5.00My friend and I booked to do Everest base camp trek with gokyo lakes and gokyo ri with eco holidays. Dhruba and his team were amazing! Always replying to emails straight away before we left and he greeted us at the airport with no problems made us feel really welcome and took us to the hotel. He explained everything so well and made sure we had everything we needed. Our guide Bipan came to meet us the day before and took us on an incredible experience in the Himalayas and looked after us really well. Everything was made so easy for us and we can't thank them enough. The hotels Dhruba put us in were really nice and in great locations. We also got a day sightseeing in Kathmandu with a great guide who spoke great English and knew lots of information. Would definitely do another trip with Dhruba and his team again, no complaints at all. :)

5.00The Everest Base Camp Trekking was one of its own kind. It was the most challenging and adventurous trek I have ever been to & it was fun because of Eco Holiday. Those 16 days were awesome; well, I can say it was ‘Something Else’ to me. Suman Lama - What a guy he was; I must say my guide was a real professional. Eco Holidays offers you a complete package that you won’t get anywhere else. Thank You Eco Holidays for the wonderful memories. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone.

The most important of all the facilities we obtained while trekking was at the highest level. The guide helped us in all situations. Only one thing I would say that the Eco Holidays travel service is one of the best I've seen in my life. Full credit goes to your stuff. I will definitely suggest my friends to join Eco Holidays.

5.00Being a solo traveler, I was a bit worried about my trekking expedition at Nepal but it was all taken care of by Mr. Dharel the owner of Eco Holidays Company including the paper works. I was put in an existing group and we were all set to go trekking on the Everest Base camp. Those 16 days were fun filled and it was an amazing experience with my fellow trekkers. Exciting as the trip was, I was mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the Himalayas. Kudos to the Eco Holidays team. Definitely the best guide company I have come across.

5.00I did Everest Base Camp in April with Eco Holidays Nepal. Before booking a trek, I emailed many times with Dhruba(Owner of Company). He provides all the information at a reasonable cost. Once I land Mr. Sajjan manager of the company picked up from the airport. Next morning I and my guide Suman start our journey. When we were in Lukla we meet our Porter Ramu. After all, fixed we started to walk. To reached EBC(Everest Base Camp)took 7 days. What a lovely time with eye catches scenery. How great my guide and Porter. After successfully done this trek we back to Lukla which was 5 days more walk down. Overall I had a fantastic trek and enjoyed a lot. I can be recommended this company to everyone.
