445 reviewsIn March 2018 I trekked the Annapurna Sanctuary with Access Nepal Tours. What an incredible, memorable and spectacular trek! I was completely blown away with the beautiful ever-changing scenery we saw each day. I was very surprised by the yummy food and the accommodation/facilities were much better than I ever thought. Our knowledgeable guide Devman is a legend!! As soon as we met him we knew we were in good hands. He took such good care of everyone on the trek and no question or request was too much to ask. The porters were also very helpful and kind. The tour company was excellent and promptly responded to all our email enquiries. I highly recommend this tour company as it was very well organized and we honestly had no issues at all. I think this tour company is great value for money.

Did the Everest Base Camp Trek in February 2018. It was an amazing experience. From the beginning Sadhana was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional and helpful. Once I arrived I was picked up a the airport by my guide, Ohm. Ohm was professional and knowledgeable. Upon arrival at Lukla I met our porter Gopal, and I can say very much the same for him. During the trek I made a lot of friends including Ohm and Gopal and I would highly recommend Access Nepal for trekkers interested in seeing the Himalayas.

Since our first contact with Sadhana (Executive Travel Advisor) of Access Nepal Tour almost 2 years ago, she was very good responsive to all our questions, planning and requests to do the Everest B.C Trek. I and my friends started the trek at end of April-2017 and now once it finished I say Thanks to Sadhana and to the support team assigned to our group, thanks to Givan and Sher for their great and friendly dedication as our guides on the mountain and thanks to the Sherpas by being also helpful and friendly with us. Some of us had some issues with the altitude sickness but thanks to Givan and Sadhana those were handled promptly and successful. I will recommend Access Nepal Tour to anyone.

Recently back from successfully summiting Island Peak in Nepal with Access Nepal. We highly recommend this trek. It's not the easiest but with a good level of fitness it's a great adventure. The trip includes a trek to Everest Base Camp and a great climb with ropes and crampons on Island Peak itself. Our trekking guide picked us up at arrival at Kathmandu airport and Sandhana (travel advisor) ran through the trip logistics before we set off the following day. With very helpful guides (trekking & climbing) and a porter supporting us throughout our trek, everything fell into place and all we had to do was concentrate on enjoying our trip. It was great to walk through the Everest region and summiting Island Peak was definitely the highlight. We can't thank Access Nepal enough for helping us have a successful trip and ensuring all the logistics fell into place, even when the weather caused problems getting into and out of Lukla airport. The trek's schedule is well structured to minimise any difficulties with altitude and everyday our guide couldn't do enough to ensure we enjoyed our trek, were well accommodated and weren't suffering issues with altitude. If you're thinking of trekking in Nepal we strongly recommend going with Access Nepal.

I used Access Nepal for my Three Passes Trek, and I couldn't have asked to work with a group of more trustworthy and capable people for this adventure. I had an incredible time and would love to go back and repeat the experience. This trip was life-changing in the best way. Just go - you're in great hands from the moment you land in Kathmandu until you are back from the mountains. The major advice I have is that if you're unsure of your fitness, I'd stick to just doing the Everest Base Camp trek or something similar, as the additional three passes were very challenging. However, no matter what, your guide will go above and beyond the line of duty to ensure that you have a safe (yet exhilarating) experience.

Simply had the best time doing the Everest Base camp Trek. Sadhana was fantastic with all questions regarding trip arrangements. Her professional service and arranging was faultless. Made the trip so easy. Our guide Prakash was excellent with great knowledge of trek, region and I think his expertise in gauging the pace to walk at (especially up steep sections) helped our acclimatization. He always looked after us in the Tea houses and checked everything was fine. To top it off we had excellent weather all along the trek. Thank you Sadhana, Prakash and all the people at Access Nepal for a wonderful holiday/trek and great experience.

My husband and I made the Everest Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal and we loved all services! Sub was a great guide and gave us an amazing support during all trekking. Sadhana, thanks for all support before and during the trekking. We were very satisfied with your service! Thanks for all!!

