My friend and I just completed a 16 day trek to Gokyo lakes and Everest Base Camp with Nature Trail Travels and absolutely loved it. Our guide Dhruba and porter Ramkajai were fantastic on the trek, and Bishnu, the manager/owner was super helpful in answering all of our preparation questions. Dhruba's advice and timing were phenomenal and we maximized clear skies for the times we reached fantastic panoramic views and avoided stormy weather by starting early. His excellent logistical skills made everything easy so the only things we had to focus on were hiking and enjoying the incredible scenery. The only thing I would suggest is to add water filters to the packing list because boiled water gets expensive.

The trek was an excellent value and we are still glowing from the experience. I've never done a guided trip before because I tend to like to explore on my own, but in this case, it was totally worth it to go with a guide and it really enhanced the experience.
