Great experience with an excellent local guide company
Overall, my experience with Heavenly Himalya has been very very good. From making the booking, getting all details in order to being on the trail, on the mountains and having excellent guides along the way. I originally signed up for the EBC to IP trip but on arrival we saw that I had some extra days so we added Lobuche East to the itinerary too. However, on the 8th day, it snowed, and snowed and then snowed some more. I was there in October / November 2025 when 4 days of snow ended up closing all the mountain peaks, overpass trails and even the last part of the EBC. It was crazy as so many people were stranded. It hadn’t snowed this much at this time of year since 1998!! But my guide (the amazing Diwash) kept cool, was able to adjust our itinerary accordingly and everything went ahead smoothly. Long story short, I never made it up IP (it was closed) and didn't make it to EBC as the last part was closed too. Instead we attempted Lobuche East which was an amazing experience. I ended up stopping at 6000m as it didn't feel safe with buried ropes and avalanche risk on the way down in the hot sun. This was a good decision as during my time there, nearly 20 people died from various causes, many from avalanches, ice fall, rock fall, all in the Everest area. So never underestimate the mountains BUT you can rely on Heavenly Himalaya to get you there and back SAFE!! Definitely am amazing experience and I can't wait to return in 2027 to do Mera Peak!
