I trekked to EBC and climbed Lobuche with Temba and crew. They were amazing and attentive! My group were so well taken care of on the trip. They made sure we were fed, warm and safe and we had the adventure of a lifetime. The crew were knowledgeable about the mountain and the terrain and so fun to spend a few weeks with them! I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know planning to climb in the Himalayas.
I was with Temba and his Adventure 14 summit company on EBC trekking via Gokyo Lake, Chola Pass and Lobuche Peak. Temba (The Himalayan Sherpa) is the best Sherpa and Guide in the Nepal. Fully engaged from start to the end of the trip. He has very big knowledge about climbing, history and culture of Nepal. You can feel very safe with him. No hidden cost.
