Access Nepal Tour & Trekking

Awesome trek and wedding
Oct 2024 • Couples
This was a life-changing experience. It began with an incredible trek, where our guide Puru took great care of us, ensuring our safety and providing valuable insights along the way. On the final day, we shared a beautiful ring ceremony amidst the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas. When Laura and I returned to Kathmandu, Sadhana and the team at Access Nepal organized a wedding that was beyond our dreams. They thought of every detail, making the day truly special and unforgettable.

For anyone looking to trek and have an exceptionally unique experience, I highly recommend this journey.

Annapurna Base Camp Express
Oct 2018 • Friends
Just did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Access Nepal. Loved our guide (Mahendra) and also porter (Dipak). Very accomodative, helpful, and follows our pace. Sadhana who helped to organised everything was also very efficient and accomodative since she had to change our plans last minute because I missed my flight to Kathmandu. And yet we managed to do everything we wanted to do in Nepal. Great teamwork and people. Highly recommended. We did the ABC trek in an express 5 days (3 days up and 2 days down) due to our limited time and the team has been very good to ensure that we manage to finish it. Thank you!!

Fantastic trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas: Everest Base Camp + Gokyo
May 2018 • Friends
Where to start….

We were 4 guys of 26-28 y/o from Belgium and we decided to go to Nepal for a trekking in the Himalaya in Nepal. We love nature, we love sports and we loved the idea to be in the fresh air of the mountains (far from house and for from every news/communication channel), which is a perfect spot to relax, to enjoy a natural peace and to unstress from work or other demanding activities you probably experience in your home country.

So, we decided to book the trip with Access Nepal and off we went! From the beginning, communication went very well. We could ask everything and we always had a satisfying and clear answer from Sadhana, the Manager/Tour Operator of Access Nepal. They also provided us with an equipment list, which is very useful to organize your trip as you don’t know what you can expect.

Once arrived in Kathmandu, our guide “Devman” was waiting for us at the airport in a small cosy minivan (which is typically Nepalese) and received us very well with a big smile (always by the way!). By arriving in this busy, vibrating city, we realised the trip finally really started! Gave us a good and exciting feeling. In the evening we had a welcome dinner in a Nepalese restaurant with an explanation on the whole trip and how everything will be organised during the following 2 weeks. After having consumed some beverages and Dhal Bhat (Nepalese dish), we went to bed to be sharp for our first journey of the trek.

From Kathmandu we had to take the plane to Lukla Airport, which is not very easy (depending on the weather). Sometimes, when weather is bad and cloudly, planes are not leaving, which is quite annoying as you have to wait in the departure hall until weather is getting better (can take several hours or even days). Which was really reassuring was that our guide Devman did his entire best to arrange someting as it was also possible to take the heli (extra payment) to Lukla (higher chance of flying). Finally, after hours of waiting, Devman arranged the last heli of the day for us and we took off to Lukla! Part of the experience!

The whole journey in the mountains started from then on. Every day we did 5-6 hours of walking/climbing to the next village where our teahouse was waiting for us. The scenery is in the beginning quite similar to the Alpes or European mountains with needle trees and same mountain sceneries, but after 2-3 days trekking, the tree line dissapeared and the rocky Himalaya came up with its vast and incredible mountains. Every day was a big and amazing journey, with sometimes though hikes and good climbs, but the views and sceneries were priceless. We also had amazing weather (blue sky and sun during 10 days), so all our days were magnificent. Devman also guided us really well by adjusting the pace/speed according to the people and the weather conditions. Our group was quite fit and didn’t experience many problems due to altitude, food or sport intensity. Devman was always very attentive for our mental and physical state and helped us with good advice and tips in the mountains, which is vital if you want to reach the highest peak (Kalla Patthar – 5545 m) without big problems. Each afternoon and evening, you also have the time to relax, to play cards, to read a book and to enjoy your teahouse and its surrounding in the middle of the mountains. The best view is without doubt Kalla Patthar, which is absolutely (and litteraly) breathtaking. When arriving in Everest Base Camp (EBC), several emotions and feelings come up by realizing you made it, you are in the middle of an incredible natural wonder and that you have to chance to admire all of this. We also experienced to proposals, which was great and an additional special touch to our trip. After EBC, we did an additional trip to Gokyo via the Chola Pass. Absolutely recommended by me and my friends! Basically you go several hours down from EBC and take another way through the mountains. People doing only EBC are doing the whole way down as they did to go up, so same sceneries and same teahouses. In my opinion much better to do EBC with another pass like Chola pass (there are 3 in total – for the big fanatics). The trek to the first village just in front of Chola Pass was probably the best trekking day we did. Even better sceneries, much less tourists (almost none!) and an absolutely amazing day. Our plan was to go over the Chola Pass the day after at 4AM, but suddenly a heavy storm started and the whole region was undersnowed. You could think: damn it! But in the contrary. Seing the same scenery under snow was MAGICAL and INCREDIBLE. I have never seen a such stunning and magnificent scenery of my life. One of our last days was in Gokyo after Chola Pass, which is a big Holy lake in the mountains. Very nice to see and as told previously, a very nice trekking via another way when going down to Lukla again.

