Our guide Ramesh was extremely good. He was able to understand our needs right from the outset and to adapt the trek to our needs. The services in lodges during the trek was fine .

We were very impressed by the professionalism shown by Adventure Treks Nepal at all levels and we would like to use your services again."

Comments: When planning our trip to Nepal we had the advantage that I had been there before for some 3 months and knew my way through most of Kathmandu, Pokhara and the area in between. Nevertheless I had never been to the everest region and that was just the thing we wanted to see so badly.

It took some time to get our way through the endless list of travel agencies but Mr. Karki from Adventure Treks Nepal was always the first to reply to our mails, he gave very adequate information and did a good follow up. We decided to give him a try.

Afterwards it prooved to be the best decision ever. On arrival we were picked up by Mr Karki himself and got a brief introduction in the hotel. Everything was very clear and the money thing was handled correctly. We got a nice room in centre Thamel. We were introduced to our guide Gyanendra. We could not wait to get on with the trekking.

We've done the Gokyo Trek and Gyanendra has been a marvellous guide from the beginning onward. He knows very much about the region, he speaks english fluently and he is certain to become your friend toward the end of the trek. He is quiet and stays in the background when you are enjoying your rest after a hard day of walking, but whenever needed he is there to help you.

On the way to the top of Gokyo Ri he and Bram gave me that extra push at the time that I almost decided to give up, so I am grateful that he saw to it that we reached the top as a team of 3!

He was always looking for the best accomodation, even when there was no such thing as good accomodation available. ;-)

We had the best time ever during those 10 days and he showed us arround in the most spectacular landscape ever.

After the trekking we were invited to Mr Gyan's house for dinner. It was charming and the food was delicious. It felt good to enjoy the real Nepali life instead of the artificial Thamel atmosphere.

Mr Gyan en Gyanendra are always there to help and to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are really honest people, which are, unfortunately, not always easy to find.

We could not have wished a better travel agency. Top!

They will be recommended to every one of our friends who is planning a trip to Nepal.

And if we should have the luck to go back, they will be the first people to pay a visit to.

Thank you so much for making our trip into a memorable experience!!

Best regards,

Bram and Stephanie.

Comments: We just want to say on behalf of the two of us, what a great trip to Nepal we had all of the arrangements went really smoothly, all the organisation was spot on it was great to see Kathmandu, and we enjoyed seeing the temples with our guide and the main trek with Gyanendra and Porter were brilliant - though hard work of course !

So thank you for everything, and we hope you continue to have this kind of services for future treks like ours.

thanks!!

Comments: The Pick up was Excellent. Gyan was very professional. All the Staffs Included Guide & Porte were very nice. Very impressed with the service of Adventure Treks Nepal. Would recommend friend and associates.

Comments: "Me and two friends took the Everest Base Camp trek on the 6th of June as our summer holidays/jobs didnt allow us to go for the August option. We were a little worried before hand about if the monsoon would be coming in and if we would have any views of everest at all as we had heard conflicting reports about the weather in the begining of June. Anyway, we booked the trip with ease and got lots of interesting and useful information off Adventure Treks Nepal before our arrival. At kathmandu we were promplty picked up at the airport in what must be said as the most amazing 1970's mercedes there ever was and dropped off at our hotel. The next day we were given a great city tour of Kathmandu which served as a great opertunity to meet our guide for the next two weeks, Gyanendra. The tour was great and well planned. The next day we flew out to Lukla after a slight delay at the airport due to bad weather. After we touched down we had amazing views over the entire valley and started our climb to our first overnight stop. The next day was the trek to Namche, now this was tough. Very steep in some parts and a little uncomfortable if the weather is warm but the good thing was that it didnt take too long, it was only a short 3 hour climb. After a rest day in Namche we climbed up to our next acclimatising stop in Dingboche over the next few days. Here we climbed a "hill" on our rest day which was to introduce us to the effects of altitude and to allow us to aclimatise better. This was where i felt the effects of the thinner atmosphere the most. Basically I found it hard to walk more than 10 minutes without having to sit down. I felt sick and had a headache throughout the climb but it was worth it as it then allowed me to climb to out next stop over point, Lobuche, without any diffculty at all. Here we were truley in the mountains, as all around you were peaks of more than 25000ft right next to you. You felt dawarfed amongst them. The weather had also dramatically picked up, the sky was crystal clear and not too cold either (I was walking in a t-shirt most of the time). The next day was a toughy though. We hiked to Gorak Shep then went straight up Kallar Pathar (the highest point we go, 20000ft) for some fantastic views of Everest and the surrounding mountains. The weather was perfect and we couldnt of got luckier. The climb up Kallar Pathar was probably the hardest part of the whole trek though, as even though youve acclimatised its still difficult to get enough air into your lungs to make any worthwhile progress up the mountainside, so your always struggling to push on even though your body is screaming out for a break. Its definatly worth it though as its a view Im never going to forget. I mean im not one of those people who like to "push themselves to the limit", I like my comforts. But the sense of accomplishment on reaching that peak (i say its a peak but its tiny in comparison to the other mountains) is enormous. It was truely such an achievment. After that we went to the base camp itself. It wasnt really what i was expecting. Theres nothing there, not even a sign or something. It was great to get there but If anyone has to make a decision between base camp or Kallar Pathar, perhaps due to weather or illness or something, you should definatly choose Kallar Pathar. Without question. Anyway, that night one of my friends got quite ill with altitude sickness. Thankfully our guide Gyanendre was extreamly helpfull and prescribed some Diamox (they have a plentiful supply up there in the mountains) and some garlic soup, which seemed to do the job nicley. On the way down we decided to save time we would do a massive 30k to take us down to Namche in one day. Which, by the way, on the way up took us 6 days. That was tiring, as its not all downhill, the trail is very mixed with lots of ups and downs throughout. We made it however, all blistered and bruised. But we had our first shower in 9 days which made it all worthwhile! After that it was a short walk to Lukla where we stayed a night in relative comfort (they even have a fake starbucks!) then flew back to Kathmandu where we were treated to a fantastic complimentarry meal by our company with Gyanendre. It truely was an amazing experience which i would recomend to anyone, without a doubt. You dont need to be super fit, im not, and you dont need to be a crazy keen mountaineerer or hiker,im not. It probalbly helps, but its not nesessary. What you do need though is the determination and to have the physical will power to get you up there. Its not easy in some places and things invairably will not go to plan. Youll get sick (on that note, avoid ALL meat during your trip) and youll get grumpy but all of that pales into comparison to the elation youll feel when you finally make it, and you will make it. It will be fantastic and sometrhing which you'll never, ever forget.

Hats off to everybody who made our trip so special, especially to our guide Gyanendre who was simply amazing. Great fun and always smiling. All the best and enjoy your trip."
