A Journey to Remember – Exceptional Service on Our EBC Trek

I recently completed the journey to Everest Base Camp and wanted to share my deep appreciation for the company that made this experience truly unforgettable. What stood out most throughout the trek was the remarkable level of personal attention and care we received from the team, especially our guide.From day one, our guide went above and beyond to understand and accommodate each of our individual needs. Whether it was organizing a private room when possible, planning a special celebration for my birthday in the mountains, or making sure I had the time and support to take unique photographs — every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and genuine care.Our group was made up of individuals with different preferences and expectations, and yet our guide managed to be there for each of us around the clock. His patience, professionalism, and empathy made all the difference.Thanks to the incredible support from both the guide and the back-office team, we successfully completed the entire p…

EBC and Gokyo treks led by peaks 15

I had the pleasure of participating in the EBC and Gokyo treks led by 15-peaks, as sub contractors of the company I booked my trip with. Yogendra and Sekhar, our guide, were extremely nice and helpful, and very knowledgeable. From the moment I landed to my return home the took care of all the required arrangements. Our Gide was super kind and lovable, and was very attentive to our needs, while ensuring our safety and that we’ll reach all the sites planned, as much as the local conditions permitted. With 14 years of experience, Sekhar knows all the lodges, their owners, the roads, and how things work locally. He managed well changes that needed to be taken due to the weather or any other circumctences. I felt safe and calm knowing he’s our guide. On top of it, he’s a kind and warm person. The type of guide you want on your side in such a difficult trek. Thank you 15-peaks!

The best experience with peak15

Just returned from EBC trek with Peak 15, and had the best experience.They looked after and took care of everything before during and after the trek.Their guide Bikash was one of a kind, and the best guide anyone can ask for. Professional, kind, carring, super responsible, he made our trek the best in any possible aspect.I highly recommend Bikash and Peak 15 company for taking any trek in Nepal.
