I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Suman on the Everest Base Camp trek. He was patient, accommodating, and made sure that everyone in our group had an amazing time. It was truly an unforgettable adventure.
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.
As an experienced hiker, I can confidently say that the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a must-do for any outdoor enthusiast. The trail was well-maintained and the scenery was out of this world. Just make sure to pack enough warm layers for those chilly nights!
Each day unfolded like a well-crafted story, from the bustling
markets of Kathmandu to the serene lakes of Pokhara. The guides were not just experts but
storytellers, enriching our experience. Impeccable service, breathtaking views, and a seamless
journey
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.
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. Explore the glistening bodies of water and enjoy stunning views of the Himalayas from Gokyo Ri before heading back to Lungden via the Renjo La Pass. Then continue your downhill journey via Thame and Namche to reach Lukla, from where you will catch your flight home.
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.
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.

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 just finished a customized extended 19 day trek around Manaslu. My local guide Tsiring used his extraordinary familiarity with the area to include two overnight home-stays and five days of hiking on unique trails away from the standard route around the mountain.

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.
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!
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.
