I was pleased with Trek Nepal Himalayas from a price and quality of service standpoint. The trek is a challenge and a responsible and knowledgeable guide is essential for a safe and inclusive trip. I would use them again.
I came to Nepal by myself and applied this tour. I did trekking with one guide, and had one porter. To be honest, before trekking I was a little bit worried to going up the mountain with male guide, but in fact he was so reliable and polite, and helped me so much during trekking.
I had a trouble with my knee on the mountain, so I decided to give up going up to final destination ABC, but despite this accident, my trekking was so nice and I had a perfect time on the mountain. I recommend all travelers this tour! Surely, I will do Annapurna Base Camp Trek next time with Trek Nepal Himalayas.
日本から女一人で参加しました。現地申込でポーターなしガイドのみ。とても信頼できる素敵なガイドさんでした。膝を故障して最後まで登りきれなかったものの、すばらしい体験をしました。おすすめのツアーです。
We recently did a trek with Trek Nepal Himalayas to the Everest Base Camp ! It was a wonderful trek. Our friendly trek leaders Badri Aryal who was informative, thoughtful and communicative and kept our journey safe and organized. Loved the experience and would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to trek in Nepal !
We did the EBC trek end of May 2018, all arranged and managed by Trek Nepal Himalayas. The operator , Mr. Badri, acting personally as chief guide for 14 of us. Most of us are senior citizens, a few had gone down with AMS. But with good care , help and motivation from Badri all of us reached Gorak Shed. His team of assistant guide and porters was of great help to us too. Our SSO2 level and heart beats were checked and monitored at regular basis. Emergency evacuation was well arranged and managed. Airport pickup, transfer, meals ,lodgings and permit documentation etc. were all satisfactory arranged. Deserve a 5 star service quality rating !
