My wife & I at nearly 70 were over 40 years older than many members of our group but their friendship , help & cooperation guaranteed that we finished the trek in their enjoyable company.

EVEREST BASE CAMP

Written April 2008

I have just returned to the UK from Kathmandu where I left the accomplishment of a life-time ambition to get to Everest Base Camp. More than that, with the help of a superb Nepalese Exodus expedition team I managed an ascent of the Kala Patthar peak which sits at an altitude part-way between Base Camp and Camp 1. An achievement that I could not have accomplished without the superb 1 on 1 support of the climbing support personnel.This trip is tremendously challenging both physically and because of the high altitude involved yet the Exodus team on the ground made it ever so matter of fact and simple. They made sure that we were properly acclimatizing at a safe rate and pushed us along at a sensible pace which everyone was comfortable with. They made sure that our diet and health was properly attended to and that safety was always foremost in everyone's daily life. We spent 13 days on the trail yet it went by in a blur.On the trip home I have been reading the best selling book 'Into Thin Air' which describes the experiences of famous mountaineers who have conquered the summit of Everest and their experience on the trail to Base Camp which has been similar to my own with the exception that Exodus made sure that such wrinkles and pitfalls were avoided.Over the past 25 years, as a senior executive of major global corporations, I have travelled to over 125 countries and have had the good fortune to experience some of the most sumptuous hotels, resorts and travel destinations that are on most people's wish lists. On this occasion the Exodus team surpassed all my prior expectations that now marks this as the trip of a lifetime. Their diligence, sheer professional and personal attentiveness was remarkable and the best I have ever experienced anywhere.The quote from one of Lodges we stayed at sums up perfectly this experience "whatever you do, or dream you can, begin in! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it".

EVEREST BASE CAMP

Written April 2008

To visit Everest was a lifetime ambition and Exodus have allowed my dream to come true. The trek was everything I wanted it to be - and more. The accommodation was better than I had anticipated, and although quite basic, was also comfortable. The guides were brilliant and the team leader went out of his way to tell us so much about Nepal and the region. An amazing trip!

EVEREST BASE CAMP

Written February 2008

As we went during January/Febuary we missed crowds of tourists, which isn't a bad thing, but we did get the cold weather and I felt more could be done to heat the lodges when we arrived instead of waiting until evening. I thought this could have been a lot to do with most people in the group suffering from altitude sickness. I also felt that had we spent a day less in Kathmandu we would have had an extra day to get to base camp, as due to high winds we were unable to, as this was the main reason for the trek we found it very disappointing.

It was a great trip, well organised as usual by Exodus. Weather was kind despite travelling in December, it could have been a lot colder!

The guide and his team were fantastic, with great experience but also a very positive attitudes. I think the group also made the experience as everyone was of a suitable fitness level for the trip.

A brilliant trip well organised with very good staff, the trek was superb, very hard at times but well worth the effort, don't forget spare batteries for the camera, there are so many photo opportunities.

EVEREST BASE CAMP

Written January 2008

Trip was graded as a 'strenuous trek' - but I felt it wasn't. Too many stops making it difficult to get into a good walking rhythm - 30 mins walk followed by 1 hr break! I understand the need for acclimitisation etc. but it was difficult to really stretch the legs. Trek should be graded easier. Also we could have descended in 2 days rather than 3. Fitness level in group varied considerably - some actively trained for the treck (me!) whereas others took the stairs intead of the escalator to prepare! Not what a strenuous trek should be.

Fantastic scenery in the Himalaya

Written November 2007
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Getting to Everest Base Camp was the objective, and we made it ! A bonus was also climbing Kala Patar. The views were simply stunning -- surrounded day after day by some of the most beautiful, dramatic peaks imaginable.

The view from Kala Pattar was literally breathtaking

Written September 2007
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The mountains were awe inspiring. The whole trip was a very spiritual experience for me. The buddhist monks in the monasteries made me feel very humble and have left a lasting impression on me.I now have so much respect for people who climb the very highest peaks in the Himalayas - base camp was hard enough and I'm pretty fit (at sea level!!)
