Annapurna Base Camp Trek - 11 Days

Our experience in Nepal was very gratifying. Your company contributed enormously to it. This is more or less, our experience. I hope to meet you next time we go to Nepal.

A must for anyone looking to summit a peak and wanting to take the time to experience jungles, bamboo forests, the rocky valley floors, before moving up to the Mera glacier. Highly recommend. Thank you Nepal climbing team!

It’s an amazing part of the world and you won’t regret it, especially if Chris organises it. He was there 24/7 to help us and change flights out of lukla. His guides were the best we saw. Chris is a man of of word. After getting a refund for the unused part of the trip, as agreed prior, I have 100% faith in his honesty. We will be back for another amazing tour organised by Chris.

Very happy to have Chris organise our trek. He was on call 24/7 to take care of everything. Highly recommended.

I have been working with Chris and his team on behalf of my clients for the past one year. In a nutshell, I couldn't have picked a better partner. His ability to manage situations (as things are extremely fluid during adventures), remain calm, problem solves and handle updates is beyond exemplary. Thank you for everything that you do.

“Mr. Krishna was all what you can ask for, from the very begining, from A to Z. He just understood what we needed, very responsive, very supportive, very transparent and most importantly his follow up was great. We were lucky we picked the right people when we picked Nepal Climbing Adventure”

“The guide are so nice, always worried with everything and explain all the things. The Porter who followed me all the trek assure always my safe and everything I needed. Excelent. The company Nepal climbing adventure was always very professional. Thank you all.”

“Everything was organised really well, would recommend to anyone.”

“It was great expirence. Everything was up to the mark. Excellent management by Nepal Climbing Adventure and their team.”

“Very professional company, things are fine efficiently. I would request to have more communication to clients on possible confirmation email on pick up times at the airport. Until I got off the plane I had no idea if someone was going to be there to pick me up or where I was going to stay the first night.

Please also consider including the Ice Lake hike in Manang on the itinerary as I did not know about it until after and would have loved to do it. The itinerary already includes an extra night in Manang to acclimatize so having that option for clients may be nice.”

I highly recommend this company , the services where perfect , the staff , the hotel , the guide for the trek , the food , everything was more than expected, thank you!!!!! Namaste!!!

The trek was organised by Nepal Climbing Adventure. Mr. Krishna Subedi (Chris) was very helpful and professional in providing services and was extremely helpful. Our guide Mr. Mingma Sherpa was excellent guide during 12 days trip. Our porter Mr Umesh Rai was outstanding . We owe our success in summitting to above mentioned people. The trek was strenuous but enjoyable. The selection of Tea houses by Nepal Climbing Adventure were excellent and they provided all basic amenities under very challenging weather conditions . I highly recommend Nepal Climbing Adventure. Keep continuing the good work. 

I fully enjoyed my tour with Chris' company. Everyone was very friendly and super flexible when I had wishes that were not on my "standard" booking. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience an exceptional once in a lifetime adventure!

I just returned from the EBC trek. It is still sinking in. I want to express how impressed I am by the Nepal Climbing Adventure group. They made sure we had excellent accommodations and hassle free transportation. They were very punctual and responsive. The porters and guides were awesome too.

MERA PEAK trek was organised by Nepal Climbing Adventure . Mr. Krishna Subedi (MD ) was extremely helpful. Our guide Mr. Mingma Sherpa was excellent guide. The trek was strenuous but enjoyable. The selection of Tea houses by Nepal Climbing Adventure were excellent . I highly recommend Nepal Climbing Adventure.

I went on a trekking to Annapurna Base Camp. Our guiding team was amazing and alowed us to complete our objective. The patience of one of our guides Ramsh turned this into an amazing experience. A big thank you to the whole team for an amazing job. You are very kind and professional.

