445 reviewsEverest Base Camp Trek May 2017 • Friends Overall, I had a great experience with the company. The people who work for the company and the guides that were assigned to our trip were very nice -- especially Sher Rai! Ms. Sadhana, the executive travel advisor for our trip, was very responsive to our questions and needs, and she really made an effort to make us all feel welcome and comfortable in Kathmandu. One thing I would like to have different is to have a choice of the type of lodges or tea houses to stay during the trek. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra to get a more comfortable accommodation which would really matter on this very tough trek. We didn't have or not made aware of that option.

EBC and KalaPathar Apr 2017 • Couples Overall an amazing experience. Communication was excellent from day 1. Sadhana responded to every query promptly. Our tour guide Dipendra was fantastic. He was super helpful, knowledgeable and a fun guy to be around. Loved the fact that we were a small group of 4 and had the opportunity to spend more time with our porters and guide in comparison to bigger expeditions of 20 plus people. Totally recommend the company and would definitely book another trip with them.

Everest B.C Trek Apr 2017 • Friends 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.

EBC Trek & Kala Patthar (via Gokyo) Apr 2017 • Friends Apr 10 - apr 21 - 2017. Me and my dad booked the Gokyo trekking with Access Nepal mainly because they included quite much in their price which compared to other agencies were really good. The agency replies fast on your mail queries and we had no problems what so ever with updating each other. Arriving to Kathmandu they picked you up at the airport and we met our trekking guide there, his name is Dinpendra. He took care of us from day one and made sure we got installed properly at the hotel. Next day we had a tourist attraction tour in Kathmandu, lots to see and the guide was really good. At Namche (snowed) our guide informed us that in our group of 4 people, 2 will most probably not make it to EBC with planned route, the Cho La Pass glacier would be to tough. He switched the trekking to EBC first, then if we made it we would try to go to Gokyo if the weather would allow. This was a very good decision!! The tea houses we got were very good, they provided us shower when possible. The food in the guesthouses were actually far better than I expected, much to choose from. Unfortunately I lost my appetite, but I’m glad that was the only high altitude issue I got :). Our porters Dipak and Netra (1 on 2 persons) were amazing, they were very humble and helped you with anything, they even tracked down my fathers cap that blew away! It is grey colour and just melted in with the rocks, but they found it far away, truly amazing. After the EBC visit, on the way back my father had heart problem, our guide Dinpendra were very professional and eventually we got Heli rescue help. Very sad to end the trip like that, however I’m glad the guide changed the route so we made our goal to reach EBC (and Kala Patthar). We had very nice sunny weather almost every day and the trekking path was not so full of other trekkers that it became annoying. The nature and trekking path is changing a lot, from big rock boulders to messy clay. I highly recommend the Access Nepal agency for your adventure in Nepal, if I would go back I would choose them again.

EBC Trek Apr 2017 • Friends We were a group of 8-friends that we trekked on April-May 2017. I would like to say Access Nepal Tour & Trekking was a good company to do trekking to the Himalayas. Sadhana was the face of the company, she had good and prompt response all our inquires and situations. Our tour guide (Givan) was an excellent individual to walk to Everest BC. Thanks for all you support and I highly endorse Access Nepal Tour & Trekking.

Amazing trek in an amazing part of the world! May 2017 • Solo If you've ever dreamed of trekking in the Himalayas or reaching Everest base camp then this is the way to go. Access Nepal was great from the start, has a price that is hard to beat and the trip was nearly perfect. My guide, Dipendra was phenomenal and did a great job of leading the way and taking good care of me during the two week journey. The scenery is spectacular and it is truly the trip of a lifetime. Will definitely be back one day and highly recommend to anyone considering making the trip.

ABC Trekking May 2017 • Friends A group of 9 spanish people went to Annapurna Base Camp with Access Nepal. Everything was perfect. Sadhana organised the complete trek; the porters superb, the guide and his assistant(Kumar and Ori) did a very good job. We even had fresh fruit during the hold trek. Everything was all right. Trustful and charming people. No doubt, I will repeat with them. Thanks for everything.

