Good attention and travel management

Maybe we were not lucky, but we are quite disappointed with Naturtrek and I would not recommend them, at least to make the trek through Gokyo Ri and Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Now that we have lived it, I sincerely tell you that the trek can be done for free perfectly. All the way is well marked, you don't stop finding people and it has nothing dangerous.nnWe were assigned a very young and barely experienced guide (it was his 4th or 5th trek). More than a guide, it seemed we had a servant. We already know how to put our canteen in the backpack and order food in the lodges. We did not need a waiter, what we needed was a guide to explain how many km the stage would have the next day, if we were going to find snow in the Chola Pass, what would be the last lodge with a decent shower, where we could charge the mobile phones for free or where to eat with good views. To explain things about the park, its mountains and the culture of its people. But we didn't have any of that ... Luckily we had the track downloaded on the clock and we knew perfectly when we were coming up or down and how many km were left to reach the lodge on duty.nnA carrier was included in the price. Comment on this, that the supposed carrier was chosen by our random guide, from among the horde of porters around you upon arrival at Lukla airport and the chosen one was a younger boy. We told the guide that we didn't want a minor boy and after discussing for 10 minutes, nothing changed. They tell you that in Nepal it is normal, but for me it is child exploitation. We loaded everything we could in our backpacks and gave him the bags and little else.nnTo all this, comment that the poor guide tried very hard, he was a very noble boy and did what he could with the brown they left him. It is not his fault, but of Naturtrek for not assigning someone with more experience and more mischief.nnOn the other hand, indicate that Naturtrek works with the airline Sita Air to fly to Lukla, a company that has 2 aircraft in its fleet, when other companies such as Tara Air or Summit have many more. This means fewer daily flights and with 2-3 hours of working window to fly to Lukla for visibility, it is easy to stay on the ground. Well, that happened to us, while the Tara Air planes did not stop coming and going, from Sita Air came 2. And of course, the bad weather arrived and we could not fly. This affected us to the return itinerary, that is, they told us that we had to shorten the trekking 1 day because we could not fly the first day, as if we were to blame ... We had to make two 20km runs instead of a stop in Tengboche to sleep, as originally planned.nnThat said: trekking through Gokyo Ri and Everest Base Camp, FOR YOUR ACCOUNT, NOTHING OF AGENCIES. IT IS SPECTACULAR!nnThank you.
