An adventure sports tour in Nepal was one of my favorite trips of all time. We had a great time and an unforgettable trip The tour company provided excellent service and everything was well organized. The information and the knowledge that we got during our stay were the best and full of details. Everything was arranged perfectly, and I did not have to worry about anything from our stay to the places we visited. Amazing experience and an amazing guide. An excellent trip, looking forward to another, perhaps next year.
Discover sacred culture and incredible natural landscapes as you venture deep into Tamang hinterland along the quiet Tamang Heritage Trail (restricted until 2004). On this 15-day trek, you’ll explore the wilds of Langtang National Park, uncover surprisingly verdant midlands and stay in villages that will teach you about the local culture. Connect with locals, share stories and fill your days with exhales (both in exhaustion and in awe). All this, paired with the soaring views of Manaslu Massif, Ganesh, Langtang and Jugal Himal. This trek is perfect for the adventurous and active traveller looking for something different well off the tourist trail.
ALTERNATE ITINERARY:
Due to the nature of trekking in Nepal, please be aware that this trip will operate on an amended itinerary in the event of high-risk weather conditions.
This was to be my third trip to the Himalayas, the last being the Annapurna Circuit in 2006 (before road building started on the circuit). I was looking for something different this time, a remote camping based trek off the beaten track and away from the relatively crowded paths and overstretched teahouses of Annapurna and Everest Base Camp. Manalsu more than met my expectations.
The trip was perfect! I really recommend it for panish peaple cause you can speak spanish. Kumar was our guide and he is a very nice person! We are very grateful to have him on our trip, he helped us with all we needed!!🙏🏽
I wanna tell you about our super fun time on the Manaslu circuit. The views were amazing, and the paths were quiet. We saw different things, like pretty rhododendron forests and big snowy peaks. Our guide, knew a lot and helped us understand the people and nature there. He made sure everyone in our group had a good time, no matter how much hiking they did before. They told us about the trip on the first night, and they took us for a yummy dinner with dancing in Kathmandu. They took really good care of us, and if you want to have a cool adventure, I totally say go with them to explore Manaslu. It's like a hidden treasure waiting for you!
I am thrilled to share my experience of the amazing Gokyo Valley Trek. This journey was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, every moment was filled with adventure, breathtaking views, and a sense of accomplishment.
Our guide, a true gem, added an extra layer of excitement to the entire trek. Not only was he knowledgeable and experienced, but he also had a fantastic personality that made the journey even more enjoyable. His ability to connect with each trekker individually and provide insightful information about the surroundings was truly commendable. He made sure we were well-informed about the route, local culture, and any potential challenges we might face along the way.
The trek itself was a perfect blend of fun and challenge. The trails took us through picturesque landscapes, allowing us to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of the Gokyo Valley. Each step brought us closer to the basecamp, and the anticipation grew with every passing day.
Undoubtedly, reaching the basecamp was the ultimate reward. Standing amidst the majestic mountains, surrounded by pristine snow-capped peaks, was an experience beyond words. The sense of achievement and the overwhelming beauty of the surroundings left us in awe. It was a moment that will forever be etched in my memory.
I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure. The Gokyo Valley Trek offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, physical challenge, and a sense of accomplishment. Whether you are a seasoned trekker or a novice, this journey will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
I am grateful for the opportunity to embark on this incredible adventure and would like to express my sincere appreciation to the entire team who made it possible. Their dedication, expertise, and attention to detail ensured that everything went smoothly, making this trip a truly remarkable experience.
The Gokyo Valley Trek exceeded all my expectations. It was an amazing journey filled with beauty, challenge, and a strong sense of achievement. If you are seeking an adventure that will leave you in awe of nature's wonders, look no further - the Gokyo Valley Trek is the perfect choice.
We have just returned from a trip to Everest Base Camp (over 55's in comfort - 12 April to 2 May). We loved it! Our group Guide, Tshering, Assistant Guide, Santosh and Sirdar, Rajan together with the "boys" (4 strong boys, cook and assistant cook) were wonderful, they were hard working and reliable. Friendly, helpful, informative, calm and encouraging. We were all over 60! 5 out of 7 got the Khumbu cough! Only one person showed any signs of altitude sickness and the length of the trip certainly helped acclimatise. Tshering made sure we received adequate medical advice and assistant if required. We all made it to EBC and certainly the longer trip, sensible acclimatisation and slow pace helped with this achievement. I'm still feeling proud. Whilst we were probably the most experienced hikers in our group, we had a member who had no trekking experience or etiquette in our group but we worked as a team and walked to the ability of the slowest. How wonderful it was to sit down at the end of each day knowing a drink, food, bed and warm dining room were all there waiting for us. Meals were tasty and enough offered for everyone, Santosh always on hand to offer us seconds. I almost always cleaned my plate! My favourites were the soups, porridge, potatoes, paratha's and chapati's, lentil dhal - always some veggies, all cooked expertly on a gas/kero stove. It was so reassuring to know we could eat and drink without fear of stomach issues which would have made the arduous trek even tougher! Yep, WE itinerary and experience showed and we would not hesitate in booking another trip in Nepal with WE. The contingency plan to get us back to Kathmandu by helicopter in time to catch international flights was well managed and executed. ****** Thanks all round to the team and ground staff in Nepal! P.S. the water bottles with hot water at bedtime to pop inside our sleeping bags - the best idea ever!
