Great EBC & Mera Peak Experience with Himalayan Partner I went trekking with Himalayan Partner for twice. Once Everest basecamp in Aug 2016 and 2nd time summited Mera Peak (6461m) in May 2017! Both time went as solo. Ghan (the owner) is extremely helpful. He provided me with experienced trekking/climbing guide (esp good climbing guide for Mera which was really important), arranged the trip based on my really tight schedule and made it flexible (so I did EBC in 7 days which was incredible)... See more as well as help me renting equipment in KTM. Pick up and post accommodation was also well taken care of. Good thing once he knows my trekking capabilities, he can customize my trips and make it suitable for my pace. I should be always going back with them for trekking. See less...
