A magical trekking experience
I would have wanted to go to the Everest Base Camp, however, was not so sure of the high altitude. Then Vertex Holiday recommended me the Everest Panorama Trek, which was better for me. The views were fantastic, especially from the Everest View Hotel and Tengboche. My guide Samir was helpful and so was porter Prakash. The culture, nature everything was just a magical experience for me.
Next time, will definitely complete the Everest Base Camp trek.