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Access Nepal for the second time - the first time was as a solo travel, this time was with my wife and cousin. Awesome experience made trouble free by Access Nepal - From being met at the airport and checked into hotels through to the trek itself was organised and trouble free. Dev, our guide, and the porters were awesome and made sure we made it. My 85 year old mother went on a guided tour of Nepal while we were off trekking. She had her own guide and transport and again everything was organised and she was well cared for. Great experience and awesome value for money. Highly recommend.
Bruce Payne USA
I have completed the trek to Everest Base Camp(EBC)with Access Nepal Tours. The whole trip right from picking me from the Kathmandu airport was very well planned and professionally organized. As I am not a professional high altitude trekker, there were so many times during the trek I needed extra physical and mental support. The guide that came along with our group (Subodh) was always there for me during the entire trek. He even helped me to visit a local doctor at Namche for a check up as I was not feeling well. Luckily, everything worked out fine for me. The porters that were provided to us were also amazing bunch of guys. Always there to help you in whatever way they can so that we could complete the hike. Without the help and support of our guide and porter, I would not have completed my trek. I am very happy with all the professional service that was provided by Sadhana Adhikari and her team. They really go the extra mile to ensure that you are well supported during the trek. I would not hesitate to recommend Access Nepal tours for all the trekking tours in Nepal. I would definitely be availing their services for all my future trekking trips in Nepal. They are just outstanding!

Fantastic company that will give you the experience of a lifetime! 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!!

In Oct. 22 we did the Everest Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal. Since our first contact with Sadhana almost 3 years ago (due to Covid), she was very responsive to all our questions, planning and requests to do the Everest Base Camp Trek. After arriving in Kathmandu we were not able to take a regular flight by plane to Lukla due to weather conditions, but the guys from Access Nepal and especially our guide Devman were very helpful and flexible to find an alternative route to EBC Trek. We enjoyed our trip very much and everything was perfectly organised. Devman did everything to make us feel comfortable. As soon as we met him we knew we were in good hands. He took such good care of everyone on the trek and no question or request was too much to ask. Our porter was also very kind. We would highly recommend this tour company and particularly want to thank Devman very much for making our trek a wonderful experience! Katja and Florian

ABC Trip: Access Nepal was Perfect!! My wife and I had the vacation of our lives on our trek to ABC and this was partly due to the outstanding service of Access Nepal. From our initial contact with Sadhana last spring until our departure a few days ago, the service, thoughtfulness, attentiveness, and attention to detail was outstanding. For example, as soon as we walked out of the airport in Kathmandu, our guide met us and took care of all detail from then on through the rest of the trip. It helped that the weather was perfect and we had no significant physical problems. I am 70 my wife is 67 so this was really significant. Our guide, Pershotam and porter, Milan were both professional, knowledgeable, upbeat, and very caring. Their command of English was quite adequate. We have hiked a fair bit in the USA, Canada, France, Switzerland and Norway. The scenery in the Himalayas was of a scale we had never seen. These mountains are huge and severe because they are so new and uneroded. The food was much better than we expected. We had a choice from a decent size menu at every meal. The cost of the trip was very reasonable and very competitive with other agencies we compared them to. It was particularly reasonable considering there were only two of us and we had our own guide and porter. I strongly recommend both Access Nepal and the ABC trip.

After making the decision to do the EBC trek, I did a lot of research about tour companies. I decided to go with Access Nepal because of so many positive reviews and the fact that they were based locally in Nepal. The whole booking experience was so easy. I was in constant contact with Sadhana who was so friendly and informative about the itinerary, logistics equipment etc. I was quite nervous flying to Nepal alone, but I was completely put at ease as soon as my incredible guide Ganesh met me at the arrival area of KTM airport. From getting me to the hotel, to Lukla airport and ultimately to EBC, Ganesh made the whole experience so easy and allowed me to truly enjoy the adventure I was having. Because I was on this trek solo, I got to spend a lot of time talking with Ganesh while hiking and at meal times. He spent hours telling me about the different regions we were hiking through, the local customs, other treks he takes clients on. He took time to introduce me to other guides and porters which was really nice considering I was otherwise by myself. His passion for the Himalayas was so obvious and it made the experience even more enjoyable. If you are even thinking of booking a tour with Access Nepal, you should go ahead and do it, and ask for Ganesh! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Amazing experience from beginning to end. Access Nepal provided us all the support and care so we could focus only on doing the hard part: walking and walking during the more than 2 weeks that it took us to go from Kathmandu, explore the Gokyo Valley, cross the ChoLa Pass and reach EBC and back. All in all an unforgettable trip, made even better with the help of our guide, Subodh, and our porter, Madan. Thank you to all the people at Access Nepal, including our main contact there, Sadhana! Namaste!

