Client Reviews

The Everest Base Camp Trek has been on my list since I was in High School. I'm currently 51 years old. My father did this trek in 1972, before the Khumbu region was the popular tourist destination it is today. So, I've had lots of pictures to look at over the years. I found Nepal Trekking Experts in 2020, when I did some research & almost booked the trip then, but the person I was going with, backed out.
Fast forward to February 2023, my current GF said she was in. So, we booked very early in 2023 for the last 2 weeks in October 2023. Booking early is beneficial since Rajesh, the company owner, can book the earliest flights to & from Lukla & get the best teahouse rooms (if you opt for an attached bathroom).
Communication prior to the trip was excellent & Rajesh answered all of my questions & informed me of stuff I didn't know about. So, when we arrived in Kathmandu, we knew the procedure & where to meet our contact Rabin, at the airport. We checked into our hotel, settled in & met up with Rajesh later & he told us about the trek & made sure we had all the proper gear. We brought all our own gear, so we didn't need to rent any equipment. They did supply a duffel bag for each of us that our porter Bijaya carried. Our guide Prakash was excellent. He spoke very good English too. Very knowledgeable & kind. He tended to our every needs & then some! He was great at the teahouses & was on top of all our meals & whatever else we needed. He told us about the regions we were in, mountain names and any other relevant information. Since it was just the 2 of us, we hiked at our own pace & Prakash looked after both of us. Bijaya our porter usually went on ahead & checked us into our room. So, when we arrived at our destination, we were all set. The trek itself is beautiful every step of the way, but you have to put in the work to get to the next stop. The hills are steep, but if you take your time, they are manageable. We had extra days in Namche & Dingboche to acclimatize. By the time we made it to Gorak Shep, I was feeling great, but my GF was having symptoms from the altitude. Her pulse ox was low & not much energy. She told me to go to base camp & come back. Prakash stayed with her & Bijaya & I went to base camp. I made it to base camp finally & was thrilled to finally make it there after all these years!! The weather for this day & the rest of the trip was perfect. The mountains wanted to be seen, especially Ama Dablam. Such a beautiful mountain. It dominates the trek for several days. We ended up having to take a helicopter down but could only get one the next morning leaving out of Lobuche. Prakash arranged 2 horses to take us back down from Gorak Shep. So, we crossed the Khumbu Glacier in the dark on horseback. That was an experience & something we never imagined doing! Prakash & Rajesh had managed to arrange the helicopter rides for the next day.
We made it back to Kathmandu & all was well. We had Rajesh book us the rest of the trip at the Ramada Encore (very nice luxury) & we spent the rest of our trip exploring the different areas of Kathmandu. The trip was excellent & if we come back to do some more trekking, we will book with Nepal Trekking Experts again!!

I would highly recommend Rajesh and the Nepal trekking experts team to anyone looking for an outstanding, worry free, and fun adventure to the Himalayas.

From the pre-trip email inquiries, airport pickup, hotels in kathmandu, detailed packing list, walk through of the trek, and general support in kathmandu Rajesh was incredible. He is responsive, detailed, and extremely helpful no matter what your question is and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in the success of the treks and happiness of the clients. Whenever you come to visit he’s always, smiling, supportive, and gives you his full attention (while also offering you a drink)!

On the trek Lok and Santos were incredible guides who did an exceptional job of gauging the group capability and adjusting the itinerary accordingly. The entire trip was expertly managed, stress free, and allowed us (the clients) to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Himalayan mountains while the guides managed all of the logistics. I personally did the Manaslu + Tsum valley trek which was incredible and the Tsum valley is definitely a hidden gem of trekking in the Himalayas.

I would highly recommend Nepal trekking experts to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal and will definitely use them when I come back!

Thanks so much to Rajesh, Lok, and the nepal trekking experts team for an incredible experience!

Ps. I can’t stress enough how easy Rajesh makes planning a trek to Nepal.

I had done lots of research on trekking companies in Nepal as I was keen to use a local trekking agency. I decided on reaching out to Rajesh at Nepal Trekking Experts because of the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. Rajesh was quick to respond to all of my queries and made me feel I was going to be trekking with a very reputable company that didn't cut corners. From start to finish, it couldn't have been easier.
We did the Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit trek. I am so glad we decided to add on the Tsum Valley, as this was a real highlight. The culture within the Valley was as amazing as the views. When we moved onto the Manaslu, the views just got better and better by day. We were lucky enough to be in Lho when they had a 3 day festival, which was a real added bonus. We did the trek to Pungen Gompa from Shyalla and walked out to Samagaun. This was a real highlight and definitely worth doing. We also did the Manaslu Base Camp, which is a real uphill trek to reach, but it is really worth it if you have good weather. The accomodation and food were great along the way, the only one which was extremely basic was Dharamsala before going over the pass but that is all that is there. The pass itself, if you have done the Base Camp is not a difficult walk but we definitely needed our crampets near the top and coming out of the snowline.

