FROM TREKKERS TO SUMMIT CLIMBERS, DISCOVER WHY ADVENTURERS CHOOSE EVEREST ONE
From the Himalayas to Kilimanjaro, every step tells a story. At Everest One, we’re proud to share the voices of climbers and trekkers who’ve trusted us with their journey. Their experiences reflect not only the mountains they’ve conquered, but the friendships, resilience, and unforgettable moments made along the way.
" I had the privilege of climbing Mount Everest under the leadership of Allan Cohrs. As expedition leader and manager of the Everest One team, Allan handled every aspect of the climb with precision and care, from logistics and safety to weather analysis and summit strategy.
​
His judgement proved invaluable when he identified a unique weather window that very few others took advantage of. This allowed me the extraordinary experience of spending forty minutes on the summit of Everest with only my Sherpa – an opportunity made possible by Allan’s expertise and foresight.
​
Allan has the rare ability to be both a trusted friend and a consummate professional. His calm presence, vast network of connections throughout Nepal and the Khumbu region, and deep knowledge of the mountains ensured the climb was smooth, safe, and exceptionally well-managed from start to finish.
​
Beyond his skill and organization, Allan’s companionship made the journey as rewarding as the summit itself. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking leadership, reliability, and experience at the highest level of mountaineering."​
— Conor Coleman - Australia
"I have known Allan for over 30 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else guide me and my family in the mountains.
Allan’s attention to detail, focus on safety and experience working at altitude are first class.
He knows exactly how to get the best out of his clients and when they need encouragement the most.
We would not have achieved successful summits of Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua and Lobuche East along with our trek to Everest Base Camp without him.
In 2023, I joined Allan and the Everest One team on another expedition, this time attempting my first 8000m climb of Manaslu in Nepal.
​
This was a serious undertaking and I was overwhelmed and so proud when, after many weeks of hard work and perseverance, I finally reached the true summit, becoming a member of the 1st Australian team to achieve this.
I have so much faith and trust in Everest One and I wouldn't climb with anyone else."​
— Colin Briggs - Australia
"The beauty of the mountains in Nepal can only be exceeded by the people that live in them. To truly enjoy and soak in all that the Himalayas have to offer, you need to know that Allan, Phunuru, and the rest of the Everest One team have thought of everything.
From the itinerary and accommodation to meals and flights—every detail is taken care of.
This allows you to focus entirely on the experience you came for.
​
In addition to the seamless logistics, you'll enjoy plenty of laughs and engaging conversations along the way. I would highly recommend using Everest One for your next adventure—as I certainly plan to do again."
— Bryce Holley - Australia
“I had the privilege of having Allan from Everest One as my Expedition Leader on Mount Everest, where I successfully reached the summit. A few years later, Allan guided me once again, this time to the summit of Lhotse, the 4th highest mountain in the world. Beyond the Himalayas, I have also climbed with Allan on Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America, and Kilimanjaro, the highest in Africa.
​
Allan is without doubt the most professional guide I have ever climbed with.
On one occasion, I joined an expedition to another 8,000m peak with a different operator, as Allan was guiding on Manaslu at the time. The difference in care, safety, and professionalism was staggering — I was simply not treated to the same standard that Allan and Everest One provide.
​
From that experience I made a promise to myself: I will never climb with another company again. For me, Everest One with Allan is the only choice for future expeditions.”​
— Raul Helander - Sweden
"I’ve been on several trips with Allan and Everest One and only have good things to say about the way he runs his expeditions. When you climb at altitude, you’re placing your life in the hands of your leader and for me, this became very real on Manaslu.
​
Before that, I’d already climbed Aconcagua and Mera Peak with Everest One, both successful summits. What stood out from the very beginning was how Allan took the time to get to know me. He wanted to understand my experience, fitness, and even my personality to make sure I was the right fit for the team. That level of care meant I always felt confident about the group dynamic, which is such an important part of spending weeks together on a mountain.
​
Manaslu, however, was a very different experience. En route to Camp One I developed severe back issues that started to affect my breathing. After a tough and painful day, I finally reached camp, where Allan’s Sherpa team stepped in immediately — making sure I stayed hydrated and nourished even when all I wanted to do was collapse into sleep.
After 48 hours, it was clear things weren’t improving, and the team organised an airlift. They managed difficult negotiations with my insurance company, retrieved all of my gear from the mountain, and coordinated my evacuation to Kathmandu, where I was met at the airport and taken straight to hospital.
