Reviews of our Kathmandu Tours for December
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Kathmandu during December.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
The most stunning trek you can imagine. The Himalaya's really are great cathedrals of nature. Walk alongside 3 of the top 10 peaks in the world, with an itinerary set up to ensure you succeed at altitude and make it over the amazing Thorong La Pass at 5,416m. Most competitors do the trek in 2 weeks, missing large sections or not acclimatising properly - the 22 day version means you complete (just about) everything.

The leader, Sudarshan (Su) made the trip extra special. He went far above that which was required for his role. His attention to detail, to our every need and always being there in case an issue presented itself was outstanding. In fact I wished quite a few times he would simply relax and allow himself some time to himself to rest!

What a wonderful experience. Between the expertise provided from our amazing guide Balram to our cook Mr Pulmar who continued to satisfy a picky eater every day and our incredible porters Deepak and Ravi who always ended the day with a smile. What more is there to like and how privileged we were to be guided through Nepal with this team. Amazing effort and we cant wait to visit again. Thank you so much to the team.

I am writing to compliment our guide on the trip. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was kind and friendly and made our trip very pleasant. He became like family to us while we were on the trek. He took care of all of our needs and made sure that we had everything to make us comfortable. During the trek, I developed acute elevation sickness. He brought me tea and took care of me and did everything to make me comfortable. He made all of the arrangements for the emergency rescue and came with us to the hospital. We will never forget everything that he did for us. We have traveled all over the world and with many travel companies. Thank you for providing him as our guide.
