What ourClients Say?
Rural Experience
This the first time in Nepal. As a Hindu guy from India, I want a trek which is adventurous as well as religious and spiritual too. Our hotel’s manager suggests Nepal Everest base camp Trekking company as their services are best. We went to a meeting with the Manager and he was very kind and informative. He provides all the necessary information and we started our trek on 4 April and ended on 22 April. The treks were 15 days with proper rest breaks. The guide was quite funny and informative. Only one word for this trip is “Adventurous” or “Inner peace-giving”. I would like to suggest you Gauri Shankar Himal Trekking to try at least once.
