The Everest Base Camp Trek it self was the best experience you will ever do. This is the second time I have done it. I have no faults with the sherpa's and porters on the trip as they were fantastic. Firstly, we were charged at extra 4% for card payments. Make sure all payments are done beforehand or you have exchanged the cash in your own country. Our flight from Lukla got cancelled which can happen due to the weather. When trying to get the flight details from the company for over a month they failed to do so. The insurance would not do anything without a letter from the insurance company. Although they organised alternative transport this was never communicated and poor communication after trip completed. Would use a another company in my opinion.

Everest Base Camp w chopper return
The hike was amazing, what made it more enjoyable were the guides. KB and Raj were excellent. The kids that were portering for us also the best. Nothing but smiles for miles when we would see them on the trail (as they passed us). The guest houses/ tea houses far surpassed my expectations as far as a place to lay your head a night. It was still freezing, but I managed to sleep most nights. The food at all the places was quite good, when I had the appetite. Warning: yak poop burning causes a lot of smoke and makes it nearly impossible to breath esp after the altitude hits! Having had problems with my lungs the last couple days of the trip. Mind is willing body not completely able. The group left for base camp and I was left to my own devices, I took my time and did Kala Patthar, I was able to see Mt Everest... which you are not able to do from base camp. I did miss out on the spray painted rock with my crew, but had an amazing adventure on my own! I have never been in a helicopter... so this was the complete highlight of the entire trip to me! The pilot was smooth...he gave us a loop around base camp from the air and pointed out so many things you cannot see from the ground. Best trekking experience to date... one thing... make sure your guide has a pulse oximeter!!
