My guide Lok was outstanding; he was so informative, kind, and caring from start to finish, whether we were preparing for a midnight jeep ride to Thamdanda from Kathmandu or trekking for days. He always greeted me and other trail friends with a supportive smile and positive attitude.
The trek to Everest Base Camp via road was adventurously unreal, especially the long drive days with hairpin bends and narrow roads. The road section from Bupsa to Surke is real madness. Although we were prepared to explore this Everest Base Camp Trek without a flight by driving in December, the night and day at Kalapatthar were very cold, and a small pot of black masala tea kept me alive. As we start hiking down after base camp, I know why Aparr gives me the micro spikes. It was an extremely difficult walk down without crampons.
Lok supported me through every challenge, from choosing food and drinks to taking beautiful shots in a specific timeframe. I was very happy to have an experienced guide and responsible company at the back. The food with fruits, private room, hotels, hot shower, and hot drinks on every break and meals are managed perfectly so I can focus on my dream to reach Everest Base Camp on my limited budget. And Aparr, Lok, and Trekking Trail Nepal help me to achieve this.
The Everest Base Camp Trek by road without flying to Lukla airport was a superb experience for a lifetime with a professional guide and the best trekking company in Nepal.
