We hiked to Everest Base Camp with Blue Lake Travels and Tours and our Guide. The Tour was great. The views were amazing. Everything was perfectly organized. Our Oxygenlevel was measured by our guide daily, this made us feel safe and also gave us the confidence to be in Professional hands. Our Guide was very helpful, reliable and friendly. We made it up to EBC, we had a great time and we would highly recommend everyone to join the adventure. Mountain Mart and our guide Lakpa fully met our expectations and we are happy about the choice we made. Lodges and food were also better than expected. The trip is exhausting but worth every step!