​
At every stage, I felt safe and looked after. Everest One’s professionalism, Allan’s leadership, and the expertise of his Sherpa team turned what could have been a frightening ordeal into something I could face with confidence.
​
From the safety and care provided on the mountain to the lifelong friendships I’ve built along the way, I can honestly say I’ll never join an expedition without Everest One."
— Tim Broome - Australia
"I flew into Nepal wanting to stand at the Base Camp flags. Three weeks later I flew out shedding tears after having fallen in love with the country, the culture and the people in it.
From the moment we arrived at our hotel and met Al, we knew we were in the best hands. His big beaming smile, his genuine interest and care for those on his team as we sat around and chatted for hours made us feel instantly like we’d know him for years.
Al got to know each of us personally and helped us to achieve our goals. He quickly became a friend that we laughed until we cried with each night.
He introduced us to the most beautiful Nepalese people, and took us into their homes and villages. I sat at a tea house holding his friend’s beautiful little bubba as we sat and talked with the locals.
Al encouraged and motivated us so positively along the way. He was never rushing us, but instead purposefully stopped us to look up to enjoy the scenery - even pointing out rare musk deer in the forest.
Allan and his amazing team was what made our experience everything that it was. He’s such a top guy he even had a tribute song written for him by his groupies!
Everyone in our team plan to go back again under his guide and I simply wouldn’t go back to Nepal without him."​
— Kylie Flynn - Australia
"My recent Kilimanjaro hike with Everest One and Allan Cohrs was truly the experience of a lifetime. I've always preferred booking with smaller, owner-operated companies because of the personal touch they offer as well as how the passion and effort that it takes to run a small business continuously shines through, and my trip with Everest One proved this was the right choice.
From the initial planning and prep stages to gear consultations, the trek, and all the random in-betweens, the service was top notch. It was a boutique experience where the details and the personal care was evident from the moment we touched down at the airport until our final drop-off.
What truly set this experience apart was Everest One’s individualized approach. The team’s thoughtfulness, genuine care, and compassion for every member of the crew was immediately noticeable. Also, Allan wasn't just a guide; he was a leader who ensured everyone felt supported, both mentally and physically. The guides and the entire support team were top-notch, and the operation was noticeably smooth and detail-oriented. High quality teams, starting hotel, gear, safety, and day to day operations… The seamless logistics allowed me to focus completely on the journey, knowing I was in the most capable hands.
The journey was rewarding, yet challenging, and pushed both mentally and physically. I went with some existing friends and came home having made new ones, all while experiencing a new culture and a part of the world.
I would absolutely recommend and book with Allan and Everest One again. In fact, my friend and I have already signed up to return to the Himalayas with Everest One to trek to Everest Base Camp and summit Lobuche East. Looking forward to another unforgettable adventure with Allan and the team!"
— Erik Newcomb - USA
"We have completed two life-changing high-altitude adventures with Everest One — Mount Kilimanjaro together and, last year, Everest Base Camp as a solo trip for Christina — and both trips exceeded every expectation.
​
Each expedition tested us physically and mentally, but what stood out most was the exceptional organisation, thoughtful pacing for acclimatisation, and the warmth and professionalism of Allan and the Everest One guides and support crews.
On Kilimanjaro we shared laughter, small personal victories and spectacular landscapes that made every early morning worthwhile; on Everest Base Camp the careful logistics, genuine local hospitality and focus on safety turned an ambitious dream into a deeply rewarding reality.
​
Together these journeys felt like complementary chapters of the same story: rigorous yet reassuring, demanding yet profoundly human.
Allan and the Everest One team looked after and guided us through every detail, from kit and meals to route planning and morale which allowed us to immerse ourselves in the mountains and the cultures we passed through.
​
If you want an adventure that challenges you, humbles you, and leaves you richer in confidence and perspective, we can’t recommend these experiences led by Everest One highly enough."
— Christina and Rob Mandanici - Australia
"When it comes to adventures, Mt Everest comes out on top on most people's lists. You imagine yourself standing on top of the world. The reality of how dangerous this is, the costs and commitment this requires, keeps this as an unrealistic fantasy to most. This is how the idea popped into my head, I may not have the means to get to the top, but I wanted to go and get as close as I could. While researching how to do this, I contacted Everest One and Allan.
