We had an amazing and unforgettable Everest View trip. Raj and Escape Himalaya team made sure we get the safest, and comfortable family trip. Our 11 and 9 y.o. girls got their first experience to Nepal and enjoying it a lot. Since we're taking our trip on June which is a monsoon season and the opportunity to see Everest's peak were very small, Raj do his best till the last day to give us the best scenery to see the peak. We really appreciate his effort. Attentive, full of experience, good knowledge, fun and extra careful are their strength.
