Awesome Solo Trek with Bibek!

I did a trek with Bibek and recommend him without hesitation. Bibek is highly experienced and professional, and also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. I was under some time constraints so we went from Lukla to about halfway to Everest Base Camp. I went on this trip solo and I was a little wary about going by myself. However I never once felt unsafe or alone thanks to Bibek. He made me feel at ease, explaining our plans for each day and what to expect, and shared so much knowledge about the region and culture.

He was encouraging and supportive and just fun to chat with as we climbed those endless steps.

If you are considering a trek in the Himalayas, rest assured that Bibek will handle every detail and you won’t be left spinning your wheels with any logistics. I will treasure that trip forever and I can’t wait to go back.

Unforgettable experience

Everest base camp trekking
Everest base camp trekking
Trekking to Everest Base Camp (EBC) had always been a dream of mine and my wife, and I finally got to make it happen. What made this incredible journey even more special was having Bibek as our guide — truly one of the most professional, kind-hearted, and supportive guides I’ve ever met.

If you’re planning to trek to EBC, I highly recommend going with Bibek as your guide. He’s professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about your experience and well-being. This trek will challenge you — but with someone like Bibek by your side, it becomes not just a physical journey, but an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime

Amazing trek with Bibek!

Bibek was a wonderful guide on my trek to Gokyo Lakes and Ama Dablam base camp. Whether it was getting us to Ramechhap Airport and on the plane to Lukla, or finding the best accomodation on the way, everything was a breeze. Bibek speaks great English, is very kind and super knowledgeable. Nothing was ever an issue, and he really made an effort to ensure we were having the experience possible. Thank you Bibek!