From the first contact Allan was a wealth of knowledge. Accessible via emails, messages, and calls. Every part of the trip had been carefully thought of, from your fitness preparation, equipment requirements, what to expect, who else will be joining, and who will be there to help. There was no stone unturned. I am not the type to over plan any trip, and wanted to "experience", and "go with the flow". I had a false sense of how easy this was going to be, but luckily all the preparation had been done by Allan and his team to put me in a position to succeed. There's so many variables that go into such trips and I can comfortably say if I did any other way or with anyone else, I never would have made it to the top of Lobuche East (6119m).
I cannot speak highly enough or recommend more of Everest One and Allan. I have only fond memories from my trip, where the journey was just as good as the destination."
— Victor Vo - Australia
"We can’t thank Allan and his team enough for making our journey to Everest Base Camp truly unforgettable.
​
As first-time trekkers, Allan was incredibly helpful in preparing us for the adventure, from guiding us on training requirements to assisting with gear shopping. His expertise made us feel confident and well-equipped.
​
The itinerary was perfectly paced, giving us the right amount of time to acclimatize and take in the breathtaking views without feeling rushed.
​
The Sherpas were highly knowledgeable, and we learned so much along the way about their culture and the mountains.
​
Allan and his team prioritized our safety throughout the entire journey — which meant everything to us, especially with the whole family on this adventure.
We highly recommend Everest One for anyone looking to take on this incredible adventure and we can’t wait to go on another adventure with them."
— Ashwin and Lalit Prassad - Australia
"We climbed Kilimanjaro with Allan and the Everest One team in July 2025. This 8-day adventure is challenging and not for the faint-hearted, but if you decide to go for it you must do so with a professional team like Everest One.
The logistics and planning needed to make a successful summit climb are very important. Allan and his African team have summited many times and have the expertise and experience to give you the best chance of being successful.
We were very impressed with all aspects of the trip, which went very smoothly because of Allan’s meticulous attention to detail.
We have no hesitation in recommending Allan and EverestOne for your next adventure!"
— Mike and Diana Sumner - New Zealand
“I have had the privilege of trekking to Everest Base Camp on two occasions. plus a climb of Lobuche East with Everest One, and these experiences have been absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, the professionalism of the team, led by the expedition leader Allan Cohrs, has been second to none.
​
Allan’s knowledge, leadership, and calm guidance ensured every client felt safe, supported, and motivated throughout the journey. The Sherpas are equally remarkable – their warmth, encouragement, and interaction with clients create a true sense of camaraderie and trust along the trail.
​
What impressed me most is that client safety is clearly paramount to the entire team. Every decision, from pace setting to altitude management, reflects a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of the group. At the same time, the personal care and attention they provide makes the trek not just safe, but also deeply enjoyable and memorable.
​
I cannot recommend Everest One highly enough for anyone considering the adventure of a lifetime to Everest Base Camp or even an introductory climb. With Allan and his team, you know you are in the best of hands.”
— Dave Ross - Australia
"Following surgery in 2016, I was looking for a goal to help with my recovery and came across Allan at Everest One. They caught my eye as a boutique trekking company who were focused on your personal experience. Nine months later, I found myself at Everest Base Camp looking out at the magnificent Khumbu Icefall.
This was the start of many more adventures with Everest One; where I would see the sun rise from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, complete the end to end trek of the magnificent Larapinta Trail and look out across five of the world's highest mountains from the top of Mera Peak. And now last year I have been back to Everest Base Camp again, this time with my daughter.
​
Why have I kept going back to Everest One? They have this genuine desire for you to achieve your goals. You are supported by some of the best guides and camp staff who Everest One have carefully selected and cultivated long term caring relationships with.
Trekking and interacting with these people became the highlight of my trips. They are the very best in their field and bring exceptional knowledge and experience which they pass on during your trip.
Not to forget Allan himself, he brings the knowledge and experience that comes from climbing the highest mountains in the world. He is personally, exceptionally familiar with all of his trips and can advise you on everything you need from equipment, fitness and training. He’s a great bloke who I now regard as a friend.
​
The experiences Allan offers are incredible and with the commitment he brings along with the Everest One organisation and their experienced staff you can be assured of the very best opportunity for a safe, successful and truly memorable trip."
— Dave Stark - Australia
"I had already climbed Lobuche East and Ama Dablam with Allan from Everest One, but the dream was always bigger: to stand on an 8000m peak.
