Imagine standing at the threshold of an adventure that promises to touch the heavens. Your 15-day Everest Base Camp trek begins in the heart of Nepal, as the whisper of mountains pulls you ever closer. The journey is not just a trek; it’s an odyssey across lands where the Himalayas cast their timeless spell, draping the world in snow-clad silence and unparalleled majesty.
Day one begins with a flight, a tiny bird in the vast sky, taking you from Kathmandu to Lukla. As the plane dips into the horizon, a flutter of excitement rises; this is the gateway to the mountains. Upon landing, the air is crisp and the hills beckon with age-old paths, winding toward Namche Bazaar. The trek winds through Dudh Koshi River’s valleys, where prayer flags flutter like dreams strung across the blue, and the sound of yak bells echoes in rhythm with your footsteps. The forests change from pine to rhododendron, and each step brings you deeper into a landscape untamed by time.
At Namche Bazaar, you find yourself in the lap of Sherpa culture. The town clings to the hillside, a vibrant patchwork of life at the edge of the known world. Two days of acclimatization blend seamlessly into exploration—vivid markets with Himalayan goods, warm teahouses filled with laughter, and endless views of the mountains that now feel like guardians. From here, the trek ascends, and every breath draws in a sense of awe.
As you move toward Tengboche, the journey takes you through suspension bridges swaying over gorges, and rivers racing beneath you like restless spirits. The Tengboche Monastery, perched like a vision, stands amidst a panorama of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam—peaks that seem to etch themselves into the sky. In the stillness of the monastery, you hear the hum of prayer wheels turning, their chants melding with the wind—a moment of serenity before the rugged path ahead.
The trek pushes on through Dingboche, Lobuche, and finally Gorak Shep, where the thinning air whispers of the altitude you now tread. The world grows starker, more beautiful, as rocks and glaciers become the canvas of nature’s most extraordinary masterpiece. Finally, after days of ascending through thin air and quiet valleys, you arrive at Everest Base Camp, the culmination of your journey. It is a realm of ice and stone, where the Khumbu Icefall rises like frozen waves, and Everest stands, veiled in mist and mystery.
Here, under the shadow of the world's highest peak, you feel the convergence of the earth's heartbeat with your own. The vastness humbles you, yet fills you with an overwhelming sense of achievement. As you stand there, looking up at the roof of the world, you realize that this journey was never just about reaching Everest—it was about the landscapes you crossed, the quiet moments you shared with the mountains, and the stories carried by the winds.
The descent, though physically easier, brings its own emotional weight. Retracing your steps through the villages and forests feels like leaving behind an old friend. But as you return to Lukla, you carry the mountains within you, forever changed by the Everest Base Camp trek—a journey that began with the promise of adventure and ended with the gift of understanding one’s place in a vast, ancient world

The day begins with the crisp, bracing air of the highlands, the morning sun casting long shadows over the rugged terrain. The path unwinds before you, a ribbon of adventure leading back through the tapestry of the Himalayas.

The Dudh Koshi River, once a roaring torrent, now murmurs softly beside you, a gentle reminder of the days spent traversing its banks.

The landscapes of the Himalayas, etched in your memory like an intricate tapestry, seem to whisper their goodbyes.
The final moments in the terminal feel like a delicate pause in a symphony of adventure. You cast a last, lingering glance at the departure gates, where the echoes of your trek and the thrill of your explorations dance in your thoughts. The familiar yet distant peaks of your recent journey are now mere silhouettes against the horizon, but their presence lingers like a cherished dream.

Yes, you can obtain a Nepal visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu if you're arriving by air. This visa allows you to enter Nepal for various purposes, including tourism, business, or visiting friends and family.
For trekking to Everest Base Camp, you would typically require a tourist visa. As of my last update in January 2022, the visa fees for tourists are as follows:
These fees are subject to change, so it's advisable to check with the Nepalese embassy or consulate in your country or visit the official website of the Department of Immigration of Nepal for the most up-to-date information.
Upon arrival, you'll need to fill out a visa application form, which you can obtain at the airport. You'll also need to provide a valid passport, a recent passport-sized photo, and the appropriate visa fee in cash (USD or equivalent). Additionally, you may be asked to provide proof of your onward journey (such as a flight ticket) and evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Nepal.
Once you've obtained your visa, you'll be able to proceed with your trek to Everest Base Camp or any other destination in Nepal.
As of my last update in January 2024, there isn't a strict age limit for the Classic Everest Base Camp Lodge Trek. However, it's essential to consider the physical fitness and health condition of the individual. The trek involves walking long distances, often at high altitudes, which can be physically demanding.
Most tour operators or trekking agencies recommend that participants be in good physical condition and have some prior trekking experience. Additionally, individuals should be aware of the risks associated with high-altitude trekking, such as altitude sickness.
While there isn't a specific age limit, older adults should consult with their healthcare provider before embarking on such a trek to ensure they are physically fit and able to handle the challenges of the journey. Additionally, trekking agencies may have their own guidelines or recommendations regarding age limits or fitness levels for participants.
Yes, it is possible to arrange a helicopter evacuation from Everest Base Camp (EBC) back to Kathmandu or Lukla if needed. Helicopter rescues or evacuations are sometimes necessary in case of medical emergencies, severe altitude sickness, or other urgent situations where trekking back on foot is not feasible.
However, arranging a helicopter evacuation from EBC can be quite expensive and is typically reserved for emergencies. The cost of a helicopter rescue can vary widely depending on factors such as the distance, availability of helicopters, weather conditions, and the urgency of the situation. It's important to have adequate travel insurance that covers helicopter evacuations and medical emergencies while trekking in Nepal.
If you're considering trekking to EBC, it's essential to be prepared and take necessary precautions to minimize the risk of altitude sickness and other health issues. Additionally, trekking with a reputable guide or agency can help ensure your safety and provide assistance in case of emergencies.
If you're planning a trek to Everest Base Camp and have concerns about your ability to complete the journey or potential emergencies, it's advisable to discuss these concerns with your trekking guide or agency before departure. They can provide information and guidance on safety measures and emergency procedures.
Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is a potential concern for trekkers on the Classic Everest Base Camp Lodge Trek due to the high altitudes involved. The trek takes you to altitudes above 5,000 meters (16,404 feet), where the air is thinner and oxygen levels are lower. Altitude sickness can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or fitness level, and it's essential to be aware of the symptoms and take preventive measures to minimize the risk.
Some common symptoms of altitude sickness include:
In severe cases, altitude sickness can lead to more serious conditions such as high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), which require immediate medical attention.
To reduce the risk of altitude sickness on the Everest Base Camp trek, consider the following tips:
Acclimatization: Take your time to acclimatize to the high altitudes by gradually ascending and allowing your body to adjust. It's recommended to spend at least a couple of days at higher elevations to acclimatize properly.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water, to stay hydrated at high altitudes. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, as they can contribute to dehydration.
Eat Well: Maintain a balanced diet and eat foods rich in carbohydrates and calories to fuel your body for the trek. However, avoid overeating or heavy meals, especially at higher altitudes.
Take It Slow: Pace yourself and avoid overexertion while trekking. Take frequent breaks to rest and catch your breath, especially when ascending steep sections of the trail.
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how you're feeling and be mindful of any symptoms of altitude sickness. If you experience symptoms such as headache, nausea, or dizziness, descend to a lower altitude immediately and seek medical attention if necessary.
Consider Medication: Some trekkers may choose to take preventive medication such as acetazolamide (Diamox) to help reduce the risk of altitude sickness. Consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication and discuss the potential risks and benefits.
Ultimately, while altitude sickness is a potential risk on the Everest Base Camp trek, many trekkers complete the journey successfully by taking appropriate precautions, acclimatizing properly, and listening to their bodies. If you have any concerns about altitude sickness or your ability to trek at high altitudes, consider consulting with a healthcare professional before embarking on the trek.
To obtain a Nepali visa for the Everest Base Camp trek or any other purpose, you have a few options:
Visa on Arrival: If you're flying into Nepal, you can obtain a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or at certain land border crossings. The visa on arrival allows you to enter Nepal for various purposes, including tourism. You'll need to fill out a visa application form at the airport or border crossing, provide a passport-sized photo, and pay the applicable visa fee in USD or other accepted currency.
Nepali Embassy or Consulate: Alternatively, you can apply for a Nepali visa at a Nepali embassy or consulate in your home country or in a nearby country before traveling to Nepal.

