Trek to Everest Base Camp with Alliance Treks was fantastic. My son and his two other friends and myself total 4 people completed this trekking from Lukla to Everest Base Camp taking just 8 days. Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek was best idea trek up and from Gorakhshep fly back to Kathmandu by sharing helicopter. Heli flight was my first time but it was terrific. Thank you Jay and Lhakpa, Tenji, Furba and Nwang for your excellent care. For sure trek this trip would have been not successful without your support.
Thank you for Mr. Kul for your excellent arrangement and we for sure visit Nepal again and use your company service. We surely recommend Alliance Treks to our friends for the trek to EBC and more. Last time Annapurna Circuit Trekking was great but this time despite bit tougher trek to Everest Base Camp was more adventure. Mt. Everest is superb.

This is my 3rd time visiting Nepal. I had always been very thankful to get to know Mr. Kul from Alliance Treks right from the beginning I landed in Nepal for the 1st time (which was about 10 years ago).
I fell in love to do trekking in Nepal, as Mr. Kul is always there to ensure our well being and safety.
Mr. Kul is very active and committed to mountaineering events not only in Nepal, but also in other part of the world. He is always there to train up the new generation to become a good quality guide with knowledge and commitment to the tourist.
Every step of my experience with Alliance Trek was top notch and they took care of even the smallest details thoroughly.
My initial contact was with Kishor, who answered my thousands of questions with clarity and patience. He was our touch point throughout the entire experience from the moment I asked my first question until the day he sent a car to pick us up and take us to the airport to go home. I knew if we had any questions or issues all we had to do was give him a quick call and he would take care of it.
Our guide, Riddhi, was so careful and thorough that we really didn’t have any issues at all. Not only did he guide us safely through a very rigorous trek to Everest Base Camp, but he used his knowledge as an international mountain leader to educate us about all the trees and flowers and wildlife we encountered on the way, which really took the experience to the next level.
His pacing was completely customized to our abilities and I think was the only reason I made it.
I would recommend this company to anyone who is doing a Trek in Nepal because I know that you’ll get a warm, welcoming, and personalized experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Excellent guide, very good accomodation in Kathmandu and on Everest Base Camp track, very flexible organization fitting to our acclimatization needs. And very good food.
Trek to Everest Base Camp for 12 days was one of the best memorable trek for us. Me and my wife completed this trek with Hise Sangpo Lama and porter Nimesh Buda Magar from Lukla. Flight to Lukla was fantastic but bit scary (to be honest) and then the trails along the way with views, people, Mt. Everest, Everest View Hotel and more..amazing place. From the first day I got cold but I completed successfully. My wife Nana was stronger than me and we celebrated her birthday at the Everest Base Camp (EBC). This trek remained us we are still 16 years though we both are 58 and 51. Autumn trek in the Everest region is just like next paradise.
Thank you Mr. Kishor and team arranging such a beautiful and safe trek. We visit again next time for ABC trek and we highly recommend your company Alliance Treks to our friends for such an excellent service. Your team are brilliant and highly dedicated. We love them and respect their profession.

Trek to Everest Base Camp came real in our life. Me and my wife have successfully reached at the EBC on the 23rd March 2016 on my birthday and our anniversary. Thank you Mr. Kishor and Mr.Kul as well as entire team making our day at the base camp so memorable specially cake, gift and happy birthday song. Wow, it was lifetime memorable. Lots of people form Mumbai, India visited and I had been planning it for last 10 years but never happened due to family matters and our job but now made it and even safely returned back to homeland.
Guide Rodhe and porters Shyam and Nigma sherpa were brilliant. Alliance Treks is the best, we found very professional and personalized service. We promise to send our 3 daughters for this trek next year and tell other people also for your great service.
Next time we do Muktinath tours with Alliance Treks.