​
In 2023, that dream became reality when I joined the Everest One team on an expedition to Manaslu (8,163m), the 8th highest mountain in the world.
​
From the very beginning, Allan’s support was exceptional. He guided me through training with practical advice, even joining me on several 25km+ treks with serious elevation gain. He helped source specialist gear, stayed in regular contact, and made sure I was fully prepared before stepping foot in Nepal.
​
On the mountain, that same dedication shone through. Together with his Head Sherpa, Phunuru, Allan meticulously planned every stage of the climb. From reading the weather to choosing the perfect strategy, they set us up for success. At times, this meant pushing through the night to avoid the heat of the day, a tactic that proved invaluable at high altitude.
​
The Sherpa team Allan has built around Everest One are outstanding — highly professional, deeply experienced, and a joy to be with. Their positivity and camaraderie turned the tough days into unforgettable moments and made the entire expedition a true adventure.
​
The summit of Manaslu was the pinnacle of my 20-year climbing journey. At 65 years old, I was honoured to stand on the true summit as part of the first Australian team to achieve it, and proud to become the oldest Australian to do so.
​
The Himalayas are majestic, the people and culture are enchanting, and the experience with Everest One was life changing. If you want to push your limits with complete trust in your guides, there is no better choice than Allan and the Everest One team."
— Mark Ayrey - Australia
"Our Everest Base Camp and Lobuche East expedition with Everest One was truly the experience of a lifetime. We were introduced to Allan and Everest One through family recommendations, and from the outset we knew we were in the best hands. What sets Everest One apart is their Australian base, their unwavering commitment to safety, and their assurance that all regulations are met.
The organisation before even arriving in Kathmandu was outstanding. From airport pickup, to staying at the comfortable hotel, ensuring all our gear was correct, every detail was handled seamlessly. Along the trek to Everest Base Camp, the tea houses were clean and welcoming, and being able to spend two nights at Base Camp itself was a highlight. Standing on the Khumbu Icefall at the start of the Everest ascent was a surreal and unforgettable moment.
Climbing Lobuche East with our lead guide, Phunuru Sherpa was the most incredible experience of our lives. His expertise, motivation, and support were truly game changing and directly led to our successful summit. Both Phunuru and Kanchi took such amazing care of us throughout the trek, making sure meals were prepared quickly, hot water bottles were waiting at night and guiding us safely along every trail.
Allan is an absolute professional - personable, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. He made the entire journey not only safe but also enjoyable, and we always felt supported.
We cannot recommend Everest One highly enough. It is the only company we would ever trust with our lives on such an extraordinary adventure. We will absolutely be booking with Everest One again."
— Lisa and Paul Gay - Australia
"A few year ago my friend Luke and I decided to climb Kilimanjaro. After speaking with Allan at Everest One, I knew straight away this was the right company. He was genuine, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful.
In the lead-up to the climb, Allan met with us, provided training plans, gear advice, and even organised discounts on equipment.
When we arrived in Africa, I felt safe and supported, knowing we were guided by an Australian with extensive mountaineering experience, who truly supported the local communities. His encouragement and expertise gave me confidence every step of the way.
​
After Kilimanjaro, I joined Everest One on an Aconcagua expedition, and it was life-changing. The preparation, training, and guidance from Allan ensured I was ready, and the expedition itself was incredible, filled with breathtaking scenery, camaraderie, and gratitude.
​
Allan is more than a guide. He understands that you have a dream and works tirelessly to help you achieve it. He is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, and he will move mountains to make your experience the best it can be. Thanks to his preparation, belief in me, and his wealth of high-altitude mountaineering experience, I was able to stand on top of South America. That achievement is something I’ll carry forever, and I know a huge part of it was because of him.
​
I cannot recommend Allan and the Everest One team enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and personal touch set them apart from every other company I considered. If you want a trekking experience that’s safe, challenging, and truly rewarding, Everest One is the company to go with."
— Matt Mallardi - Australia
"I have been fortunate to have experienced Everest One treks and climbs on several expeditions, including Everest Base Camp with a climb of Lobuche East, Mera Peak in Nepal and most recently Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa.
Everest One are the most professional, organised company I have ever done a trip with.
Owner and Head Guide, Allan Cohrs, is passionate about people succeeding in their ambitions and dreams. He is capable of getting the best out of everyone – regardless of their abilities.
I highly recommend signing up with Everest One for your next adventure. I have done three trips with Everest One and will definitely be back for more!"
