Tough but Successful Everest Base Camp
The toughest part of the trip is getting your body used to "squatting". The up and down hiking, for me, was an opportunity to push my body and mental toughness. Sadly due to Monsoon season, I was unable to see Mt. Everest. On the other hand, the goal of the trip was not to see Everest rather to make it to Base Camp. In this regard our trip was very successful. Our guide introduced us to many people that shared plethora & stories of Everest ascents, adventures and travels. K.B.(our guide) was strong, competent and very knowledgeable. He knew the exact heights of every mountain peaks pass and village along our trip. Furthermore he could estimate with tremendous accuracy, the distance and times to the next destination. An overall success and a great experience.

Well, the trek is a brilliant journey in Nepal. It's amazing adventure that everyone should do when they are in Nepal. We had an amazing time in Nepal with Life Dream Adventure Pvt. Ltd. They look after every single thing throughout the journey. Our guide Hari was great with lots of knowledge from the area. He was always supportive to make sure that we are having comfortable time. The mountain, hills, villages and the rivers were our friends for two week long treks in Nepal together with our guide. A fantastic trip to Nepal, thank you Life Dream Adventure team.

Fantastic Everest Base Camp Trek
We just arrived back in Kathmandu after a fantastic 3-weeks trek to Everest Base Camp with our guide Hari. The trek itself was pretty tough walking, but very rewarding with seeing many amazing snowy peaks, including a few glimpses of Everest. The lodges + guesthouses we stayed in were good + very friendly. Hari, our guide has been a real star throughout our trek. He has been very friendly thoughtful + kind to us throughout. And looked after me when I was sick one day. Although he kept beating us at cards. Thanks to Hari for helping me to reach Everest Base Camp + fulfill one of my dreams. We'd highly recommend booking a trek through Life Dream Adventure and if you can get Hari as your guide then the entire better.

Great Experience of Everest Trekking
We have been trekking with Life Dream Adventure Mr.OB from Lukla to Tengboche on the EBC trek (our first trek in Nepal ever). The entire experience with Hari and OB was great from the beginning. Hari helped us in planning the entire trip - from accommodation in Kathmandu to all trek planning - and addressed all the questions and concerns we had. The 10 days we had with OB on the mountains were a great experience. From setting the route and pace, through accommodation and food, to assisting us when we had a medical need - highly recommended.

Great company for a trekking experience in Nepal!
I recently had the opportunity to embark on the Everest Base Camp trek with Life Dream Adventure's guide, and I can confidently say that it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.
From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu, Life Dream Adventure took care of everything - from arranging transportation to organizing permits and accommodations. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the trek and the surrounding area, and was always available to answer any questions we had and provide valuable insights and advice.
The trek itself was nothing short of breathtaking. From the stunning views of the Himalayas to the quaint villages and monasteries we passed through along the way, every step of the journey was filled with awe-inspiring sights and experiences. Our guide ensured that we had plenty of time to acclimate to the altitude and take breaks when necessary, and even provided us with traditional Nepalese meals that were absolutely delicious.
Perhaps what stood out most to me about Life Dream Adventure's guide was their unwavering commitment to ensuring that we had a safe and enjoyable trek. They were constantly checking in on our physical and emotional well-being, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and happy throughout the entire journey.
Overall, I would highly recommend Life Dream Adventure and their guide to anyone looking to trek to Everest Base Camp. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their clients truly made this an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for years to come.

I have been planning this trip for three years! Mr. Hari and his company Life Dream Adventure helped me realized my dream. First, I like to thank Mr. Hari for taking care of all logistics for my Everest Base Camp trip. I had my plans and Mr. Hari managed to get me a highly experienced and talented guide, Mr. Shiva Puri who made my dreams to reality. His vast knowledge about the Everest region and his good manners made my 13 days of customized trekking-Ama Dablan BC, EBC, Kala Pathar, Chola Pass and Goyko, a great success. Mr. Puri is very friendly and helped me acclimatized properly. He ensured hike high and sleep low every day of the hike! He is very caring and frequently reminded to wear proper gears to protect against cold. More importantly, Mr. Puri is a fun person and I am so grateful to know him. Overall I am super pleased with Mr. Puri, my guide and definitely recommend him and Mr. Hari to all my friends and family who like to take similar endeavors.