I did the Mera Peak trekking over 15 days, organized by Nepal Climbing Adventure. Mr. Krishna Subedi (Kris) is the manager of the organization. He is a very good co-ordinator, puts you immediately on whatsapp when you arrive, and keeps following up your trekking and summit experience. When there were small problems, he immediately took action and contacted the right people. My guide Mr. Neyma Sherpa was also very helpfull and an excellent guide. The trek itself was very enjoyable. The Tea houses were very good and they were very flexible when i prefered another teahouse than the one they already booked. I really recommend Nepal Climbing Adventure! A few extra things to keep in mind: - The month May used to be the best month for Mera Peak but we had a lot of rain... May-be April or October is becoming better now... - Listen to your guide at all times and don't go up to fast. The trekking is also about acclimatizing. Sometimes you need that extra day at 4000m... - Take a portable solar panel with you and a power bank. (min 12W, 20W is better). It will pay itself back. You pay a lot in the teahouses to get your phone charged (a lot of them also use solar power). - I personally prefer not to rent climbing gear but to take my own. I always hike and climb with the same pair of C boots with semi-automatic crampons. My C boots are big enough to wear 2 pair of socks if necessary. My smartwhool socks were warm enough on the summit day (-10 to -15 °C) - Take a porter. They are not expensive and your hiking comfort will increase a lot. - Don't forget to use sunscreen, especially on the summit day when you leave at 2 am in the dark and you're not thinking about the sun at that time. - Make sure you are in excellent physical shape. After the summit, you will need 3 more days to get to Lukla.

On this trek the staff took care of all the logistics in a very professional manner, making all the efforts possible to tackle all the issues arised as smooth as possible. In conclusion, this trekking revealed an amazing and hassle-free experience. Totally recommend the team.

Great company and Chris was always ready to answer. Just ask and you get a reply very soon. Everything was good organized and I could change everything as I wanted so I got a Mera & Island Peak tour including Everest Basecamp. I got a really good and experienced guide and porter for my private trip. I booked through bookmundi which made payment very easy. I met Chris in Kathmandu before and after the trip and he is very kind - you are always welcome in the office. I had a duffelbag and a sleepingbag included and it was good quality. So thank you for organizing a great trip.

I had a amazing trip with Nepal Climbing adventure to Island Peak climbing. Kris is very flexible with the itinerary and very friendly. And our guide Mingma, is very professional and friendly. I’m looking forward for the next trip on the next time! Kudos for Nepal Climbing Adventure!

Everything was organised really well, would recommend to anyone. They gave the itinerary that meets our expectation, eventhough some plans were accidentally canceled due to my partner's health condition, but they still checking on up us, they help us for the hotel for the rest of our stays until the flight back to our country. The guide also still checking up on us. Thanks Kris and Mingma.

Booked the trip just 3 weeks prior to flying and Krishna was very accommodating and provided quick responses to my queries. Everything during the trip was pretty smooth, drivers were polite and arrived on time. My guides and porter was really helpful during the trek, itinerary were pretty flexible too since I was going solo. Acclimatisation days during the ascend was really helpful, didn’t experience much altitude sickness although trekking did get more challenging as the altitude increased. Travelled during off peak season, July is their monsoon period so there aren’t many tourist around. Did get some good views along the way, weather is clear most of the time in the morning & the clouds set in during the afternoons & rains most of the times in the evening. As it was off peak season, many places were closed as well. However, I enjoyed the peace & tranquility during the trek without many people around and thought it was a good trade off for the weather. Signed up for Island Peak and was an unsuccessful attempt due to the weather & safety reasons. And won’t recommend others for a technical ascend during the off peak season. Had to add extra days during the trip incase of bad weather. Fortunately for me, the weather did not affect me & Krishna helped me to manage the remaining days left in Kathmandu to tour around the area and my accommodations. My trip to Nepal was a pleasant one so am really thankful for the experience!

