EBC's best experience with Outfitter Himalaya Holiday PTY LTD
We had an amazing experience with Outfitter Himalaya PTY Ltd.
The owner, Arjun, had organised everything perfectly, so we didn't have to worry about anything. The tour guide, Saroj, had extensive experience and gave us all the information we needed. I would recommend the Outfitter company for all your tours in Nepal and the Everest

Great experience
I had an incredible experience doing the Everest Base Camp trek, and a big part of that was thanks to my guide Raj.
He was extremely kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire journey. From the very beginning, everything was organised exactly as I expected, which made me feel comfortable and confident during the trek.
Raj was always checking in to make sure I was feeling well, taking care of the food, adapting the pace to the Sherpa so we could receive even more support when needed, and sharing helpful insights about the mountains and local culture. His positive attitude really made a difference, especially on the more challenging days.
I truly felt well taken care of the whole time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I highly recommend Raj and his tour company to anyone planning to do the Everest Base Camp trek or any other treks around the area.

Best trekking company for 12 day EBC trek - Outfitter Himalaya Holidsys
I cannot say enough good things about the team at Outfitter Himalaya Holidays. While we booked through Tripadeal, we were thrilled when we learnt that they were using OHH as the trekking company based on all the great reviews.
Being the low season, we were only a small group of 3 from Australia. We were teamed up with head guide Suraj. Assistant guide:porter Dhana and porter Hira. These three guys went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible experience. Their knowledge, guiding skills and English were excellent and we felt like we were in safe hands through out the trek. The itinerary was able to be adapted according to the weather and conditions and we were always included in the decision making process.
For me this was a big bucket list trip and it exceeded my expectations. We were so lucky to have the trails almost to ourselves and only a handful of people staying at the tea houses. To cap it off we had magic weather with beautiful blue skies most days. I have no hesitation in recommending OHH and will definitely be using them for any future trips to Nepal.
