“At the end of February 2015, I was traveling with Gelu Sherpa in a guided tour to Everest Base Camp Trek, it was all very well organized and Gelu was the perfect travel companion, very charming and funny, he has a great deal of knowledge about the area People, the mountains and culture and re... See more ligion. Our trekking was very good, except for a late winter break in the Khumbu Valley, where we were then snowed. The Porters and Sherpas did everything, the treks were cleared and we were able to get back to Namche Bazar. Unfortunately, we had to change the route due to the snow and then made the slightly lower trek from the airport Lukla to Jiri. A wonderful trekking tour, where you got to know original Nepal with its lovely people and their way of life very authentically. It was still two very strenuous snow-covered passes on the route that demanded everything from us. Overall, you can fully trust Gelu Sherpa and his organization, everything is well organized and I would plan with him again on my next trip to Nepal. See less...

Nachdem wir nun schon zwei Touren im Himalaya durchgeführt hatten, wollten wir endlich eine Tour zum Everest-Base-Camp starten. Diesmal aber nicht über eine deutsche Reiseagentur, sondern es sollte eine Privattour werden. Von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme mit Gelu bis zum Ende der Tour sind w... See more ir begeistert von der professionellen Betreuung/ Begleitung. Gelu reagiert sehr schnell auf Anfragen/Wünsche und macht das dann passend. Bei Gelu spürt man seine jahrelanger Erfahrung als Guide. Er ist ständig bemüht, das Optimale für seine Gäste z. B. in den Lodges herauszuholen. Da wir nur zu zweit unterwegs waren, konnten wir die eine oder andere Annehmlichkeit in der Lodge genießen (z. B. „Elektrobett“ 😎 - Wärmedecke). Gelu ist bei seinen Kollegen und den Lodge-Inhabern ein gern gesehener Geschäftspartner. Eine Touränderung, um einen anderen Rückweg einzuschlagen, hatte Gelu innerhalb 10 Minuten erstellt, bzw. die geänderten Übernachtungen und den Lukla Flug umgebucht. Auch bei unserem anschließenden Aufenthalt in Kathmandu, war Gelu stets hilfsbereit. Wir können Gelu uneingeschränkt als professionellen Guide empfehlen. Lieber Gelu, wir wünschen Dir viele zufriedene Trekking-Kunden, um Dein Unternemen weiter erfolgreich wachsen zu lassen. Für uns war das eine unvergessliche Trekkingtour. Wir haben viele sehr schöne Erinnerungen mit nach Hause genommen. Herzlichst aus Hamburg Thomas & Ellen See less...
