I was just fine till Thorang Fedi. However, while we were ascending further to Thorang La pass, I started to feel some dizziness and headache. Our guide suggested me to not go any further. I am amazed about how he was able to figure out my problem, while all of my friends didn't even have the slightest idea. It must be because of his experience, working at very high altitude. So, me and one of the assistant guides returned back to Thorang Fedi, while all of my other group mates continued further to Thorang la Pass. We continued our trip following the next day. In spite of not being able to continue till Thorang La, this trek was one of the best moments of my life. All the jokes and memories we made, breathtaking views, blending with the Thakali Culture and the professionalism and amazing hospitality shown by the staffs of Shepherd holidays, I am definitely coming back again. 

This is my fourth visit and third Trek in Nepal & now; what can i say is - The best trek in the world is simply - Gokyo Lake Trek. I love everything.  

My colleages and I had a great time rafting! It took about 4hrs to get to the rafting area, lunch was provided, and then we spent 2+hrs on the water, then made our way back to Kathmandu.We hit some class 2 and 3 rapids that was perfect for moderately active adults with no experience.There is not a vehicle that stays with you while rafting but you can secure your items at the boat launch location and they have a "drybox" you can put your items like cellphones, wallets, or passports in if you want to keep them close.I would recommend water shoes of some sort.. We had to walk over a few sections of rocks and i really wished i had been better prepared and that i was not barefoot.At the end there is a changing room so you can change into a dry clothes, but you need to bring your own towel.The transportation part of the trip was the most concerning part to me, but they took care of us and had peope waiting at each stop ready to greet us and make sure we were headed the right direction. All things considered, this was a great trip and i would recommend it to friends!

Everest Base Camp – Cho La Pass – Gokyo Ri Trek is very thrilling trek. Chola Pass was really a beautiful day of my lifetime. Guide Mr Deepak and porters of Shepherd Holidays are kind hearted and helpful. They did their best to help us and run the trek smoothly. Highly recommended these guys. Cheers! 

How difficult is everest base camp trek?This was my first sentence on google about Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty!  then i knew it is not difficulty as people think it. I had doubt untill i reach Kalapathhar wheather i could do it or not but i and my whole family did it well with lots of fun. That was amazing feeling while we were top of the Kalapathhar. The heavenly decorated place. Highly recommended to everyone to reach once in life. 

Today we visited Pashupatinath temple, the surrounding of the temple is magnificent. We found peace and pleasant inside the temple. We saw people burning dead bodies beside the Pashupatinath, in the bank of holy Bagmati River, people worshiping god with great faith, throwing coins in the statues, naked baba's were funny, in short, the whole trip was amazing.

First thing first, we spotted a Red Panda near the Ghoda Tabela forest along the trail. We must have been very lucky, that we got to see this beautiful endangered species. And not just a glimpse, we were even able to capture certain pictures.I'd like to thank Shepherd Holidays for providing the most amazing guide in the world. Nishan was not just a very professional guide, but he was one of the most friendliest person. Thanks for taking so much care and managing all the necessary things required through out the trip. You guys are a true professional. Cheers!

The view from the Base Camp was absolutely breathtaking. I was most fascinated by Mt. Macchapuchre. Sunrise from that point was just amazing. Few of my friends only reached upto the second view point. They really missed out a lot. I however managed to reach Mardi Base Camp. I am glad that my guide motivated me to reach till the top. Mr Prashan was also very efficient in managing all the reservations and plans through out the trip. Even the porters were so friendly and kind. A Definite 5-star. Shepherd Holidays - Thank you for your amazing hospitality.
