Book with Icicles Adventure Treks for a truly wonderful experience

Our experience was completely wonderful from start to finish. The tour company made booking in difficult times straight forward and rather easy. The local operator who were looking after us in Kathmandu and on our trek were perfect. From the moment we cleared customs we were completely looked after and had absolutely no worries or concerns, everything was taken care of for us. We we collected by Ram our trek guide and transferred to the hotel, we met Indira there and she was and is an amazing woman. Everything was explained to us and we were given everything we needed. Indira is the perfect hostess, she arranged a private tour for us and gave us her contact number in case there was anything we were unsure of or needed. On the trek Ram was amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable, he sorted everything for us day to day and made sure our moral was kept high particularly when the going got tough! He gave us so much insight and information into life in Nepal and on the trek and never left our side. We felt so lucky he was our guide and cant thank him enough. Without you Ram we would never have got to EBC love ya mate!! We renewed our wedding vows at EBC and back in Kathmandu Indira arranged a monk to give us a blessing ceremony at Monkey Temple. Her care and attention to detail was humbling and touching. We were worried about the PCR test before flying back, this again was sorted by Indira, what an amazing woman. Thank you Indira. A special mention for Prabin our Sherpa/Porter who carried our gear for us an amazing young man with lungs the size of planets and Parashu our Kathmandu guide who gave us a wonderfully informative tour of the cities sights. Some advice for people wanting to do the EBC trek please book it with this local operator, amazing service, great customer care, brilliant people and truly top value for your money. Thanks guys.

My first Everest Base Camp Experience !

We had done Everest Base Camp Trek in November, 2021. This was my first international trip after COVID-19 pandemic. The trip was fantastic, amazing views of the mountains. It was a bit colder than October I hope but it was not much than my expectation. My guide Ram was very knowledgeable, helpful and very attentive.

Great team, great trek

Having recently completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with this local operator , I would just like to say, what an excellent team they were. From our first meeting at the airport in Kathmandu until we left 16 days later, nothing was to much trouble.Our Guide shiva, and the two porters for our group were excellent, always providing the best service without complaint and a smile, he was great company too and an excellent photographer. Some of the best photographs of our journey were taken by him and shared with the group.The accommodation and food provided from beginning to end far exceeded our expectations. This was an amazing adventure made even better by the operator, we were made comfortable, welcome and happy all along the way and nothing was too much trouble for Guide Raj.If you're considering a visit to Nepal, I would highly recommend this company and all it's wonderful staff.Whether it's one of the many treks available or just a guided tour of Kathmandu, you won't be disappointed.We also had a guided tour of some of the most important temples in Kathmandu and shiva was knowledgeable and again great company.Thank you for hosting our adventure of a lifetime and leaving us with the best memories
