I would like to express my thanks to all the Nepal crew for all their hard work and hospitality and to the local crew for the efficient way which they dealt with and handled my helicopter evacuation and transfer to the clinic and the paperwork. Thanks for looking after me.

Altitude, Flights & Cold Nights – Here’s the Real Talk
Three things keep people from clicking “Book now”: altitude sickness, Lukla flight delays and the idea of shivering in a plywood room.
We build two acclim days into the schedule, run daily pulse-ox checks and our guides carry emergency O2 – success rate is 96 %.
Flights to Lukla are weather-reliant; we include buffer time and have heli or jeep back-ups costed and ready if the clouds roll in.
And those cold teahouses? Bring a -15 °C bag, slip into your down jacket and embrace the simple life – the stove’s roaring in the dining room and tomorrow’s sunrise will blow your mind.
What our adventurers say
Amazing tour of the 3 Everest High passes and Island Peak. Everything was organized perfectly by the operator and our guide Deepak took care of everything 24/7.
Martin B
Amazing trip, with beautiful views along the way. The first pass was quite hard, but enjoyable. We were very lucky with our guide Sunil. Very professional and helpful all the time. Do the three passes instead of the Ebc, but prepare yourself for the challenge 😊 Am sure that am coming back, and it will be with them 🙏