Yes, trekking permits are required for the Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. There are two main permits that trekkers need to obtain:
Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit: The Everest region, including the trek to Everest Base Camp, falls within the Sagarmatha National Park. Trekkers need to obtain a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit from the Nepal Tourism Board or its authorized agents in Kathmandu or Lukla. This permit is required for entry into the national park and helps support conservation efforts in the area.
Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entry Permit: In addition to the Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, trekkers also need to obtain a local permit from the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality, which covers the Everest region. This permit is obtained in Lukla or Monjo and is necessary for trekking in the local villages and communities along the route to Everest Base Camp.
Both permits are essential, and you'll need to carry them with you during your trek as they may be checked at various checkpoints along the trail. It's important to obtain these permits through authorized channels and to follow the regulations and guidelines set by the local authorities to ensure a smooth and legal trekking experience in the Everest region. Additionally, trekking with a registered guide or through a reputable trekking agency can help ensure that all necessary permits are obtained and that you comply with local regulations.
Adventure Nepal Eco Treks offer services directly, including payment terms for treks. However, payment terms for an Everest Base Camp trek can vary depending on the trekking company or agency you choose to book with. Here are some common payment terms you might encounter:
Deposit: Many trekking companies require a deposit to secure your booking. This deposit is typically a percentage of the total cost of the trek and is paid at the time of booking. The remaining balance is usually due before the start of the trek.
Full Payment: Some trekking companies may require full payment upfront at the time of booking, especially for last-minute bookings or peak trekking seasons when demand is high.
Payment Schedule: In some cases, trekking companies may offer a payment schedule where you can pay in installments leading up to the start of the trek. This can make it easier to manage the cost of the trek over time.
Payment Methods: Trekking companies may accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, or cash. Be sure to inquire about accepted payment methods and any associated fees or surcharges.
Cancellation Policy: It's essential to understand the cancellation policy of the trekking company you book with, including any deadlines for cancellations and any applicable fees or penalties.
When booking an Everest Base Camp trek, make sure to carefully review the payment terms and conditions provided by the trekking company or agency. If you have any questions or concerns about the payment terms, don't hesitate to ask the company for clarification before making your booking.
Yes, you can bring some food from home for your Everest Base Camp trek, although there are a few factors to consider:
Customs and Import Regulations: When bringing food from home into Nepal, you should be aware of customs and import regulations. Certain food items may be restricted or prohibited, so it's essential to check with Nepalese authorities or your country's embassy or consulate in Nepal to ensure compliance with regulations.
Packaging and Weight Restrictions: Keep in mind that you'll be carrying all of your belongings, including food, during your trek. Be mindful of weight restrictions and pack lightweight, non-perishable items that are suitable for trekking.
Availability of Local Food: Along the Everest Base Camp trekking route, you'll find teahouses and lodges that offer meals and snacks for trekkers. While the variety of food available may be limited compared to what you're accustomed to at home, you'll generally find basic meals such as dal bhat (rice and lentils), noodles, soups, and snacks like energy bars and biscuits.
Special Dietary Requirements: If you have specific dietary requirements or preferences, bringing some food items from home that cater to your needs can be beneficial. However, it's a good idea to supplement these with locally available foods to ensure a balanced diet during your trek.
Perishable Items: Avoid bringing perishable food items that may spoil quickly, especially if you're trekking for an extended period. Stick to non-perishable items like nuts, dried fruits, energy bars, instant noodles, and pre-packaged snacks.
Overall, bringing some food from home can provide familiarity and variety during your trek, but it's essential to plan carefully and consider the practicalities of carrying and consuming food while trekking in the Everest region.
Yes, there are communication options available when trekking in the Everest region, including when you're on the mountain itself. However, the availability and reliability of communication methods can vary depending on your location and altitude.
Here are some common communication options:
Satellite Phones: Many trekking groups and guides carry satellite phones for emergency communication. These phones can work in remote areas where there is no cellular coverage, but they can be expensive to use.
Mobile Phone Coverage: In some parts of the Everest region, especially in lower altitudes and near villages, you may find mobile phone coverage from local Nepalese telecom providers. However, coverage can be sporadic and unreliable, especially at higher altitudes and in more remote areas.
Wi-Fi: Some teahouses and lodges along popular trekking routes, including those leading to Everest Base Camp, offer Wi-Fi connectivity for a fee. However, the quality and speed of the connection can vary significantly, and it may not be available in more remote areas or at higher altitudes.
Emergency Beacons: Some trekkers carry personal locator beacons (PLBs) or emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) that can send distress signals via satellite in case of emergencies. These devices can alert rescue services to your location and situation.
Radio Communication: Guides and trekking groups may use handheld radios for communication between team members or with support staff at base camps or other locations.
It's essential to plan and prepare for communication needs before embarking on a trek, especially in remote and mountainous areas like Everest Base Camp. Having multiple communication options and ensuring that someone knows your itinerary and emergency contacts can help ensure your safety while trekking.
information about individual trekking companies or their insurance policies. However, reputable trekking companies in Nepal typically insure their staff for various situations, including medical emergencies and accidents that may occur during treks or expeditions.
When choosing a trekking company or guide for your Everest Base Camp trek or any other adventure in Nepal, it's essential to inquire about their insurance coverage for staff. You can ask the company directly about the types of insurance they provide for their guides, porters, and other staff members. This may include:
Medical Insurance: Coverage for medical expenses in case of illness or injury during treks or expeditions.
Emergency Evacuation Insurance: Insurance that covers the cost of emergency helicopter evacuations or rescues in case of severe altitude sickness, accidents, or other emergencies.
Travel Insurance: Some trekking companies may also require their staff to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, emergency evacuations, and other travel-related risks.
Reputable trekking companies prioritize the safety and well-being of their staff and clients, and they typically take measures to ensure that their staff are adequately insured and prepared for emergencies. When planning your trek, make sure to choose a company with a good reputation, positive reviews, and clear policies regarding staff insurance and safety protocols.
Trekking to Everest Base Camp (EBC) with family and kids is possible, but it requires careful planning, preparation, and consideration of several factors. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Physical Fitness: The trek to Everest Base Camp involves hiking at high altitudes, with the highest point reaching over 5,000 meters (17,600 feet). It requires a good level of physical fitness and acclimatization to altitude. Make sure that everyone in your family, including children, is physically fit and capable of undertaking the trek. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before embarking on the trek, especially for children.
Acclimatization: Altitude sickness is a serious concern during the Everest Base Camp trek. It's important to plan the itinerary in a way that allows for gradual acclimatization to high altitudes. This may involve rest days at certain points along the trek to allow the body to adjust to the decreased oxygen levels.