Did Mera Peak, Amphu Lapcha La pass, and Island Peak with Nepal Climbing Adventure and it was great! Very good communication leading up to the start of the trip. Both Chris and Khum (owners) made sure that everything was arranged for a successful and memorable trip. They showed flexibility, helped in creating the best itinerary and really delivered on this awesome experience. Best part about it is that they are 24/7 available for questions or other things to discuss. I was also very pleased with their guide selection for the trip. Would highly recommend anyone who wants to go trekking or climbing in Nepal to do it with Nepal Climbing Adventure.

Ramesh joined our Nomad trip as the local guide. He was amazing - very professional, always careful and attentive, ensuring everyone was happy and taken care of, sorting out each and every issue. He played a huge role in making this trip a great success. Many thanks Ramesh!

It's been my 5th trek in Nepal with Nepal Climbing Adventures and I cannot say enough how Khum, Krisna and their teams have been very professional all the way through, from the conception of each trek to small details that make a big difference along the journey. My last trek in Mera peak and Everest region was extraordinary and my guide and porter did everything to make this strenuous trek as pleasant and memorable as possible. I highly recommend booking your Nepal next trip with Kris and Khum !

When I booked my trip with Nepal Climbing Adventure Pvt. Ltd. I did not make a lot of research about the trail and how they operate, because I wanted to be amazed by the experience and be surprised by the views and the mountains!!! Without knowing a lot about the places we would visit, my biggest concern was safety. However, it ends up I found on this team some true FRIENDS (lots of fun on the days together) and the MOST prepared and qualified PEOPLE to make me feel safe and enjoy the trip to the full!!! A special thanks to RAMESH and NIMA that are now part of my future!!!

Spectacular trek with the best guides, amazing views but above all the guides as Ramesh become also good friends during the trek.

I did the EBC & Kala Pathar trek with Nepal Climbing team in Oct-23, I wanted to write in a review about my experience with Nepal Climbing. I had been planning to go to EBC for a few years now & finally it all came together in 2023, i was going through a lot of blogs, websites and youtube videos before deciding on the operator for this trip. Thats when Nepal Climbing was refered by a friend who did the EBC trek in the past. Right from the first communication with Krishna Subedi, the team was very professional, patient in answering myriad of questions i had about the trip. Krishna gave a call and walked me through the itinerary, cost and the preparation that i need to do to be able to experience a nice trek. Even though i had spoken with Krishna a few times, i was still skeptical prior to the trip worried about arrangements & the over all planning around the trip. But as soon as i landed in Kathmandu - i was escorted from the Airport and was absolutely taken care of through out the entire duration of the trip. The hotel arrangements in Thamel was very good, the crew also guided & helped me around the Thamel markets to get some of the hiking gears. Krishna introduced me to the Guide, who spoke good English and Hindi. And then the trip started, the arrangements were perfect, we were fortunate on the weather part, no delays in getting to Lukla and then onwards we were able to follow the itinerary - all the villages and tea houses we stayed. The hotel & arrangements were top class. Clean and hygenic tea houses were provided. The guide Neema Sherpa was very knowledgeable, courteous and very friendly. He answered all the questions i had, spent a lot of time clicking pictures and videos and he was a very good friend through out the journey. And after the return to Kathmandu, again the stay provided by Nepal climbing team was really good and a hospitable place with nice food. My entire experience due to these professional arrangements was very smooth. Over all i had a fantastic trekking experience through the help of the Guide Neema and Nepal Climbing team led by Krishna, i would highly recommend any one to engage Krishna and team for a terrific trekking experience.

We have great experience with my girlfriend to the EBC and Kalapatthar treck with Nepal Climing adventure company. Chris is so responsible and kind person and he respond at all my questions alaways immediately and also he was so kind to reschedule our trek because at first booking we need to cancel it because we become sick from covid and we reschedule for next season. His brother Khum pick up use from the airport and bring us to the hotel and as well he bring us to the airport when we finish our holiday. Our guide Sumba and portar Pasang make our Treking great and unforgettable experience. They was so professional and kaind and organised persons and we didn't have no problem at all during the Trek. They alaways trying we to feel comfortable and good. We definitely will come back. ???

