Thank you Earths Edge for your professionalism, brilliant organisational skills, and great attention to detail. It was a trip to remember to Everest Base Camp. Not only having a super doctor as part of the group, we had the best local guides … More and support team who shared their knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm with us all.

I cannot recommend Earth’s Edge highly enough! From the moment I inquired about the Everest Base Camp trek to the final celebratory dinner in Kathmandu, every detail was perfectly managed. The team’s expert guidance, genuine warmth, and … More meticulous planning transformed what could have been an overwhelming adventure into the trip of a lifetime.What stood out:•Exceptional Guides & Sherpas: Our lead guide, Tenzing, balanced professionalism with a contagious enthusiasm that carried us through every steep slope. His knowledge of local culture, flora, and trail conditions made every day both educational and inspiring. Our Sherpa team was attentive, supportive, and always ready with a steaming cup of tea or a word of encouragement.•Thoughtful Acclimatization: The itinerary built in well‑paced acclimatization days that ensured everyone felt strong and healthy. I never experienced altitude sickness, even at Gorak Shep (5,164 m), thanks to the careful staging of our ascent.•Top‑Notch Logistics & Comfort: From cozy, clean tea‑houses to delicious Nepali meals—each stop felt like coming home. Earth’s Edge also provided high‑quality down jackets and sleeping bags, so I stayed warm and rested every night.•Authentic Cultural Experiences: Beyond the trekking, I loved the visits to Tengboche Monastery and the chance to meet local communities. The team organized a Khumbu ice‑fall briefing and a blessing ceremony at Tengboche that deepened my connection to the Himalaya.•Safety & Support: The guides carried full first‑aid kits, pulse oximeters, and satellite phones. At every check‑in point, they made sure we were hydrated, well‑fed, and in high spirits. Their commitment to safety gave me complete peace of mind.By the time I reached Everest Base Camp and gazed up at the Khumbu Icefall, I felt empowered, inspired, and endlessly grateful—to the mountain and to Earth’s Edge for making this dream possible. If you’re looking to tackle Everest Base Camp with a team that treats you like family and supports every step of your journey, choose Earth’s Edge. They turned an epic challenge into an incredible adventure I’ll cherish forever.— Caroline McKenna,Newcastle Co Down, Northern Ireland

Just returned from Everest Base Camp tripAmazing experience from start to finish, from the support given to us by Earth’s Edge (big call out to Joyce for patiently answering all my questions). The training weekend was fantastic really … More focused in on packing and what we should bring, gave us a great insight to what to expect.The tour itself was amazing, Prasant leading our group with his fantastic team (big call out to Bibi, Luki, Pemba, Govinda). They couldn’t do enough for us. Food was amazing at every stop, and we were well minded on our adventure. Really enjoyed the tea & biscuits at EBC, such a treat!Big Thanks to all Earth’s Edge for a wonderful holiday.