" Everest Base Camp Trek" Apr 2017 • Friends We did the Everest base camp trek with some friends from late April- beginning May of 2017. It was great! We still had really nice weather and nice days in the mountains. A Wonderful trek. Our trip was well organized by Sadhana Adhikari and “Access Nepal Tours & Trekking”. My sincere thanks to Sadhana for all his support and wonderful service rendered to our group in difficult times and that these problems were solved in the best way possible for our group. “Great Sadhana”. Our guide Givan and Sher were wonderful and excellent help. Especially to Givan for his excellent help and good knowledge of the routes to the Everest Base Camp, regarding altitude issues, history and culture. I just want to say “Thank you” Givan. Am really grateful the way you and your crew made me comfortable, with attention to each and every small details. Also to the wonderful and very friendly porters. Thank you to all for making our trip so memorable. I would highly recommend the use of Access Nepal Tour to anyone.

EBC and three high passes trek, April Apr 2017 • Couples Me and my boyfriend did Everest Base Camp and three high passes with Access Nepal in March 2017. This company is absolutely amazing! Before departing to Nepal, the company manager Sadhana was extremely helpful answering any questions we might have in advance. Once arrived at the airport we were greeted by our guide Kumar and from there on we were treated so well! The company is professional, arranging every part of your hike in an organized way, giving you clear instructions so that you know the agenda ahead, and adapting every part of the trek to what you as a customer have need for or prefer (like the treks accommodations, meals, walking speed, alternative routes etc.). Nepal is also a place where the more of this amazing country's culture you learn, the better it gets. So doing the trek with locals, who continuously taught you about the food, the ways of thinking and the people, as you're also able to support local businesses - is the best way to go! Access Nepal is a company where everyone employed, from the guides, to the porters, to the manager of the company are so warm and kind and helpful, they gave us such a great experience of Kathmandu, of the trail and of all the locations along the way. And more over; of how amazing Nepal is as a country! And the three high passes trek is so beautiful it takes your breath away. We'll absolutely come back, and we'll be using Access Nepal then too!

You Will Not Regret This!!! May 2017 • Friends My friend and I decided to use this company and we were not disappointed with them at all. Our guide was amazing, knowledgable, engaging, and funny to boot! The Annapurna Base Camp Trek was absolutely stunning and using Nepal Access Tour made everything simplified so that we didn't have to worry about any problems. If you're considering any type of trekking adventure, we both highly recommend Nepal Access Tours.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek May 2017 May 2017 • Friends My friend and I trekked to ABC in May 2017 through Access Nepal Tours and we were completely blown away! When first booking the trip, Sadhana was very accessible and quick to respond to our questions. Upon our arrival in Nepal, we were so pleased to find our accommodations already sorted out ahead of time! All of our rides, hotel and guest house rooms, and the vast majority of our meals were already taken care of by Access Nepal. This made our trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable, especially since neither of us had been trekking before! Our guide was very professional, personable and knowledgeable. He taught us lots about trekking and the Nepali culture. We were so glad to get to know him! The views along the way were spectacularly beautiful, I've never seen anything like it! Everyone associated with Access Nepal treated us with genuine kindness and respect. I would highly recommend this company for your Nepal trekking adventures! Access Nepal will definitely be my company of choice when I return for my next trekking adventure!

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.

Everest Base Camp Jul 2017 • Friends My guide Dipendra was, %100 of what made the trek exceptional! Without fail, rain or shine, always had the well being of everyone on the mountain, on his mind. From your sleeping habits to your appetite, he works to have you on top of your game for the trek! It hasn't been a week since the trek finished and I've already recommended him and company to a number of people whom will be travelling this coming season! Absolutely excellent.

Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes October 2016 Oct 2016 • Friends It was our first visit to Nepal and we felt incredibly welcomed by the team at Access Nepal. We were picked up at the airport by our guide and driven to a nice quaint hotel that was very central. Dinner was included on our first night and we were treated to a traditional performance. The amazing hospitality did not end there. We were blown away by how incredible our guide and porter was on the trek. They were both very attentive and took very good care of us. We are two female travellers and they made us feel very safe. Lok, our guide was very knowledgeable and Vishnu made the trek as comfortable and were ever so patient. They also made the trip very flexible and left it up to us to decide when and where we would like to trek. Wouldn't have made it to Everest Base Camp without their guidance. We are very grateful. Can't recommend Access Nepal and their staff enough!

Everest Trek Jul 2017 • Family Access Nepal did a great job in helping us to complete the Everest Base Trek. I became unwell towards the end and our guide (Ganesh) helped me through. Sadhana from the company was creating arranging helicopter evacuation. Totally recommend.

