Access Nepal Tour & Trekking

Amazing Trekking Experience at ABC
Nov 2018 • Friends
I did a tour with Access Nepal through Much Better Adventures. It was a 10 day trekking tour to Annapurna Base Camp. I was really impressed with the service and care provided. Sadhana arranged all the pre and post trek information and provided a warm welcome and farewell to us. She was so attentive and friendly. Our guide – Puru – was excellent. Very knowledgable, caring and fun. He shared with us stories, told us about Nepalese culture, taught us some of the language, trekking songs, card games and always checked that we were ok. As it was just me and my friend. Puru made suggestions to adapt the planned overnight stops, to allow for our ability, stay at Tea Houses with amazing views and minimise how cold we would be. He even managed to arrange a twin share room (no dorm) for the whole of the trek, despite how busy it was.
We made the trek with no problems or altitude sickness.
The ABC trek is beautiful, with amazing views. So many ‘wow’ moments!
Rajan our porter was very sweet, helpful and strong! He did an excellent job of looking after and carrying our bags.
What made Access Nepal – Sadhana, Puru and Rajan – so fabulous (apart from their fantastic knowledge and orgaisation skills) is how warm and friendly they were. It felt like dealing with dear friends. I’m so pleased to have shared this experience with them and I’m very grateful for all that they did for me. The welcome and farewell dinners, airport transfers, duffle bag, T-shirt and map (that Puru kindly helped to mark our route) was greatly appreciated too.
I look forward to trekking with them again in the future.

Awesome Trekking in Himalayas

Even before leaving my home town I was confident that chosen “Access Nepal” was a good idea. Rahul always available listening very carefully and patient to all my wish to make this trip unforgettable. He gives me suggestions and solved problems before I knew there were any. Always friendly, honest and optimistic that I never felt I was been “over asking”( what I certainly did, haha)
The adventure starts and end with everything that I could need was done for me. I felt supported, safe and well care. The equipment they borrowed was high quality, new e very clean. If you don’t believe me just check other reviews. They really deserve all that stars! Thank you so much! This experience couldn’t be better.

An amazing trekking

I had one of my greatest experiences of my life in Everest base camp trekking.
I highly recommend Access Nepal Tour for it. The guide, Jovan, was helpful and funny, asking all the time if we were fine or needed something.
Both porters were also really professional and kind.
The only thing I would have change was the duration of the trekking. 8 days are perfect to reach the Everest base Camp but the agency should consider make the way back in 4 days, instead of 3. It seems to me a better option if you want to enjoy the return to Lukla.
Thank you so much Pratap and the whole team!

On my recent trip to Nepal I completed the Base Camp trek with Gokyo Lakes itinerary. We were a group of 4 travellers, going up Gokyo side first and then Basecamp and down. All four of us made it up and around and no one got altitude sickness which was obviously the main goal – yay! Slow and steady wins the race is my advice!!

Access Nepal Tour company were fantastic, everything was arranged and organised with excellent communication from Australia and then transfers, accommodation and tour ran smoothly, with out any glitches. Our tour guide Ganesh was experienced, helpful, spoke excellent english and provided excellent attention to detail. Our accomodation on the mountain was what you would expect, if not better (actually we even had an ensuite for 3 of the nights!). Access Nepal provide excellent value for money when compared to other trekking companies we compared with online and also when talking to other groups on the mountain (often our accom was better, always with an indoor toilet, we got fruit served with our dinner every night and a detailed briefing about our next day). All our food is included on the trek (you still order anything you like off the menu at the tea house and a cup of tea or coffee, just like other groups) and I think this is SUPER important because food on the mountain can be expensive especially as you get hire up the mountain (if meals not included, expect to pay easily a minimum on 10-15 US$ per day, if not more). Access Nepal doesn’t include water, but this isn’t a problem if you bring water purification tablets, you can just fill your bottle from any running water tap (even bathroom!) and off you go – we did this all the way up the mountain, with no problems… where running water isn’t available, our guide Ganesh would fill them up for us from the kitchen water (free of charge) and we would purify that.

All in all, it’s an absolute no brainer, Access Nepal is excellent value for money and a highly regarded company on my part. I would book a trip with them again and would highly recommend!

An exceptional and unforgettable experience

Myself and my mother have completed Everest base camp trek with Access Nepal. To say we had a good experience would be an understatement, it was truly excellent. From day one exchanging emails with Sadhana we were looked after – our questions answered immediately with great advice, hotel booked for us (as we arrived a week before the trek), and every aspect looked after so that we could relax and enjoy Nepal thoroughly.

Our guide was Devman, and he exceeded out expectations in every way. We read a review by a Canadian, Don, who mentioned “the Devman Advantage” and the five of us in our group agreed this was the perfect description for having Dev as our guide. From making sure we got the best seats on the flight to Lukla, to never having to wait for our bags at the teahouses, to having an endless supply of delicious cookies and even fixing the window in our room in the teahouses; Dev is the perfect example of what a guide should be. He is knowledgeable, professional, and has the most genuine generosity of spirit I’ve ever encountered. Along with the two porters and the other guide/porter Kiran, we had so much fun and never had to worry about a thing. Crucially, we met a lot of people who did not receive the right advice or help from their guide and many were not successful in reaching EBC. Dev’s advice and knowledge is central to the 100% success rate of our trip.

An important thing I need to mention is the tipping practice of these organizations. The trip prices are so reasonable because of the intense competition between trekking companies in Kathmandu. For this reason, the customer is extremely well looked after but the guides and porters are paid enough to cover the trip themselves and not much more. DO NOT BOOK ANY TRIP TREKKING IN THE HIMALAYA IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO TIP ADEQUATELY. These people work harder than you can imagine, long hours and heavy loads every single day and the tip they receive is often the only sum that makes the work a profit. 15% is the MINIMUM tip so please factor this into your budget, and once you see for yourself the work that goes into creating a perfect experience for you, you will see 15% is a more than reasonable suggestion.

We want to thank Access Nepal and especially Dev and Sadhana for the absolute privilege it was to have this experience with them. Dev is an incredible asset to the company and the company itself is a perfect example of the success that can be achieved in supporting smaller, LOCAL businesses and not the multinational adventure corporations. Thanks guys and we will be back!!!

I would not hesitate to recommend Access Nepal tours for all trekking tours in Nepal. We did the Gokyo Lakes and EBC and everything was amazing. We had a bit of trouble getting to Nepal with 2 flights canceled, but all the time Sadhana was there adjusting our plans, taking care of everything and answering all my emails super fast.
Our guide was simply the best guide we could have, Subodh (or Sub) who help and looked after us all the way.
Thank you to all the people at Access Nepal, you guys are amazing.
