“My trip with Mega Adventures to Everest Base Camp came at the very end of a 6 month backpacking trip through SE Asia, India, and Nepal. During that period I had booked a handful of little tours including Desert Safaris, Jungle Safaris, but none of them left me with the overall satisfaction that Mega Adventures provided.  They assisted me with booking flights to and from Lukla, arranged permits, helped find the right clothing for the weather, and suppled high quality gear. Gear, such as a sleeping bag, is unbelievably important for trips like this because if you're cold and cant sleep at night, its going to be a longggggg trip. Immediately I liked all the guys I met at the office. Very professional, knowledgable, and make you feel like a friend. In fact I still keep in touch with some of them. Not only will you get the experience of the trip you book but also their knowledge of Kathmandu restaurants and local events will enhance your time before and after the trip. One of my favorite extras was being taken to one of the better restaurants I experienced during my trip. It was a momo shop in the Thamel part of Kathmandu which is generally a very touristy area, but this place had local flavor, local prices, was packed with people and not a tourist in sight. I travel to eat and this place had me coming back multiple times during my stay in Kathmandu. Would I recommend? Absolutely!”
