Loved this trek. You visit some very remote places where traditional Nepali lifestyles are maintained. The combo of jungle and high altitude Himalayan mountain scenery gives you a comprehensive view of the Nepali landscape.
My guide Kuldhur Bahadur Gharti Magar and porter Chhoten Sherpa did an amazing job and I would highly recommend their services. They provided great options to supplement the itinerary based on my energy levels every day.
I am partial to the Langtang Himal. Fond memories of hiking through villages and pausing for each breathtaking vista. The staff of this company are attentive to needs and tuned to the expectations and interests of each traveler.

We embarked on an unforgettable journey along the Manaslu Circuit, exploring additional highlights like Kathmandu Heritage Tours. This tour operator graciously accommodated our request for extra days for an acclimatization and also to include some side trips, demonstrating impeccable professionalism and hospitality throughout our expedition. Our guide, Kumar, stood out with his exemplary service, providing us with insightful guidance, ensuring our health and well-being, and attentively caring for us during moments of fatigue or discomfort. The porters, including Prakash/Bhote ( as they called) and Anil. Kumar, went above and beyond their duties. Not only did they shoulder the weight of our bulky bags throughout the trek, but they also offered invaluable assistance on challenging terrains, ensuring our safety and comfort. Their warm demeanor and genuine Nepali hospitality enriched our journey, making it truly memorable. Thanks to the exceptional team, we had an enriching and delightful experience on the Manaslu Circuit trek, creating lasting memories that we will cherish for years to come. Thank you. Namaste !
When it comes to organizing an adventure-packed trip to the Everest Base Camp and beyond, this local travel specialist stands out as a reliable and efficient choice. From start to finish, they ensured that every aspect of the journey was well taken care of, leaving us with nothing but positive memories.
The Everest Base Camp Trek, which served as a warm-up before climbing Lobuche East Peak, was an exciting and fulfilling experience in itself. The trek allowed us to gradually acclimatize to the altitude and enjoy stunning landscapes along the way. The climb to Kala Patthar provided a unique perspective, as we descended into the valley from EBC, further aiding our acclimatization process while marveling at the breathtaking scenery.
However, it was the climb to Lobuche East Peak that truly tested our limits. The steepness of the peak presented a challenge, but thanks to the expertise of our climbing guide, who skillfully fixed ropes and offered guidance, we were able to conquer it without too much difficulty. The sense of achievement upon reaching the top was immeasurable and made all the hard work worthwhile.
Our experience with this agency was nothing short of exceptional. If you're seeking a well-organized and thrilling trekking experience in the Everest region, they should be at the top of your list.

"We had this great trek Makalu Base Camp trek with me and my husband here in Nepal, we joined with the group during this trek as i found this trekking region very different and unique than the other trekking regions here in Nepal as it provided the best views of Himalaya's, Mountains, flora and fauna,local people culture and their daily live hood. Our guide Lakpa Bhote was also a great experienced guide who was very helpful to us in every trail and path of this trek as he elaborated us that this region consists of 30 types of rhododendrons, 48 types of orchids with variety of tress and herbs.We found this trekking very much interesting as the trail were very fresh with great geographical and biological diversity between local people and flora and fauna, we also saw the outstanding great views of Sagarmatha(Everest),Lhotse,Baruna che,Kanchenjunga Himalayan ranges smiling back to you with many other ranges of Himalayas from the Sipten-La view point. As we reached the Makalu Base Camp we encountered the great lake on the foothills of Makalu as we thought this lake is made of the Himalayan glaciers of the Makalu as this lake color was as white as the Milk. This Makalu Base Camp also provided us the great view of many lakes with many mountain ranges and we suggest this trek for those travelers who are seeking for the great trek with quite environment and great natural views.
So as a whole we are satisfied with this trek and want to thank the whole local operator family for organizing this perfect trek for us and hope to have another great trek here in Nepal next year with you guys."

My name is Beattie, I'm 21, an Australian studying in the US and I just completed a 10 day trek to Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri. I could not stress more how much I enjoyed this trek and how you will definitely not regret a single thing when you book to trek in the everest region! I usually do not write reviews but this trip was so breathtaking that I just had to champion my guide, Dhana, and the agency he works for.
Firstly, I originally booked with a friend. However, she bailed a month from my departure date. I was originally hesitant to go alone but this should definitely not deter you from trekking in the area if this is a fear of yours. Trekking alone has its own spiritual power you cannot get when you trek in a big group. You can walk at your own pace and take breaks whenever you want! Also, you meet so so many amazing people while travelling solo so you're never really alone.
Secondly, my guide DHANA was the most amazing companion to have during the trip. He went above and beyond to make my hike enjoyable and smooth. He was such a sweet man who was great company. His English is close to impeccable and is a great card player! He beat me several times at a card game I taught him on the trek. Moreover, he is very flexible and can adjust your trip to your needs. He genuinely cares about you and wants you to have the best trip possible.
Thirdly, this local tour company based in Kathmandu is great. Chhatra, who I originally emailed after booking, met me when I first arrived in Kathmandu and was very warm and welcoming. He is clearly very experienced at what he does and understands the whole system very well - he will be truthful with you and is someone whose word you can trust. Moreover, this company provided me with numerous benefits I had no idea I was actually going to receive. Every night, my oxygen level and heart rate was checked, I received fruit after every dinner and got a free hat and cap upon arriving in Kathmandu. Definitely an awesome trustworthy company to book with.
Finally, the trek itself was amazing and a trip I'll never forget. I trekked in mid December which actually was such a perfect time. The trails weren't too crowded but still enough people were trekking in order to make friends. The lake was frozen over which was still as stunning as ever regardless. Summiting Gokyo Ri was by far my favorite part of the trip. We trekked it around 2:30pm and arrived at the summit just before sunset which was absolutely incredible. My phone died at the summit because it was so cold but luckily I had a film camera (I would highly recommend bringing a film camera or even a disposable as the cold can kill batteries pretty fast - portable charger is another great idea). In terms of altitude sickness, I was very lucky to not feel the altitude too much. Diamox can be taken if needed but I think if you're young and fit the chances are you don't need to take it.
Some final trips would be: bring chapstick, bring a portable charger, bring a film camera, pack lightly and bring proper hiking socks. Be prepared for potential delays going to and from Lukla as well.
I could not recommend this operator more. I would highly suggest requesting Dhana as your guide as he is not only very knowledgeable about hiking in the Himalayas but is also such a great human as well! I will definitely be back to Nepal.

Super trip covering Everest Base Camp but also several other high passes which are not on that heavily traveled route. Highly recommended if you want a more intimate experience.

This was our first trip to the Himalayas and we had the absolute greatest experience ever, thanks in total to the service from the local operator and our sherpa/guide Chandan Magar. Chandan proved to be more then the most capable and knowledgable of guides, always looking after us etc., he was also very personable and fun to spend with me during the trek ! We had many great laughs, eclipsed only by the wonderful places he took us to see. His knowledge and grasp of everything Nepali gave a deep insight into much more then just the trekking and mountains whcih Nepal is famous for. If you do a trek in Nepal ask first for Chandan Magar and you know your money is well spent! Sujan, who booked the tour and everything else for us in Kathmandu, was also not only a great professional but a good friend to have when overseas and far from home. All in all what else can I say other then that I cannot wait to do this all again in future!
