  The trip to Everest Base Camp was awesome. The trek was challenging but our guides - Kate and Suideep - gave all of us encouraging words, and helped us carry on. Active is a great company - I felt taken care of and treated special. The guides and porters looked after us. I have only heaps of praise...

  This trip to EBC was very rewarding and full of new views every step of the way to Kala Patthar summit. Seeing Everest as the sun came up with a clear sky, and the sun rising behind all the peaks was the best part of the trip. EBC and every peak was a sight that most see on a picture, map, or on the web. Being in person seeing the views took your breath away at 5550 meters you don’t need much help on that one as your standing around the ridge celebrating with those of the team that came to the summit with you. The leaders Kate, Sudip, and Babeek did a great job every step of the way through the whole trip! The food and tea houses were well chosen were much nicer than I thought we would be staying at on this trip. If I could have washed my clothing and grabbed a few treats, I would have done the trek again to EBC.

  Really handsome tour guides and local tour guide Gokul had a superb mustache. My impression was that relative to other guides DK has a much more solid understanding of the culture, local history, trekking, and appreciation of the local flair than other foreign guides. In addition, his relationship with local guide Gokul was first class. You will obviously have to cope with long hikes, cold, and altitude but I thought the Active team did a great job of making everything they could as easy as possible and keeping the attitude optimistic. All-in-all really enjoyed the trip. From what I understand, DK also has a vision to continue to improve the trip so that future participants should be even safer, learn even more about the local flora, fauna, and people through iPads etc.

  This being my third trip with Active again proved to be what I had expected. Well organized, satisfactory accommodations, food aplenty, knowledgeable guides and in general a fantastic time. Active always seems to get it right. I've never doubted their abilities to make my Active vacation a memorable experience. Thanks so much.

  I enjoyed the trip and glad we did it, but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be - physically and mentally. It is a beautiful country with great people. Kate and guides were GREAT!!

  The EBC trip was awesome! To walk among the Himalayan mountains with fresh snow on them was simply breathtaking. It was so interesting to see the culture of the Nepali people as we walked along. Katie, Sudip and Bebeck were the best!

  I was telling one of my co-workers before I left on the trip that it was going to be a challenging trip both mentally and physically and how rewarding it would feel when completed. The trip lived up to my expectations. Everything from the guides, local people, and the scenery were all fantastic. The unexpected snow only made it better by enhancing the beautiful mountains. Our guides Kate and Sudip were awesome.

  It really was the trip of a lifetime, and a dream come true for me. A epic experience in every way! It was my first time in Nepal, really my first time in a developing country. As I had arrived early and already trekked Annapurna Sanctuary, I was up for the challenge of EBC. We had really great guides...Katie and Sudip...they were very attentive to our needs, professional, very informative and knowledgeable, personable and a lot of fun to be with! Bibek our assistant guide was always there to lend a hand and make the trip easier. And our porters continued to entertain us and provide much needed transport support, always with a big smile:))) The trekking terrain in the Himalayas is stellar! Every day provides new vistas, new experiences, more cultural awareness. The camera was always on duty! And never bored! The experience of being at such altitude...(which our guides prepared us for very well), in such a remote area of the world despite the hordes of people...the trekking culture...life in the tea houses..local people and their daily life and work...the hill country, forests, different vegetation...all made for such a rich and life changing adventure. I loved every aspect of life on the trail and experiencing all that Nepal had to offer. It was not always easy, it had its own challenges and hardships..but was worth every moment. I can't wait to go back......!

  What an incredible trip. With every step and turn a new photo framed itself ready to shoot. The scenery is spectacular through the lens, but nothing as spectacular as being there soaking in the grandeur of it all.
