For those wishing to hike where many other don't, the trip to Mount Everest Base Camp will certainly take you off the normal trails. While smooth walking at times, most of the trip will challenge you with rocky sections, steep sections, and even dusty sections as pack animals come and go. The tea houses add to the adventure with rustic accommodations and not-so-many comforts. The views are incredible, the people are friendly, and seeing first hand how hard living conditions are for the local population is humbling. Even if you don't use your camera often, you will have many great images in your mind that will be unforgettable. Forget your phone and the internet and get lost in one of the great outdoor adventures!

What an incredible trip! Trekking to EBC is, for many, the trek of a lifetime. And, after doing the trip, I can say it is for good reason. The trip was amazing. The scenary was epic. It changed from lush to mountainous to glacial. Each view was better than the last. And, trekking through villages and towns, seeing how people lived in the Himalayas, was also a highlight.
In terms of the trip, Active did an incredible job. It was very well organized. Every detail was considered. I felt safe, well cared for, and that I was with the best organization leading trekkers. The guides were fun, energetic, engaging, and careful about everyone's health and happiness. I cannot say enough good things about them. And, working with the back-office team at Active was a pure delight. If you are going to do EBC, Active is the company to use. Full stop.

You get tired saying “Wow, look at that” or “Holy — “ after the first 5 days!
Our trek leadership was incredible and our melded team from across the globe, hiked as if we we all old friends.

I was extremely happy with the way the trip was organized and both Elder and Arjun were magnificent guides. My thirst for achievement however got in the way of my better judgment about the cold conditions and the sparseness of the tea houses and amenities. The trekking with Elder and Arjun was magnificent and the vistas are unforgettable. Our group was very close knit and supportive. And it didn’t rain. But if a friend were to attempt this would want to describe the long hours laying awake in the sleeping bag just to stay warm. Overall , I had known about the sparsity of the amenities I probably would not have taken the trip despite the great support from Elder and Arjun and the experience of the Himalayas.

This trip was an important milestone in my life because I learned that I'm much tougher and in better shape than I thought I was. I won't sugar coat this---it's a physically and mentally challenging journey, but Mel and Shree couldn't have done a better job motivating us, caring about us, guiding us, and encouraging us. The trip in its entirety was very well-planned and well-executed, and the little perks (gumdrop and cookie breaks) were fantastic. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention how wonderful the porters were. I highly recommend this trip and Active Adventures and look forward to my next adventure.

The EBC trek was amazing...unfortunately, Covid-19 took off while we were on the trail and AA made the right decision to cut our trek short on Day 6 so that we could all get home safely.
The trip itself was AMAZING! ALL of our guides were extremely knowledgeable about the culture, wildlife and geography of Nepal and are passionate about the people and environment there. We didn't miss a thing as they took us to all the best vantage points to view every breathtaking scene. All the food was delicious and the tea houses were comfy and clean.
With the Covid-19 crisis, the whole team, our guides and the back office, worked hard to rearrange our flights back to Kathmandu and to help us with our flights home to make sure we all got out safely. When other trekkers were still going up, they made the RIGHT decision to get us home, despite the financial cost to themselves. They also took efforts to help the Nepali guides and porters who were losing their employment for the year due to the virus.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF COMPANY THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK WITH BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR PEOPLE! I will always choose them for my tours in the future

From the moment my Father and I met with our lead guide, Dan, we felt absolute connection and excitement. Dan and the support team shared so many invaluable lessons that came from the Nepalese people and land. I felt cared for when I became ill (sinus infection) at about 12K feet and with that assistance I felt strong enough physically and mentally when the morning came to hike to the top of Kala Patthar. The entire journey enriched my life dramatically and I greatly look forward to returning to Nepal with Active Adventures.
