place, our guide always brought the medicine, and the most important thing is, he’s always with us. Thank you Dil, Binaya and Nepal Unique Treks.