Makalu Base Camp Trekking takes about two weeks. The fifth highest mountain in the world, Mount Makalu lies at an elevation of 8463 m. It is situated in the Makalu Barun National Park, which covers an area of 2330 sq. km extending around the Solukhumbu and Sankhuwasabha districts of Nepal. And, the panorama of the highest mountain in the world such as Mount Everest, Mount Lhotse, Mount Chamlang, Makalu and other mountains greets you. Makalu base camp trek can be fairly challenging in some parts depending upon your level of physical fitness. The outstanding scenery of Makalu Base Camp Trek’s route significantly provides unique cultural heritage and incredible views of mountain peaks. From Makalu Base Camp there are spectacular views of the rarely seen Kangshung face of Everest, as well as Lhotse, Chamlang, and Kanchenjunga in the far east.
Are you looking for a climbing challenge? Join our super adventure climbing program that includes the three most famous peaks in the Everest Region: Pokalde Peak, Island Peak, and Lobuche East Peak. Our program has been carefully designed with a gradual ascent, proper acclimatization, and escalating complexity in mind. We are sure that the sense of accomplishment you will experience after scaling three of the most famous Peaks in the Everest region will linger in your memory forever!
Pokalde Peak or the Dolma Ri (5806m) is comparatively the easiest climb. Island Peak (6,189m), originally known as the Imja Tse, is located in the heart of the Everest region and derives its name from its striking location in the middle of the Chhukung valley, like an Island on a sea of ice. It is a tougher climb than Pokalde, but still, Mount Lobuche East (6119m) climb is the most challenging of the three.
We'll begin our trip following the famous Everest trail via Namche, Tengboche, and Dingboche. The trail to Pokalde Peak deviates from Dingboche while following through the usual route to Everest Base Camp. We will cross the Kongma La pass (5,535 meters) to reach the high camp of the peak. The trek from the camp through the rocky trail eventually rewards you with an extraordinary mountain spectacle including Mt Makalu, Ama Dablam, Pumori, and a vast mountain vista of the Khumbu region. After summiting Pokalde Peak, we trek to Chhukung for our next target, Island Peak. Hard efforts getting to the top of Island peak are worth finding Lhotse, Nuptse, Baruntse, Ama Dablam and Makalu at tip of your nose. Having done Island peak we descend down to Dingboche, trek up to Everest Base camp and Kala Patthar and move forward to Lobuche East peak. Having done with Lobuche East peak, one of the most challenging among 'trekkers peaks' in the Everest region we retrace our path to Lukla via Namche with a sense of achievement.

I used this local operator for a solo climb expedition of Chulu West in the Annapurna Region (6419m Peak)
Khum and Krishna at the office did a great job in setting everything up and communication during the expedition was easy, fast and efficient.
The logistics were taken care of without any major hiccups.
This expedition is quite an undertaking with setting up both a base camp on around 5000m and a High Camp around 5600m, but everything went smoothly.
The absolut highlight were the guides:
- the general guide Bishnu who knows the Annapurna Area inside out
- the climbing guide LakCha who is extremely competent and knowledgeable about all aspects of high altitude climbing
I cant praise the guides enough and would urge you to request them specifically for any high altitude climbs !
We had a great successful summit day with amazing weather and reached the summit in record time just for sunrise !
I give this operator and Bishnu and LakCha my highest recommendation !
Explore the beautiful Manaslu Region of Nepal on this 18-day trekking trip! The remoteness and secluded nature of the area make this trek a great choice for those looking to find some solitude or be immersed in nature and offer something different from the busier Annapurna Region.
The trip begins with sightseeing of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu and takes adventurers to trek in the beautiful Manaslu region. While on the trip, we get to marvel at the magnificent views of Mount Manaslu (8163m), the eighth tallest mountain in the world, coupled with a chance to witness the rich local heritage and biological diversity of the region. The highest point in this trek is the ‘Larkya La Pass’ which is widely believed to be one of the most dramatic passes crossing the Himalayas.
Like all our carefully-planned itineraries, this trek also ensures adequate time for proper acclimatization. Much of the trek involves walking on mountain trails and is within the capabilities of people with good cardiovascular fitness. Still, it is important to note that trekking at altitudes above 3000m/10,000ft is more demanding on the body than walking at low elevations.
The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake ranks among the most illustrious treks you can take in Nepal. It promises adventure, sights, and culture.
In this 15-dat journey, you will get a rare perspective of Annapurna (8,097 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Manaslu (8,163 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m) and Tukuche (6,920), among many other peaks. The other highlight of this trip is the stunning Tilicho (4,919 m), world's highest elevation lake. Traversing the Thorong La Pass (5,416 m) also promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, despite being one of the most challenging part of the journey.
Throughout the trek, we will see a variety of sceneries and zones that range from subtropic to alpine terrains, encounter numerous ecosystems, and unique cultures of mountain communities. We will travel past mountain streams, rhododendron forests, mountain valleys, and gorges.
See the itinerary section for more details.
