We did a long Trek in that region and did the whole things our selves for buttons
But if you can afford to go with a company I would recommend because its easier to muck up your schedule on your own
we met some one a 14 day holiday who lost 4 days in Kathmandu waiting for the treking permit office to open
But with expert advice form Karnali you may be fine
I loved it all but didn’t actually go to Base Camp. We went up the Gokyo valley and Chukung Ri and Camped at up the head of the valley on our own. Camped under Ama Dablam and up the another Valley
One of the best things I have ever done. Thoroughly recommended. The longer you can go for the better as acclimatization takes time
