Lifetime experience of Everest base Camp Trek with Expert Teamfrom KuwaitMarch 1, 2023I thank mission summit treks and expedition for arranging such a great trek to Everest base camp. I enjoyed the trek with our guide Damu, who makes the trek wonderful with best management of accommodation, food and time schedule. His respect, care and friendliness was awesome that I will always recommend Damu for trekking in Nepal. His briefing about trekking energized me every day. We pass the trekking destinations as if I am walking with sibling. I completed Everest base camp trek April 18 2022. Damu was with our team until we arrived Tribhuvan International airport for final departure. He helped us in every difficult situation such as shopping, choosing hotel in Thamel, get best food of Nepal. I still remember those difficult path which we passed with full of joy, there was good coordination between our guide and team. Damu listened us, solve the problems we had and makes entire team happy with his creative talk. In my opinion, mission summit treks and expedition is the best trekking company for Everest base camp trek. You will get reasonable price, best service and have wonderful trekking experience with Damu so always choose mission summit treks and expedition to trek in Nepal.Date of Experience: April, 2022

Once-in-a-lifetime trip!from TaiwanFebruary 26, 2023It's a spectacular trip, and hard to describe the experience unless you were there. I'm fortunate to have Damu as my trekking guide, which I didn't know when I booked this trip online in advance. I'm very grateful that we eventually made it to the EBC(Everest Base Camp) after going through a strong sandstorm and drizzle snowing in late December. Damu is a well-trained local with rich trekking experiences in the Himalayas; he speaks English, communicates well, and is reliable. He will be the guy taking care of you in the Himalayas.Date of Experience: December, 2016