— Steve Burkitt - New Zealand
"Allan and his team provided the most memorable experience climbing Kilimanjaro.
Everything was impeccably organized, down to the finest details, and the whole crew got on tremendously – not only summiting (which was quite a feat), but through all the other moments on the trek, in the camp, and more.
Allan’s curation and care, both for the safety and wellbeing of the entire group, was second to none, and I’d highly recommend trekking (and hopefully summiting) with him and the Everest
One crew again."
— Chris Sumner - United Kingdom
"I had an incredible experience with Everest One, led by Allan Cohrs, during our Manaslu expedition in 2023. Allan seamlessly transitioned from tour leader to comrade, fostering a sense of camaraderie among our group while ensuring our safety and enjoyment throughout the 8163M expedition .
Allan’s expertise and leadership were evident from the outset. His extensive knowledge of the terrain and unwavering commitment to safety instilled confidence in every member of our group.
Everest One’s professionalism was exceptional. From well-planned itineraries to sustainable and ethical tourism practices with sherpas, every detail was meticulously arranged.
One of the highlights was the friendships made between the group. Allan’s ability to balance his role as a leader and a friend created a supportive atmosphere, enhancing our overall experience.
In conclusion, my journey with Everest One on Manaslu was unforgettable. Allan’s leadership, combined with the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas, made for an extraordinary adventure. I highly recommend Everest One to anyone seeking an unparalleled mountaineering experience."​
— Conor Coleman - Australia
"I successfully reached the summit of Mera Peak with Everest One. This was my first climb in Nepal at altitude so it was imperative that I chose a company I could trust and who had a safe track record.
Everest One is a boutique guiding company with a premium service at a fair price. They know what it takes to succeed and unlike many large commercial guiding companies, genuinely want you to achieve your goals. Their success is your success!
The locals who they work with are some of the most respected in the Nepalese climbing community and made me feel confident I was in good hands. I would recommend Everest One to climbers/trekkers of all types of experience but especially first timers, as they will give you that extra attention you need!
​
Since then, I returned on another adventure with Everest One, this time climbing Kilimanjaro, and standing on the roof of Africa."
— Peter Knight - Australia
"I recently met Allan Cohrs at Everest One and spent 12 days with him and his team trekking up Kilimanjaro with an awesome bunch of likeminded people from other countries.
Allan has the ability to motivate and ensure everyone on the trek is having a successful time. Allan is very intuitive and has a great rapport with diverse personalities and ensures all his clients have a positive experience. I felt entirely safe in Allan's hands and his team were all so helpful and supportive, and smiley and happy. We sung songs and swapped stories and each team member made an impact on me and felt lucky to get to know them and their culture over the days we spent with them.
Allan is super professional and made sure we ate well, rested well, and climbed well.
It was a truly rewarding experience in a unique environment. It was an adventure on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. I was so grateful to have been there.
You will leave, wanting to do another adventure with Allan."
— Jeanette Meehan - New Zealand
“Think about this. The spectacle of the Himalayas, the anticipation of a physical challenge and the spice and colour of the Nepalese culture. Final ingredient for the adventure of a lifetime? Everest One! The best in class. Without doubt - the best.
Passionate about life, about making the most of opportunities and about recognising the potential in each and every person, they are terrific. Skilled, professional and finely attuned to whatever goals a person might bring to the mountains.
Having been a member of a number of expeditions including climbs of Lhotse (8516m), Lobuche East, Mera Peak along with treks into Everest Base Camp, Everest One delivers "Adventure all the Way”!
​
Do yourself a favour."
— Professor Jeff Dunn - Australia
"I was referred to Everest One through friends who had completed successful expeditions previously. My first adventure was to Nepal to trek to Everest Base Camp in 2023, and I have followed that up with a fabulous climb of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 2025
I am not a natural in the mountains, and these trips have pushed me far outside my comfort zone, but never beyond my limits - the Everest One team guide, encourage and support me to reach my goals in a way that I feel safe and strong. The behind the scenes decision making and logistics are well taken care of, and let me focus on just what needs to be achieved each day.
Anyone I talk to who may have expeditions on their own bucket list, or be looking for a challenge, or just an interesting way to see new parts of the world gets a wholehearted recommendation to Everest One - I cannot praise the team enough, and am actively planning my next adventure to the Mera Peak expedition in 2026.
