“As a research scientist working in the Khumbu Himal, I have been using Mega Adventures' logistics support over the past year (2013/14). My experience is not a typical trekker's one, as I need to obtain research permits and hire field help (Sherpa assistance). Mega went above and beyond to assist me in these regards, at a decent cost. A couple of times, when I feared being stranded in the mountains due to weather, they assisted with flight changes and helicopter hires, which helped ease the stress of attempting to do that on my own. The porters they have hired for me have always behaved professionally - without them, there is no way I could have transported all my scientific gear to the mountains. The Sherpa help, in regards to the science and climbing aspects of my work, have led to successful field seasons over the past few months. I am truly grateful for their assistance this year, for making my time in Nepal memorable, and my work in the mountains, fruitful.”
