Everest base camp Trek in April Review:

Hay Namaste! I am James from the UK. I visited the Everest base camp trek in 2012. It is a wonderful Trek and thanks Nabin for advising us to do the trek in the spring season. I have my holidays in April so I landed at Kathmandu airport on 10 April 2012. The welcome from the magic Himalaya trekking team is awesome. We had the culture dinner in the evening which is outstanding to know different cultures of Nepal. While on trek we got to know different things about Nepal from our guides. We meet different people coming for Everest expeditions. We had a wonderful chat with those people. They seem on tension and some on deep concentrations.

While we reach Gorakshep and Laubecha it seems the town is over the capacity. Thanks to our guide and magic Himalaya team for making our booking and making sure we have our accommodations. About the food, we have to give orders earlier and they provide on time. Sometimes 20 minutes later or earlier that’s normal here. While we reach the base camp we had seen lots of tents and people. We had some awesome pictures on tents and base camp. We also visited the doctors and check our conditions if all are OK. The next morning we have clear weather and its awesome view. We can able to see base camp from Kalapether top Which is awesome. I recommended doing Everest base camp in April. I like it so much. You can try this experience!