ABC! Aug 2017 • Couples Hi, my partner and I have just completed a 10 days trek to ABC through Ghorepani. Although July-August is not exaclty the best season to go (we were aware, however), the trek has been amazing, a truly experience that we will remember for ever. We think that a great part of this success is thanks to our guide Jivan Baram. He did his job perfectly, taking care of us from the first minute at the Kathmandu airport to the last greetings before leaving. He was always present when needed, accurate and kind at the same time. He always made the right decisions whenever we need to change our plan due the weather - rain, usually :) - or our tiredness, tailoring the legs and the breaks on our possibilities (we are not two young super-fit anymore, unfortunately). We immediately understood we would be in good hands with him looking after us. Of course, we can't forget our young and sweet porter Robin for his precious and tireless work. So, for us, Access Nepal is without any doubts to be recommended to anyone who wants to live an experience like this! Thanks again Access Nepal, Jivan and Robin and, who knows, see you again sometimes! Andrea & Silvana

EBC Sep 2017 • Friends Our trekking to EBC with Acess Nepal was amazing. Since the beggning we were perfectly assisted by Sadhanna and during the trekking by Jivan and Vishnu. All the information and assistance were made by them, good hotels and when possible they still tried to find us better rooms with pvt bathroom and shower what was a plus. We have nothing to complain about and I certainly contact then next time.

The landscape reflects the people Jul 2017 • Friends Thank you Access Nepal for the effort and skill that went into making my trekking experience so memorable. From Sadhana's expertise and knowledge back in Kathmandu at the briefing and farewell, (but also the prior communications in preparation) to our ascent up the great Himalayas with our experienced Guide, Ganesh and skillful Porter, Gupal. I am really happy to have met you all and so thankful to have spent my time walking through such a beautiful landscape (even in the monsoon season!) with the team! Nepalese hospitality seems to know no bounds, and this was especially evident trekking with Access Nepal. Everything was planned and considered, which was a real treat. Wouldn't hesitate in picking Access Nepal when I return in the future!

EBC-Everest Base Camp Treck August 2017 Aug 2017 • Solo It was my first experience in Nepal and I perfectly remember that I was completely lost at the beginning of my trip organization. I contacted the Access Nepal Tour & Trekking which through Sadhana strongly support me answering to all my infinite questions and giving me also a lot of suggestions for the perfect success of my experience. The Access Nepal perfectly organized the track taking into account also my needs, selecting one of the best trained and well expert guide of the entire Everest's region, this strongly elevated our tour from human and cultural point of view. Also along the track we were supported and constantly informed about weather conditions and next steps of the track. The experience of EBC change me and me life because the beauty of this wonderful and still uncontaminated country. If i come back again in the Everest region, for sure, I will do through Access Nepal! The best!

EBC – September 2017 Sep 2017 • Solo Recently completed the EBC trek with Access Nepal and what an amazing trip. From the first communications in the planning stages with Sadhana to the farewell dinner I can say that the company was top notch and delivered on everything that was promised. On the trek I felt every comfortable being a solo female trekker with my guide Jivan and porter Deepak and another solo male trekker. Thank you Jivan and Deepak for your knowledgeable, guidance, attentiveness and patience along the trek. If you are planning on trekking in Nepal have no worries Assess Nepal is a GREAT choice! Happy Trekking!

EBC with Access Nepal - September 2017 Sep 2017 • Solo I had the pleasure of trekking with Access Nepal to Mt. Everest Base Camp in September 2017. There are a lot of companies out there offering trekking opportunities to EBC. I selected Access Nepal based on Trip Advisor reviews and I was not disappointed. From the planning stages to my orientation meeting in Kathmandu, my trek coordinator, Sadhana, was always available to answer my questions. She was very helpful and prompt; always getting back to me with answers the next day. Our trek was expertly guided by Jivan. He always kept a watchful eye on us with primary concern for our health, safety and comfort. Every night he laid out the plan for the next day so we knew what to expect and how to prepare. He was also available to us 24 hours a day. Luckily we never had to call on him in the middle of the night although we knew where to find him if we needed him. We were also aided on our trek by our porter Dipak who was always there with a smile despite the difficulty of his task. We even enjoyed his company on our acclimatization days when he could have very easily had the day off. Every day on our trek we were met with soaring, snow-capped mountains, desolate glaciers, towering waterfalls, deep gorges, and rushing rivers. But most compelling to me was the soaring spirit, towering strength and deep work ethic of the Nepali people. Living in harsh conditions in remote, seemingly unreachable places, they are the hardest working people I have ever seen. Theirs is a difficult life. As Jivan put it: “A Nepali Life”. Both Jivan and Dipak exemplified the “Nepali Life” and it was my pleasure trekking with them.

