time, we have devised this two week trek to Everest Base Camp which runs directly to and from Lukla. it take 15-17 days for more information please see this link http://www.explorehimalaya.com/everest_b\\... Thank you 9 months ago I had to post this in the forum column after returning from our trek since my boyfriend and I had the absolute best time trekking in the Everest region! His name is Sanjib Adhikari and his email is sanjib-adhikari@hotmail.com , he is licensed by the country of Nepal and has been a trekking guide for over 12 years. I found him through the posted forums when I was inquiring about trekking since my boyfriend and I only had 5 days to trek and really wanted to see mount Everest. He was able to customize a plan to get us as close as possible. We had a blast! I'd love to send you photo's of our trek and trust me there was a part when we were climbing the hill to get to Namche and I thought I was going to die! Sanjib was so patient and his knowledge of the mountain area and all of Nepal is commendable! We met up with a couple of other people trekking and had a blast hanging out in one of the places to stay and even the other people were asking Sanjib about routes to take and length of time it would take to get to base camp. He is a smart, honest and genuine person and