With regards to our Guide Look, he was absolutely amazing and looked after us every step of the way. Our main porter Santos not only carried our gear but also looked after us sorting out our food and drink orders every day. They were also extremely good fun. Ramesh, our other porter was as strong as, and we always had our rooms and gear at the accomdation when we arrived.

Look, took care of everyone, including making sure one of the group was taken safely by helicopter off the mountain because of altitude.

I can't rate the company, the guide, and porters highly enough. 10/10 and would have no hesitation in recommending you use the company.

This summer began our search for a trek and trekking agency to hike in October, in Nepal. Nepal trekking experts was recommended to us by a friend who was very satisfied with the organization and experience of his trek. From the first emails with Rajesh, who runs Nepal trekking experts, we had a very good feeling. Rajesh was very quick and professional in answering our questions and went straight to work on our personal requirements. Other agencies were more insistent or did not give concrete answers. Rajesh recommended the breathtaking Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake Trek and paired us with a fantastic guide, Rajan, and porter, Ram. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, Rajesh had taken care of everything: we were picked up at the airport and taken to a very good hotel, Rajesh came to pick us up the next day to go through all the details of the trek in his office, and even in the evening, he invited us for a nice meal with another Belgian couple. After all, we would be spending the first few days of the trek with the other couple and Rajesh had introduced us to them over dinner. It was a very nice evening and it immediately clicked between the four of us, so we had a very nice start to the trek and continued to travel together after the trek.

Rajan was so much more than what we expected from a guide, he has tremendous expertise as a guide and is extremely competent. He always made sure we had a great time everywhere we went, was very good at judging how we were feeling or what we needed when we were having a hard time, told wise and beautiful stories, taught us a bit of Nepali, had a lot of knowledge about the places and nature we were trekking through, supported us in more technical parts of the trek and liked to keep us company in the evening with a game of dumball or yahtzee. We felt very comfortable with Rajan and couldn't imagine a better travel companion afterwards! Ram, the porter, was also a very fine companion. He was always ready to help where needed and spoke enough English to exchange stories, personal trivia and jokes. The whole trek felt very personal with Rajan and Ram, they truly made our experience an unforgettable one that we will be able to look back on for a long time to come. We are very grateful to Nepal Trekking Experts for managing the trek and recommend the agency and its team one hundred percent!

First-Don't hesitate in booking with Nepal Trekking Company --Just do it!!

We researched many other companies prior to choosing and found this was the best option for us.

The accommodation was great and better than I expected-to the food and customer service.

I had such an incredible experience with them throughout our journey from the moment we began to the moment it ended. I went with my now fiance and brother to accomplish one of my dreams that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. I had done other treks before and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro two years ago-I wanted something a bit more challenging and longer so we decided to go with EBC route along with 2 passes.

Rajesh was super helpful with helping us tailor our trek to what we wanted since we added extra and he was time sensitive to all the questions we had prior to arriving. When we were greeted by him he walked with us to help us find our extra trekking gear that we were in need of.

Along the trek our guides name was Dinesh. He was very accommodating
along the way. He was very kind, knowledgeable, and had a funny sense of humor-always laughing with us along the way. I and we felt very safe with him guiding us. He checked our vitals everynight and frequently checked in on us. On one of our acclimatization days I was slower than the rest of my group coming down due to having sensitive knees from a previous surgery and I was recovering from some injured toenails and feet from training in which going downhill I had to go slower--Dinesh walked with me patiently behind and I was so grateful for his patience. He even took us to his favorite momo place one day for lunch-we ate the best momos I've had and they were unlimited! It was great to get to know him on a personal level and he will always be a friend.

The night prior to ascending Base camp my brother got really ill throughout the night-vomiting and among other things. He still wanted to make Base camp that morning because it was our big day despite having no energy and was becoming dehdyrated. The team was so patience, loving, and kind the entire day. Our porters--Chandra and Machhindra came with us that day even though they didn't have to since we were staying at the same location that night. They patiently walked behind my brother checking in and carried our daypacks. They were more than accommodating and very kind.

