Nepal Eco could not have made my EBC and Gokyo trek any better. Everything was properly planned out and they even had some flexibility with the itinerary. It may cost more than doing everything yourself, but you don't have to worry about anything during the trek as the owner and guide will deal with the issues. My guide, Deepen, was fantastic. I couldn't have found a better guide. He was extremely knowledgeable of the region and told many interesting stories of the area. He was also a great trekking partner, he makes sure you are in a good condition in the morning and told good jokes during the long days. Often, I would be gassed, but he would encourage and push me on to see some memorable views. If I were to trek in Nepal again, I would definitely find him again. I wholeheartedly recommend Deepen to any trekkers.
