As a single traveller I am always a bit apprehensive about compatibility but from the moment we first met up as a group I just knew this tour was going to be special, without exception everyone had the same aim and that was to enjoy themselves and have a memorable holiday. The scenery was simply spectacular, my personal aim was to see Everest and I saw it on such a clear day the memory will live with me forever. The tea houses were all very comfortable, hard to believe some even had electric blankets!!! The food was very balanced and varied, I was even provided with my own salad on a daily basis because I mentioned I didn't like cucumber!!! I would strongly recommend anyone taking this tour seriously prepare before leaving as its essential to have a good level of fitness. The tour leader can make or break a tour its such an important role and Sudarshan KC was just amazing, a truly wonderful man who took pride in making sure each and every group member wanted for nothing, if you were happy he was happy. For anyone thinking of taking this tour, think no longer just do it you won't regret it. (DEK - 23rd October 2011)
