Excellent experience with our guide and porters. They were able to accommodate quick changes in our plans when some of our members showed symptoms of AMS. They are also some of the fittest people I have ever met and are kind and entertaining at the same time. It was a pleasure to learn about their culture. If you ever get the opportunity, see if you can learn and play Baghchal.

Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek
The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is an extraordinary journey, and those who embark on it soon realize that their adventure has just begun in the heart of Nepal. This trek offers unparalleled vistas, with majestic mountains standing tantalizingly close.
Many trekkers seek to explore the remote and awe-inspiring landscapes of Nepal but are constrained by limited vacation time. They crave the allure of high peaks and the sense of solitude that comes with it, not necessarily needing to conquer Everest. In this regard, the third highest peak in the world, Kanchenjunga, offers an allure that surpasses common expectations. Its lofty status captivates trekkers, while its remoteness beckons them to one of the most pristine regions on Earth. These trekkers are also explorers, drawn to immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area and the remote wilderness.
Kanchenjunga itself is not of Nepali origin but derives from the Tibetan language, signifying gold, silver, precious stones, grains, and Holy Scriptures. The path to Kanchenjunga Base Camp leads through a captivating landscape, rich with tropical jungles adorned with rhododendrons, oaks, and chestnuts, ascending to high-altitude alpine forests. Along the way, trekkers encounter diverse flora and fauna, monasteries, stupas, and Gompas, all set against the majestic backdrop of the Himalayas. The Kanchenjunga region also boasts a unique Tibetan Buddhist culture, undisturbed habitats, and the rich traditions of the Rai and Limbu communities.
Arriving at Kanchenjunga Base Camp, trekkers are spellbound by the mountain's splendor. It stands proudly in its remote location, yet exudes a breathtaking beauty that captivates the body, mind, and soul. Choosing to embark on the Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek is a decision that promises a profound and unforgettable adventure.
Gokyo Lakes Trek
Be part of this 12-day, guided trek and get the chance to visit the Gokyo Lakes, glistening bodies water high up in the Himalayas that are fed by the surrounding glaciers. Your journey starts in Kathmandu with a short flight to the airstrip in Lukla.
Hit the trail for Namche Bazaar and continue your journey to the Gokyo Valley via Dole and Machhermo to reach the Gokyo Lakes.

The Gokyo Valley is home to six glacial lakes that hold special significance to both Hindus and Buddhists. It is also known for Gokyo Ri (5,357m), which offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Although not as well known as Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, the views of Mount Everest from Gokyo Ri are said to surpass those from Kala Patthar. Other peaks that you can see from Gokyo Ri include Mount Cho Oyo (8,153m), Mount Makalu (8,475m) and Mount Lhotse (8,511m).
The other highlight of this trip is the Ngozumba Glacier, the longest glacier in Nepal that is also the source of the lakes in the Gokyo Valley. The best months for this trek are from September to December and February to May.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek: Five Days
5
As a first-time trekker, the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek was an ideal choice. The route was well-balanced, offering a moderate level of difficulty without being overwhelming. The breathtaking mountain scenery, charming villages, and warm hospitality of the local people made the experience even more memorable. The services provided by the local operator were top-notch, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. I highly recommend this trek to beginners and nature enthusiasts.
Annapurna & Dhaulagiri Trek
4.5
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 10 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!
Island Peak Climbing & Everest Base Camp Trek
4.5
The climb to Island Peak in 2017 was a great accomplishment for me. This was a very beautiful adventure arranged by the local operator. I trekked to Everest Base Camp and on the way back, I crossed the Kongmala Pass and went to Island peak from Chukung. The whole package was well organized, the guide was an experienced guy who trekked over 20 years in the Himalayas. I am very thankful to Upendra for arranging this holiday for me.
