Lena,
Comments: Hello!
At last writing to you with some remarks on our journey this October. With some distance we still have our memories of it vivid in our minds.
Although we came in a troublesome time with the blockade causing unreliable transpors and the country still recovering from the earthquake we had a very good time and an interesting trip without ever worrying about practicalities. We felt very well looked after by you and all of your staff.
We think it was good that we were a small group (4 persons) and that our trek was varied with different terrain and views. We like that we both walked among people's everyday life in villages and a bit higher in the mountains with other kind of views of nature.
Some favourite stops; Astam Eco Village, where it would be nice to have stayed and maybe take part in their program. We were impressed by Lower Camp that was very clean and well kept. Hopefully the new place on High Camp will help raise the standard over there. Louang on the way down was a very nice alternative to the original plan. You should consider making that route the first choice.
Something you could make even better is the information before, especially to first time visitors. The fact that how much and what you will see is not all about altitude, sometimes you get better views from lower ones. The low standard of some of the lodgings was also unexpected. It's important to avoid misunderstandings. We expected to trek higher and Gunilla and Maria could have done so. All of our group would have liked to spend more time walking per day. Perhaps it's better to ask future customers about how many hours per day they wish to walk instead of only asking about what degree of difficulty they think they can manage.
We had a terrific trek in spite of mixed weather conditions, much thanks to Bowan, Kushal and Khit. We got more than help with finding our way and transportation of our stuff. We learned about the nature, the places we passed and how life is led there even all the way into the kitchens to see how the food is cooked. We appreciate that we could talk about many things.
The selection of spots to see in Kathmandu was nice. We appreciated the guiding from Bowan and his help to check up the messy times of flights.
Hoping you and your team are all well with things working out for you, and that you can have some use of our comments!
Until the next time, many best wishes!

Comments: I was incredibly please by the multitude of details Gyan Karki (owner of Adventure Treks) covered for this trek. He personally greeted us at the airport, arranged lodging and assigned a responsible, capable, and attentive guide and porter, always a joy to be with for our 18-day trek. The guide spoke English well, quickly immersed us into the culture and knew most of the names of the mountains, fauna, and flora. Our trek was hugely enriched by the local knowledge of our guide and porter.
Gyan met us at the airport, introduced us to our guide and porter, arranged transportation and lodging to and from the trailhead plus an excursion to one of the National Parks and personally returned us to the airport at the end of the trek.

Comments: Mr. Gyan Karki with Adventure Treks Nepal provided excellent service:
personal welcome and pick-up at airport with designated driver clear outline of trek, expectations
provided experienced and friendly staff for trekking (and duffel bag + T-shirt).
By the way: Please, do NOT overload your porter. A porter carries the duffelbags for 2 trekkers.
If unsure how much to tip porter and/or guide, check for online advice, or better yet, ask Gyan.

Comments: We decided to use Adventure Treks Nepal for our trek to Everest Base Camp after reading positive reviews. Our communication prior to our trip was with Gyan, mostly through emails. After several emails back and forth, we wired our deposit money and crossed our fingers that this company really existed. Prior to our trip, we had to change some of our plans and contacted Gyan with some alternatives. Gyan responded with suggested changes to our itinerary almost immediately.
When we arrived at the airport in Kathmandu with our delayed flight, Gyan and our driver were waiting and found us right away. Gyan took care of all aspects of our trip, made sure everything went smoothly, confirmed our stay while in Kathmandu before our trip and went over and above the service that was to be expected.
While on our trip, we came to understand how important it is to go with a reputable company. With another group through Adventure Treks Nepal, they were in need of medical assistance. Gyan was there to coordinate their helicopter evac while assisting us in speeding up our climb as the weather was to start to turn.
We completed our trip to base camp early because we wanted to beat an approaching storm. Our guide assisted us and recommended a plan to achieve this.
We had beautiful weather until our return into Lukla. Because we finished ahead of schedule, we had extra time. We decided on a trip to India. Again, Gyan helped us to plan this trip.
The service of Adventure Treks Nepal is over and above ones expectations. We felt as though we were their only clients.
Adventure Treks Nepal is a service-oriented company that can be trusted to provide great service, great guides, great porters and a great driver. The company is very reliable and accommodating to ones needs. Gyan's communication and quick responses to emails assures confidence and trust.
We had requested a few extras during our trip and Adventure Treks Nepal delivered on every one of them.
We will be returning to Nepal and will definitely use Adventure Treks Nepal again to help us with our visit.

Comments: I highly recommend Adventure Treks to everyone! Gyan (owner) was great to communicate with before we got to Nepal and he even met us at Tribhuvan airport. My partner and I trekked the Mardi Himal with guide Bhuwan and porter Khil. The trek was wonderful and quiet as we only saw 4 other tourists along the 6 day walk. We were grateful to visit tea houses along the way and we quickly realised that tea and biscuits make the day's problems disappear! Tea houses offered delicious meals, were warm and dry, and equipped with basic facilities.
We enjoyed the stories that our guide told us and the local knowledge he shared. Both Bhuwan and Khil always looked out for us - from bringing our boots inside at night (when we forgot)... to holding my hand while walking across a waterfall... to suggesting food we should avoid while walking... and many more situations that we relied on them! We filled our afternoons/evenings with playing cards which was so much fun.
I injured my leg on day 3 of 6 and we discussed options of what to do next. The itinerary was flexible and we ended up finishing the trek a little earlier than expected - Both Bhuwan and Khil were very supportive. My partner and I were very sorry to say goodbye but we look forward to reaching out to Adventure Treks should we visit again.