Appropriate Gear and Clothing: Proper gear and clothing are essential for the Everest Base Camp trek, especially for children. Make sure everyone has suitable hiking boots, warm clothing, rain gear, hats, gloves, and sunglasses. It's also important to pack essential items such as sunscreen, lip balm, and medications.
Trekking with Children: Trekking with children adds an extra level of responsibility and consideration. You'll need to plan shorter trekking days and take breaks as needed. Ensure that children are adequately hydrated and well-rested. It's also important to keep them entertained and motivated during the trek.
Choosing a Responsible Tour Operator: If you're not experienced in trekking or traveling in the Himalayas, it's advisable to go with a reputable tour operator who specializes in family treks to Everest Base Camp. They can provide experienced guides, porters, and support staff who can assist with logistics, safety, and navigation.
Altitude and Health Considerations for Children: Children may be more susceptible to altitude sickness than adults. It's important to monitor their health closely and be prepared to descend if any symptoms of altitude sickness develop. Make sure children stay well-hydrated and eat regular, nutritious meals throughout the trek.
Safety Precautions: Safety should always be a top priority, especially when trekking with children. Stick to designated trails, follow the guidance of your trekking guide, and be prepared for changing weather conditions. Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures and evacuation routes in case of an emergency.
Overall, while trekking to Everest Base Camp with family and kids is possible, it requires careful planning, preparation, and consideration of the unique needs of children. With proper precautions and guidance from experienced professionals, it can be a memorable and rewarding adventure for the whole family.
AdventureNepal Eco Treks :AdventureNepal Eco Treks is a highly rated trekking company based in Kathmandu, Nepal. They offer a variety of trekking packages, including guided treks to Everest Base Camp. Their experienced guides and staff prioritize safety and sustainability while providing personalized service to their clients.
The duration of the Everest Base Camp Trek typically ranges from 12 to 15 days. This timeframe includes both the trek itself and acclimatization days to help trekkers adjust to the high altitude.
Depending on the trekking company and specific itinerary, additional days might be included for further acclimatization or contingencies. Therefore, the total duration can extend up to 16 days or slightly more.
The best time of year to do the Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is during the pre-monsoon (spring) and post-monsoon (autumn) seasons. Specifically:
March: The weather starts to warm up, and the trekking trails become more accessible as winter snows melt. Early March can still be quite cold, especially at higher altitudes.
April: This is one of the most popular months for the EBC trek. The temperatures are moderate, and the rhododendron forests are in full bloom, providing stunning scenery.
May: Temperatures continue to rise, making it comfortable for trekking. By the end of May, the monsoon season is approaching, so early May is preferable.
September: The monsoon rains start to wane, and the skies clear up. Early September can still have some residual rain, but it's generally a good time to start trekking.
October: This is arguably the best month for the EBC trek. The weather is stable, with clear skies and excellent visibility of the mountains. The temperatures are comfortable for trekking.
November: The weather remains clear and dry, with temperatures beginning to drop as winter approaches. It's still a great time to trek, especially in the early part of the month.
Winter (December to February): Trekking is possible, but it can be extremely cold, especially at higher altitudes. The trails are less crowded, but heavy snowfall can make trekking more challenging and even dangerous.
Monsoon (June to August): This is generally not recommended due to heavy rains, which can cause slippery trails, landslides, and poor visibility. The lower regions can be very wet, and there is a higher chance of flight cancellations to and from Lukla due to weather conditions.
The optimal times for the Everest Base Camp Trek are from March to May and September to November, offering the best combination of weather, visibility, and trail conditions.
The maximum altitude reached on the Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is at Kala Patthar, which stands at 5,545 meters (18,192 feet) above sea level. Kala Patthar is a popular vantage point for trekkers because it offers some of the most stunning views of Mount Everest and the surrounding peaks.
The actual Everest Base Camp itself is slightly lower, at an altitude of approximately 5,364 meters (17,598 feet). Although the base camp is the main destination, the trek to Kala Patthar is often included in the itinerary for its unparalleled panoramic views of Everest, especially during sunrise or sunset.
Navigation and Terrain: While the EBC trail is well-trodden and often busy with trekkers, having prior experience with hiking or trekking can help you navigate the terrain more confidently.
Mental Preparedness: Trekking at high altitudes can be mentally challenging due to the physical strain and sometimes harsh weather conditions. Prior trekking experience helps in developing the mental resilience needed.
While you do not need prior trekking experience, being physically fit, mentally prepared, and knowledgeable about high-altitude trekking greatly increases your chances of a successful and enjoyable Everest Base Camp Trek. If you are new to trekking, consider starting with easier treks to build your experience before attempting the EBC Trek.
Yes, there are medical facilities along the Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek route, but their availability and capabilities vary. Here is an overview of what you can expect in terms of medical facilities along the trek:
Lukla Hospital: Basic medical services are available. It's a small hospital capable of handling minor injuries and common illnesses. Serious cases might require evacuation to Kathmandu.
Namche Health Post: Offers more comprehensive medical services compared to other places along the route. It's well-equipped to handle altitude sickness and other common trekking ailments. There are also pharmacies where you can get basic medications.
Hillary Clinic: Located near Khumjung, this clinic provides good medical services, including treatment for altitude sickness. It was established by the Himalayan Trust, founded by Sir Edmund Hillary.
Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA) Clinic: This is a seasonal clinic operated during the peak trekking seasons (spring and autumn). It's well-known for treating trekkers with altitude sickness. The staff here is experienced in handling high-altitude medical issues.
Basic First Aid: Gorak Shep has limited facilities and offers very basic first aid services. For serious conditions, evacuation might be necessary.
Acclimatization: Spend enough time acclimatizing to reduce the risk of altitude sickness. Follow the recommended itinerary and do not rush the ascent.
Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, which helps with acclimatization.
Medications: Carry a personal medical kit with common medications, including those for altitude sickness (e.g., Diamox), pain relief, and gastrointestinal issues.
Evacuation Insurance: It's highly advisable to have travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation. In case of severe illness or injury, helicopter evacuation may be necessary, and costs can be substantial.
While there are medical facilities along the Everest Base Camp Trek route, they vary in terms of capabilities. For serious medical issues, especially related to altitude sickness, evacuation to a larger medical center in Kathmandu might be necessary. Therefore, being prepared, acclimatizing properly, and having comprehensive travel insurance are crucial for a safe trekking experience.
Before embarking on the Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek, it is important to ensure you have the necessary vaccinations and medications to safeguard your health.
It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or a travel medicine specialist at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to discuss your specific health needs and to receive vaccinations. They can provide personalized advice based on your health history and travel itinerary.
Ensure your travel insurance covers high-altitude trekking and includes emergency evacuation. This is crucial for the EBC trek given the remote and high-altitude nature of the trek.
By taking these precautions, you can significantly reduce the risk of health issues during your trek and focus on enjoying the incredible journey to Everest Base Camp.
During the Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek, you can expect a range of accommodations, primarily consisting of teahouses and lodges.

