点评:I trekked with Mountain Monarch (MM) December 2024/January 2025 to EBC, and I cannot find a word that would describe the AMAZING experience and the service that was provided by MM. This is a trek that is not to be taken lightly, and you want to make sure you are looked after from all aspects. My Journey started in April 2024 when I contacted MM as they were highly recommended by a friend who trekked with them few years back. From the first email I sent with questions, Pradeep responded the same day to my questions, and it was a no brainer to go ahead and book with them for the price you pay and what you receive, it's a great deal, so there are no surprises. I was impressed that the Sleeping bag, duffel bag and warm jacket was included as other companies provide but for a fee, MM provided at no additional cost.
At Kathmandu Pradeep did a gear check with me as he was happy to provide if I had forgotten anything. Pradeep drove me to the airport and arranged check in etc. When I arrived in Lukla Airport, Nima my guide and Anis my porter was there waiting for me, we did the meet and greet, Nima also did a gear check and went through what the day would like, and off we went.
Nima every evening would go through what to expect the next day, as we trekked, he would provide, history, point out to the various beautiful mountains and their names, he would tell me about the Nepalese culture and so much more, he is extremely knowledgeable. He would ensure my meals were served before he would even eat. Nima constantly would check in on how I was feeling particular as elevation increased and coming from Australia where I live elevation is at sea level. Safety was key and Nima ensured I was safe the whole trek. I loved that we took a path that is off the main track and experienced most beautiful scenery. Nima is medically knowledgeable, and he was equipped with medical supplies should there be a need, whilst it wasn't required, I was comforted by the fact that he would know what to do should aid be required.
The tea houses we visited for lunch and overnight where fabulous, clean and comfortable. Nima reputation precedes him, he's loved by all the tea house owners/helpers, and you are treated as family. Everything was done for me by Nima which I was not expecting, as we trekked and talked, I felt as if Nima was like a brother to me, and certainly now a friend for life.
Day 4 started to become challenging and Nima had the "take it slowly approach and no pressure". Day 7 as we were higher in elevation my day pack started to feel heavier which I was expecting, Nima carried my water to lighten the load. That same day in the afternoon, Anis appeared as he had dropped my overnight bag at the teahouse we were staying for that night and returned to carry my day pack which Nima had arranged with him, that helped me immensely allowing me to focus on my walking and breathing.
Day 8, we did it reached EBC, what an amazing experience and feeling, still in awe of the experience and I should add Nima was always pointing out great photo opportunities and I didn't have to do selfies as he was encouraging to take photos of me. I wanted to do a video for the family back home and he was great in filming which my family loved! He knew the exact time to take sunsetting over the mountains with the beautiful golden look.
I have been travelling for over 30 years, and I have never experienced the fabulous service that Nima and MM provided, and I am certain that I will never experience a guide like Nima, he certainly has set the benchmark. I can say much more though space on this page is limited.
I highly recommend MM as they have fabulous operations. Thank you to the driver that Picked up from the Airport on arrival, the great reception I received at the Harati Manor Inn by Shushil and Uttam, I was looked after pre and post the Trek. Thanks to Rams for the City tour of Kathmandu which was great. Thank you, Pradeep, for continuing the Trek even though others had cancelled, and I was the only one given it was group trek. Anis, I miss your beautiful smile, and I am grateful for you carrying my bag. And Nima, I don't have enough words to thank you, you are a beautiful person, and I miss you sharing stories of your family. Thank you, and I will certainly use MM when I am in Nepal next. Eima.
翻译:我于 2024 年 12 月/2025 年 1 月与 Mountain Monarch (MM) 一起徒步前往 EBC,我无法找到一个词来描述 MM 提供的惊人体验和服务。这是一次不容小觑的徒步旅行,你要确保自己在各个方面都得到照顾。我的旅程始于 2024 年 4 月,当时我联系了 MM,因为几年前和他们一起徒步旅行的朋友强烈推荐了他们。从我发送的第一封电子邮件开始,Pradeep 就在同一天回复了我的问题,考虑到你支付的价格和你收到的东西,毫不犹豫地向他们预订,这是一个很划算的交易,所以不会有意外。令我印象深刻的是,睡袋、行李袋和保暖夹克包含在内,其他公司提供,但需要付费,而 MM 不收取额外费用。
在加德满都,Pradeep 和我一起检查了装备,如果我忘记了什么,他很乐意提供。 Pradeep 开车送我去机场,并安排了登机等事宜。当我到达卢克拉机场时,我的导游 Nima 和搬运工 Anis 在那里等我,我们见面并迎接,Nima 还检查了装备,并介绍了当天的行程,然后我们出发了。
Nima 每天晚上都会介绍第二天的行程,在我们徒步旅行时,他会讲解历史,指出各种美丽的山脉及其名称,他会告诉我尼泊尔的文化等等,他非常博学。他会确保在我吃饭之前就把饭菜端上来。Nima 会不断询问我的感受,特别是随着海拔的升高,而我来自海拔与海平面相同的澳大利亚。安全是关键,Nima 确保我在整个徒步旅行中都很安全。我喜欢我们走一条偏离主干道的路,欣赏最美丽的风景。 Nima 拥有丰富的医学知识,并且配备了医疗用品以备不时之需,尽管不需要,但我很高兴他知道在需要帮助时该怎么做。
我们去的茶馆午餐和过夜都很棒、干净、舒适。Nima 名声在外,他深受所有茶馆老板/帮手的喜爱,你被当作家人一样对待。Nima 为我做了一切,这是我没有想到的,当我们徒步旅行和交谈时,我感觉 Nima 就像我的兄弟一样,现在肯定是一生的朋友了。
第 4 天开始变得具有挑战性,Nima 采取了“慢慢来,不施加压力”的方法。第 7 天,随着海拔越来越高,我的背包开始感觉更重,这是我预料到的,Nima 帮我拿水以减轻负担。同一天下午,Anis 出现了,他把我的旅行包放在我们当晚住宿的茶馆,然后回来拿 Nima 为我准备的背包,这给了我很大的帮助,让我可以专注于步行和呼吸。
第 8 天,我们到达了 EBC,这是一次多么奇妙的经历和感觉,我仍然对这次经历感到敬畏,我应该补充一点,Nima 总是指出很棒的拍照机会,我不需要自拍,因为他鼓励我拍照。我想为家里的家人拍一段视频,他拍摄得很棒,我的家人很喜欢!他知道拍摄山上日落的确切时间,日落时分的金色景色非常美丽。
我已经旅行了 30 多年,我从未体验过 Nima 和 MM 提供的出色服务,我肯定我永远不会遇到像 Nima 这样的导游,他肯定树立了标杆。虽然本页的空间有限,但我可以说的还有很多。
我强烈推荐 MM,因为他们的运营非常出色。感谢抵达后在机场接我的司机,感谢 Shushil 和 Uttam 在 Harati Manor Inn 对我的热情接待,在徒步前后都照顾我。感谢 Rams 组织了很棒的加德满都城市之旅。感谢 Pradeep,尽管其他人都取消了徒步,但你还是继续了徒步,而且由于这是团体徒步,我是唯一一个参加的人。Anis,我想念你美丽的笑容,感谢你帮我拿包。还有 Nima,我没有足够的语言来感谢你,你是一个美丽的人,我很想念你分享你的家人的故事。谢谢你,下次我去尼泊尔时一定会找 MM。Eima。
