While visiting Nepal I planned a trek to Everest base camp. While I was on my trek I met Suman, a guide from Buna Treks and Expeditions. He was very friendly, helpful and informative even though I was not directly using their company. I would love to go back and do another trek some day and would not only recommend this company to others but use it myself!