Three High Passes Trekking - Better than Excellent I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on the Three High Passes trek in Nepal with Access Nepal, and I cannot praise them enough for their outstanding service. This agency truly understands the essence of adventure and provided me with an unforgettable experience. The highlight of my journey was undoubtedly the exceptional guide, Devman Tamang, who went above and beyond to ensure our trek was a success. From the moment we started our trek, Devman proved himself to be an invaluable asset. He assisted me in every aspect, from selecting the right meals to caring for our bodies and motivating us during challenging days. His professionalism and competence in looking after both myself and the group were exceptional, particularly when it came to our physical well-being, which is of utmost importance in the mountains where altitude sickness can be a concern. Devman's sense of humor, patience, and helpfulness made the trek even more enjoyable. The Three High Passes trail is undeniably demanding, and without a knowledgeable guide like Devman, I would not have been able to achieve success. However, with his guidance, I was able to navigate through the challenging terrain and witness some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes imaginable. The trail took us through enchanting forests, awe-inspiring glaciers, snowy landscapes, river crossings, and provided us with breathtaking views of lakes and majestic mountains from the tea houses where we stayed. It truly felt like a dream come true. Right from the beginning, Sadhana, who assisted us, was incredibly attentive and efficient. Her excellent customer service ensured that our entire experience, from the initial planning stages to the final day, was smooth and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Access Nepal to anyone seeking a perfect experience in Nepal. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The combination of the remarkable Three High Passes trail, the exceptional guidance of Devman, and the outstanding service provided by Access Nepal truly made this an unforgettable adventure.

Amazing holiday trekking the Manaslu Circuit with Access Nepal! This was for us the second time we went trekking in Nepal with Access Nepal, and we are once again 100% satisfied with the amazing service. Sadhana is always available and incredibly kind, we had a long email exchange in order to organize the trek according to our needs. We decided to have a modified itinerary for the trek and Access Nepal has been amazing in accommodating our wishes. Moreover, our guide Giri was incredibly helpful during the trek, making sure we would always get the best rooms on the trek, the best service, and he was always very flexible regarding changing plans depending on our needs or weather forecast. The holiday was super smooth from the moment we step foot in Nepal to the moment we left. Access Nepal has 100% attention to the client needs, has an incredibly helpful and happy staff, we are so happy to be trekking with them and we will do it again. The Manaslu circuit trek is absolutely stunning, it was so much better than we expected, and we are incredibly happy to have witnessed the amazing views the trek has to offer. There`s a road in construction on the trek, and I think if you`re planning on doing this amazing trek you should do it NOW, before the road construction goes too far into the valley. The side treks to Pungyen Gompa and the Tibetan border were highlights of the holiday, if you have time please make sure to add a couple of nights in Samagaon and Samdo to take the side treks, you will love them. Access Nepal and Sadhana are super helpful in customizing your trek, you will not be disappointed. Overall, for the second time top scores to Access Nepal team, we are incredibly pleased with the service, the friendship, the professionalism and the feeling of being in good hands that come with trekking with Access Nepal. We recommend them wholeheartedly!

Annapurna Base Camp Sep 2023 • Solo I did the Annapurna Base Camp with them and it was an incredible experience. Subodh accompanied me at all times, wonderfully guiding me through every magical corner of this place. A fantastic porter and very good vibes all the way. They attended to all the needs you needed on the excursion, adapting the trekking to the vacation days you had available. When I return to Nepal I will contract with them again without hesitation.

Annapurnas trekking Apr 2024 • Friends We have done the Annapurnas trekking with them and it has been a magnificent experience. Very well organized, without problems. Our guide Devman has treated us wonderfully, attentive to all our needs and solving all the issues that arise in this type of trip. An experience to repeat. A highly recommended agency and a great guide. Thanks for everything Devman

Annapurna Trek - March-April 2024 Apr 2024 • Friends We did the Annapurna trek from Besi Sahar, going up to Tilicho Lake, crossing Thorung La to Muktinath and ending with the climb from Tatopani to Ghorepani. The organization was impeccable, our guide Devman has 18 years of experience and it shows. He is kind, attentive and capable of leading a huge group of 38 people plus about twenty porters and auxiliary guides. Thanks to him, the entire group passed the altitude stages without any problem. Highly recommended.

