Amazing trek and climb in Nepal!

Another fun and successful climbing/trekking trip with Expedition Himalaya! This time Everest Base Camp and Island Peak. Sonam Sherpa is such a great guide! Loved the Yak and Yeti accommodation in Kathmandu. Nabin and the office staff took such good care of us when bad weather prevented our scheduled flight to Lukla, they got us on a helicopter and we didn’t miss out. Other tour groups had to change or cancel their trips due to several days of bad weather impacting flights.
Highly recommend Expedition Himalaya for trekking and cloning in Nepal!

Expedition Himalaya is incredible. From the second we stepped foot in Nepal till we were taken back to the airport after our 20 day trek and climb, Expedition Himalaya made the experience truly amazing. They made me wish I never had to leave and I will definitely use them when I go back. Nabin is the best and his Sherpas Sonam, Namgel, and Mingmar were top notch. A sincere thank you to them for helping me reach the top of Island Peak. I would not have made it without them. Cannot wait to see them all again!!