The Everest Base Camp trek spans roughly 130 kilometers (around 80 miles) in total, a journey etched into the very marrow of the Himalayas. It is not merely a distance measured in kilometers, but a pilgrimage traced by footfalls and heartbeats through some of the world’s most majestic landscapes. Every step taken on this path is a story unfolding: from the lush lowlands of Lukla at 2,800 meters, where emerald hills cradle misty mornings, to the austere, high-altitude sanctuary of Everest Base Camp itself at 5,364 meters. Here, the sheer scale of the Khumbu Icefall looms like an eternal sentinel of ice and stone.

Winter brings cold weather at higher elevations but is a great time to visit Nepal for crystal clear skies. Treks in the lower Himalayan foothills are perfect in winter, and so are the jungles of Chitwan and Bardia in the south of Nepal.
Spring is a popular time to go trekking in Nepal, as temperatures climb steadily and the weather tends to be more stable. Trails are more crowded, however, and the skies can be a bit hazy at times. Spring features great festivals, including Holi in March and Nepalese New Year in April.
Summer is the monsoon season and brings hot, humid weather, with most trekking areas seeing cloudy skies and rain. Choose a trek in the “rain shadow” of the Himalaya at this time of year, such as Tiji festival in Middle May to June Upper Mustang or Nar Phu. The Yarthung Horse Festival takes place in June in Manang.
Autumn is the most popular trekking season because the weather is usually stable, temperatures are moderate, and skies tend to be clear. Since the weather conditions are at their best, the crowds are at their peak as well! Autumn is the best trekking season and has the big festivals like Dashain festival is the national festival of Nepalese people and celebrate during ten days. And this festival falls on October and Tihar is the second national festival and celebrate during 5 days and falls on November

Kathmandu to Ramechhap is a new popular among Everest region trekkers. Instead of a direct Kathmandu to Lukla flight, trekkers now have to take a flight from Manthali to Lukla.

Yes, Adventure Nepal Eco Treks arranges the Everest Base Camp Trek. They offer comprehensive packages that include all necessary logistics, experienced guides, accommodation, and support throughout the trek, ensuring a safe and memorable experience for trekkers aiming to reach the iconic base camp of Mount Everest.
Had an incredible time with Adventure Nepal Eco Treks for our Everest Base Camp trek. The owner Devi was very quick to answer all our questions and respond to any of our doubts. Our guide Tilak was knowledgeable, caring and accommodating to all our needs and demands on our trek. He was also very fun and spontaneous and would do anything to liven the atmosphere and make our journey easier - dancing, singing and telling us fun stories. The hidden spots that Tilak brought us to were also very accessible and we admired the gorgeous views of Everest and the accompanying mountains including Ama Dablum. Our fears of any altitude sickness were also unfounded, tilak was very well prepared to ensure we weren’t dehydrated and kept us comfortable with extra blankets in the night.
Over the course of 12 days, we successfully completed the trek with Tilak’s help. We honestly couldn’t have done it without him and would greatly recommend him and the company’s assistance on realising our dream of reaching EBC. Even the climb down was very well taken care of and we felt very comfortable with the pace throughout. We were in very safe hands and I couldn’t be happier about my experience with Adventure Nepal Eco Treks. In Tilak’s words, “we are all adventurers”.

Awe-inspiring and Comfortable Trek to EBC
15th Mar, 2022
This was my husbands and I am second time trekking in Nepal with Kumar and Adventure Nepal Eco Trekking tours and we had an amazing time again!
Our trip would not have been as amazing without the company and guidance of our guide Kumar - he was patient, knowledgeable and spoke very good English. He briefed us every evening and morning on the day’s agenda and expectations and made every effort to make sure we were safe and comfortable at all times! Compared to the other guides we saw on the trek, Kumar went above and beyond and provided excellent service! We tried to do (and accomplished) the impossible - EBC in 9 days as opposed to the typical 12 with acclimatization! Kumar came along for the ride and made sure we paced ourselves well!
We will definitely be back in Nepal and would recommend Kumar and the tour company to anybody who is looking to visit Nepal and trek! Also Nepal Government going to celebrating the visit 2020 from first January 2020 to whole year.
Wonderful time with fantastic and funny Guide Kumar!!!