Annapurnas and Chitwan National Park Apr 2024 • Friends April, 2024. Group. The trip we took with Access Nepal was magnificent: the Annapurna Circuit and the Chiwan National Park. Both the agency staff, with Sadhanna in charge, and the guides on the route, Devman, Bicash and Shuresh, were always attentive to solve any problem in a caring and efficient manner. They perfectly planned the routes and our daily life so that the entire group could progressively acclimatize to the altitude and effort, so that no one suffered any type of problem and that despite the hardness of the route. The hotels and food in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan are unbeatable. The mountain lodges met our expectations despite the precariousness that these accommodations usually have. The scheduled visits and tours were very interesting. And above. We were lucky with the weather and we thoroughly enjoyed the incredible settings. We had already done the Lantang Valley with them before and we knew of their effectiveness. In short, lucky to have traveled with them. We will repeat in new adventures. .

Unbeatable experience Mar 2024 • Friends I did the Annapurnas trek with my group from Valencia. And I return delighted. Everything very well organized. The guides and porters of 10, a very hard job for them. Everyone is always very helpful and attentive to all of us. They provided us with bags and feathers for whoever needed them, which were perfectly clean and in good condition. The visits we made in Kathmandu, Pokhara and surrounding areas were also well organized. In short, a very pleasant experience, at all times I have felt cared for and in good hands. A big thank you to the entire Access Nepal team. I hope to have a new experience with them soon. 💚🧡🩵💙❤️💛💜🩷🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

An amazing trek. Mar 2024 • Friends An incredible experience. From Chame to Muktinath and from Tatopani to Poon Hill. An adventure among epic landscapes, discovering mountains, valleys and mountain ranges that leave you speechless and with the help of a top-level professional team with whom we were unanimously delighted. Stays, transportation, medical care, guide, luggage... whatever you want, everything impeccably organized and with the most kind and friendly treatment, a colossal job by people who make you feel at home even in the shelter more isolated and above all, it knows very well how to do high mountains and adapt to the needs of each member of the expedition. Our thirty people in number and the logistics that entailed were no match for the experience, skill and tremendous effort of Devman and his wonderful team. The visits to Pokhara, Chitwan and Khatmandu were very fun and the historical places of the capital were especially exciting. And its bars.

A company of 10 Mar 2024 • Friends Spectacular. The entire company, from the reception at the Kathmandu airport with the flower necklaces, transfers... and the entire organization and development of the trekking through the Annapurna Valley. Although it is not fair to mention only a few, given that the entire company was 10, it is impossible not to remember Vikash, Deivman and Suresh whose 24/7 kindness made the hard part of the journey much easier. And of course to Sadhana in the organization in Kathmandu. Thank you very much for the experience.

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!

Everest Expedition Jun 2024 • Couples We decided to face an adventure that we had long planned to do. In June 2024 we climbed up to the Everest Base Camp (5364 m), passing Kalapatthar, about 5500 m. The challenge was only possible due to the excellent work done by the Agency Access Nepal, which in addition to organizing the entire expedition, encouraged us throughout the journey to complete the accomplishment. The presence, guidance and support of the Subodh Tamang guide and the Nirat loader were essential for the success of the adventure. The support of Sadhana, who was at the forefront of all the planning, was also very important. I highly recommend this agency!!! Note 10.

Totally professional . Highly reccoend May 2014 • Friends Having studied the attractions outside of Kathmandu , I decided I wanted to visit Bhaktapur and Patan . Not as separate day trips as normally offered but in a single day . My initial inquiry was answered promptly and professionally as were the questions that followed. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was laid out and pricing clear . I had read of the various fees associated with the attractions and asked for these to be included. These were set out separately as was the extra cost for me to be dropped at Nagarkot at the end of the day . The prices were very reasonable and when a friend asked to join me after I had booked , the price of tour excluding attraction fees was simply split . The lady I dealt with Sadhana Adhikari was most impressive . At the commencement of the tour she came to the hotel and introduced the guide and the driver and restated the itinerary so there could be no misunderstanding . She also gave each of us a quality company tee shirt . The vehicle was first class and roomy and the driver was skilled and responsible . He had the vehicle waiting and cool whenever needed. The guide was very informative and sensitive to our needs.He took us to to two villages not on the itinerary which were not commonly visited and they were fascinating I could not fault the day . They have a wide range of trips and I would use them without hesitation next time I visit Nepal

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.

