Everest Base camp Gokyo Ri

Published: Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Our 6-person team (ages 23 to 53, including my two brothers, my son, my son-in-law and a good friend) returned from Nepal last Saturday, fresh from a wonderful trip to Gokyo Ri, Cho La Pass, Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar.  Devi's care and managerial expertise figured prominently in the logistical success of the trip.  He helped us with the front (trip preparation, possible itineraries, particular questions to be addressed, securing permits, election of competent guides, etc.) and back end (airline transfers and confirmations, accommodations) of our journey.  As the leader of our group, I found that I could trust and rely upon what Devi promised.  He followed through and made sure we were satisfied.  I do believe that Adventure International Trekking provided great value as well as quality.  Our guide Mahendra, was thoroughly experienced and qualified for the routes that we selected and helped us avoid any altitude sickness despite the challenging itinerary selected, the size of our group and the variable conditioning and age of the participants.  The porters selected by AIT were top notch.  Based on the wonderful experience, unsurpassed physical beauty of the country, the friendliness of its citizens and excellent value of the trip we completed, I hope to return to Nepal in the next few years for another trek - and we certainly will use AIT and Devi again.
