Trip of a lifetime from Access Nepal! Extra touches by Guide Devman Tamang!
Oct 2017 • Friends
Just got back a week ago from our trek to Everest Base Camp with Access Nepal. This was the best adventure in my life and will be burned deep into my memory for long. Thank you to Access Nepal! Thank you Sadhana Adhikari for ensuring all of our questions were answered about logistics, gear, food, water and warning us how to avoid problems. And what can I say to Devman Tamang other than thank you for the experience.

Yes, the Himalayas are truly amazing scenery and the Nepal trekking experience is a beautiful cultural expedition for anyone who goes, but it was so much more than that. Devman was our companion, advisor and friend from the day before we left Kathmandu until after we returned 2 weeks later. He quietly and calmly goes about ensuring every little detail is in place to make your trip better. And when things out of our control went wrong (like flight delays) he knows exactly what to do but never, ever stops smiling or staying chill. Being with him just puts you at ease and within a couple of days my companions and I truly felt that we had an unfair advantage over all other trekkers.

The “Devman Advantage” really never ends. Ensuring we were fed first whenever we liked, advising us how to beat altitude sickness, avoiding unnecessary lineups, knowing when and how to pass yak trains – these were the things that saved us time and trouble. You can see how Devman is known and respected by many of the locals and other guides and he did his best to provide us with certain benefits while having a positive impact on everyone we met. His specialty seemed to be making sure we had the most amazing views at every possible opportunity. He knows exactly when to get up early, when not to bother, and when to go for the summit of a local viewpoint to beat the crowds and the clouds. But beyond this I feel honored that Devman chose to share and explain the Buddhist culture and beliefs that alone would make this region of Nepal worth visiting. As he explained, we did our best follow all the proper rituals and customs to ensure we always had good karma. At sites like the Tengboche Monastery, Devman showed us how to enjoy the monk’s chanting ceremony with the proper respect that all westerners should learn. Life changing experiences here, and Devman was always ready to share them with us.

I also want to give a big thank you to our porters Hom and Abishek. Porters in Nepal perform a critical, often thankless job and without them we probably wouldn’t have been smiling nearly so much in our photos. Before working as a guide, Devman grew up in a small Nepali village started out as a porter himself, and he clearly understands the difficulties and rewards of this career choice. Much respect to the porters!!!

There’s not much else I can say. A truly successful trip made even better by our guide Devman. It was very hard to say goodbye to you, brother! You are welcome in Canada any time!! When I come back to Nepal I’m bringing more friends and asking Devman to be our guide, friend and travel companion. My friends will thank me for it.

Access Nepal – professional and experienced
Nov 2023 • Couples
Access Nepal was fantastic for our back-to-back Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit/Base Camp treks in Dec 2023-Jan 2024.

Sadhana’s warmth, thoroughness, professionalism and flexibility in organising our trip gave us plenty of confidence and met all of our needs prefectly.

Our guide Devman’s 18 years guiding experience, and superman porter Netra ensured we had two successful and highly enjoyable treks.

We really appreciated Devman’s knowledge and kind advice on diet, altitude acclimatisation, what things to avoid, and great suggestions when we had some challenges. While some groups didn’t make it all the way to Everest Base Camp, we succeeded in completing both trips and had a great time. A large part of this was due to our guide and porter, both very dependable and great people.

My wife and I highly recommend this company and we would definitely travel with them again.

EBC trek
Jul 2017 • Friends
A couple friends and I wanted to do the EBC trail and we got recommended by a friend to go through Access Nepal. I have no regrets going through them. We showed up at the airport and everything was taken care of. We got picked up and driven to a wonderful hotel in Thamel called Blue Horizon. I would recommend staying in the Thamel district. It’s the tourist area and a decently clean area in the city. Also it is central so it’s easy to get around. Sadhana is very nice and a great person to deal with. The best part of our trek was our guide and porters. They were amazing!!!!! Extremely informative and took really good care of us! They brought fruit for us every night and cookies for a snack (most don’t provide this to my knowledge). They always were asking about our health and how we were feeling. If you go on this trek as for Dipendra. Best part of the experience besides the views. He was wonderful to be around and so knowledgeable about the mountains and altitude sickness. Out of the group we hiked up we were the only ones to not get any symptoms of altitude sickness and I completely believe it is because we followed what Dipenrda told. He is the best guide in Nepal!!!! Can’t recommend him enough!! We also stayed a couple extra days and Access Nepal was happy to book a hotel for us and recommend activities.

Brilliant EBC Trek with Ganesh
May 2018 • Friends
Just completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal and the service was absolutely brilliant. Sadhana sorted everything our for us in advance and was always extreamly quick to respond and very helpful and accommodating.

Our guide Ganesh absolutely made the trip. He was incredibly helpful and extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of the many questions we had! Lovely to chat to and always in a good mood, he made sure that we were well taken care of throughout the entire trip and was very helpful when we suffered from a bit of altitude sickness. He always went above and beyond for us and even arranged a surprise birthday cake for me at base camp which was incredible! Couldn’t thank him enough for making it such a special trip. Our porter Kamal was also great and very friendly!

All of the tea houses we stayed in were very comfortable and had great food. I would highly recommend Access Nepal and will be using them and Ganesh when we come back for another trip!
