Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate trek. It does not need high climbing experience to trek to EBC.
I had an incredible experience doing Everest Base Camp trek with Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass.
Bishnu and the team at Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks were amazing and always went the extra mile to ensure that we have the best experience possible. The trek was well organised, professional and our accommodation was great. Our guide Bishnu was truly excellent and really knowledgable. With 14+ years experience, he is the best in the business and was able to plan the perfect itinerary for us.
Since Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks is a small local company, we got the benefit of a personalised tour, constant priority treatment and we got to support local vendors – this made our trek really special.
I highly recommend booking a trek with Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks!
We had an amazing trekking experience with Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks and Bishnu at Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes. This is my second trek with Bishnu because he has so much experience and always makes sure we have a good time. He is our guide but also our doctor and our coach cheering us on the mountain while at challenging altitudes. We changed our itinerary so many times but he was always flexible and made the necessary arrangements. He has a great network throughout the trekking community and all his guests get the benefit of that too! Definitely recommend a trek with Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks!
We had two amazing weeks with our guide Bishnu on our trek to Everest Basecamp!! Although we went there in high season, he knew how to avoid the big crowds what made the trip relaxing. I can’t recommend Bishnu more… he’s always smiling, telling good jokes and you can learn lots about the mountains, nature and culture! It was no problem to get near Lukla by jeep, he organized everything. He always made sure that we felt comfortable and healthy! Big plus: his English is really good, so even tough we all weren’t native English speaker, we had no problems communicating!😊
100% recommendation!
I did the Everest Base Camp trek with Bishnu. He was very kind and I never felt rushed, we went bistari bistari. It is a memory I’ll enjoy for a lifetime.

Mi experiencia en los 12 días de trekking hacia el Campamento Base del Everest fue increíble.
Con la ayuda Anjan pude conocer los mejores rincones y la historia que esconde la cordillera del Himalaya. Tiene muchos conocimientos sobre geografía y supervivencia así que siempre me sentí segura y acogida.
Se adaptó siempre a todas mis necesidades y manteniendo siempre la sonrisa.
