Gorgeous trip in the heart of Khumbu Valley. We enjoyed a lot the incredible mountains views with the company of our fantastic guide and porter who have made this trip an unforgettable experience.

Review of: Everest Base Camp Trek

he trip has been really amazing. We've been planning it for a long time and we decided on this agency. We got it right. First with Santos, who has been a great host, solving and giving solutions to all our doubts and concerns. And then with Amar, our guide who has become a friend, another companion, keeping an eye on us and recommending us throughout the trip.

This is my second trekking with HST, the trek was fun and very enjoyable.
We had snowfall when we trekked in the Annapurna Sanctuary which was very lucky, since I got to see something different. The view of FishTail mountain at Mardi Himal is also very spectacular.
Bhaktar and his team of assistant guide & porters was very seasoned in guiding us in the mountain. I especially enjoyed listening to the guys playing local music in the guest house Mardi Himal Low Camp.

Firstly, I would like to thank THE FIRST HIMALAYAN (previously known as The Himalayan Scenery Treks & Expedition), from the top mgmt/owner... Mr Ram, Santhos who welcome us at the airport with a flower garland each and most importantly, BHAKTA MAGAR, our guide who ensure our safety, coordinating our trip and arranging all our lodging and food. Another important person, SANDIP MAGAR... our assistant guide / Bhakta's son, a cheerful, smiley, funny and an entertainer that makes me laugh throughout the journey. Lastly, the incredible superhuman... Dambar, Hem and Padam... for carrying our belongings ahead of time. Nothing better than having our rooms and belonging ready after the tiring trek.

This was my very first trip to Nepal and to trek the Majestic Himalayan Mountains. I have known that it will not be an easy peasy climb. At times we were cursing and swearing and asking why we were doing these... but the rewards of seeing the beauty of the Majestic Snow-capped mountains were indeed beyond words.... it was Heavenly!

Initially, we were only planning to do ABC but my seasoned buddies decided to add in Mardi Himal BC within the same period of time... Killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Since it was my first time, I was worried. Fortunately, with Sandip's smiley and cheerful character leading us while Bhakta always at the back making sure we were on the right track as well as keeping an eye on my friend who was having knees ache. Hence, my huffing and puffing, my tension and worries were minimised.

Another issue that I should give a big round of applause and compliments was the way Bhakta, the admin office and the instant approval by Ram for Emergency Evacuation. One of us was having Altitude Sickness upon arriving ABC. A helicopter evacuation was deployed the following morning with no-hassle and not much question asked. If we were to handle it ourselves, all of us will have a major headache and AMS instantly.

As for Food and lodgings, you don't expect to have a luxurious Tea House stay up in the mountains. At times, there ain't any water for brushing your teeth and dirty toilets. I won't blame them as most of the Tea-houses were the same. Having said that, the one in Landruk called HIMALAYAN FRONT GUEST HOUSE was my favourite... big clean room with attached bathroom, free charging, friendly owner and good food with well-manicured garden. On our last day in Kathmandu, RAM's latest baby was indeed luxurious... THE ARUSHI BOUTIQUE HOTEL. My fav was the rooftop bar... best place to chill and unwind overlooking the city. Winding up our trip, a farewell dinner at a typical Nepalese restaurant with traditional music and dance with free flow of traditional rice wine was indeed a memorable end.

Conclusion... if you were to ask me now (not during the trip) if I will come again? Will I do another similar trek? Will I use the First Himalayan again? The answer is definitely a big big YES!

well-organised trek. No hidden agendas or costs. The lead trekker and the porters were wonderful and jolly people. Thank you Himalayan Scenery Treks for organizing this- the team of five all made it there and back in one piece!

Last Year I have done the Manaslu Ciruit Trek with Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition. Trekking in the Manaslu region was the best choice that i have made. During the trek, I realized that being one with the nature helped my forgot all the worries and trouble that i had in my life. I was literally enjoying all the thing this place has to offer. At first i felt like i will not be able to complet the trek, as the trekking includes tedious uphill climbing. However, as i kept climbing and the scenario that awaits has helped me complete the trek without any trouble. The himalayan scenrey treks kept a good care of me and they always guided me to look forward and have the positive attitude. Because of their help i was able to complete the trek without any regrets. My guide Gopal was a friendly and cheerful and always inspired me to walk. Ramkrishna was also always contacted me and asked weather i have any difficulties or problem. This company took such a good care of me and i am very thankful to this company. Choosing them was the best. Thank you, Hoping to see you guys soon.

Trekking with Himalayan Scenery Treks was safe and exhilarating! We were taken to remote villages and sacred sites that on my own I wouldn’t have found. Their joy for sharing there homelands with us was genuine!

My first trip in Nepal was splendid wonderful. Thank you the Himalayan Scenery Trek & Expedition, I would highly recommend it to everyone. I arrived in Nepal with a tight holiday schedule, but… still dreamed of my Upper Mustang trek. They really did excellent job to get everything ready on time. Even though we were in such a peak season, they organized it very quickly and finally turned my dream into reality. My guide Ram Karki was very friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and honest on his duty, taking great care of me and protecting me out of danger and risk since I was travelling alone. Everything was organized perfectly, the trek, the food, the accommodation, and moreover my photography planning too. I met many local people and visited them WE, my guide Karki, my porter Lila, and me, have been as close as family members till the end of travel. 
The trek was for me an unforgettable experience, and… I will remember every step walked through, the unique sights passing by… every piece and drop filled with memories.