Despite it can be sometimes intensive and quite hard, we had a lot of fun and joy and we enjoyed every single moment of it. The teahouses were also more than OK with a very big menu card, so not needed to eat every day rice with curry! Our guide Devman was also always smiling and happy and you could tell/ask him every thing you want. Important to also have a good group of whom everybody is at the same physical (and mental) level.

In resume: everybody that can and want to do it, should do it. You will never regret this. It’s too beautiful, too peaceful, too incredible. Being far from house, in the Himalayas, in Nepal, with good friends of yours and a warm and amazing Nepalese guide is magical. Far from all comfort, luxury, connection and negative sensation. Back to basics, pushing your body to new limits while enjoying “Nature Almighty”. Having a good time in family or with friends. 100% recommended. When going back to Kathmandu or home, you will also realise how comfort and luxury has become too ‘normal’ in our lives. Enjoy everything you have and be humble to people with less.

My second recommendation is Access Nepal Tour & Trekking. An excellent company for organizing such trips. From A to Z our trip has been organized perfectly, with Devman and Sadhana as front leaders. They did always their incredible best to make us happy and to make the trip as perfect as possible. By seeing other guides during our trek, we were probably also very lucky with Devman. He was a real example of how guides should be: friendly, helpful, polite, experienced and always happy. He is not probably the best, but THE BEST.

And the real heros are finally our sherpas, our porters: they deserve all credits by going up and down the mountains with our bags in sneakers, jeans and tshirts. They are incredible.

Thank you for everything and hopefully see you in the near future!

EBC CIRCUIT VIA GOKYO – AMAZING MEMORABLE ADVENTURE
Mar 2019 • Friends
The guide, Devman Tamang, was excellent. Throughout the trek he looked after the group and was really helpful and friendly. In addition the porters were also friendly.
The trek itself was amazing. The scenery and the views were outstanding, and everyday there was something different to enjoy. The trek felt well balanced and at times challenging but rewarding. Overall really happy with the trek, the guide, and the host, Access Nepal, who were extremely welcoming and friendly. Would book again and highly recommend.

Thanks for making me the Queen of the mountain!
Apr 2014
It has been months since I was back from Nepal. While sitting in the office working on my long To-do list, I feel kind of depressed and can’t help but thinking of the days I was trekking to Annapurna Base Camp. It left me with all the beautiful memory which I will definitely remember for the rest of my life.

I live in Singapore and reason I chose to go trekking in Nepal was actually a hilarious one. A friend of mine just went not long ago before I did. And since the day he returned from Nepal, he had been telling me over and over again about how amazing the whole experience is and how breathtaking the view he got to see when he reached ABC. As a result, I yielded to temptation and only a few days later, I started to look for travel agencies in Singapore. Caught me by surprise, the quote I got was higher than expected which I had to search for other options. And to be frank, I was still very suspicious when I finally got in touch with Access Nepal Tours & Trekking, on one hand the package is extremely attractive and reasonable in price(almost half of the price of what I got from Singapore travel agency.

Lucky enough that I didn’t back off then because it turned out as a brilliant choice that I would never expect. The staffs picked me up at the airport and welcomed me with a beautiful flower-made necklaces (love it so much until I was busy in taking selfies while they driving to the hotel. Surprisingly the boss of the company welcomed me upon my reach, and he walked me through the whole journey. He covered every single detail and left me no questions to ask. And no doubt to tell that himself as a trek lover has had so many years’ experience in trekking and has been to so many different routines, he could even told about all possible problems at different stages I would face as a first-time trekker. Yet to mention, I actually supposed to join a team of two for trekking together and sharing the same trekking guide and porter. However due to the other foreigner missed the flight and hence couldn’t make it on time as scheduled, ended up I was granted to have the attentions all by myself. And that was why they said I am a lucky girl that I was about to become the queen of the mountain. They were so right to say that, and it had remained true throughout my whole journey. I am really grateful of how Access Nepal Tours & Trekking has made this experience of mine so special and memorable, I especially wanted to thank my tour guide and my porter, they were being professional and yet they took really good care of me.