Everest Base Camp Trek with Guide Ramesh
15th Mar, 2022
My son and I were on a trip organized and managed by Devi. He quickly became a trusted, friendly face and a welcome sight. He was always punctual when meeting us whether it was picking us up from the airport to checking up on us. Each trip we went on, whether it was in Kathmandu, the mountains or the jungle, we were always in good hands (when we needed to be). He is very dedicated to good service. When our flight could not make it to Lukla airport to start our Everest Trek, he did not miss a beat and found us alternative options which we were very happy with.
For the Annapurna Mountain trek our guide was Kumar and our porter was Ramesh. Kumar is an excellent guide. He is friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. He saved me from slipping on rocks on multiple occasions. He showed us trek traditions, taught us some of the language, but most importantly kept the entire trek at a great pace. The trek takes considerable endurance which we could see varies from group to group, in this aspect, Kumar tailored the trek to us. Ramesh, our porter was also a very important part of our experience. His strength is incredible and he marched on, with our very large duffle bag, for 12 days with a genuine smile on his face. Both Kumar and Ramesh opened up about their family, their culture and answered all of our questions.
For our trip to Chitwan National Park, Devi organized reliable transportation and services. On our last day he took us to a very lovely in the city.
We were very satisfied and happy with our experience.

I and my eldest son fulfilled a lifetime ambition by trekking to Mount Everest in April 2019.After a lot of research we signed up with Adventure Nepal Eco Treks and were not disappointed. The company is owned by Devi Baral and from our first contact until the end of our trip our experience was fantastic. Everything was taken care of for us with the minimum of fuss and any query was sorted out quickly and efficiently. Devi had just opened a small hotel in Thamel Kathmandu to facilitate his clients. The hotel was very clean with great food and good showers (a necessary luxury) and very central to all Kathmandu Attractions. Night or day Devi was on hand to help us and even came with me to a cash point that had kept my card. He rang a few numbers, got cross and within an hour i had my card returned. I will review our trip in a further review but I can easily recommend Adventure Nepal Eco Treks to all. We intend to return to this beautiful country again as a way of helping them rebuild after the Earthquake Tragedy I will definitely use Devi and his company and advise anyone thinking of trekking in Nepal to do the same. We were in Nepal from the 3rd - 21st April 2019.

My father and I competed the Everest Base Camp trek last year; we came across Adventure Nepal Eco Treks after doing some research online and were not disappointed. From we arrived in Kathmandu the company was highly professional and attentive. Devi runs a great business. Our guide, Ramesh was excellent. His knowledge of the landscape and his ability to effortlessly assess situations and capabilities helped everything to run smoothly. Ramesh is exceptionally skilled and a genuinely great guy and the same can be said of our porter Chandra. They were a pleasure to spend time with we have remained in contact for the past year getting regular updates about treks and happenings in Nepal. My father and I agree that the trip could not have been any better and we definitely made the correct decision to travel with Adventure Nepal Eco Treks.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Guide Ramesh
15th Mar, 2022
We did the Everest Base camp trek arranged by Devi Baral of Adventure Nepal Eco Treks and had a fantastic experience. The price came in several hundred euros better than any other operator we researched and was truly authentic experience.
We traveled as a couple and had our own guide, Kumar, and our porter, Sheer, who provided us with hours of fun, information and entertainment. Kumar couldn't do enough for us. He spoke English and Spanish fluently, and taught us plenty of Nepali words along the way too. A language course and trek together!
Devi met us at the airport on the way over and was there for us every time we had to move from A to B. He even took us out for a complementary meal on our last evening and asked us for feedback on the whole experience. We would highly recommend Adventure Nepal Eco Treks to anyone thinking of Trekking in Nepal.
Fantastic trip and great value too!

Me and my friend went on a trekking to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar. Both the trekking itself and the organization very absolutely top class. We enjoyed so much the amazing views and the company, help and knowledge of our guide Kishor and porter Sher. If you plan on seeing anything in Nepal, I'm sure Devi and his company will make it unforgettable.
Fantastic experience
15th Mar, 2022
I was the organizer for a small group who spent 17 days trekking to Everest Base Camp and Goyko Lakes. Communications in the organization of the trek could not be faulted and all questions were answered quickly. I was met on arrival at the airport and when in Kathmandu we stayed in the hotel I had chosen and the next day flew to Lukla and began the trek. Our Guide Kumar was excellent and very knowledgeable - it would be difficult to fault his role. Our porters were characters in their own rights and enabled the group; to split on a couple of occasions when it became necessary. The Tea Houses we stayed in were OK as was the food. Nothing was too much trouble for our crew and we were looked after very well.
February Trek to Everest Base Camp and Beyond
15th Mar, 2022
My friend and I came to Kathmandu without contacting any tour guide/operator before hand. Our trip started with getting bumped off our flight to Kathmandu because of the fuel situation at KTM. We showed up at the hotel around 1am without our trekking luggage (shoes, sleeping bag, water bottles, etc.). On top of that, I lost my wallet at the cab while looking for the hotel in Thamel. we had planned 12 days for Khumbu region, but due to the delay of arrival, we had only 11 days and we didn't even have a tour guide. The front desk suggested me to talk with the owner of the hotel about my lost wallet in the morning.
In the morning, I woke up early and worried about the whole situation. I went downstairs and saw a gentleman in suit. I figured he must be the owner. He introduced himself as Devi. I spoke to him about my situation. He made some suggestion about filing a report with the police. Then I asked: " Do you know any trekking company that you would recommend?" He said with a smile: " I do. I own a trekking company. We have good reviews on tripadvisor. We have done many tours." I was skeptical but asked a few questions about cost of guide, porter etc. It sounded like what we had researched. So I spoke with my friend and went to Devi's office together.
Due to the reason mentioned above, we could not do a full guided tour. So Devi worked with our budget and time, helped us to work out an itinerary. The whole process took less than half an hour. Devi was a smart business man, but also a fair one. By 10:30, We came to terms and decided to fly up to Lukla the next day despite the fact that we didn't even have our trekking gear.
After our friend put down a small deposit, we decided to walk around Kathmandu a bit. Devi told us that we would meet our guide in a few hours. We talked about backup plan such as renting gears (shoes, sleeping bags, down jackets etc). Devi took us to the store. We tried out a few things then left to walk around. Later we decided to try our luck and went to the airport to look for our luggage. Fortunately, our duffle bag showed up at the conveyor belt shortly after we got to the baggage claim area. We were in business. We took the cab back to the hotel with lighter mood. Finally things started to work in our favor.
Back to the hotel, we met our guide Arjun then we all went to Devi's office to finalize the trip arrangement, flight to Lukla, payment and discussion of itinerary. Then I mentioned about my lost wallet and my attempt to find the tourist police office in Thamel/Kathmandu. Arjun decided to take me to the tourist police himself. It was the beginning of an important holiday in Nepal. So we went to two local tourist police offices, both were closed. Arjun took me to the headquarter by foot. We walked about half an hour and got to the tourist police headquarter. (I could have never found it by myself) He helped me to explain my situation to the police on duty who did out speak much English, went out to make copy of my passport, which I would not have known where and how and got a receipt for my report and explained to me about the process at the mean time. We returned to the hotel an hour later. (He even paid for my bus fare on our way back).
The next day, we woke up at 5am and got to the airport. Arjun arranged everything and we arrived at Lukla without much events.
The trek started fine and went well till the sixth day, at Dingboche. My friend got ill and could not go further. We decided that he walked down with the porter, and I went on with our guide Arjun. We packed both of our stuffs into one backpack and Arjun said to me: " You don't have to carry anything. Give me your camera bag too." I felt bad that he carried everything and tried to take some share. He was determined to carry the load all by himself so I could walk better. We went on to Lobuche on the sixth day, and went to Gorkasep and went up to Kala Patther to have a view at Mt. , fulfilled the dream that I had 15 years ago (checked that off the top of my bucket list) and returned to Lobuche. The eighth day was my friend's birthday. He was back at Namche. I wanted to celebrate his birthday with him. So we started early from Lobuche. I was tired and walked slower. At Periche, Arjun got me a trekking pole to help me walking.
After Tengboche, I was out of gas and walked very slow. I had a bad left ankle and not surprisingly it swelled up. Every step down the rocky stony steps was a challenge. On top of that, I have acrophobia, since I was a little kid. So walking next to the edge of the mountain 3800m high was not the more pleasant experience. Somehow, we made it back to Namche around 7pm at night., while Arjun carried all the load the whole trip. I was just walking with trekking pole, carrying nothing Arjun had to hold my hand while walking down the steep Namche steps. We celebrated my friend's birthday with a chocolate cake and Arjun and the hotel owner gave him birthday gifts. I wouldn't have made it without the encouragement and assistance of Arjun. I could barely move by the time I reached the hotel.
My friend wanted to go for Lukla the next day and left one day ahead of our schedule. I could understand his situation (being trapped at Namche for three days). So I didn't debate and agreed to leave the next morning, hoping that my legs would recover with one night rest and some ointment applied on my ankle. And I also had a small blister on my right toe.
On the ninth day, we trekked down from Namche to Lukla. It was supposed to be a short trip, 6 hours tops.... but it took us almost 10 hours, because me. I could barely move. Despite the fact that Arjun carried my backpack, my water bottles, my camera and camera bag with two additional lenses, I was dragging my feet. My friend took off shortly after we left Namche. I was using two trekking pole to support and help to walk. Most of the time, while walking down on stone steps, Arjun had to hold my left hand while holding one of my trekking pole, we talked together one step down at a time. At many points on the way, I said to myself: " first kit, I am not going to walk any more. I am going to stay here."
About an hour out of Lukla, it started drizzling, and got dark. Arjun lent me his knockoff head lamp which only illuminated about three feet ahead. The road got slippery and was harder for me because now it was uphill climb. I slipped and fell on my butt a few times. Arjun was there, helped me up, led me on. And I had made it back to Lukla after 10 to 11 hour walking...
I had never expected so much hurdles and difficulties. Somehow, I had done it, a trek that normally takes 12 days, in 9 days. I don't think I could have done it without my guide Arjun. I am glad that I had stayed at Hotel Holiday House, where I had met Devi, who had hired Arjun who had helped me tremendously in realizing my dream of seeing Mt. Everest.
If you are reading this while looking for tour operator in Kathmandu, get Devi Baral You will be in good hands.
Namaste.
A bad situation turned into a great experience, all because of picking the right tour operator

