Best tour company! - Bhagwat was the tour organiser. He replies instantly and always super helpful. Our guide was Nima. Highly recommend Nima! We had some medical issues and Nima helped us for hours at the doctors. Also amazing throughout the entire trip. Would definitely use these guys again.

Best tour company EVER! - It has been my dream to see Mt Everest since I was a young boy reading National Geographic. 50 years later and the dream was finally coming true. Because this was such a monumental experience my expectations were very high. Let me tell you that experience itself couldn’t have been more perfect for my wife and I. Scenery aside it was the professionalism and attention to detail from company owner Bhagwat and his employees that shone above all. There isn’t enough room here to go over all the questions he answered for us and all the details he organized. He booked us a couple other great excursions as well and we just showed up. Every part of our 3 weeks in Nepal was perfect! Our guide and Porter for the trek were unbelievably awesome people and absolutely made the experience that much greater. We have fallen in love with Nepal and can’t wait to return. Do yourself a favour if you are thinking of going please do it. The experience will impact you in the most positive way possible! We all need to be more like the wonderful people of Nepal. Namaste 🙏

Amazing Company - Bhagvat and Prakash made our experience memorable and enjoyable. The company/team did a fantastic job taking all safety measures in account every day and every night. EBC is definitely one of my best treks and I thank Himalayan Adventures for making this journey epic. Highly recommend.

wonderful trip - We purchased vouchers during the heigth of covid at a discount. You would never know that, we were treated as if we paid a premium for the EBC trek. Bharot (guide) took super care of us all but one small instance. He allowed parking lot porters to grab our bags which required a large tip or they would starting making a fuss. Otherwise, it was like my mother watching over us. Both he and Bhagwat (owner) have a real love for what they do. It shows in the way they make every effort to make our stay as safe and pleasant as possible. We had a change of plans on the way down and Bhagwat made all the connections required to make it happen. There were some issues with the teahouses due to massive amounts of people on the trek, not enough rooms for the number of trekkers.

Amazing bucket list trip! - This was a bucket list trip and everything about the tripnwas amazing. Our guides, Prakash and Urken, adapted to our group's needs, helped us feel comfortable and shared a lot of great knowledge so we could participate in the culture of Nepal along the trek. I can't imagine this trip without the support of our guides and porters. They all were attentive and helpful and professional throughout. Our time in Kathmandu was also fun and we had a lot of opportunities to see Bhagwat, which felt like having a personal concierge for all of our questions. I have already recommended this company to friends and coworkers.

Great Trek, Excellent Outfitter - The trek was fantastic. I've never experienced mountains like this before. There was plenty of time for photography and interaction with other trekkers. Each day on the trek, at the end of the day, if somehow the trek had had to end, I would have left happy. We were a family group of 6 with varying hiking speeds, and were combined with 2 people from India for the trek. Through careful selection of guide and assistant guide, Himalayan Adventure Treks was able to accommodate all languages and hiking speeds. The head guide was attentive, flexible, and good at solving any problem. Compared to guides we saw for other groups, he was especially good. We were shuttled effortlessly from and to the airport all the many times required upon arrival of multiple subsets of participants, for the trek itself, and then for departure home. Their office is near the hotel, and Himalayan Adventure Treks regularly checked in to make sure we were happy with how everything was going before and after the trek. We ended up having a couple of people helicoptered out (not emergencies) from the last town near EBC, and Himalayan Adventure Treks effortlessly coordinated all the complicated logistics associated with that. Very highly recommended, both as a trek to do, and as an outfitter.

Highly recommended trek and organising company! - The EBC trek is an aspirational one for many including myself. I would like to thank the team of Himalayan Adventure - proprietor Mr. Bhagwat Simkhada, main guide Mr. Prakash Adhikari, assistant guide Mr. Urken Sherpa and the whole team of porters - for helping me achieve this dream. They are amazing people to trek with. Never lost sight of me for a moment during the entire trek and went to great lengths to ensure that even a novice trekker like me was able to enjoy the trek completely. The team is so professional no one will ever realise the amount of back-breaking hard work that goes on behind the scenes. I saw many groups consisting of members with different trekking pace but only one guide, which meant that invariably the novice trekkers were left to fend for themselves at the back-end every day. Team Himalayan Adventure will never do that to you, whatever be the circumstances. You can trust them 1000% and that is why I will not hesitate to do more treks with them in the future. They are also very good with pointing out the local customs, points of interest and good practices on trek wrt diet/nutrition and overall well-being. As for the EBC trek itself, words cannot do it justice. Ignore all the negative comments from certain quarters about how crowded or commercialized it is. Come and experience it. Your experience is your own and cannot be dictated by others (many of whom may have never done it)! It's a hallmark trek and with good reason. Despite being the busiest of seasons I was lucky to have experienced hours and hours of solitude during the trek as well as serendipitous company almost on tap. That's the beauty of this long trek replete with a full gamut of scenes to enjoy. Everyone who is on the trek - irrespective of nationality or culture or religion or whatever - is only positive and encouraging, spurring you on to finish it well. Commercial and crowded it may be construed as, but I didn't find a single individual who wasn't positive or excited to be there irrespective of their underlying health condition, and pushing themselves safely to finish it (there were many on it who would normally have been considered as "unfit" for an endeavour like this). Be there to witness possibly the best of humanity. And let it bite that latent bug in you that will no doubt see you undertake more treks in the beautiful country of Nepal.

Everest Base Camp Trek - Everything was so smoothly organized, in a timely and friendly manner. The owner really takes care of his clients and works hard to resolve any issues. The trek was beautiful, food and accommodations were great. We even had time to do the Amadablam base camp trek- the guide was wonderful. As a solo female traveler, I would highly recommend this team. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