Fantastic tour of Nepal Oct 2014 • Solo One of the main things that attracted me to Access Nepal, was the reasonable cost and the fact that they were flexible on dates. When you only have a week off finding a tour can be quite difficult. The only thing I was slightly wary of before booking was the lack of reviews on trip advisor. I think, as most people do, that trip advisor is great for getting a real idea of what a tour company are like, they currently have three outstanding reviews and these people were not wrong. I had a great experience with them and would highly recommend them. As mentioned before the cost and timings were deciding factors for me. However they also provided me with a private driver for a reasonable cost. This was one of the best things about the tour. The hotel which they booked me into in Kathmandu was good. I wasn't expecting luxury, but it was clean, quiet and everyone was very friendly. Even though on the edge of the thamel district it was very close to walk into the center. Sadhana, who was the lady who I booked it through, was great. Very polite and welcoming and she came and met me on arrival at the hotel tO go through everything on the tour. So I was well informed and knew what to expect. The complimentary traditional dinner on the first night was delicious and a good way to start the adventure. The tour around Kathmandu was amazing, the tour guide was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything and it was a real pleasure to talk to him about the history and culture of Nepal. When you have someone who has a lot of passion about their job and is proud of their city it makes a real difference. The drive down to chitwan was beautiful, the driver was fantastic. If you ever make a trip to Nepal you will notice as soon as you leave the airport how mad it is on the roads. There are no rules, so I felt lucky to have a driver who knew exactly how to drive these roads and he made me very feel comfortable. He looked after me throughout the whole tour and even when I got ill a couple of days in took me to the pharmacy to get some medicine. The only thing that I felt was a bit too touristy was chitwan national park. I felt like you were on a bit of conveyor belt been shown the sites, there was always people everywhere. It was beautiful but I have been to a lot of nature reserves and this was the only thing that didn't really do anything for me. This is a personal thing and not anything against the tour itself. If you are an animal lover you will love it. The hotel there was clean and friendly, food was included and was fine. The drive to Pokhara was again amazing. Pokhara is brilliant, loved every minute there. The lake is stunning and very calming and I would highly recommend going to the Tibetan refugee camp to see a Buddhist ceremony which takes places between 3-5pm every day. Its a got a great vibe in Pokhara and I will definitely be going back. Again having the driver was good as I got to pick and choose where to I wanted to go. The hotel was very central, right next to the lake, no lake view though and clean. Overall if you are looking for a good value tour, flexible with timings, trusted and knowledgeable guides then I would recommend going with Access Nepal. I would certainly use them again. Thank you for your time and hospitality and will hopefully see you soon.

Excellent, knowledgeable tour guides who speak English extremely well Jun 2014 • Family We went on two different day tours around Kathmandu with Access Nepal, and both were great. The best was the tour of Patan and Bhaktapur, mainly because we saw so many different sights that day. Tour the museum as well, even though it's an extra charge, though not much, as I recall. Both our guides spoke English very well and were quite forthcoming about the history and customs of Hindus in Nepal. They were both friendly and talkative. Sadhana will also customize a trip for you if you like.

Responsive, Friendly and Flexible Sep 2015 • Friends Two of us decided to go ahead with our plan to trek to ABC via Poon Hill just about 2 weeks before our trip to Nepal. We did not regret it as we witnessed the beauty of the nature offered to us, virtually unaffected by the earthquake. Thanks to Sadhana from Access Nepal who was quick to respond to our queries. We are happy to have Hom and Kalu as our guide and porter, who are always cheerful and able to accommodate changes to our itinerary along the trek. There are leeches at some parts of the trek but salt helped.