I and my husband did a hiking trip from Everest base camp trek in September 2016. It was very easy to book 12 days Everest base camp trek. We had great views of Everest from Namche bazaar and upper part of the walking trail. The tea house was very simple but neat and clean. A good driver with a modern car took us from Kathmandu airport to hotel and after Everest base camp trek went to Nagarkot over night there because getting relax after trek. Our guide Arjun was a perfectly professional and friendly guide who not only guided us from Everest base camp trek to Nagarkot but also knew a lot of things about the way of life in the area, agriculture, culture etc. With all this knowledge, his positive attitude and a very good level of English we definitely got the best out of this trip. We strongly recommend Adventure Nepal Eco Treks and especially this perfect guide Arjun for anyone who wants to do a short (or longer) hiking trip in Nepal!
An amazing experience with a professional guide

Incredible Experience
15th Mar, 2022
I went with a group of 6 experienced hikers but inexperienced at high altitudes and we were eager but aware of the potential risks. Fortunately our guide Kuma Khadka, who was assigned us through Adventure Nepal Eco Treks, was a fantastic addition to our group. Kumar, our guide, was experienced, thoughtful, and extremely flexible to provide us a safe and exciting trek. We went on the Everest Base Camp and Cho La Pass trek and had an amazing time. Hiking through the Himalayans was a once in a life time adventure, and this company, and especially our guide Kuma Khadka, made it a unforgettable experience that I would love to go again.
So let me break it down how awesome Kuma and Co. is... he made sure every night after dinner we had fresh apples and pears to eat(which makes an amazing dessert when eating trekking food.) It was my 28th birthday while we were trekking and Kuma went out of his way to have a cake made as a total surprise it was fantastic(especially given the fact it was at 16,500 feet). He bought fresh cucumbers and cabbage and made us fresh cucumber salad, I could go on and on...
We were a group that ages ranged from 55-24 and Kuma monitored each person's health and welfare as needed. As other people were sick from altitude exposure, Kuma kept our group healthy energized by knowing how to expose and adjust us to the harsh landscape of the Himalayans.
I honestly cannot say enough about what a fantastic job Kuma Khadka did for our trek. Adventure Nepal Eco Treks did a great job at getting us through Katmandu and into the mountains. Rides were organized to and from the airport, breakfast provided and delicious, and the hotel was fantastic.
If you are thinking of making a trip to the Himalayans for some trekking, you will not regret using this company, and especially Kuma Khadka as a guide. Every person in my group would vouch for them, 100% satisfied.
Everest Base Camp and Cho La Pass Trek
15th Mar, 2022
If you are searching for a tour company in Nepal, your search can stop here! My wife and I visited in February of 2017 and completed the Everest View Trek. Devi was amazing to work with......he was patient, responsive, and incredibly helpful for over 2 years as we communicated back and forth to plan our adventure. The trip was planned out flawlessly. From the pick up at the airport to the trek itself.....everything was taken care of and went very smoothly. Devi's hotel is very nice and is in the heart of Thamel. Thamel is a great place to be with plenty of shops, dining, and sight seeing....most everything is in walking distance! Devi was very welcoming and was there throughout our stay to help with anything that was needed.
Our Everest view trek lasted 6 amazing days and was an adventure of a lifetime. Our guide, Kumar Khadka, was the best guide we could have possibly had. He made the trip even more special then it already was. Our trip started with a flight into Lukla on Goma Air. Devi, booked us on Goma Air which was an excellent choice in airline. For those of you that are nervous about the flight into Lukla, Goma air has new airplanes. We were very thankful that Devi used Goma air....especially when we saw some of the other airlines planes. (this alone would be a compelling reason to go with Nepal Eco Trekking) We felt completely safe during our flights!!!!! Also, do not hesitate to visit Nepal in February. It got a little chilly at night, but during the day we were in t-shirts. There are barely any crowds in February, which meant the flights weren't over booked, we had tea houses to ourselves, and the trails were empty. We had the whole park to ourselves. The skies were blue and we had mind numbing views of the Himalaya.
Kumar was AMAZING through out our trip. We had a ton of fun getting to know Kumar and he was very attentive throughout our entire trip. He showed us the sights, taught us some Nepali, and was always making sure we were comfortable. We saw other trekkers that had "guides" that would basically disappear once they reached their destination for the day. Kumar was attentive to us from the moment we got up to when we turned in for the night. The tea houses that we stayed in were all very nice. There are many teahouses along the trek, but I felt that we always stayed at the nicest ones. Also, Kumar's itinerary for the trek was great! Rather then stay in Phakding for the first night of the trek, we continued on to Benkar....which made the next day quite easier AND Benkar has beautiful views of the Mountains and River....which you don't have in Phakding. The trekking had a lot of ups and downs....but with focus and a good pace, the hiking was always enjoyable and never became strenuous.
Our porter, Mingma Sherpa was also great. Thank you Mingma for helping us with our trek!!! Mingma and Kumar worked together to make sure we had anything we needed in the tea houses and on the trek. They were a great team!
This was a trip of a lifetime that was made even more amazing by an incredible company, guide, and porter. There are thousands of guide companies in Nepal....If you are searching for a tour company.....your best choice will be to use Adventure Nepal Eco Treks (Devi Baral) and Kumar!

