Gokyo Lake Trek

An Unforgettable Journey to Everest Base Camp 難忘的EBC之旅

I traveled the Everest Base Camp (EBC) route in March 2023 with Basu, the guide from Roving Nepal Trek. Even six months later, the journey remains unforgettable and worth recommending to fellow travelers on TripAdvisor. 我在2023年3月，跟著Roving Nepal Trek的導遊Basu遊歷EBC路線，半年之後，旅程依然難忘，也值得我在Tripadvicor推介這位導遊的團隊。 【Outstanding Comprehensive Service 基本服務齊全無缺】 When hiring a guide, what we truly appreciate is the ease of having someone organize the itinerary, and transportation, manage the essential details, and handle administrative procedures along the way. Basu provided all of this and more. Before our departure, he promptly answered our inquiries on WhatsApp, ranging from entry requirements to equipment advice. Basu's fluent English ensured smooth communication, and he efficiently arranged accommodations and transportation for our group throughout the journey, leaving no room for mishaps. 聘請導遊，最簡單直接的當然是貪圖有人為我們遊客安排行程、交通、打點途中特別要注意的事項和行政程序，Basu可以讓我們放心，在出發前他已經在whatsapp解答我們的大小問題，例如入境和裝備，Basu英語流利，溝通沒有障礙，沿途正確地為我們一行人安排住宿和交通，沒有缺漏。 【Adaptability in Itinerary 行程應變妥善】 Basu's adaptability deserves recognition. Initially, our itinerary included a side trip to Gokyo Lake in addition to EBC. Unfortunately, we encountered a snowstorm at the Cho La Pass, a critical point on the route. Basu had been monitoring the weather, coordinating with other guides, and ultimately decided it was unsafe to proceed, avoiding potential danger. 也值得一讚Basu的應變，本來我們的行程除了EBC之外，還加遊Gokyo湖，但不巧途中必經的Cho la隘口適逢暴雪，導遊預早監察天氣，也和其他團隊的導遊保持聯繫，最後確認不宜前往，免於危險。 Here's an amusing anecdote: In the high-altitude haze, I accidentally took a room key from one of the lodges after checking out, only realizing it two hours into our trek. My initial panic quickly turned into despair at the thought of having to hike back. Basu simply reassured me, "It's OK." He suggested that if we met any returning groups, he could ask their guides to return the key. 也分享一件小趣事，不知是否人在高山，腦子迷糊，我，對了就是我，居然在一處旅店check out後拿走了他們的房間鎖匙！還要走了兩小時山路才發現！那時心下直發慌，該不會要我走回去吧？Basu就說了句"It's OK"，只要遇上逆走的團隊，拜託他們導遊帶回去就好了。 His ability to handle both major and minor challenges is a testament to his quality as a guide. 大小事都有能力應變，也是導遊的品質。 【Attentive Care for Altitude Sickness 細心處理高山症狀】 During the journey, I struggled with symptoms of altitude sickness, including severe asthma, persistent insomnia-induced fatigue, and occasional stomach discomfort. At times, I doubted whether I could complete the trip. It was essential to report these symptoms to our guide. Basu was quick to assess whether my symptoms were severe or just a regular reaction, offering suitable dietary recommendations. 在旅途中，我愈來優受高山症症狀困擾，最嚴重的除了氣喘，還有連續失眠帶來的疲倦，以及小小腹瀉，曾令我一度懷疑是否能完成行程。這時必須和導遊報備，他知道我的症狀是不是嚴重或只是正常反應，也提出合適的飲食建議。 【Acknowledging the Porters' Hard Work 不要忘記挑夫的辛勞】 In addition to our guide, our team hired two porters who carried our luggage along the way. These young men were not only remarkably strong, effortlessly lugging backpacks weighing over ten kilograms, but they also thoughtfully provided us with fresh fruit at every meal, ensuring top-notch service. 除了導遊之外，團隊還聘請兩位挑夫沿途為我們挑行李，都是俊美的年輕人，除了舉重若輕地背上十多公斤的行李袋，還每餐給我們預備水果，服務周到。 【In Conclusion 最後】 Throughout our journey, Basu, became a formidable Big 2 (a card game) player thanks to our group's collective efforts. If you ever visit Nepal, don't miss the chance to challenge him! 在旅途中，Basu被我們一眾隊友鍛鍊成撲克遊戲鋤大D（大老二）的高手，歡迎到尼泊爾挑戰他！ Remember, this review is to highlight the great experience of having Basu as a guide, and I hope fellow travelers find this information valuable when considering their adventure to Everest Base Camp.
