Life-changing — every step worth it!
Standing at EBC watching the sun hit Khumbu Icefall was the most powerful moment of my life. Our guide Pasang was exceptional — calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about acclimatization. Tea houses were cozy and food surprisingly good at altitude. Trek Nepal Adventures handled every detail flawlessly. If you're considering EBC, just do it.
Response from the host
Thank you Alex and Jamie! Pasang sends his regards — hope to see you on Manaslu Circuit next time!
