Reviews
Accomplished Everest base camp and Gokyo Chola pass trek batch in March 2017
‘Everything is possible if the effort is great’ so I put all my best effort for this long and high altitude trek in Nepal Himalayas. The experience was mixed-bad that filled with happiness, exhaustion, enthusiasm, difficulties and fearsome moments.
Can’t forget the tough part of this trek as Gokyo and Chola pass crossing day, what a pass day filled with adventure so for me it is more than a trek.
Thank you the entire team of Skyline treks and I would specially like to mention Dheeraz C my high altitude trek guide for uncountable memories you had provided with no bother. Unconditionally recommend to Skyline and team.
