While I was searching for our trek experience I must admit that no guides where as analytical and informative as Mountain IQ. All info was to the point and extremely professional.

ebc trek tours

Hey, I’m Mark.

I started this website in 2014 after hiking to EBC for the first time (I've since hiked both the classic and Gokyo lakes routes). Over 2 million people have visited and benefitted from this site.

For 3 years I ran a major EBC trek operator. 

Today I run Skyhook - an adventure travel booking platform that connects travellers with guides I've personally vetted.

My aim is to provide expert advice to help you prepare for a safe and successful EBC trekking experience.
