The best EBC trek!

I completed the EBC trek with this local tour operator in October. From the beginning the company were excellent. They responded to all questions very quickly and clearly. They provided lots of extra information for me for my stay in Kathmandu. The guide on my trek, Raj, was excellent. He was great fun and had our safety as his first priority all the time. He kept us positive throughout and gave us clear information before each day of what would happen. The lodges we stayed in were exactly what we needed and the food throughout the trek was great. Our porters were also great fun and so kind. Raj was excellent at keeping everyone together and making sure that everybody was ok during the trek. We had a beautiful celebratory dinner once we had completed the trek, where we saw some traditional dancing and received plaques to remember our trek. The trek exceeded my expectations and I think a lot of that is down to Himalayan Recreation. I would highly recommend them for your trek!

Best Everest Base Camp Trek Experience!

We did Everest Base Camp Trek, one of the most beautiful experiences of our life! It was an exhilarating and life changing experience. The views were stunning and even for second you can't close your eyes. We were also introduced to the Sherpa culture and saw Tibetan Gompa along the route which added to the trip's beauty. The tour company staff were very supportive and professional. They took care of us from arrival to departure. We are very much thankful to them for making our trek to EBC a success. We spent a total of 14 days in Nepal for the trip, the trek itself was 11 night 12 days with 2 acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche. We had to wait for a few hours to get our flights from Lukla due to weather conditions. But the thrilling flight was well worth it. We are fully satisfied with our decision to choose this trip and would back again for Annapurna Base Camp in near future.

Everest Base Camp Trek - very impressed!

Glad I chose this travel operator for trekking guides and advice. The guides were true experts in their field - they were true locals who were aware of the Himalayan weather, local foods and local places to recommend for me. Most importantly, they could communicate well in English which made the trip easy to follow. I was warmly welcomed at the airport and was given a warm departure too which made the whole experience very memorable. I felt safe throughout my whole trek and thoroughly cared for. There was nothing that was too much to ask - from attached accommodation when possible to anything on the menu I wanted (obviously with minor additional costs) to trekking equipment guidance such as crampons and they also helped when I had altitude sickness. I would not have made it to EBC without the expertise of the guys at this company. EBC itself was also a unique combination of beautiful scenery, cultural variety and physical challenge. The company helped me achieve my goal with ease and care. Thank you again and I definitely would recommend them 10/10 satisfaction!! Cannot wait to come back for another trek!

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
