First, some hiccups. The room I booked through Active was at the Thamel Hotel. There were no rooms available when i arrived so I was given a room at a nearby hotel that was NOT nearly the same quality. It was loud with construction going on and not conducive to getting a good night's sleep. It was a comfortable room however. My wife had developed a foot stress fracture while training and active had no interest in working with us to change dates. The entire payment for her was forfeited. The understanding was that I would keep the same rooms that she and I had paid for. That was not the case. In the Sanctuary, I shared with 2 other men. To be fair, that is not Active's fault. However, they did not honor this agreement in other hotels until I called it to our guide's attention. So I started the trip a bit unhappy.
The trek was somewhat harder and far more uncomfortable than I expected. We have done Killi, the Khumbu trail, W-trek, Mont Blanc as well as trekking in the UK and New Zealand. The basic facilities are adequate at best- solar showers, drop toilets, cold huts- so beware there is suffering involved.
That being said, the guides, Kim and Gogul, were great. The scenery was spectacular. The food was excellent. It is a trip I would strongly recommend. I came back with a healthier outlook having enjoyed Nepal, my fellow travelers and the guides.

Although the name of ther trek was "Everest Base Camp", and the sense of accomplishment in reaching the Base Camp was profound, the beauty of the entire trek is what is memorable for me.

October was perfect time to visit the Canyon lands and the Arches. the sights were majestic.
Very disappointed Paid for 6 day of adventures only got 5. Last day was a 15 min walk and then 2 hour return drop off to hotel. we were dropped off at 11 am. the trip was not cheap and to be short changed like that was very unfair. :( you should be more up front with actual itinerary .

So one of my kids is less active and one very active … this trip and the guides especially was so perfect to be accessible to less active one while engaging to the more active one! Perfect balance of activities… the guides were great adult examples of responsible yet fun seeking adults
