My friends and I did the EBC trek to celebrate our 50th birthday. We contacted Amigo treks 6 months before the trip and decided to book the Luxury option which includes a helicopter ride on the way back and the best possible accommodation on the trek. The booking process was smooth and professional. Niti, our contact from Amigo, provided us with all the info about the trek. She was really prompt and all the info we got turned out to be accurate and useful.
The Kathmandu tour we had on our first day was perfect thanks to our guide Sushma who was incredibly informative.
Agency organized our flight to Lukla directly from Kathmandu airport which is rare lately since most of the flights to Lukla do not leave from Kathmandu airport anymore but from another airport further from Kathmandu.
Our guide on the trek was Hari Adhikari. Great guy. Experienced, reliable, pleasant, with good knowledge of English language. Everything during the trek was literally flawless. We had the best possible accommodation, we were well-guided, and everything was organized in advance and smoothly. The porters were really lovely guys as well. We even got a cake at EBC for our 50th birthday which was a bit surreal and a memory of a lifetime :)
There are other activities in that region that I would like to do someday. I will definitely book Hari and Amigo Treks.
My wife and I arranged a 9-day EBC trek with Amigo in May 2022 (after a 2-year COVID delay). We had to cut it short due to a health issue. But, wow, Amigos was fantastic - and Niti is just amazing! She patiently answered our endless questions for two years, made all of the arrangements seamlessly, and provided everything we needed to have a great trek. When we had to cut it short, she promptly arranged the helicopter to bring us back down, made new hotel reservations for us in Kathmandu, and even sat with us for half an hour (with her colleague Dennis) helping us get through to United to reschedule our flight home. I have never experienced such extraordinary service before. Our guide Navaraj (Nava) Thapa was kind, patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. (Thanks, Nava! ) And our porter, Jari, was a modern Hercules who didn't even flinch when we brought WAY too much stuff. If you want to trek to EBC, we HIGHLY recommend Amigo!
I went on the Everest Base Camp Trek with Amigo in December 2021. A quiet but wonderful time on the trail. I was solo and had a wonderful guide and porter, both of which worked closely with me to insure this 64 year old (somewhat out of shape) male did well on one of his most important bucket list items. Niti was amazing with the communication during the year+ leading up to my trek. COVID travel restrictions and concerns caused numerous delays beyond her control. I would highly recommend Amigo. Even during these challenging times, they continue to have their "eye on the ball"... complete customer satisfaction. My enduring thanks to all at Amigo for making my trip an outstanding memory.
We just returned from an Amigo Customized Ultimate Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek from Kathmandu to the Everest View Hotel starting September 26, 2018. Due to David's minor heart conditiion we were not able to go all the way to Base Camp so Niti Sharma designed the perfect package for us including all we wanted to do.The trip was fabuous and the care was impeccable. Starting with our planning and booking with Niti in the Kathmandu, to our guide Ramish and our porter, Khadga. The trip was everything we dreamed of and more. They were particularly calming and caring when we ran into a couple of hiccups. The first of which I contracted traveler's diarreha while Trekking from Phaking to Namche Bazaar. Ramish took excellent care of me and worked with the staff at Yeti Mountain Lodge to assure my well-being and swift return to the Trek. After only one day down we continued on the journey to the Everest View Hotel. While there the weather grew uncooperative, but Niti, Ramish, and the General Manager of the Hotel were able work with a helicopter company to insure that we missed none of what we had planned to accomplish. Thsi was an awesome experience created by Niti, Ramish, and the entire Amigo crew.
We originally chose Amigo due to their super fast response rate as well as having the trip that we wanted. Since this was my bucket list trip, we decided to book the luxury trip, which included a helicopter ride down, 5* hotels where possible, and best available tea houses once you got higher up on the trek (and there are no more hotels/lodges). I went with my boyfriend (now fiance!), and we are SO glad we splurged a little as being as comfortable and we'll rested as possible really helps when trying to accomplish your goal of reaching Base Camp /Top of Kala Patthar.
Niti was our sales rep, and as stated above she was incredibly fast and flexible with our scheduling. Our flight to Kathmandu was cancelled THREE times (thanks, FlyDubai! Haha
..) and she was quick to update our travel plans each time. Our tour guide, Raaj, was attentive the entire trip and did his best to ensure we were as comfortable as possible considering how freezing cold it would get at night! We also loved our Porter, as I have NO idea how he carried our extra clothes/supplies with absolutely no complaint when everyone else is huffing and puffing. I appreciated that Raaj and our Porter were non-smokers, as we saw many of the guides and support staff smoking while trekking.
For the actual trek, it's definitely tough due to the cold temperatures (we started at the end of March), inevitable diarrhea you will experience no matter how much hand sanitizer you'll use, and the lengthy amount of time walking spread out 9 days uphill. My fiance (Brandon) had not gone on any practice hikes prior to this trip but is in relatively good shape. I do go hiking, but really the big determining factor in being successful is whether or not you're prone to altitude sickness. I am fortunate to not have any altitude sickness, but Brandon had pretty severe headaches, flu like symptoms, lack of appetite, and extreme fatigue. Raaj monitored his condition and gave extra rest periods so Brandon could acclimate easier.
Overall, the trip was AMAZING and my biggest advice for people who want to go there is to book with an attentive company. We saw 40% of people turn around before reaching their goal, but most of them were in large groups and staying at the worst accommodations. You don't appreciate having a hot shower until you realize that hardly anyone else you are seeing hiking has that same luxury. Our guide also gave us rolls of toilet paper when we underestimated how much we'd need, made fresh fruit platters for us 1-2 times a day, bought all of our mineral water at each stop, took care of all of our food/housing/beverages, and even got us welcome/farewell gifts that we will cherish :) Brandon also proposed to me on the helicopter ride back to Kathmandu after we had finished our trek, and due to Raaj filming it, I was able to share it with my family! We really appreciated having a guide who treated us like a friend and we were very sad to say bye to him, Niti, and our Porter.