— Ardele Hammond - New Zealand
"From my first email enquiry the communication and support I received from Allan was outstanding. We met up in person which was really reassuring, every question I had was answered. Allan made sure I was fully prepared for an experience which in hindsight was way out of my comfort zone.
During the trek, I felt everything was incredibly well organised. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. One of the highlights was spending two nights at Everest Base Camp, truly unforgettable.
I’m so happy I chose Everest One as unlike other companies they didn’t feel like a big, commercial operation, I felt looked after every step of the way.
I would absolutely recommend Everest One to anyone considering the EBC trek.
Thank you for what was truly the most amazing once in a lifetime experience."
— Michelle Collings - Australia
"Honestly, if you’re thinking about doing an expedition, I can’t recommend Everest One highly enough.
Tackling Kilimanjaro, standing on top of Aconcagua, trekking through Everest Base Camp, and reaching Lobuche—these journeys were intense, but looking back, they’re some of the highlights of my life.
What stands out most for me is how supportive and encouraging Allan and his crew are—they’re with you every step, making sure you feel prepared, confident and safe.
During the tough climbs, when the fatigue and doubt crept in and I wondered if I could keep going, Allan was right there—steady, patient, and respectful. He understood when to push and when to let us catch our breath.
The group dynamic he created brought everyone together, and even in challenging conditions, he kept the mood positive.
If you want a team that’s experienced, caring, and just genuinely great to be with Everest One has set the gold standard."
— Sheree Harrison - Australia
"We have just completed an incredible trek to Everest Base Camp and cannot praise Allan, Phunuru and the Everest One team enough.
I read through all the testimonials on the Everest One web site and there were some common themes, and our experience was no different. Incredible team, a focus on care and safety, well planned logistics and Allan’s leadership, motivation, and friendship.
We felt like family, well looked after from start to end.
You know how good your team is when things don’t go to plan. The morning we were meant to fly to Lukla the airports were closed due to bush fire smoke. While most other tour operators ended up grounded for several days, Phunuru’s local knowledge got us to the mountains.
The highlights of our trip were two nights camping at base camp - a walk through the Khumbu Icefall, being surrounded by towering walls of ice, hearing the glacier crack under you and seeing the head torches as they weave up through the Khumbu Icefall at night on the way to camp 1. Things that you don’t get to experience with most other tour operators.
We are looking forward to our next adventure with Everest One."
Professor Bradley Eyre and Michelle Eyre

"After years of dreaming I wanted to book a trek to Everest Base Camp. I chose Everest One after a chat with Allan.
From start to finish, they were a fantastic company to go with. This trip was one of the highlights of my life so far.
There was plenty of information provided prior, I felt well prepared when I landed in Kathmandu and was met by wonderful smiling Phunuru Sherpa, who instantly put me at ease.
The trek was amazing, every day made me smile. Tea houses were all wonderful and the team was so organised, everything was so smooth. The local knowledge was priceless. The Everest One team could not do enough for you regarding food, drinks & genuine care. We were so well fed!!!
Staying at Base Camp was a stunning and a fabulous experience. I couldn't imagine the trip without that experience.
I would choose Everest One again, no hesitation!
​
I travelled on my own, but I never felt alone."
— Xoe Attridge - Australia
"I had the pleasure of completing the combined Everest Base Camp/Lobuche East Expedition with Everest One.
I chose Everest One as they are a very trustworthy and safe provider of various treks and expeditions.
I'm really glad I chose Everest One as my Nepal trip was life changing and I especially enjoyed the 2 night stay at Everest Base Camp and the trip into the Khumbu Icefall, which were both experiences of a lifetime.
Allan and his team are really caring and fun and really take the time and effort to ensure that their trekkers remain safe but also importantly have a great time on their treks and expeditions. I am also impressed with how reasonable Everest One pricing is for their amazing treks and expeditions.
As I was so impressed with Everest One I completed another trek, in Tasmania, with Allan and the Everest One crew and when I'm ready to trek again I'll be sure to book my next trek/exhibition with Everest One.
I highly recommend Everest One if you are looking for a trekking/expedition provider that is trustworthy, reliable and fun. I eagerly look forward to my next trek/Expedition with Allan and the Everest One crew!"
— Paul Whewell - Australia
"Climbing Kilimanjaro was one of the proudest moments of my life. I had just turned 50 during the previous year, so to achieve a physical challenge like this was an amazing boost for my self confidence.