Friendly, great service, great value for money, speak good English, earthquake had no impact on our trip Oct 2015 • Friends From the moment we landed they took complete care of us. All we had to do was turn up and they sorted everything else. They took care of all the admin required for activities, so the whole three week holiday was a care free experience. Even with a fuel crisis, and one days notice from us, they managed to organise a private car to take us on a six hour round trip allowing us to go white water rafting. I would also note that the earthquake has had no impact on the service/packages provided by Access Nepal. Talking to other trekkers it seems that many people use the big western trekking companies to organise their holidays. In reality these trekking companies act as management agents who then go to companies such as Access Nepal to do all the work. Access Nepal will offer the same service/accommodation/facilities as the western companies. Having book with Access Nepal directly I am more than happy to recommend that others do the same. Save yourself some extra spending money and support a domestic business.

Organised, professional and friendly Sep 2015 • Solo I joined up to the three passes trek to fulfil a personal dream of hiking in the mountains and passes near Everest. One of the greatest treks I have undertaken and would highly recommend the Everest region to anyone. The Gokyo lakes area is a must! My contact at Access was Sadhana and she was fantastic. From meeting me at the hotel in Kathmandu, to arranging my sightseeing tour of Kathmandu, to arranging the logistics of the trek, everything. I would gladly recommend Access and Sadhana to anyone planning on heading to the beautiful country of Nepal.

Superb trip thanks to Access Nepal Oct 2015 • Friends The team at Access Nepal are fantastic and made the trip completely stress free. From booking the trip while back in the UK to being collected from the airport and taken to our Hotel everything was thought of and taken care of smoothly. We did a 4 day Safari in Chitwan, the 14 day EBC Trek and on returning to Kathmandu asked Sadhana to organise some white water rafting for us. This was organised at less than 24hr notice and was a really great day trip with a private driver and 4hrs of very good rafting. The safari and the trek were both perfectly organised. All door to door transport and excellent accommodation (much better than many of the other trekkers we met) were sorted. The team also made sure we had all the correct gear and were happy to lend us anything we didn't bring. The guides and porters were absolutely brilliant. They speak excellent English and were great guys. They know how to make sure you get the most out of the trekking and make it all the way and when not guiding us most of our evenings were spent drinking tea and playing cards with them. I can't recommend these guys enough and would absolutely use them again if returning to Nepal.

"Appreciate for Access Nepal Tour & Trekking" Nov 2015 • Couples I was appreciate the service given by Access Nepal Tour & Trekking, the accommodation was comfortable and clean. I really enjoy the delicious of welcome dinner with live Nepali cultural program and Farewell dinner at the finest restaurant in Thamel. Although our flight was delay one day for the last day because short of fuel in the country but the Access Nepal Tour & Trekking company willing arrange accommodation and one day tour sightseeing of Kathmandu Valley such as Kathamandu Durbar Spuare, Pashupatinatah Temple, Boudahanaatah Stupa and Swyambhunath Stupa for us. I also like to thank to the experienced guide (Mr. Kumar Adhikari) and porter (Mr. Bikash Dhakal & Mr. Holis), they are very helpful, kindly, patient and no temper at all. This is our most memorable experiences in my lifetime. I will visit Nepal again.

Access Nepal Trek to Everest Base camp Jan 2016 • Couples We booked directly with Access Nepal and were greeted at the airport by our guide. It was brilliant to have door to door service after such a long flight. We really enjoyed the welcome meal and got right into the swing of Kathmandu. We lost a day of our trek due to bad weather, our flight could not leave Kathmandu, our guide promptly sorted flights for the next day and we were brought back to our hotel and exceptionally well looked after. The next day we did get fly to Lukla and start our trek. Our shepa was amazing. So strong and so friendly. Him and our guide looked after us with upmost care and attention for the next 11 days. Always getting us extra blankets and making sure we were happy, managing and stopping whenever we needed a break / camera moment etc. We had to fast the trip because we lost a day, our guide was brill won't at re routing us, explains the changes and making sure we were happy with them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Access Nepal, we paid a lot LESS than other Trekkers we met, all enjoying the exact same trip. We had a lovely farewell dinner too, transfers to the airport etc. They didn't have any T-shirts or finishers certificates for us though but let's be honest, it's just more souvenirs you don't really need. All in all a wonderful trip, great company, great guides and Sherpas. Sadhana in the office is always quick to reply to emails and the whole thing ran like clock work! Definitely recommend.