Annapurna Circuit September 2017 Sep 2017 • Solo Hi All, I had the absolute pleasure to do the Annapurna circuit with Access Nepal tours. It was a awesome experience and I cannot wait to come back to Nepal again to do Everest Base camp with them. Most of your administration and tour organisation is all through Sadhana. She is a lovely lady who is very dedicated to her work and the people which chose Access Nepal. The quality of her customer service is equal to her passion. She is very busy, dealing with everyone's tours and also being a full time mother. Other than my email interactions and a few meetings with Sadhana in Kathmandu, most of my time was spent with PN, my guide, and the porter who was supplied to help me along the trek. The Nepalese guides are incredible people. PN made me feel safe and in control of what I wanted to do and see the whole time. I was walking at a faster pace then the schedule so PN gave me a few options on places to stay which did not disappoint. He taught me a lot about the Nepalese culture, language and history along the way. He was very funny and always put my safety and well-being first. I left the tour with 2 very close friends in Nepal and I will forever have great memories of my trekking experience in such a beautiful and culturally in depth country. Thank you Access Nepal. I will be back again soon!

Everest Base Camp Trek With DEVMAN TAMANG !! Oct 2017 • Friends Me and 2 other friends from Canada booked with Access Nepal 4 months ahead of our trip to Everest base camp on October 7, 2017. We had many questions about scheduling our incoming flights and what to bring for the trek, Sadhana helped us out and showed us everything we needed. Due to bad weather at Lukla our flight was cancelled, if we didn't leave the next morning we would not have had time to complete our trek as we only had 3 weeks in Nepal. Our Greatly Gifted Guide Devman got us on one of the first helicopters to Lukla the very next morning. Everything on the trek after that went as planned thanks to Devman. We had a great trip up to the Everest base camp and the top of Kalapatthar making many friends and memories along the way. You pay for a good middle budget company, and you get the best guide that I have ever received for any tour. If you are planning on going anywhere in the Himalayas with Access Nepal I highly recommend that you ask for Devman to be your guide. He will show you the best places, experiences and people, everywhere you go and the best thing about him is that he will get you where you are going for the great views ahead of all the crowd, Every single time. He became a friend to me and my friends that I will be sure to connect with every time I go back to Nepal! To Sum this review up, I recommend Access Nepal for Himalayan trekking and I highly recommend Devman as your tour guide.

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.

Wonderful hosts Sep 2017 • Couples We were recently in Nepal for our second trek with Access Nepal. The service was just as great the second time around, especially as a health issue forced us to change plans, which the company accommodated with aplomb. Our guide and porter, Omprakash Lamichhane and Deepak Magar, were excellent, as was Sadhana Adhikari, who coordinated everything, and helped guide us through the red tape. She even arranged for a birthday dinner and cake! We trekked in the Langtang district, which is still recovering from the earthquake, and is well worth seeing. We will certainly use this company again, and highly recommend them.

EBC / Kala Pattar / Cho La Pass Nov 2017 • Solo Hi, I was traveling alone and was surprised by how well I was welcome by the company. They took care of everything upon my arrival and I just had to go with the flow. It's the best way to enjoy your trip and focus on trekking. My guide Ganesh made me feel confortable the whole time, asking me what I preferred to do. We even changed route on the way on my request and he arranged the whole thing. It's obvious that the guide had a lot of knowledge of the area and therefore offered an outstanding service. I had fruit every night and the accommodations we stayed in were amazing. I actually didn't except as much as this. I would recommend Access Nepal anytime and my guide Ganesh as well. Thanks again for making this trip memorable, I will definitely come back to Nepal for another one!

