We came from Switzerland with a very tight schedule. But the NTA was able to adjust our available days in the right direction. Due to our limited time, the 6 day trek to Everest base camp was the best trek for us. I strongly recommend this trekking agency, especially if you have special or personal needs. They will fulfil all your desires and make you trek to one of the best places around the Himalayas.