Excellent Sherpas/guides. Strong porters. On going support.

V good Sherpas and Cook Responded to critical situation well to make the final ascend a success.

We had an incredible 16-day Mera Peak trek experience, all thanks to Kris from the trekking company. Kris went above and beyond, handling boarding passes, coordinating domestic travel, and offering valuable advice. Pasang, our guide, was outstanding, ensuring we had the right equipment and creating a truly memorable journey. Kris's honesty, responsiveness, and accommodation made our visit to Nepal unforgettable, and we're grateful for the countless beautiful memories he helped us create. Highly recommend their services!

We had a wonderful trek to the Everest Base Camp and 3 passes. Kris organized everything professionally and perfectly, all accommodation and domestic flights were booked and included into the trip price. Our guide - Lakpa gave us a breathtaking tour in the Everest region, providing us with interesting information during the trek and serving professional help and advice. I really recommend traveling with Nepal Climbing Adventure.

I highly recommend Nepal Climbing Adventure! We took 18 days trek to Everest Base Camp and 3 High Passes in November and the experience was just amazing. We had everything professionally organized by Chris: transportation (including flight to Lukla), food and lodging, permits, you name it... The contact with the company was always quick and easy, Chris was super helpful and everything went smoothly. We were even provided with really good and warm sleeping bags and jackets! Our guide Lakpa was really experienced and knowledgeable, he showed us some of the most incredible places we've ever seen, helped us through all the though parts of the trail and was always there to answer questions and offer advice. We felt really well taken care for every step of the way. We're already planning our next trek in Nepal and we'll most definitely come back to Nepal Climbing Adventure!

From the very beginning of our planning stages to the summit of Island Peak, my experience with Nepal Climbing Adventure was nothing short of spectacular. The pre-trip communication was a breeze - their team was incredibly responsive and informative, ensuring all my questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. Once the adventure began, the organization and logistics were impeccable. The travel arrangements, accommodations, and meals not only met but exceeded my expectations. Everything was well-planned, allowing me to focus entirely on the experience without any logistical worries. The heart of this journey was undeniably the guides and support staff. Their knowledge of the terrain and local insights enriched the trek immensely. More than that, their kindness, helpfulness, and genuine friendliness made a significant impact. It was clear they were not just professionals but also passionate about what they do, and that passion was contagious. The highlight of the trip was, of course, the climb itself. Trekking to Everest Base Camp (EBC) and scaling Island Peak was an exhilarating and awe-inspiring experience. The beauty of the Himalayas is unparalleled, and the sense of accomplishment upon reaching the peak was indescribable. It was challenging, no doubt, but with the expert guidance and encouragement of our guides, it was an achievable and thrilling adventure. Overall, my satisfaction with Nepal Climbing Adventure is through the roof. I would not only recommend them but urge anyone considering a climbing expedition in Nepal to go with this exceptional team. Their professionalism, combined with a warm, personal touch, made this journey unforgettable. If you're seeking an adventure that's well-organized, safe, and filled with moments of awe and wonder, look no further than Nepal Climbing Adventure.

I’d like to share my great trekking experience. It was my first time visiting Nepal. I had limited time so I wanted to do a 7-9 day trek . I choose Mardi Himal trek . I texted to many companies from Facebook and I choose Nepal Climbing Adventure because they looked so professional, always replied quick, they knew what a good customer care is . They met me in the airport, booked a hotel. I met the guide and porter next day. I’ve had the best tour guide. I can recommend him 100%. Tour guide Ramesh, thank you so much ! The trek itself was so beautiful ! (It was in February) It was too early for rhododendron flowers but the view was spectacular. Forests, jungle, jungle covered with snow, mountains, snow mountains. If you have limited time I’d recommend this one week trek. It’s short but super beautiful. I will definitely come back and book a tour with the same company.

