"Food is so so. And the service, full of mistakes. If there’s one thing to recommend, it’s the platter with local appetizers."

"Typical Nepali Tali for a reasonable price. Everything is present and all can be refilled, except for the meat. Although an extra portion will of meat is not that expensive."

"You have a choice of beans here. Coffee was good. Also don’t forget to check out the handicraft shop next door. Lemon cake was really dry though."

"Something to consider while making your route: the west side is a lot steeper. It’s a lot easier going up that way than it is going down. It’s also less busy since most people come up on the east side"

"Basecamp itself is nothing special but the hike there offers you good views of the glacier and in the end you’re treated with nice views of the Khumbu icefall too."

"One of the most spectacular suspension bridges of them all."