12 Day EBC Trek with Access Nepal - Oct 2017 Oct 2017 Two mates and i decided to take on the challenge to see Mount Everest via the EBC trail. We trawled through numerous trip advisor reviews and finally chose Access Nepal as they looked to have really good reviews. A few hours after submitting an online query via the Access Nepal website, I was contacted by Ms. Sadhana Adhikari(Executive Travel Advisor). From that point onwards i felt reassured that we had taken the right option as Sadhana was extremely helpful and efficient in providing answers to all questions that I had for her. We decide to book a 12 day trek from Oct 1 to Oct 12 which included all accommodation and meals. The trip itinerary was very well organized and Sadhana stepped us through it in detail to ensure we were all across it. Our guide Dipender and Porters (Hari and Jivan) were awesome. They ensured that at every step during the hike we were catered and cared for. After the evening meals we had fresh fruit and Dipender ensured that we were happy and content. His advice and care was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable of the EBC Trail area and was updating us on names and facts of the beautiful mountains as we trekked through. Meals and accommodation that were included in the package were of high standard. One of my mates succumbed to altitude sickness two days before reaching EBC. Dipender and Sadhana were on top of it all and made all arrangements for evacuation within a few hours. At no point did we feel worried or concerned as we were kept informed of all arrangements. For my mate and I that remained , Dipender monitored us daily to ensure that we made it to EBC without any further issues. His care for us was outstanding. Sadhana , Dipender , Hari and Jivan provided outstanding service and their help and care made our EBC trek experience all the more fantastic. I have no hesitation recommending the Access Nepal company to anyone planning to take the EBC trek. We will be sure to use them in the future for further visits to beautiful Nepal and the magical Himalayan landscape.

ABC Trip: Access Nepal was Perfect!! Nov 2017 • Couples 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. Our guide, Pershotam and porter, Milan were both professional, knowledgeable, upbeat, and very caring. Their command of English was quite adequate. My wife and I have hiked a fair bit in the USA, Canada, France, Switzerland and Norway. The scenery 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. I strongly recommend both Access Nepal and the ABC trip.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Oct 2017 • Couples Absolutely loved every minute of our Annapurna Trek. Our Access Nepal Guide, Puru looked after us so well and changed the pace of the trek as we went along to suit our fitness level and did a great job arranging everything seamlessly. I would recommend Access Nepal for your trekking adventure and look forward to going back again. Lots of pre-trek advice is available and I advise people to ask lots of questions, especially when packing as the time of year you go affects what you really need. We went in early October and it was surprisingly hot. I also recommend flying into Pokhara instead of taking the bus from Kathmandu, even if it is one way as the journey can be very long.

Annapurna Base Camp and More Nov 2017 • Couples My husband and I recently traveled to Nepal with the goal of reaching Annapurna Base Camp. With the help of Access Nepal we were able to achieve that goal. But we were also able to experience so much more. Sadhana attended to our every question and concern before and after the trek. Our guide and porter took care of every piece of the puzzle during the trek. In addition to reaching our trekking goal, we also were able to enjoy a tour of sacred sites in Katmandu, magnificient mountain scenery, and comraderie with our guide and porter that included humor as well as some lessons in the Nepali culture and language. In general, I can say enough about how wonderful Access Nepal made our trip.

ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP TREK - OCT 5 - OCT 19, 2017 Oct 2017 • Friends This has been the most extra ordinary trekking experience for the entire team and specially for me. Access Nepal had planned and executed the entire trek with great precision and finesse Sadhana, Executive Travel Advisor had planned the trek to the last level of detail. She did an exceptional job of evacuating one of our trekkers who had fallen sick and needed immediate evacuation Jivan, our trek guide with his vast experience once again brought in huge knowledge of ground realities. He has excellent execution abilities and could ensure we had everything when we wanted and how we wanted. He was always there watching the entire trek roll out day after day He has abilities to communicate well with all ages and nationalities. Always smiling, someone you would want to interact anytime Porters assigned to us were incredible in what they did. They always ensured we had the right support at all times. They would be ready each day when we wanted them to start and would deliver our loads before we reached. A cheerful lot, more as colleagues Overall a great experience, thanks to the entire Access Nepal team that made it possible

