An Incredible Holiday

This was an amazing trip, and I cannot wait to revisit Nepal. The scenery was stunning, reaching Everest Base Camp was awe-inspiring, and Exodus took care of all of the organisation. The whole trip was well organised, and everything ran smoothly thanks to the work of Exodus and our leader and assistant staff.

I had never done anything like this before, and so to anyone who is currently wondering if they would be able to do it – if you have a good level of fitness, enjoy walking and are determined – go for it, you will not regret it.

Most Inspirational Moment

Finally reaching Everest Base Camp was a truly incredible moment. The scenery in the Himalayas was always breathtaking as well.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader, Pasang Bomjan, was excellent. He provided help and advice when I suffered from altitude sickness, and I was always confident in his ability to lead the group safely and competently.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do not underestimate the altitude. However, if you follow your leader's advice - ascend slowly, drink lots of water, keep eating even if you have no appetite - you will be able to complete the trek. The route was surprisingly dusty, so I recommend bringing a buff/scarf to cover your mouth.

Trip of a Lifetime - Everest Base Camp Trek

This had been on my bucket list for a while and it didn’t disappoint! Absolutely breathtaking scenery, exciting trekking and a wonderful culture. I’m so glad I booked with Exodus as the whole experience, from start to finish, was organised and managed to perfection. Don’t find an excuse not to do this, just do it!

Most Inspirational Moment

Arriving at Base Camp was an incredible feeling, and the ascent of Kala Patthar the next day, whilst tough, gave the most impressive views of the Everest range.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader, Pasang Bomjan, was flawless throughout. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and the group felt very safe in his hands.

Advice for Potential Travellers

My advice would be to not underestimate the challenge - at the highest altitudes the trekking is tough, even if you are fit. Otherwise, just do it!

Breathtaking (literally)

This trip proved to be an amazing, once in a lifetime adventure which I feel so lucky to have experienced.

Most Inspirational Moment

Waking at 3:30am (optional element of the trip!), around minus 5 outside, pitch black and snowy - all for an optional walk up Kala Patthar. A somewhat grumpy and bleak start ended up being the highlight of the trip - particularly seeing the sun rise over Everest - truly mind-blowing. will never, ever forget it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader B was truly awesome. confident, caring, responsible and fun. We genuinely couldn't of wishes for a better group leader.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Definitely to pack everything on the required items list - you will need everything!

The trip was exceptionally well organized. The group leader and guides were totally in control and were very knowledgeable on the subject of the trek. They were also always in the immediate vicinity to help anyone in the group who needed help.

Everest base camp trek

Absolutely loved this trip. The hardest thing I’ve done in my life, don’t be fooled into thinking it’ll be anything less than that! But absolutely worth every moment! Amazing views, amazing country. Met great people, some of whom will be friends for years to come I am sure. The guides were fantastic and the whole thing was organised brilliantly. Clear skies and views of Mount Everest made this trip!

Most Inspirational Moment

Watching the sun rise over Everest, shortly followed by a snow avalanche!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good! Passang went above and beyond for us all!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Stock up on loo roll - it gets more expensive the further up you go! And don't skimp on the sleeping bag, you NEED a really good quality one.

Incredible trip to Everest Base Camp and scale Kalapatthar for the sunrise.
The scenery was breath-taking and mesmerising in equal measure, but everything was backed by a fantastic team of guides.

Professional, fun and experienced mountaineer it was a pleasure to trek with Sukman

Take an insulated 'sigg' bottle and get boiled water each night - wrap this in a towel for a hot waterbottle experience Also merino base layers and liner socks make life easier

Amazing trip

The trip was well organised, featuring stunning mountains views of the exceptional himilayan mountains! Even though we lost two days due to flight cancellations the Sherpa rearranged all of our accommodation and still made sure we made it to the base camp and back on time!

Ngima Sherpa was a outstanding guy, he was quick in his feet with solutions to group problems, he was an absolute bundle of laughs! He kept me and the group smiling the entire trip! Certainly made the trip

An outstanding experience, exceptionally organised!

This was truly an incredible experience, with great attention to detail in the organisation, health and safety of the group. From the beauty of the mountain range to the knowledge shared by the expedition leader, the Everest Base Camp trek is definitely worth doing!
The tea-houses were basic in nature (as you would expect), but don’t let that deter you as they are very comfortable with an extensive food and drinks menu. The locals are also very helpful and generous! Our group was managed by a leader and 3 other guides, so everyone was looked after.

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspirational moments were not just the epic views and getting to EBC, but speaking to the locals at the tea-houses. In particular, we met a sherpa called Passang, who has summited Everest 8 times to date. His stories (although insane), really put Everest in perspective - how tough it is and what attracts people to summit this magnificent mountain.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Shailesh was an outstanding group leader, we were definitely lucky to have him. I'd go so far as to say we have made a new friend. He was kind, respectful and took your health very seriously. Being ex-military, we were in safe hands.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You are very likely to suffer symptoms of altitude sickness on this trek, but managed correctly and these will be significantly minimised. The expedition leader does carry out daily checks on your health and wellbeing and will do the best possible to get you to EBC. Please do take AMS seriously, get the correct medication and seek good advice about its use before you go - fatalities (although rare) can occur. The trek is physically and mentally challenging, so DEFINITELY train, don't expect this to be a walk in the park. If you're generally fit and active, along with positive attitude, you will have the best time!
