It is an incredible journey to reach EBC. It takes a lot from your body, mind and spirit to complete this challenge. However, it offers an incredible reward with the beautiful views and amazing people on the way.

Kat was an excellent guide, always willing to go the extra mile to take care of the group and make us feel safe. I always felt I was in good hands, and I felt safe that even if I felt sick, I would be taken care of. My guide always asked us how we were feeling and made sure we were very informed about everything that was happening to our bodies and how to deal with them. The CTSS facilities at Lobuche and Everest Base Camp were awesome!

I originally signed up with 57hours and was referred to CTSS. I was impressed from the very beginning because of the meticulous guides to the itinerary, gear list, and responsiveness by members of CTSS. They answered every question promptly and went out of their way to ensure I would have a safe trip.

Was a really unique way to do an Everest Base Camp trek alongside an Everest summit team. I thought it would be intimidating and I wouldn’t be a bit of an outlier as I was just a trekker, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. CTSS’s camp, guides, and professionalism were second to none. I felt honoured to be part of their team.

CTSS is a class act! The team and facilities are world-class. Every detail of the expedition was perfect. Mike’s decision-making, Tendi’s guidance, the strength of our Sherpa team, and the food Kumar was producing were second to none. You only had to see the look on the faces of team members from other operators…to know we had something special. I can’t wait to climb with CTSS again.

An incredible experience from start to finish. I can’t say enough what a difference it makes to have a great guide who cares so much about the whole experience and a great time to make the journey so special. I hope this is the first of many climbs with CTSS for me.