Amazing Everest Base Camp Trek Nov 2017 • Solo I just got back from Everest Base Camp trek with Access Nepal and can only summarize the experience as incredible. From the amazing views to my fantastic guide (Giri Raj Karki) and porter (Dipak Katwal), Access Nepal is a great company to trek with. They take the headache out of everything, provide great lodging and are true to what they promise.Their itinerary worked great for me i had no symptoms of altitude sickness thanks to the tips from my guide and proper rest days. They took as good care of me before and after the trek as much as they did on it, as i had to stay an extra week because of my flight schedule they found me a hotel and made sure i had activities to do during these days. I am already thinking on returning to do the Annapurna trek and i do not see myself doing it with Access Nepal and my awsome guide and porter.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Nov 2017 • Solo I can only describe this an amazing adventure. The 10 day trek passed through landscapes ranging from lush bamboo jungle to high altitude mountain terrain and temperatures from 26c in the lower valleys to -6c at base camp. The locals were friendly and welcoming and views were varied, plentiful and spectacular! The lodges were great meeting places with basic but good facilities and were, for me, a great part of the experience! Our guide was Devman Tamang. What a great guy! I spent a lot of time chatting and having a laugh with Dev and it will remain a memorable part of my trip. He was not only very experienced in the mountains but also knowledgeable about our surroundings and full of good advice. He also went the extra mile for both my fellow trekkers birthdays. We were also accompanied by two great porters in Ram and Sanjay. Both were friendly and funny and a pleasure to trek with. Access Nepal proved to be a great tour provider. Sadhana (main contact) was quick and helpful in answering any queries and both greeted me on arrival and saw me off on departure. I would definitely recommend them and will most likely go back to Nepal with them one day.

Amazing ABC trek Dec 2017 • Couples Amazing trekking organized with Access Nepal. Very nice staff, that was very helpful since the beginning even before arriving to nepal. Optimized the trek to our preferences... Everything went perfectly, and what to say about our guide and our porter... they were simply amazing!! Even managed to organize a small birthday party for me at 3000m. Definitely my recommendation for a trekking in Nepal. Hope to trek with them again... next time to EBC.

One of the best things I've ever done (Three Passes Trek) Oct 2017 • Solo I just felt like going on an adventure and randomly chose this company. I was a little nervous to trek in the Himalayas by myself, but just went for it, and I'm so glad I did. Sadhana, the main point person for Access Nepal, has a good command of English and responded promptly to all of my questions. I felt at ease from start to finish about the whole process of arriving in Nepal, going on the actual trek, and then getting on my international flight to go back home. My guide for the trek, Giri, was fantastic. He was kind, knowledgeable, spoke English, and was patient and also incredibly strong, as was our porter. The Nepali people really impressed me with their fortitude, integrity, resilience, and overall positivity. I came away with a lot of lessons from this trip that I will value forever. One thing that really impressed me was how quickly and how much I felt that I could trust Giri with my well-being. He took great pride in and thus put considerable effort into his job. I'm so glad I went on this trip, and for the record I am a female in my 20s and did this alone. Safe (in terms of people) and amazing! The Three Passes trek is quite challenging though, and I would recommend the Everest Base Camp trek as an alternative for those who want to still see highlights of the Himalayas but have an easier time.

Wonderful Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit trip with Access Nepal Oct 2017 • Friends A friend and I recently completed the Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit 26-day trip with Access Nepal. From the beginning to the very end of the trip our travel advisor, Sadhana Adhikari, proved very helpful with all our many questions. Every detail was taken care of from our arrival in the Kathmandu airport to our final dinner the last night of our stay. We were well taken care of during the entire trek by our guide Om Prakash Lamichhhane and porter Deepak Magar. A good example of going the distance (literally!) to provide for us was on several occasions after completing our day’s trek, Prakash walked a day ahead and back to arrange lodging when it appeared that rooms in tea houses could possibly be filled before our arrival there. We also felt extremely grateful for our superb driver, Prakash Pokharel, who somehow safely maneuvered us on very long and rough drives to a Tsum Valley trailhead and back to Kathmandu. Even the tour day in Kathmandu proved fantastic with our very knowledgeable guide, Kiran Bhatta, who filled the day with wonderful stops and a breadth of information on the culture of Nepal. I would definitely recommend the company Access Nepal; their dependable staff helped us feel that were in great hands for the duration of our time in their country.

Perfect organised Oct 2017 • Solo I did 14-days-tour on EBC. I recommend the well experienced guides, Komar... and porters. Well organised and they have equipment that you can rent if you need. Lodges included food, they always had a menu with a variety of dishes to choose from. Lodges are good although very busy! Visited also museum and monastery. In capital city there is everything to buy on a bargain for trecking! Hotel in city center. Thanks ACCESS Nepal!

