Hi,I'm Chris Choong from Penang, Malaysia. We did a trekking expedition to Everest Base Camp on 28/2/11 to 16/3/11. There was 8 of us in the team. We engaged Mr. Tandi Sherpa of MOUNTAIN HIKING & TREKKING Pvt Ltd to be our guide as he was highly recommended by our team leader who had engaged him in the past for his previous trekking expeditions.
Mr Tandi organized our itinerary, accompanied us during our stay in Kathmandu, flight to Lukla, trekking up to Everest Base Camp and back to Kathmandu for a 2 days city tour. Throughout our stay food, transfer and accommodations were well arranged. During our trek Mr. Tandi and his crew of porters (Mr. Dorjhi, Mr. Gobi & 3 other young man which I don't recall their names) did an excellent job of making sure we were well equipped and made sure they could off load any excess load that they could from us, making the hike as pleasant as possible for us. Their duties did not end there as they made sure we were well fed and served whenever we had a break or a meal.
At the altitude of 4300meters a few of us got hit by bad altitude sickness and Mr. Tandi and our team leader advised that we descend as safety is of primary concern for those that were hit. We can clearly note Mr. Tandi and our team leader's professionalism in managing this safety concern. Everything went smoothly during our descend and everyone recovered well from altitude sickness. We would like to thank Mr. Tandi, the porter's team and our team leader for dealing well with this situation.
Our team would like to make another attempt at Everest Base Camp again next year and we are certain to engage Mr. Tandi again.
Last but not least we would like to thank Mr. Tandi Sherpa and his team of porters for their hard work and dedication in providing the best treatment in ensuring everyone was happy, comfortable and safe during our trip.
P/s: Thank you Mr. Tandi for inviting us to your home and preparing that delicious Nepalese dinner.
Best Regards,
Chris Choong
