My hiking friend(Zsu) used Amigo Treks & Expedition twice in the past and she highly recommended this trekking company to do 12 days of Everest Base Camp trekking. My trekking friend and I booked a flight and she coordinated the trekking plan with Niti in the office. The plan is probably the basic standard which is 12 days trekking which consists of 7 days up + 2 days acclimatization hike (= rest days) & 3 days down. Based on the itinerary, I checked daily hiking mileage and elevation gain/loss on the GAIA app to understand the level of trekking. Once we started trekking with Hari and our strong porters (Padma & Durga), Hari saw our hiking pace every day and altered the original plan to avoid the cold valley area's overnight stay and customize the plan to suit our needs (he re-booked warmer/less windy area's inn or larger town's inn such that we could spend time for souvenirs shopping on the way down, etc.
These changes made a couple of days of trekking slightly longer or shorter but we didn't have any issues. Also, we have 1 guide, 2 porters, and 3 clients who have different hiking paces in each. Instead of forcing 3 of us to adjust the same hiking pace, Hari let 2 porters and himself be closer to each of us individually and kept an eye on we were all okay without problem/issue. These clients oriented way of handling, Hari is very good at and I was very happy that he did it that way. At the end of the day after eating supper, Hari talked about the next day's trekking (how long we go, whether we go up, flat, or down, steep ascent, etc, anthe d lunch plan in detail. At night, when it is cold, They provide a hot water bag for our sleep. During the trekking, My Guide explained mountain names by pointing to mountain summits in each. Overall, I enjoyed a lot with Hari, Padma, and Durga for 12 days of trekking. I highly recommend anyone use Amigo Treks & Expeditions.