Great time learnng about Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. Jan 2018 • Friends My friend and I had a wonderful time learning about Katmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur with our personable and knowledgeable guide, Jeevan, We spent two days visiting all 7 of the Unesco sites in addition to eating great Nepalese food and taking in other sites. We learned so much about the fascinating culture and history of that part of Nepal. Jeevan was flexible and accommodating in addition to being very informative. I would highly recommend Access Nepal!

Everest Base Camp Trek Sep 2017 • Friends Me, my elder brother and friend did a 14 day EBC Trek organized by Access Nepal Tours in September 2017. From the time of booking to departing Kathmandu after the Trek everything was very professionally and well organized. Sadhna and the tour guide Dipendra with his team of potters (Hari & Jeevan) provided excellent customer care and friendly service on the trek. The accommodation and meals were of the best quality available on the trek. Even up to the point where I succumbed to altitude sickness they organized quickly my evacuation back to Kathmandu and hospitalization via helicopter. I intend to go back again and finish my trek with them in not too distant future. I do not hesitate to recommend Access Nepal Tours for anyone trekking the Everest and Nepal region.

Excellent Everest Base Camp trek with Access Nepal Nov 2017 • Couples We had an amazing experience with Access Nepal to Everest Base Camp (EBC) in early November. We selected them based on good reviews and flexibility of the package offered. Sadhana was helpful and always prompt in responding to our queries. The pre-trek briefing in Kathmandu was detailed and allowed us to prepare and pack well for the trek. Our guide Jivan, with his awesome knowledge and experience of the trek had made us feel safe and at always at ease. He was always available when needed and allowing us to set our pace for the trek. We enjoyed his company throughout the trek. Jivan's knowledge and wit had helped us complete the trek without any trouble and at the same time enjoy it tremendously. Kapil, our porter was equally helpful and always smiling despite his difficult job. We enjoyed chatting with him during tea and post dinner on multiple occasions. Both, Jivan and Kapil made our trek comfortable, our minds at ease. Without them we don't think we would have successfully completed the trek and enjoyed it immensely too. We highly recommend Access Nepal for their professional service and response at the planning stage. And support and personal touch during the trek.

Unforgettable family trek - The Annapurna Circuit Jan 2018 • Family My experience …. Imagine a month away from the stress of modern life, where you forget what day of the week it might be and where your only focus is on the absolute magnificence of the towering geography around you and the chats / laughter you share with your family as you walk through one incredible day after another… Our (extended) family of 7 (Aged 18 to 53) were looking for a special trek to do together. Having done many walks, it is an understatement to say that the ACT was extraordinary. Walking up the valleys and across the pass (Thorang La) the landscape was ever changing, breath taking, inspiring, humbling. The walking was tough, challenging but doable and deeply satisfying. This was the first walk we had done where we had guides and porters. I was initially hesitant about how this might work, but I cannot speak highly enough of the great team that looked after us. Jivan (Head Guide), Mahendra (Assistant Guide) and our porters Bimal, Sanjay and Rajen were perfect. Highly competent, knowledgeable, safety conscious but full of fun, they looked after us with professionalism and concern (when needed) for the entire trip. I’m still glowing in the twilight of our walk and thinking about planning the next. I will definitely be using Sadhana and her wonderful team!

Solo 3 day trek and sightseeing in Pokhara and Kathmandu thereafter. Sep 2017 • Solo I had the most amazing experience fulfilling my long term dream of seeing the Himalayas. Sadhana from Access Nepal ensured my trip was well planned and even met me personally before and after the trip. A special note and shout out to my personal guide Mahendra who made sure I made it up to Poon Hill to witness the gorgeous sunrise, at my own pace, and who let me play music along the entire trek to keep us motivated :)) Life long dream a reality now!

Fantastic! Feb 2018 My partner and I recently did a trek to Everest Base Camp with Access Nepal and it was absolutely fantastic! Everything was so easy: from booking to not having to worry about meal payment. Nothing was too much trouble and our communications with the company was very efficient and reliable. A big thank you to our wonderful guide, Kumar, he is highly recommended and really is the best! He provided us with medication, fruit and biscuits each night and a few fun card games to play along the way.
