Everest Base Camp trekking
7th November, 2022
I traveled with skyline experience for their trek to EBC in April 2017. And i enjoyed every moment of it! Mr. Madhav was always available and very helpful to answer all my questions. He provides me with all the information i needed, so i felt very save before going on the trek.
On the trek i had my guide Sanjay. Sanjay was amazing company on the trek. He is very knowing, helpful, attentive and has very good English skills. Without Sanjay i am sure i would not have made it to EBC and back to Lukla. He made an amazing effort to make the trip everything and more than expected.
I would therefore highly recommend using Skyline treks with Sanjay as your guide!

EBC Trek
7th November, 2022
Our group had a fantastic time on the EBC trek with Madhav and our fantastic guide- Sanjay. Mahdav runs a top notch agency and we felt comfortable knowing that he was in the background making sure we were safe. In total we arranged a 12 day trek with 7 people through Skyline, virtually everything was arranged by Madhav who also made himself available for communication throughout our trek. In fact, Madhav frequently called in to our guide to make sure we were doing okay! At the end of the trek we decided to do an impromptu trip to Chitwan which was also organized by Skyline and Madhav. Our stay in Nepal could not have gone smoother and this is largely due to the character of Madhav.
Our EBC trek itself was safe, exciting and rich thanks to the expertise of Sanjay (our guide). I would recommend Sanjay, Madhav and Skyline to anyone looking to do the EBC trek or other excursions in Nepal!

It was my first encounter with high altitude at 5,364 meters and first experience in the high Himalayas in Nepal. The connection with Skyline treks for the trip was my best and best decision. Though it was moderate-difficult trek but the care and motivation from my trek guide Sanjay C, I was failed to experience and difficulties throughout the trek.
The more I exalt about Skyline team that would be less so what they deserve is high recommendation. Can’t forget Skyline for quality and comfort service.
