Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar
I recently completed the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar trek with Suman and it was totally awesome. I arranged the whole trip via email with Bhim and upon arrival in Kathmandu, I was picked up from the airport by my guide Suman. The whole trip went off without a hitch and Suman was always checking to ensure I was in good shape and not suffering any symptoms of altitude sickness. He even helped me pick up a few items of gear before setting off and when we got back to Kathmandu, took me to Everest Momo for the best momo in town! Thanks Bhim and Suman for an unforgettable experience!