Everest base camp Incredible
15th Mar, 2022
I had a truly unforgettable experience trekking to EBC with Nepal Eco Treks. As I was a beginner trekker and also going solo from the UK, I was initially quite nervous! I had learnt about the company via tripadvisor and was not disappointed. It was very easy to contact Mr Devi (the boss) to organise/enquire about the trip via e-mail or whatsapp. Mr Devi always replied promptly and was very helpful.
On arrival in Kathmandu, I was picked up by Ramesh, our patient, kind and funny guide and taken to the hotel. The next day I met with two other ladies from Malaysia who also had the same itinerary as myself and flew into Lukla! The whole trip was very well organised as Ramesh and our two strong and friendly porters (Lukpa and Amkumar) supported all three of us in our journey.
I would definitely recommend this company and will be using this company again on my next trip to Nepal!
Amazing experience - Everest Base Camp
15th Mar, 2022
Devi Baral arranged all of the logistics for us, very painlessly and our allocated guide was Kumar. We struck gold on that score!
From start to finish Kumar made sure that we had the best experience possible. His friendly personality and great sense of humour ensured that we were all in high spirits throughout our trek to Kalar Pathar Everest base camp and High pass trek. He consistently assessed our pace and acclimatization and was able to adjust our itinerary accordingly, we were a quicker than average so put in some epic days!
I would highly recommend booking a trek with Adventure Nepal Eco Treks and if you can, request Kumar. You won't regret it.
Kumar is the man! Everest Bc and High pass Trek

The team at Nepal Eco Treks were the absolute best (Devi the tour manager, Kumar the guide). My sister used this company a few years prior I can can they still have the same professionalism. I went with a good mate and we also had a fantastic porter.
From day one on the trek, Kumar made sure that everything was catered for to ensure our experiences were enjoyable. We even had others commenting and wishing that their guide was as good as Kumar.
Even though plans changed due to weather, Devi and Kumar both took this in their stride and made the changes in a quick, prompt and professional manner.
Kumar and Devis knowledge of English is worldclass which means there isn't anything lost in translation.
These guys made the trip to ensure it was; as comfortable as possible, as friendly as possible and that we enjoyed ourselves which we did.
Take note: If you're quick like us, take some cards as Kumar is really enjoyable to play with.

Thank you to Make Raj our excellent porter who I think beyond his job by assisting when the going got tough.

This was a good choice as Devi responded quickly with excellent detailed answers to all our questions. Then from arrival our guide Kumar and Devi were brilliant. Taxis and travel were all organised well, help with renting equipment etc. From then on we were spoilt by our guide Kumar and Som our porter, both went above and beyond as it was the off season. They cooked washed veg and made us feel so safe and well looked after.
Overall without going into huge detail. The company was great the Guide and Porter were way better than we ever could have imagined.
Thanks Devi, Kumar and Som

Everest Best Camp Trek with Tilak (The best guide ever)
15th Mar, 2022
This trek was truly a life changing experience - right from the start until the very end. Throughout the trip Devi at Adventure Nepal Eco Treks provided us with a first class service which really did make the difference. We (x2) arrived in Kathmandu without a trek booked as the trip was a last minute decision and we felt better deals could be found if we arranged ourselves. However, once in Kathmandu it becomes difficult to distinguish between the good and bad amongst the many operators touting for business.
In the end I opted to go and see three different companies based upon their reviews and suitably for a flexible trip (we had planned to do both circuit 1 and 2). Of the three I can definitely say that the honest and truthful approach provided by Devi made all the difference - he actually advised us against doing the 2nd circuit as it had changed so much...we should have listened to him! He also had lots of other useful information and above all I found him very genuine, which cannot be said for others.
We agreed a fair price for a guide and porter and enjoyed a memorable trek that we were able to undertake at our own pace, which was important to us as first time trekkers. We initially paid for 21 days to do the full circuit but with aching limbs and a face full of car fumes on the 2nd part, we soon decided to cut it short. Devi completely understood and agreed to give us a refund for the days we didn't use. This was really exceptional service and I do not believe any other operator would have done this.
I should also point out that we both fell sick before starting the trek and Devi allowed us to delay starting until we were 100% better, again with no cost.
Overall, I would recommend anybody to do this trek as the experience is unforgettable! With Devi on your side you are able to tailor your requirements to suit needs!
Fantastic!

I went with a group of 6 experienced hikers but inexperienced at high altitudes and we were eager but aware of the potential risks. Fortunately our guide Kumar Khadka, who was assigned us through Adventure Nepal Eco Treks, was a fantastic addition to our group. Kumar, our guide, was experienced, thoughtful, and extremely flexible to provide us a safe and exciting trek.

Devi Baral is a consummate professional guide. His knowledge of Nepal and the Himalaya runs deep. He cares for, and empathizes with his clients so thoroughly, and yet almost effortlessly. He is intelligent, and always willing to share his knowledge with a smile. I can easily say that Devi is one of the best in the business; We are so fortunate to have met and traveled with Devi Baral.

