Access Nepal Tour & Trekking

Fantastic company that will give you the experience of a lifetime!
Apr 2023
This is our second time going with Access Nepal, this time for our honeymoon, and it was just as fantastic the second time around. It’s an absolutely lovely company that will handle your trip as professionally as possible, from arriving at the airport to leaving again.

They listen to your needs and wishes, and customize the trip accordingly. We are always incredibly well taken care of by one of the managers, Sadhana, who is a dear friend by now, who always does anything she can to make the trip the absolute best it can be. And we couldn’t have asked for better company or a more trustworthy guide than our guide Giri. The company has very high standards as to how they treat and compensate their staff, and its really visible in the content and pride shown by all of their staff members.

As for the treks they offer, we’ve done both the Everest three high passes and the Manaslu circuit now, and both have been absolutely mind-blowing. There really is no other place in the world like the Himalayas. Every single part; the Jeep ride into the areas, the high roads, the mountain sides, the mountains following your every step; everything is just absolutely amazing. It’s too amazing to describe in words or pictures. I can’t tell you anything but to GO!!! It’s well, well, well worth the time and cost!!

Everest Base Camp with Kala Patthar Trek
Apr 2018 • Solo
I would like to thank very much the excellent trek I undertook with ACCESS NEPAL. I am 52, from UK and was undertaking this journey as a sole traveller, having not done this type of expedition for over 30 years. I did a lot of research of various trekking companies and decided to go with ACCESS NEPAL and undertake their 14 day trek to Everest Base Camp. From my first contact with Sadhana when making initial enquiries I found her to be very open and quick to respond on the numerous occasions I contacted her and no question was too unimportant.
The advice given by her and in their comprehensive itinerary briefing gave me confidence that I was going with a highly reputable company. Their briefing came with very good guidelines as to what to bring. Sadhana is one of the best organisers I have dealt with and she definitely puts her customers first. The arrival experience was good as their representative was waiting for me. All preparations were in hand and we departed on the appointed date. Our guide KUMAR was superb and he guided us extremely well, pacing the trip to our small group’s level of fitness. The outcome of that is we made it to both EBC and up Kala Patthar. We enjoyed superb weather and conditions on route and while busy a couple of nights in a couple of the teahouses it did feel not too crowded on the mountain. We were very fortunate not to have any disruption to our itinerary as we know others did experience and I put a lot of that down to the extensive and efficient organisation by ACCESS NEPAL. The scenery was mind blowing!
Prepare yourself that sleeping in Teahouses can be fairly basic accommodation but you get to meet lots of other like-minded travellers and you share experiences and tips. We were fed very well for all the exertions of walking at altitude and on some days especially on the downward leg, prepare yourself for walking quite long distances. Note if you fly into Lukla you are restricted to 10kgs for your main pack which your porter takes and up to 5kgs in your day pack so you do need to be quite ruthless with what you take on the trek. Leave other non-essential stuff behind at Kathmandu.
I did get a significant infection near the end of the trip and upon returning to Kathmandu our guide KUMAR took me to a local pharmacy and Doctor to get antibiotics. I did unfortunately end up in hospital for a couple of days while the they tackled the infection and Sadhana liaised with the hospital during admission, she spoke to me regularly as to how I was progressing and even came to visit me which I sincerely appreciated. Now that is customer service! I felt I was not left to be sick on my own in a foreign country! One thing I can say is my comprehensive medical insurance meant that there was no issues or hassle as to approving my urgent case for medical intervention and it highlighted to me the importance of having top notch medical insurance – DO NOT skimp in this area!
I recovered in time to return back to the UK on my original return date. I rate this trip as “EXCELLENT, with the help of Sadhana, the best guide in Nepal, KUMAR and the whole ACCESS NEPAL team. I did not see much of Kathmandu unfortunately so there is some unfinished business I still have with Nepal and I would consider looking at other trekking options in the future. One thing I would advise is to make sure you build in at least two extra days as a buffer in case mainly weather conditions or other disruptions strand you in either Kathmandu or Lukla! Best wishes to all the team at ACCESS NEPAL.

Amazing scenes at Annapurna Base Camp
Mar 2018 • Family
Couldn’t recommend Access Nepal anymore! Never I have been on such a well run tour. From the moment we landed at the airport until the day we flew out, the staff at Access Nepal made the trip seamless and made sure we were having the best time possible. The ABC trek provides an amazing week of scenery and culture. Our guide Ganesh had amazing geographical knowledge, made sure we always had the best of the accommodation and was there for our every need, always going the extra mile to make our trip incredible (he even provided us fruit every night after dinner that he picked up and carried himself from Pokhara!). Our porter, Ram, was incredible carrying our (very heavy) bags without a single complaint and made it look easy!! Each night we played games with Ganesh and Ram, something I noticed no other guides or porters were making and effort with and enjoying with their groups! The tour is excellent value for money, we only had to buy a couple of meals the entire trip and were also provided with down sleeping bags and jackets of excellent quality. The accommodation was always clean and very comfortable and the food surpassed all expectations whether you’re after yummy local cuisine or a taste of home with western cuisine, all the lodges/ tea houses had a large menu from which you can pick anything! Sadhana was always prompt to reply to messages and met with us both before and after the trek to make sure our experience was going well. Nepal is a beautiful country with an amazing culture and our experience with Access Nepal trekking Annapurna Base Camp has been one of my favourite overseas trips ever!

Everest Base Camp/Chitwan/City tour
May 2024 • Solo
Very responsible company. He contributed greatly to the success of the trip. From the first contact, always trying to provide the best possible service, excellent hotel chosen with good structure. Great guide, very safe throughout the itinerary. There was bad weather forecast on the itinerary and we had to advance the walk and we managed to get a good view of Everest on the way up Kalapatthar. Perfect itinerary, no surprises!
I did the safari in Chitwan and everything was fine, the resort structure chosen was sensational and the tours were great. Excellent city tour passing through the main attractions of Kathmandu. I highly recommend the company!

My friend and I recently completed the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, and we had a wonderful experience. Access Nepal and our guide Jivan took care of everything, and we felt so lucky to have found them. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Jivan, and Sadhana, Ashok, and Sanjaya were just awesome. Access Nepal is a great company, and I highly recommend them to anyone who plans to trek or tour in Nepal.

Go with Giri!
Karki Raj (AKA Giri) was an amazing guide. He was funny and knowledgeable and took care of us through our arduous trek to Gokyo-ri. I highly recommend booking with him if you can.
The trek itself is incredible. Much less crowded than EBC, Gokyo-ri offers similar altitudes and I’m sure equally breathtaking views (you sure won’t have any breath left at the top, anyway).
The tour at the beginning of the trip is also very interesting and culturally immersive. Though looking back, your time in Kathmandu will not be the highlight of the trip. The trek is just so much better.
All-in-all I think Access Nepal is a good company to go trekking with. They are professional, we stayed in a nice hotel in Nepal and always nice tea houses along the trek. We ate lots of Dal Bhat.