Me and my daughter traveled to Nepal and chose Mardi Himal trek. I’m an active 60 years lady. This trek was hard sometimes but we had enough time to go slowly and enjoy the view, take photos , have tea and coffee with Mountain View. Mardi Himal trek is new but amazing. After Mardi we did Poon Hill trek because we had time and wanted to continue the adventure. It was a great trek to see local villages, rivers, forests. We also had the best tour guide Ramesh. Thank you , my friend for being such a professional and caring tour guide.

We went on a 8 day trek to Jomsom/Muktinath. This trek has lost its popularity over the years because of the jeep road, making it easy to cover the distance by car. But that made the experience less touristic and more authentic for us. With on average 6 hours of hiking every day, the views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri (2 of the 10th highest mountains in the world) were stunning. The nature was blooming: Nepal's national flower Rhododendron was flowering in a beautiful dark red color, and we ate delicious, freshly picked Nepali oranges on the way. The culture was most interesting: some of the architecture of the old villages we passed through made you feel like you were going back in time. Most of the people still work by hand. We saw women next to the road smashing large rocks into smaller ones using a hammer! Special thanks to our guide Dev, who is very knowledgeable and caring, and porter/hero Nema, who saved my girlfriends hat which fell into a canyon after a strong wind caught it. We enjoyed every minute with them!

We did the Annapurna Circuit trek from Chyamje to Muktinath (11 walking days) with guide Ramesh in March 2024. What a fantastic experience ! The mountain views were incredible : the scenery is unique. The progressive acclimatization made possible for all of us to reach Thorong La pass without problem. The accommodations, food and sleep, were very good (even too good for hikers like us used to alpine refuges ^^). The trail is very enjoyable. The preparation/organisation of the trek with Krishna before arriving was very good. Our guide Ramesh was excellent : professionnal, adaptative, attentionnate, kind and helpful. We feel very grateful for all the care received by Ramesh. We will remember this experience for all our life.

Nice and caring guide. They will make you reach your objectives. Anapurna circuit was nice and we also had very good waether. Guide ramesch is very adaptive. He adapts your treck to your physical conditions and needs. The hotels and the food where good too, but some days I wasn't that hungry because of altitude :-)!