Short Annapurna Trek -- GREAT POON HILL CUSTOM EXPERIENCE Oct 2015 • Solo We were looking for a custom itinerary as we only had a few days for trekking in Nepal as part of 3 weeks trip in Northern India / Nepal. All that was required was a few emails with Sadhana to build our ideal schedule! Everything in our wishlist was there, including local guide, porter, paragliding Sarangkot, accomodation and transportation. We met in Kathmandu, and were given all the proper info. Next day flight to Pokhara and we were greeted by Santosh and his brother! The next 4 days, all the way to Poon HIll and back, were UNFORGETTABLE!. Working with locals is clearly the way to go! And what needs more than ever, is for us to go and see them. They are such nice people. Our guide spoke great English, was smart, funny and very knowledgeable. We were somewhat novice at trekking but our guide and porter made us feel very comfortable, followed our pace and were always there when needed!!! We talked politics, shared stories and played cards while trekking in the one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We saw aftermath of the Eathquake in Nepal, but nothing a traveller cant handle. Nepal is clearly ready for people from all over to visit!!! Please book LOCAL. Its as easy as going through an agency, and everything can be safey done online, but buying local really helps the economy to get back!

What a way to see the world! Mar 2016 • Couples My wife and I recently undertook the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal Tour and Trekking. We were recommended this company by our daughter who had undertaken this trek 6 months earlier. The experience of the trek was awesome as was the support and assistance we received from the company. We paid a very reasonable fee for the trek and this included everything we needed. We were taken care of from the minute we arrived in Nepal to the minute we left. The information from the company enabled us to plan the trip meticulously, we werer very prepared in what we brought and how we got ourselves fit. During the trek we had the services of the best guide in Nepal and the fittest porter. They looked after our every need and made the trip educational as well as fun. We saw so much during the trek. We saw flora and fauna and met a bundle of trekkers from around the world as well as many locals, all of whom were always happy to say namaste and wish us well. We couldn't fault any part of the trek and I have recommneded this company to family and friends. They know what they are doing and do it so well.

May 2016 • Solo It was already the fourth trip to Nepal and this time my expectations were more than fulfilled. Starting from the fair price of the package and going through the perfect organisation of the whole trip they were the best so far. They really tried hard to see through the eyes of their clients and always had the little bit of extra that makes the difference. When the flight to Lukla was late because of fog they organized in 5 minutes an helicopter, no extra charges! - Helicopters flights tend to be more than double in price than by airplane. In every lodge we had they managed to organize the better rooms, most of the times with private toilet. The ones who traveled already to Nepal know what I mean with that. The tour guide was knowingly about the geography and local people, really dedicated and available all the time. We, everybody in the small group, were impressed by the efficiency of the company and their adaptability. Keep up the good work!

May 2016 • Solo I have recently finished Annapurna Circuit tour in Nepal (11/5 - 31/5) I had an amazing experience with Access Nepal Tour. From the day I book the tour, a lady named Sadhana organised everything from airport pick up and drop off to welcome dinner and farewell dinner all was included in the price. The trekking guide Mani is very professional and helpful. Mani always makes me feel safe and very encouraging throughout the trek, he took care off all the Admin side of things through all the Police check-points and I don't need to worry about anything besides enjoying my trekking. I highly recommend their service to anyone who wants to do trekking in Nepal.

Gokyo to EBC trek: best adventure of my life… so far :) May 2016 • Solo I joined the Gokyo to Everest Base Camp trek and had an amazing experience. The Himalayas were everything I expected them to be and much, much more. They will literally take your breath away! This was not just a trek, but a journey that tested me both physically and mentally, and made me feel so blessed, humble, grateful and happy at the same time. The people I met were wonderful, the Nepalese are so friendly people and put all efforts in making you feel very welcomed. This was a long trek (15 days) and one of the best thing it was to make friends en route and experience the camaraderie between trekkers. My contact from the agency was Sadhana, with whom I had an excellent communication before the trip, and she even took it as a personal task to visit me at the hotel the days I spent in Kathmandu after the trek. Everything was well organized, we had very good accommodation and the food on trek exceeded expectations, both in quality and quantity. The guide Kumar and porter Bim were very kind and knowledgeable about the trek, very professional and serious about their job. I would certainly recommend Access Nepal Tour to those thinking of experiencing a Himalayan mountain trekking adventure.