Conocimos la agencia de Devi, despues de buscar infinitas opciones para viajar por Tibet.Despues de muchas vueltas, decidimos elegir Adventure Nepal Eco Treks, por razones de precio, idioma y especialmente por las buenas vibraciones que nos dio.El viaje confirmo nuestras espectativas. Todo a pedir de boca. Guia tibetano, un gran conductor con la cabeza en su sitio y ausencia total de imprevistos durante el trayecto.Muy recommendable, y Devi es una persona amable, atenta y honesta. Te informa de todo sin compromise alguno, con total claridad y es muy atento con el cliente.Volvere, seguro a Nepal, y contactare con el para una nueva experiencia. La de Tibet ha sido inolvidable.JUANJO VILLANUA. MADRID. +34695914983
Devi Gracias por todo,
Cuando descubres que solo es posible conocer Tibet mediante una agencia,tiendes a pensar que sera el tipico tour turistico alejado de la idea que tienes de lo que es conocer un pais y su cultura. Pero he de reconocr que es posible. Devi nos organize un viaje inolvidable, a la par que autentico de 10 dias por el enigmatic Tibet. Todo fue claro y transparente desde el principio, no hubo ningun tipo de gasto extra y el guia tibetano nos dio la oportunidad de conocerla vida mas local y de responder todas nuesras preguntas relacionadas con la ocupacion china. Pocas veces es possible hacer un viaje organizado de una manera autentica. Esta es una de ellas.En conclusion, recomiendo encarecidamente la agencia de Devi, por la transparencia, eficiencia,atencion sin compromiso y, por supuesto, la facilidad de hablar todos los detalles en castellano.Sin duda, una Buena decision.JESUS CAPILLA. MADRID. +34670534728
Muchas gracias Devi!!!
Poco puedo anadir a lo que han contadomis companerossobre las excelencias del trato y la profesionalidad de Deviy sobre lo ameno, divertido e interesante que consiguieronnuestro guia y conductor tibetanos que fuese nuestro viaje.Tras los iniciales recelos de viajar a Tibet por su situacion politica actual, tod quedo olvidado y nos lanzamos gracias a la claridad y honestidad que apreciamos en Devi y su agencia.Como el nos dijo, los guias en Tibet, eran autenticos tibetanosy nos ayudaron a entender tanto el Tibet clasico como de la actual situacion con la ocupacion china. Lo unico que no nos conto, es que nos iban a mostrar a sus propios amigos y sus lugares de entretenimiento, lo que hizola experiencia mucho mas autentica.Ahora nos iremos a hacer un trekking con su agencia. Esta sera otra historia, pero con Devi estamos seguros que tendra un final feliz y mucho bueno que contar.

I couldn’t have done the trek without these guys!!The meals were good. Definitely better than what we expected. Lodges were brilliant with amazing service. It was grand to be welcomed to a lodge after a long day of trekking. Kathmandu Resort Hotel was great. Usually quiet which is nice. The transportation was reliable.

"Thanks to Kubindra Basnet and his excellent professionalism, we have accomplished our trekking trip as per the plan. We would like to express our sincere thankfulness for choosing Kubindra as our guide. Kubindra has been the best guide we could ever dream of having – his organizational skills and knowledge of the region were beyond scolding . He was always polite, honest, and so pleasant. We really enjoyed his company, as well as the Trekking staffs. who were also as pleasant and helpful as Kubindra. Kubindra chose the best porters/assistant as we could imagine of having, and the way he dealt with them was also very nice and we really liked it. It is also worth noting that he paid attention to our health the whole time the trek, and although the fact that three of us got mild altitude sickness, with his advice and timely medication, we all managed to trek in good health and feelings. Kubindra was also paying special attention to our demands, such as the need for decent toilets and accommodation. We are sure that it was not always easy.
All in all, we are all very happy about the trekking trip, we had it was once in a life-time experience for sure. Thank you so much for Adventure Nepal Eco Treks organizing this trip for us!

“Great fun, beautiful scenery and a taste of Nepal culture”
16th Mar, 2022
I was short on time for my stay in Nepal, so I did a four-day trek around the Kathmandu Valley. My guide Kumar khadka and I trekked to Chisapani, then to Nargakot and finally on to Dhulikhel before returning to Kathmandu. The trek gave beautiful views over the valley, of farming terraces and Nepali villages and even took us into Jungle-like area. The trekking wasn't too strenuous and was a great way to start as a not-so-fit first-timer to trekking in Nepal. Not only was the scenery pretty but I met a lot of locals and learned a lot from Kumar about the local way of life. I would recommend to anyone visiting in Nepal who hasn't got a lot of time.
Hoy hemos vuelto a Kadmandu despues de once dias de trekking por el ABC (Campo Base del Annapurna). La verdadque no tengo palabras para expresar lo que he vivido estos dias. Para mi visitor esta ciudad era un sueno de hace anos. Nada mas aterrizar en el aeropuerto, mi Corazon dio un vuelco, y me saltaron las lagrimas. El recibimiento fue genial, Devi estaba esperandonos en el aeropuerto con una gran sonrisa. Este hombre me dio mucha seguridad. Si yo huibiese venido sola me hubiese dado algo en este primer momento.Los tres primeros dias visitamos Khatmandu y alucine con el cambio de cultura y con la sonrisa de toda esta gente, me han llenado cada dia sonriendo. Devi es encantador, le prepare una sorpresa de cumpleanos a Valerio. Cenamos en su casa y estuvimos muy bien atendidos por su mujery su cunada.Esta familia es genial. Ahora que ha terminado el trekking, analizo todo y estoy feliz. Ha sido una experiencia irrepetible y una verdadera aventura: esto es vida, yo quiero vivir aqui. Agradezco mucho el trabajo de nuestro dia: me haencantado como nos ha cuidado, atento a todos los detalles. Gracias Adventure Nepal Eco Treks. Gracias Devi y gracias Prabahit.

I found Devi and his company Adventure Nepal Eco Treks while I was already in Nepal one day as I was emailing countless number of company's expressing my interest to go trekking. Devi's reply was quick, professional and not pushy like I found most other replies to be...also the English was a very good standard compared to most of the other replies. Fm the reply, I had a good vibe and knew this was the right company to go with. I visited him in his office, and a week later I was in a plane flying to Lukla with my dad and our guide Kumar, ready to go to Everest base camp.
Kumar was an amazing guide, very knowledgable of the area and everything around us. At night, we would chat, play cards, have fun and just enjoy each and everyone's company. Along with our porter, they would take care of everything, meaning that the only thing my dad and I had to worry about was ourselves and getting through each day!
I would defiantly recommended Devi to anyone wanting to go trekking as he took care of everything and made everything easy to organise. I know if I ever come back to Nepal I will go back to adventure Nepal eco treks!