My wife and I highly recommend this experience. We have nothing but amazing things to say about the trek we did, our guide Raju Kandel, and the company Nepal Climbing Adventure and its owner and manager Khum Subedi. I will review all three here: I will start by describing our trek. We booked a 22 day trek of the Manaslu circuit followed by the Annapurna circuit, including Poon Hill and ending in Pokhara, from March 15 to April 5. We took a local bus from Kathmandu to Machhakhola to start the Manaslu circuit. It took us 11 days to complete this circuit to Dharapani, which is where we started the Annapurna circuit. We did not trek the Tsum Valley due to time constraints. The main Manaslu cuicuit was spectacular. Only one day comprised of Jeep road trekking for portions of the day. Many epic suspension bridges, many colourful villages along the way. We were impressed by the mission statement of the Manaslu conservation Area Project in reducing environmental impact of trekking and supporting the local people. We met locals along the way, and where even invited into a local home for traditional Tibetan tea and Sisnu (nettle) soup that we collected on the trail. We got to partake in a local celebration including dancing and community Momo feast. We visiting the tranquil monastery in Lho, and passed by other monasteries with traditional music and ritual. The accomodations were satisfactory, we typically were able to pay for a hot shower expect at the highest elevation villages in the 2 night prior to Larke pass. The food was way beyond my expectations. We ate Dal Bhat every day, sometimes twice a day, and did not tire of this dish. Each restaurant had their own variation on the dish and the fresh vegetables were delicious. The day of the pass was difficult but the views are spectacular. Birendra lake was spectacular and worth a visit. The Annapurna section boasted more panoramic mountain views, different type of forest scenery and slightly more polished accommodations. It had more trekkers than Manaslu and more of the trek included the Jeep Road, however at most we would see 5-10 cars per day on the road. Thorong La pass was also a memorable experience. We took a bus from Muktinath to Tatopani and I do not think we missed much skipping this portion of the trek (dry arid and dusty area). From Tatopani ato Ghorepani was spectacular jungle and rhododendron Forrest trekking. Overall it was the most varied, beautiful, culturally immersive, and delicious trek I have done. Our guide Raju Kandel was fantastic and went beyond what I expected from a guide. He was a joy to trek with and very professional. He took our safety as top concern, regarding altitude symptom monitoring, and how to navigate around the animals that share the path for examples. We later learned he has experience in mountain search and rescue. He has done the Manaslu circuit for many years, and has a relationship with the locals in the guest houses and restaurants along the way. He was able to call ahead to reserve rooms at the best accommodations, pick the most delicious Dal Bhat restaurants, plan the days in order to see key sights along the way, network with locals we met along the path to translate our questions and even get an offer for a visit into a home for food and tea. He taught us Nepali trekking songs and key phrases. He learned what our interests and preferences where along the trek and was able to tailor the experience for us. He got us into the kitchen at most smaller Tea Houses on Manaslu circuit to witness the cooking our our meals. Without Raju as our guide, our experience would not have been as personal or immersive. Nepal Climbing Adventure was a a fantastic agency to book our trek with. Khum Subedi, the past president of the Trekking Agencies Association or Nepal, was friendly, professional and went the extra mile. He personally picked us up at our hotel on the first day of the trek. He helped us navigate an issue we had with another trekking agency (and luckily we ended up not booking with the other agency), again going the extra mile. He ensures a debrief meeting with his trekkers, demonstrating his commitment to providing the best experience for the trekkers that book through his organization. Overall very pleased with the entire experience. It was the adventure of a lifetime.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment pendant 11 jours sur le circuit du tour des Annapurnas. Notre guide Ramesh était professionnel, très attentionné, et flexible. Il a su être à l’écoute et adapter selon les envies et besoins de chacun. Tout était fait en sorte de pouvoir terminer le tour, grâce a une acclimatation bien réfléchie. Le prix était très abordable pour une excellente qualité de tous les services. Je recommande cette agence les yeux fermés!

My husband and I had an incredible time on our trek with Nepal Climbing Adventure, and have nothing but good things to say about the experience. They helped us arrange our dream trek on short notice, and we were able to combine the Manaslu and Annapurna circuits into one 22 day trek. Our guide, Raju Kandel, was exceptional, and his experience with guiding, and relationship with many guesthouse owners along the way truly enhanced our experience. The itinerary was well planned for acclimatizing safely and seeing beautiful sights, and feeling good for the passes. We had flexibility based on our goals and preferences. The accommodation and food exceeded our expectations along the way. I would highly recommend Nepal Climbing Adventure.

Excelent team, organization, very available to help with everithing they were extraordinary and extremely important for the success off the trek. Always very attentive to everyone. Extraordinary. Thank you all.

Amazing trek, Sumba my guide was awesome, made sure everything was possible for me. The agency answers fast to your requests, which was very usefull. Though, be careful on which site you reserve, might have unsuspected fees (private transport to Manthali, lunch & dinners, etc.)

We had a great time working with this trekking company. From the start they were open about the challenges that we may face and suggestions to handle them. Also, they were very accommodating for any changes we had during trek. Special kudos to our Sherpa and porters, they were there very step of way. Seriously we couldn’t have done without their support. They did much more than providing guidance and carry our bags! I would highly recommend them anyone who is looking to trek EBC or any trek in Nepal.

I had wonderful experience during my EBC hiking trip that I did in Apr, 2024 through this company. Their guide and porters lead us complete this trip comfortably and successfully. I wholeheartedly recommend Nepal climbing adventure company to anyone looking for organized, enjoyable and memorable hiking experience. I look forward to joining another hiking trip with them in the future for sure.