Mera Peak, Everest Base Camp & Kala Patthar May 2016 • Friends The entire planning went smoothly and our trip went very smoothly. From the moment we landed in the airport, the guide engaged by the agency was able to link up with us and from there on made sure our trip was as comfortable as possible, providing excellent advice. My friend and I booked a 25 day package with the agency and they were able to customize the trip to our requirements and also providing extremely good pricing! Had 2 guides and both were extremely experienced and dedicated. Guide 1 - Pemba Sherpa (For mera peak) Guide 2 - Giri (for Everest base camp & kala patthar) On our rest day in Kathmandu, the agency was able to engage one of their city tour guides immediately when we decided to do an impromtu sight seeing. Will definitely reccomend this agency for anyone travelling to nepal

Annapurna Base Camp Hike - Amazing Experience Jun 2016 • Solo I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal in June 2016. In short: Access Nepal made this an incredible experience. Overall the company is run exceptionally well. Sadhana responds to emails extremely quickly and in a very detailed manner. The information that I received prior to the trek matched 100% what I experienced during the hike. The trek itself was great. The guide (Santosh) and the porter (Giri) were both fantastic. They were extremely friendly, knowledgeable about the region, and fun to hang out with (which is important giving the length of the trek). The tea houses were clean, comfortable a nice, the food was delicious and plentiful and the views were spectacular. In short: I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Access Nepal team and I always had the feeling that I was well taken care of. One final thing: bring hiking sticks if you have them. Some sections of the trek have very steep stairs which can be slippery when they are wet. You can do it without (most people that I met on the hike didn't have any trekking poles) but if you have a busted knee (like I do), hiking sticks will make your life better. THANK YOU SO MUCH to Access Nepal for the Adventure of a Lifetime!

Annapurna Base Camp- Amazing! Jun 2016 • Solo Sadhana, Santosh, and Giri were all fantastic and took amazing care of me for the entire trek! Sadhana was amazing at helping me before I even got to Nepal and I felt looked out for the entire time I was in the country. Santosh and Giri were so patient with my slow pace, and seeing the view at Annapurna was absolutely breathtaking. I recommend using Access Nepal completely, I had a superb experience. -Nina

Wonderful experience Apr 2016 • Couples This is a delayed review as we went to Nepal in April/May. My husband and I did the Manaslu Circuit Trek as we wanted something a little more off the beaten path than Annapurna or Everest Base Camp. We were very happy with this decision...we seldom saw other trekkers and most nights there were maybe a dozen or less others at our hotels (it got busier as we climbed as there are less villages and hotel options). We also added on a trip to Chitwan after our trek (which was very enjoyable...but very hot and humid that time of year). The company was great. We were a bit nervous to book with a company out of Nepal only because we have control issues and it felt a little scary to give all this money to a company halfway around the world and not really know what we were getting into. However, we were well taken care of by Sadhana, the owner who manages the booking and all the details, as well as our guide, Hom, and porter, Giri (who was training to guide that trek). Hom and Giri made the trek extra special and they were enjoyable to be around. Overall, we felt confident with their knowledge and experience. No matter what company you go with, it is important to remember that Nepal is a third world country and they are in the midst of and recovering from a number of issues. Things are not always going to go as planned. That being said, it was a very wonderful experience, the people are very friendly, especially on the trek, and the scenery is beautiful.

Everest Base Camp - Amazing!! Dec 2015 • Friends My friend and I did the Everest Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal and the trek was amazing! The tour guide, Santosh, was very friendly and took great care of us. Santosh was very patient with our slow pace which was mostly because we took a lot of pictures. Everything from the starting point up to the Everest Base Camp was really amazing, especially the view from Kalapathar which was breathtaking. I really recommend using Access Nepal, we had a superb experience. Finally, thank you so much Access Nepal for the Adventure of Life time!

Wow! Excellent trip to Langtang Sep 2016 • Solo I am glad to write about the great experience that I had with Access Nepal Tour and Trekking local leader of Nepal and their level of service is very high. My guide Ram was very nice /experienced and at each moment he showed impressive flexibility and excellent management and leadership abilities. Together I felt very comfortable with the larger Access Nepal family. Access Nepal is expert, leaders and level of service is on the top, far from others. And it’s a company I will deeply recommend my friends, family and others. Thank you from heart for the once a life experience!
