The team was really supportive from beginning to end: as soon as we arrived to Kathmandu we met the team and our super guide -"Bir"- who helped us purchase the few outstanding things we had to buy - on a record time as we only had a few hour left on KTM that day- even though it was not planned he stayed with us showing us the best mountain gear places in Thamel until he was sure we had got all we needed to start our EBC adventure on the coming morning.
This is just a small piece of example of how supportive the team and especially our guide Bir was -as at the end, it's him who we spent most of our time with. 
He was not only our guide to the EBC, but he gave us the best tips to survive on these mountains, and the most interesting pieces of Nepali history and culture.

We had a blast, thank you all!

Additional Information

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.

What makes this trip different ?

Donation
