When the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at the chance to go to India for the first time. It’s impossible to experience everything this beautiful country has to offer in just 4 days but with this Golden Triangle Tour I received a great first introduction to the vast history, artistry and diversity of India. Sartaj helped me get set up. He was patient and prompt in addressing all my questions. He made this experience special from beginning to end. Each guide who met me was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I felt very fortunate to have been paired with Arif in New Delhi, Viki in Agra, and Yusuf in Jaipur. I learned so much from each of them. They worked with me and made sincere efforts to adapt to my interests and needs whenever possible. My assigned driver Manik was my constant companion throughout the tour. He always made me feel safe and well cared for. As a female solo traveler I give this tour two thumbs up. I would gladly work with them again if the opportunity presents itself. Reasonable price, quality experience, knowledgeable team, helpful, safe & secure, friendly, patient, clear & prompt communication, and willingness to consider my personal interests. From a rickshaw tour through the narrow streets of Old Delhi, to the magical Taj Mahal and the multilayered grand Agra Fort, to the whimsical Hawa Mahal and the Pink City… This tour left me wanting to return to India again very soon.
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.

If you're planning to do a trek in Nepal, this local travel specialist is the way to go! I recently completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with them and had the most amazing experience. As a solo female traveler, I wanted to make sure to use a reputable company that I felt comfortable with and this agency far exceeded all of my expectations. They were extremely professional and quick to respond to any of the questions I had before the trip. Everything was so organized, from airport pickup/ drop off to the daily itinerary of the trek itself. My guide, Dipak, was also amazing! He truly went above and beyond to make sure that I had the trip of a lifetime. He was so knowledgeable about the region and about high altitude trekking in general. I felt extremely taken care of the entire time and also felt like I had a new best friend! He offered to help take photos and videos throughout the trek, which was amazing and even put together daily videos of each days highlights. I was able to truly just take the whole experience in. I hope to be able to do another trek with this agency and Dipak in the future!

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 !
This was a trip I will never forget. Such great people who joined the trip, a CEO with good control, overview and looked after us all. I had a lot of fun and will recommend Solo ish to friends and family. Thanks for the trip and thanks to Jamona!

This is an excellent trip for fit, aspiring mountaineers. It offers scrambling, glacier travel, ascender and rapelling with stunning views of Ama Dablam at sunrise.
World Expeditions have been fantastic throughout. Professional in every way, courteous, and informative. Along the trail, the experience, and ease with which we were guided to Base Camp was awesome. The WE stamp is well and truly visible at every stop, and every camp or eco lodge. They are clearly a well-respected business across the region.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing, even though it was just the two of us on the tour. Everything was perfectly organized, and we got to enjoy a more personal and flexible experience. Our tour leader made the trip even more special with their knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality. They took great care to tailor the journey to our interests, making every stop meaningful. It truly felt like a private adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience.

We've just come back from Manaslu and Tsum Valley trek organised by Nest Adventure. Sandip, manager of the company, was very responsive from first contact by email and he answered all our questions before our trip and prepared the trek for us.
We had very experienced local guide KP and two amazing and funny porters Krishna and Amrit, who worked very hard to make our trek enjoyable. Thanks again guys, dhanyabatt.
