We just arrived back from an amazing Everest Base Camp trek with the folks from Ian Taylor trekking. I rarely take the time to write reviews but we all agreed that their operation deserves to highlighted as a superior option for anyone choosing to do some serious trekking. There is honestly no detail too small that they have not handled or can handle. Their approach to service and making your experience far superior while dealing with many variables (illness, weather, logistical issues, etc.) is truly remarkable. Our guides were tremendous and the folks on the ground in Nepal made everything go smoothly and they always made you feel as though your best interest was the only thing that mattered to them. We would highly recommend Ian Taylor trekking to anyone who is interested in a comprehensive, detailed approach to an exciting adventure.

Completed our Everest Base Camp trek early November. Ian Taylor Trekking are a fantastic company to use for your treks. Excellent communication from the first contact you make with them. All the advice they give is invaluable. The team based in Kathmandu to help there are fantastic. They also provide excellent advice and support. Our trekking guide was awesome. Very experienced and made the journey so enjoyable and easy to accomplish. I sure recommend using Ian Taylor Trekking

I Just wanted to say thank you for an epic and professionally run trek. Most enjoyable and unforgettable experience. Your Staff in Nepal are a credit to your company and feel an extra mention is needed to say how good they were. From the moment I landed at the airport to the hotel and all the way through the trek they were fantastic. Always went that extra mile to make sure we were ok and everything was good. Also I could not fault the information and tips I received before the trek, all contributed to a successful and fruitful mission!! I would not hesitate to use again or recommend Ian Taylor Trekking. My problem now is how do I top this...

We went on the Everest st Base Camp Trek May 2019 and we couldn't say better things about Ian Taylor Trekking and our guides. Our trip was absolutely fantastic. Our lead guide (Kami) was phenomenal. We went a slow and steady pace the entire journey providing us time to acclimate and recover with each step along the way. Other groups would wiz by only to be found later stopped for long periods of time trying to catch their breath. The pace honestly made the trip for us. We were able to really take in the views, drink plenty of water, and continuously be able to acclimate throughout the climb. The accommodations were fantastic. We stayed in the best tea houses along the way and the food was delicious. Our guides were very caring the entire way through and provided immense support throughout our trek. We had 100% success on reaching base camp in our group and although it was a difficult trek, we felt great when we got there! The knowledge of our guides was top notch. We made sure that each and everyday we drank 5L of water and ate a full breakfast lunch and dinner. It was difficult at times, but we stayed healthy, our muscles weren't sore, and we had no signs or symptoms of altitude sickness. We followed the packing list and all the information provided by Ian Taylor Trek king and didn't need anything else. We had everything we needed to make the journey successful and comfortable. We will absolutely be thinking about Ian Taylor Trekking when we make our choice to trek across the world again! Thank you for having such a great company and the best guides on the mountain!

Namaste, Awesome!!!! Ian Taylor Trekking!! There are no words that can truly express my gratitude to you Ian, and Laura. My experience on September 2019 sleep at EBC trek is beyond words. From the moment I found you on Google to our first communication I knew I was dealing with a professional company that I was willing to put my safety with and one that reassured my wife I had found the right company. When I applied for the trip I knew that your company was more than serious about the well being of not only you but the rest of the team, by your screening process. Your concern for us was so apparent at the airport with the smiling face of Dawa Chirri Sherpa and driver. Dawa and wife Kay are a team that enriched my cultural experience of Nepal, the 4 days before and 3 days after the trip. Your concern for your clients safety and concerns for an enjoyable positive experience by stressing training,training training made my experience nothing but enjoyable. 14 days of enjoyable trekking, laughing,joking,and feelings of major accomplishment. When I was 50 I hiked Kilimanjaro, with another company, and was concerned at 63 I would have the same experience, massive headaches for days,nausea, confusion,hard time breathing,and enjoyable views thinking this was what was normal. I can tell you if you adhere to the training you may be challenged when you need to be . I can tell you I was so well prepared by you. Thank you. The time spent with our support team was one of family as we were all so we'll prepared. Head guide Pasang Lama Sherpa was unreal what a great person along with Gelbu Lama Sherpa, Dawa Lama Sherpa and Tendi Sherpa were spot on every minute of the day doing things before you even would asked.. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome is the only way to describe these men. Ian and Laura you ought to be so proud of your company and the wonderful things you have done for people like me. Even above that how you have impacted,in a most positive way,the people of the villages and tribes all over the the hiking world. May God continue to bless your wonderful work. Subra din, George

Ian Taylor Trekking is the REAL deal! If you want the greatest opportunity for success in reaching your goal, mine was sleeping at Everest Base Camp, their itinerary and staff are focused and built to help you achieve that success. This is a top notch organization and very professional. Guides are knowledgeable, friendly, and there for you every step of the way. If you are going to sleep at Everest Base Camp, you will be blown away by the work and detail they put into the experience. Can't praise these guys enough…would I do it all over again or another trip with Ian Taylor Trekking…ABSOLUTELY

Thank you Thank you Thank you .

If I say I had the trip of my life time, that would be putting it in words mildly. This trip was everything that I imagined in my wildest imaginations/dreams and some more.

Choosing Ian  Taylor Trekking Team (I3T) to guide us through this endeavor was one of the best decisions. I can’t take any credit for it because I considered and accepted Hari’s endorsement.

To me Laura you are the I3T team.  I say that because you were my one stop contact for everything.  Your guidance, support, promptness in responding to my mostly novice queries is one of key elements of this success. And for that and everything else I convey my gratitude to you from the bottom of my heart.  Needless to say if ever I plan another excursion like this you will be my go to team.

The I3T team in Kathmandu; Dawa and Sonam seems to have a magic wand under their sleeves.   They arranged/organized everything that we desired within no time and were there for us every step of the way.  Heartfelt thanks to both Dawa and Sonam for their continued help and support.

Pasang, Tendi, Dilip and Chander, the phrase “SERVICE WITH A SMILE ” defines them.

We did not spend as much time with Dilip and Chander because they are sprinters.  They would generally start after us and would reach the desired stop before us.  Because of them we always had our duffle bags waiting for us in the room when we arrived.  Both Dilip and Chander are sweethearts.  Appreciation for both of them and I wish them happiness, health and success forever.

Pasang Dada as I generally called him.  Dada is a term for an elder brother in Hindi, although he is younger than me in age.  Pasang truly acted as an elder brother whose main goal for us was to enjoy and succeed in our effort.  He wore different hats and changed them as needed.  In addition to our associate he was also a mentor, entertainer,  team physician and nutritionist.  His guidance and backings is another key element of our success.  Thank you PASANG DADA for your wittiness and morale boost that made this trip fun and frolics.  And one last announcement for DADA “BHOOL NA JANNA” which means please don’t forget us ever.  Please share this with him and I am sure this will put a smile on his face.

Tandy is a man of few words but his dedication and thoughtful preparations day after day was another key element of our accomplishment.   Tandy somehow knew that we were having difficulty on climbing or descending and would always strategically place himself at a position where he could lend us his support.  I remember his support during the first hour of Kala Patthar descending not just made it safe, but also faster.  Tendi also thanks for taking several pictures from multiple cameras and help us share our experiences with friends and family.  SMILE TENDI SMILE .

In summary THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING OUR DREAM OF REACHING EBC A REALITY.

Regards and Gratitude.