​
As a public speaker, self confidence is your life blood. Confidence helps you to present your topic and build rapport with an audience.
Unfortunately, I had been hit by many personal challenges in a 5 year period, and in the process, there was a season where my confidence had reached rock bottom. I questioned my value as an individual and wondered what the future would look like.
I’m happy to say now that I’ve never felt more empowered. I had the privilege of speaking at about 15 events directly after our climb and I have never enjoyed myself more.
Thanks Everest One for leading me on a successful climb and giving me an adventure I will always remember."
— Peter Sewell - Germany
"Wow, what a fantastic experience! Everest One are fantastic, professional climbers and guides with a huge list of successful mountaineering accomplishments along with their talented and experienced team of Sherpas, Porters and Cooks. Therefore having the chance to be apart of the Mera Peak expedition was a great privilege and adventure.
Mera peak is a trek/climb that was not only physically challenging but a real eye-opener to how vast and spectacular the Himalayan region is.
What made this adventure so wonderful is the experience, expertise and organization of the Everest One Team. Everest One creates a well-planned and executed expedition suited to those with all levels of experience and sense of adventure. With you, 100% of the way and will whatever is within their means to get you up and down the mountain safely.
Safety is a number one priority with Everest One but what follows is no shortage of good laughs and fun along the way."
— Daniel Munnink - Germany
"What can I say….I absolutely love hiking with Allan, he is so inspirational! Definitely a quality you need when hiking long distances. Having Allan lead me on a couple of hikes now, including Everest Base Camp and the Larapinta Trail, I have always felt safe and well looked after, he’s there to help you achieve your goals, and love the journey getting there! What I enjoy most about hiking with Everest One is the attention to detail, the planning and effort that Allan puts in, but still being flexible and making sure you get what you want out of a hike. I love to take photos….. of everything, our days were always well planned to be flexible enough to do that, enjoy things along the way, and reach our destination on time.
I find that safety is always of the utmost importance when Allan leads a group. Hiking up and down remote mountain sides can be exhilarating, but exhausting, Allan leads you at just the right pace to make sure you not only reach your target safely, but not overdo it either. His leadership in trekking and obviously climbing also means you can push yourself for the challenge, but also take your time to slow down and enjoy the scenery.
​
And it wasn’t just Allan’s skills that made it so amazing, his flair for leading a hike meant I not only had times to myself for reflection, but also friendly banter, and sometimes laughed so much I cried! I don’t know if I’ve ever had such a brilliant time hiking….we won’t mention the ‘hiking karaoke’! Thanks Allan for giving me some of the best treks I’ve ever done!"​
— Sherri Tanner-McAllister - Australia
"After deciding many months before departing on our trip of a lifetime I had to convince my husband to join me and ignore the " mocking" of my teenage children saying I would not make it!!!
Well the training completed, bags packed and with great trepidation and excitement we set off. What an unbelievable 3 weeks followed.
The organisation for the trek was outstanding. The days trekking were both rewarding and challenging and on a tough day, someone from the group would be there to spur you on. The stunning scenery was forever changing and to be surrounded by the snow-capped Himalayan mountains often bought tears to my eyes. The Nepalese people are also the most wonderful caring gentle people.
Also, we had our 2 amazing nights sleeping in Everest Base camp. Everything was so organised- our bags always were waiting at tea houses, there was plenty of food and constant comforting cups of hot lemon, honey and ginger tea!!!!
My husband Tim was so glad he decided to come and my teenage children are now both very proud of us!! I would say if you are looking for a challenging adventurous holiday to enjoy an amazing country don't hesitate and follow your dreams."

"Awesome, unbelievable, life-changing ... These are the words that come to mind after having just returned from our 3rd trek in Nepal with our inspirational guides and their incredible team of Nepalese Sherpas and support staff. Standing on the top of a magnificent Himalayan mountain peak is something I will never forget but the true magic was in the genuine and unbridled excitement and joy expressed by Allan and the team on our successful summit. We felt part of something very special and unique.
On each trip, we have been privileged to experience the fragile beauty of the Mountains, the strong and honourable Sherpas, cooks and porters, the extraordinarily happy and humble Nepalese people. Every team member is nurtured and cared for, encouraged and respected. No question is left unanswered and every minute detail is considered and organised. The food is amazing considering the harsh conditions in which it needs to be prepared. It's often the little things that make all the difference on these adventures and Everest One tick every box! Each day is challenging yet so rewarding and then there is the gut-busting laughter every night!
