Five star trip with Krishna!

We did the Three Passes Trek with Third Rock and couldn’t recommend the company, and the trek, more highly. We thoroughly researched the trip and decided to go with Third Rock, as the founder Naba’s attention to detail was faultless and no question was too much. Our guide was Krishna, and he excelled in all areas - he was so knowledgable about the trek, every place and village we visited, the culture and traditions, the animals, the local people, the terrain and all the mountains we saw and climbed - everything we learnt about Nepal and the Khumbu region is all thanks to Krishna. Along with being very knowledgeable, he is kind, conscientious and caring. From the very first day, nothing was ever too much of an ask. He made sure the whole trip ran smoothly, from us acclimatising well on the way up the mountain, to booking the very best tea houses along the route. Across all Three Passes, Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp, it was Krishna who got us there - we couldn’t have done it without him. Every day he went over and above to make sure we were ok and enjoying the trip. He helped us across icy rivers, over rockfall avalanche fields and even took our poles from us when we scrambled up the steep passes. He gave us great advice every day too - from what food to eat based on where we were staying, to how many layers we should wear. He also knows the very best spots to take photos. He always has a smile on his face and a very sunny disposition, a friendly attitude to wake up to every morning, even when climbing Kala Patthar at 4am in the morning! Overall, our trip has been incredible. The trek, the people, and the epic views from the valleys to the big mountains were breathtaking and out of this world. We would highly recommend it - five stars!
