Desire Adventures are excellent- highly recommended

I recommend Desire Adventures very highly! When planning the trip, communication was excellent. My trip was a little unusual because it was scientific fieldwork, collecting samples. This meant I had specific needs a little different from a standard EBC trek. I messaged a few different agencies, but most of them didn't listen to my needs and just sent generic EBC itineraries. Desire was different, they responded to my ideas.
When I arrived in Kathmandu, there was a lot of disruption to my travel plans due to flooding. Desire worked very hard to get around these problems, and make sure that I could get out on my trek as soon and in as much comfort as possible. It required a lot of communication and making arrangements quickly, and the work that Desire put in took away a lot of stress for me.
The trek itself was great, I stayed in good lodges and my guide looked after me very well. I spoke to some other trekkers on the trail and it seemed like I definitely had better lodges than most. He was always happy to discuss what I needed, and often made requests for me at lodges and other locations. I was given a lot of flexibility to make my own decisions as we progressed, and felt like my guide was there to support me.
If you're planning some trekking, I definitely recommend Desire Adventures. You will be listened to, well looked after, and feel like you are supported in making your own adventure.
