Our guide, Sanjay and his team. We got snowed in at Loboche (first time in 20yrs at that time of year apparently?) and never made it to Everest Base Camp. But thanks to some very wise decisions on Sanjays behalf, he got us all down safely the following day in 2m of snow, with 5 sick people in our group (including myself).
The rest of Sanjay’s team were amazing too – Djan, the front guide, was always willing to help out, and teach us some Nepali words and phrases along the way.
Considering we didn’t achieve what we intended, we still had an incredible time. The best part being the manner in which Sanjay kept the group cohesive despite split decisions on whether to go to Everest Base Camp or descend. He is an excellent representative of your company.