We all made basecamp and my brother continued to get even more ill after we finally returned to our camp for the night and it was decided that next morning that he would leave..the altitude wasn't helping him and he needed to get down. Chandra, Macchindra, and Denish helped out that next morning and we got him out of there. It was amazing how fast Denish and Rajesh coordinated it all. Really the entire trip.

That same night we continued to head to our pass (it was raining all day) and once we arrived Denish got wifi so that we could check in on my brother and he continued to coordinate with Rajesh. That night I ended up getting ill with a horrible headache and I woke up weak with no energy--I made the choice to come down and not continue with the pass. Again Denish and Rajesh were at it again and coordinated it all so fast.

Chandra and Macchindra did such a great job carrying our load. I felt ashamed that we had brought so much stuff. When I climbed Kilimanjaro you didn't have shops to by food and other items and I overpacked. I kept apologizing to them and checking in on them..and yet they were always grateful, smiling and in good spirits. They were truly so sweet.

Once we got back to Kathmandu Rajesh had everything organized and helped us plan and even cover some of the cost for the rest of the week we had in Kathmandu. He even came to visit me in the hospital. That truly is customer service and even more than that.

I feel each experience when you take off for an adventure is going to be different. This is one I will never forget. There were some hiccups coming down and not finishing the pass but we made what we set out to do and made it to Base Camp. I have no regrets and only acceptance towards the experience. I'm grateful for it all.

I and we will use Nepal Trekking Experts again for our next trek a they have many options. Nepal is such a special place in my heart and I keep coming back because of the people. Additionally, I have some lifetime friends. Thank you again to Rajesh and please ask for Dinesh as your guide along with Chandra (whom is also a guide) and Machhindra. <3

The entire trip with Nepal Trekking Experts was a 12/10!
This was our second visit to Nepal. After completing the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Rajesh and his team in 2019, we came back to discover the Everest region in October 2023 and - as expected - it was absolutely stunning again!

The entire booking process as well as the pre departure communication with Rajesh is completely hustle free. He keeps in touch with you via email and/or WhatsApp and is happy to answer all your questions plus he is giving useful tips when coming to Nepal for the first time.

After our arrival in Kathmandu we did receive a warm welcome at the airport and were taken very good care of.

The trek itself with our amazing guide Thakur - who already accompanied us back in 2019 - was truly memorable. Besides being a really funny travel companion, Thakur managed to secure really nice rooms for us in most of the tea houses and taught us a lot of new, interesting things about local culture, food, nature and wildlife in the region.

I can only recommend to book your adventure with this company! Great support, great people and a guaranteed unique experience.
But beware, once you visit Nepal once you run a high risk of wanting to come back really soon :)

We loved every minute of this trek!
It was perfect choice to start first Himalayas experience in this area!
The communication with Rajesh was so easy, he is very patient and honest to ensure that his clients get the best possible experience.

We have been supported by very knowledgable and local guide Binod and porter Gokhul, both very caring and attentive!
We had impression that we always got the best rooms to keep us happy!
We never had any problems or issues during the trek.
Except that I got sick when descending from Larke Pass.
My guide took me to the hospital where I got immediate help and my health improved!

We could truly enjoy the beauty of the region and absorb the culture!
It was amazing simply to watch the stars during the night and wake up early to admire gorgeous Manaslu!

Me and my partner will be back in 2025 and will contact Nepal Trekking Experts to support us with next trekking destination!

We love it
See you again!

As we decided to do a trekking in Nepal it was not easy for us to find the right trek. The offer in internet is big but the information is not always very clear. Bei the Nepal Trekking Experts Website we were able to gain a good overview of the different Nepal trekkings and we choosed the ABC Trek.
With the choice of the agency and of the trek we hit the bullseye.

Rajesh is very professional, he organised everything for us and made us feel confortable and in good hands from the first moment we arrived in Kathmandu.
The hotels both in Kathmandu and Pokhara had a good standard, were cosy, clean and had a really good athmosphere.

Arjun our guide was very experienced and professional. Everything during the trek run smoothly. Honestly speaking I was a bit worried as tihs was our first trek in Nepal and I did not really know what to expect exactly
Thanks to Arjun I felt save and at ease all the time and I could enjoy every single day of the trek. Both Arjun and Ram, our porter, were always there to help us whenever needed.

We highly reccomend Nepal Trekking Experts
for their professionality, their perfect organisaton and for their talent to make you feel among friends.