Dream to go to Everest Base Camp, turn into reality through Nepal Climbing Adventure. EBC Tracking was getting tougher as it gets in later half of ascend, well our guide ‘Rameshji’ and porter ‘Sumanji’ were there to assist us in all possible ways. Both treat us as “Maharaja” throughout our journey and because of them I made to EBC and for that I am very grateful to them. Nepalese hospitality is beyond imagination, never seen anywhere such a selfless service. The trip was well organized by Krishna and Kumbh, who were very transparent, well communicated and very professional about everything from airport pick up to accommodation and throughout the journey. Thank You everyone who supported me for making EBC Tracking the trip of my life.

Excellent trip. Guide was strong and very helpful. Company was especially accommodating with advice on equipment and routes prior to trek and after the trek helpful in providing alternative travel arrangement due to bad weather ensuring that I still made my international flight back to Europe. Would recommend and use again!

I'm so grateful for the wonderful experience I had on this trip. It was a hard-earned vacation, and meeting DEV as our guide on the Annapurna Circuit made the time truly worthwhile. DEV is an exceptionally knowledgeable and considerate guide, always prioritizing my comfort and carefully planning every step of our journey to ensure our success. Thanks to his guidance and explanations, I was able to enjoy the trek with peace of mind. This experience in the Himalayas will remain a treasured memory, holding great significance in my life.

The trek & climb to Island Peak summit was very well organised. Everyone was helpful and friendly. This was the experience of a lifetime! Shout out to Anil, Chandra, Kamal, Krishna and Khum! Super team ?

I went solo in low season (Jan) and it was amazing!!!!!! It was cold at night, but i had the trail and all of the lodges to myself. That's how I like it. Hike your own hike, but it's you prefer a more solitary experience, this is the time to do it. Also, blue skies the entire time!!! Maybe I got lucky?!?! I did 12 days that included Poon Hill and Anapurna Base Camp. Killer!!!!! Ramesh was my guide and he was the best! He really knows his stuff took care of everything. Such a great person too. I had been wanting to do this for 20 years and I was not disappointed. Seriously the trip of a lifetime. This outfit was recommended to me by word-of-mouth, and I'm telling everyone who will listen to come to Nepal and get into the mountains with these guys!!!!!

From the booking on, I always felt in good hands. Krishna, who is the main organizer, did his best to plan everything in advance. Also a connecting trip to Bhutan was offered quickly and to my full contentment. Our first meeting in the office in Kathmandu was full of laughing and made me really look forward to the upcoming trip. After a chaotic flight to Lukla (as expected), I met Ngima Sherpa, who should be my guide for the next 12 days. Ngima is a very kind person and an interesting teacher. He told me about so many details of Sherpa culture, knew every mountain and all the hidden tales sleeping in the Sagarmatha valley tradition. Since we were both quite fit, we often skipped stops and extended our daily "workload", which was never a problem. Then and now, he kept slowing me down when it was necessary. There is no need to say that the landscape was amazing! Actually, the way to it was more exciting than the EBC itself. But nothing could beat the sunrise on Kala Patthar with this perfect view on Everest and all the other mountains. All in all, this trip was a lifetime experience. Thanks to Krishna for the organization and Ngima for the guidance!

We had an amazing time during our Langtang trek in Nepal, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Raju. He was extremely helpful with absolutely everything we needed, always responding quickly and efficiently to any request or question. At the same time, he managed to give us exactly the right amount of personal space, which made the whole experience feel really relaxed and comfortable. Both Raju and our porter were incredibly friendly and polite throughout the trek – we couldn’t have asked for a better team to be with in the mountains. If you’re planning a trek in Nepal, we wholeheartedly recommend Raju. And if (or rather, when) we come back, there’s no doubt we’ll be trekking with him and the same porter again!
