I trekked to Everest Base Camp with Binod in October 2005. I found him to be an excellent guide and also very good company during the 2 weeks we were in the mountains. Binod is a very patient and friendly individual and always keen to teach you about his country and its people. His spoken and written English is almost perfect so any concerns you may have can be easily discussed with him either along the track or even just finalizing trip details via email.

The trekking itself was an amazing experience; the scenery just gets better the higher you go. Apart from a few headaches over 4500 meters we had absolutely no problems along the way.

I also have to mention the invaluable assistance of our two porters Chandra and Raz. Without them it would have been a very different trek. Not sure we would have made it in 12 days having to carry our own backpacks.

Chandra has worked with Binod for a number of years and is immensely friendly and helpful, and I never saw him without a huge smile on his face the whole trip. I will definitely trek with Binod again sometime in the future. If you have any questions about the Everest trek just drop me an email.
