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.
