Full disclosure: I recommend one operator, Third Rock Adventures, and I earn a small referral fee when readers book through them, at no extra cost to you. That is how this site stays free. I only recommend them because I have trekked with them seven times across multiple regions and they have never let me down, including the time their owner personally got me on a helicopter out of Lukla when the airport had been closed for days.
