We could not have been happier with our trek with this local travel specialist. The hike around the Manaslu mountain range was absolutely gorgeous, the scenery was breathtaking and much more diverse than we expected. For days, we walked through all kinds of jungle and rainforests - we even saw some wild monkeys, all while the mountains were towering above us in the distance. We walked beneath massive waterfalls and crossed suspension bridges hundreds of meters above the roaring mountain river that the path follows along.
The acclimatization time for the altitude was perfect on this trek, and when we reached the higher mountains we could really enjoy the breathtaking landscape. Seeing Manaslu tower 5000m above you when you are already at over 3000m elevation makes you feel small in the best way possible. In the high mountains we saw dozens of eagles and hundreds of yaks.
The daily hikes were not too long, but still challenging on some days, the perfect distances to keep it interesting but not too exhausting.
What made this trek extremely pleasant more than anything else was our guide Lok. With his funny and open-minded nature he made even the strenuous passages of the trek feel enjoyable. He not only gave us a lot of insights about the trek and the mountains of Nepal but also brought us closer to Nepal's culture and history. Sharing our experiences with other trekkers we met along the way made us even more aware of how lucky we were to have Lok. Through his years of experience he knew all the tricks and always got us the best rooms, just for example. He also responded to our wishes on a daily basis and we were able to shape the trek individually. When one of us was not feeling well and Lok could not find anything suitable in his large first aid kit, he went above and beyond to scout out the pharmacies in every village until the necessary medicine was found.
After returning from the trek, he gave us recommendations for the shops with the best quality for the best prices, which was also very helpful considering the overwhelming number of mountaineering stores in the city.
We booked a porter for the trip and we were so glad we did. Being able to pack that extra sweater or pair of socks at altitude is more than worth it. Our porter was very pleasant and always there to help in the guesthouses.
We had an amazing time and we will definitely be back to do another trek with Lok and this local travel specialist!
I had a wonderful adventure to the top of the World. At 66 and fit, I would recommend this to everybody. The Exodus team were wonderful and the whole party got to base camp.

We had a really nice time on our three passes Trek. I would definitely recommend doing the three passes over the normal Everest base camp trip as views are much nicer and you see more of the Everest region.
Just don't rush the trip too much as you really need the time for acclimatization. Making the trip longer is always the better option then shorter and we have seen quite some people who had big issues with altitude sickness because they went up too fast. There are several peaks you can add additional to the three passes if you have enough time what I would recommend as well.
Be careful with the guide you get, at the end it is your trip so he should really adapt to your wishes. Here you have to be strict that the guide is following your wishes and not you his.
I did the Everest Base Camp trek with this tour operator as a solo traveler. I was placed in a group of five other fellow travelers. From start to finish, it was an incredible experience. Thanks to Sujan, who meticulously planned my trip and was highly responsive throughout the process. Our guide, Milan, was exceptional. His professionalism, kindness, and friendly behavior made the trek unforgettable and enjoyable. Milan's constant attention to our safety and wellbeing ensured a smooth and secure journey. Overall, it was a once in a lifetime experience, and I highly recommend this tour operator their outstanding service.
Great experience with Khum ji in coordinating the trek,travel in Kathmandu and to Lukla and was lucky to have the best porter/guide Dendi who twice summitted Everest and provided all the help and know about the area. Although lost a few days for not a seat on plane to Lukla, it was a great experience overall.
We can highly recommend doing this Trek. It is a tough hiking trek (since you will be at very high altitudes for multiple days in a row) but the views make up for it - the landscape is stunning. Our Guide (Sanchaman Rai) explained a lot and did his best so that we felt always safe and secure. When we could not finish the first pass (Kongma La) - Sanchaman adjusted our plan so that we could do the other two passes, even though we lost a day. All in all it was a great trek with a great tour agency. (Hint: If you think about doing the Trek in less than 16Days - it may be possible, but make sure that you acclimatize correctly otherwise you will not enjoy the experience :-). In our opinion 16 Days is the perfekt amount of time).
The whole team at World Expeditions were fantastic from the office staff, the porters, kitchen staff, sherpas and the on the on the ground meet and greet staff were all excellent _ I cant commend the process enough and felt safe and well informed the whole time.Many thanks

The trip was perfectly managed by Rajendra, the itinerary was very good. Venn our guide and Sandeep our porter were very professional and kind, we had great time together. Venn knows very well the area so he explained to us the mountains, the itinerary, and shared good and interesting conversations about life in Nepal.

We just arrived from an 18 days trek on the Himalayas, we went with a local tour operator. We had a great experience in the country, especially during our trek in the Himalayas, it is, indeed, a hard trip, so is important to be confident about your guides. We loved Dhan, our guide, and Guanzhou and Madraj, who helped us with our luggage. A once in a life experience with unforgettable landscapes and people. Thanks' so much.