We took the first step with an email ... Now 3 years and 3 treks later, we have ongoing friendships and regular chats with our Sherpas, unbelievable photos, memories and experiences, a significantly improved level of fitness and an appreciation and respect for the Nepalese and their way of life. Our lives have been enriched immeasurably.
Life is short - don't waste time waiting for opportunities. Take the first step and you will embark on the adventure of a lifetime."

"I climbed Mera Peak with Everest One, led by Allan Cohrs.
Lots of companies run Mera Peak climbs. What made me choose Everest One was its well-designed trip plan, value for money, strong mountaineering experience and Everest One’s long-standing relationship in Nepal.
Everest One’s trip plan for Mera Peak provides for gradual and achievable acclimatisation, which maximizes the chance of success for every participant. Along the way, Allan kept us well briefed and gave us confidence in our ability to summit. It was easy to trust his judgement and expertise. And it was a heap of fun!
Our Sherpa guides, kitchen crew and porters were first rate and well looked after. Our logistics, food and tents were excellent and unexpected extras such as hot towels in the morning and before dinner and fresh brewed espresso’s were very much appreciated.
As our expedition leader, Allan was very professional but with an easy-going, friendly and down to earth manner that helped to form us into a strong and united team.
I would certainly recommend Everest One."

"We signed up for the Everest Base Camp trek hardly knowing what to expect. We just knew it was an opportunity not to be missed – and we were right.
We'll never forget our last night in Lukla, surrounded by the luminescent glow of the full moon reflecting off the snow-capped mountains. No photo could do it justice. It was a spectacular finale to our trek.
​
While it was extremely hard going at times, we got through it, literally step by step, with the encouragement of our guides and their fantastic group of Sherpas and porters. They made sure each of us got what we wanted out of it. They also made sure it was fun. There was so much laughter!
Arriving at Base Camp was the ultimate accomplishment and staying there for two nights was the icing on the cake. Not all EBC groups get to actually stay there, but Everest One makes it happen. The experience of looking across to the Khumbu ice fall by day, hearing the ice crack under our tent at night, just can't be topped.
We’re so proud of our achievement and we’re so pleased to have done it with such a great group and such amazing guides and friends.
We're very excited to be joining them on another trek soon - Mt Kilimanjaro!"​

"Our trek to Everest Base Camp with Everest One was everything we could have hoped for and more! It was the most amazing experience of our lives and had so many unforgettable and unique moments. The personal approach with their treks meant that we had expert advice from the moment we enquired about the trek. We had never trekked before and Deanne was recovering from a Breast Cancer battle, but with their guidance, we were well prepared for the challenge.
Their personal approach extended across all aspects of the trek from the moment we were met at the airport, to the family type atmosphere of our hotel and tea house stays. Everything was taken care of and we could just concentrate on trekking through the most breathtaking mountain trails on our way to Base Camp. Our safety and enjoyment were their number one priority. Their strength and positivity inspired us to achieve our goal and raise money to help fight this destructive disease through the Cancer Council Queensland.
We made it all the way and will never forget our stay in a tent on the ice at Base Camp. We made friends for life and experienced something so special through the fantastic team that is Everest One. We just want to do it all again!"

"I’d been to Nepal before, and done a few hikes, self guided. I was keen to do Everest Base Camp, and was looking for some adventure and excitement, but didn’t want to go alone.
Joining the Everest One team to do this hike was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. The level of knowledge, support, care and consideration for YOUR adventure was tremendous. Our small but diverse group allowed time and space for you to truly experience the mountains and all that they hold.
The two nights I was able to spend experiencing life within the presence of climbers who dare venture to the peak was truly incredible. Being able to explore further and absorb all that Base camp has to offer is a once in a lifetime opportunity. When you hear the mountains calling you, there is no better trip to do than to experience all that Everest One have to offer."

"The experience I had as part of the trek to Everest base camp is one that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
Their organisation was exceptional and their attitude toward the party members was genuine and caring. Allan’s knowledge of the local culture and the respect they have for the porters and Sherpas they employ is also something that needs to be acknowledged as this should also be a consideration when someone is considering to trek in either Nepal or Tanzania.
At no time on the trek did I feel anything but wonder and awe at my surroundings and that was because of the way I felt within the group."
