Freedom, expression, no curtailments, to be truly alive!!! - Completely congenial right across the board, all the boxes ticked. Professional, polite with an air of humor and humility, when one size fits all it was certainly not the case here, each member of staff, paid a ittle more attention to the needs and tailoured those requirments without being patronising or arrogant. A first rate company see you next year.....

Once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. - The entire trip from the time I left Katmandu until I reached Everest Base Camp and returned to Katmandu was incredible! ECO holidays had everything organized like clockwork and my Nepali guide and portor along with the owner of ECO were wonderful, had my safety as number priority and knew the ins and outs of the trip like the back of their hand. I had forgotton a few things such as rain cover for my backpack and a rain coat and they provided to me on the trip! They were more than just guides and organizers but became good friends who cared about my comfort and safety.

Amazing Everest Base Camp - Everest Base Camp Trek with Eco Holidays was incredible. Everything was settled before travel so I felt comfortable and easy when i was in Kathmandu. My guide Sagar was superb. He was very kind and experienced around Mountains. He arranged best lodges during trek. He had knowledge about first- aid so it helps very much. I was so lucky because during hike up to Dingbouche it was rainy day but after Dingbouche very clear weather. I had perfect weather when I was in Base Camp. I enjoyed very much and highly recommended Mr Sagar for guide. Thank you mr Dhruba owner of Eco Holidays for your advices and arranged my Trek.

A Great Trek from Start to Finish - Eco Holidays Nepal did a great job in helping me accomplish something that I've wanted to do for years: reach Everest Base Camp. The whole team was great. I had some logistical troubles at the beginning, but they were quick to help out in any way they could and manage to solve everything. They really strive to make your trip easy and enjoyable. The same goes for my guide and porter when I was trekking. Any problems that I had it felt like they were already working on a solution before I told them. I would not have had such a great trip without my guide, Sagar, and my porter. They were amazing and made a great trip even better. When I manage to make it back for my next trek, I will definitely be calling Eco Holidays Nepal and I highly recommend their services.
