Best everest Base camp trek May 2018 • Friends We just finished our trek to everest Base camp with Access Nepal, and we couldn't possibly be happier. Everything from planning the trip with Sadhana in the office before to our guide Gamesh through the trip was fantastic. Not to mention our sherpa Kamel who without him the trip definitely would not have been possible. The trip itself is stunning, the trail, mountains and villages along the way make every day exciting and perfect photo opportunities! Generally we walked about 5 to 6 hours a day which was achievable and meant we had plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to explore the local areas. Everest Base camp was phenomenal! Getting there was a dream come true and has only made us want to summit one day even more! Even if you don't have dreams of climbing to the top of everest the base camp is a rewarding and exciting trip all on its own! The views of everest are spectacular especially as the sun rose over casting shadows into the sky! Not only was the trip itself fantastic, my friend had her birthday on the mountain at 5100m and Gamesh was able to arrange a birthday cake and celebrations in the tea house we were staying in making it a birthday never to forget! To sum up the people were friendly and helpful, the trek was unforgettable, the food and accommodation was better than expected and Access Nepal were fantastic! I would and will always use Access Nepal when trekking in future!

Amazing Everest Base Camp trek May 2018 • Solo I have a very nice experience trekking to EBC with Access Nepal! Sadhana answered quickly all questions I asked her and everything we need she provided us. Our team Khiran and Kumar were so polite and took care of us all the time.

Everest Base Camp Trek & Island Peak May 2018 • Couples 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 Prakash picked us up at arrival at Kathmandu airport and Sandhana (travel adviser) ran us 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 our 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.

EBC TREK--Excellent Apr 2018 • Couples Highly recommend Access Nepal Tour & Trekking: two of us did the 14 day EBC trek in April 2018 and it was an excellent experience. I did the EBC 40 years ago and this was a great redux. Ms. SADHAHA ADHIKARI was our initial contact through he reservation process and the initial meeting in Kathmandu. She was great-handled details and questions quickly and to our satisfaction. Our guide DEVMAN TAMANG really made the trek excellent. He was personable (which is nice on a 14 day adventure), had great insight, contacts and top notch navigation skills (the geography, tea houses, routes, remedies for assorted maladies etc.) He made it a priority that we attained our goal of reaching EBC, getting through some rough spots and tough terrain. Be sure to tip the guide and the porter: even though they are compensated by the company, they depend on tips as part of their overall comp (think restaurants in the US.) They worked their tails off in so many ways and since the cost of the trek was very reasonable, adding a generous tip still kept the cost of the trek fair and made a big difference to them. This was a great trip, loved Nepal and thought ACCESS NEPAL TOUR & TREKKING was an excellent firm to work with. Can't wait to go back for another trek. (With Dev as guide, of course!)

Trekking Annapurna Sanctuary May 2018 • Friends Our trip to Nepal and the Annapurna Sanctuary trail was fantastic and a experience of a lifetime!!! Our guide Kumar picked us up from the airport and looked after us wonderfully all the time, especially me because of my age (75). I was the oldest he taken on a trek. This was the hardest walk that I ever undertaken and felt better at the end than the beginning! Thank you, Kumar and the two young porters to make it such a wonderful experience!!! God willing we hope to come back to Nepal in the near future.

EBC WITH DIPENDRA Apr 2018 • Friends I cannot express enough thanks to our guide Dipendra Bikram Budhathoki who expertly led our group patiently and expertly to and from EBC. We were a mix of ages and abilities but throughout Dipendra kept us all focussed, upbeat and looked after so we had a 100% success rate (something that is very hard to achieve with the many unknowns of trekking to 5365m altitude). Whilst others on the trail seemed intent on rushing, Dipendra encouraged us to take it easy and enjoy the amazing scenery so that when we arrived at the lunch restaurants and the lodges each night and he went into overdrive to get our orders/checkin happening we only had to worry about refuelling and relaxing. He was a superb guide and I am certain that our trek would not have been as memorable without him. If you can choose your guide, choose Dipendra.

Access Nepal trek Jul 2018 • Friends Access Nepal was a fantastic company for trekking to Everest base camp. Sadhana, the travel advisor was so kind and so flexible making sure everything worked out well for us. Our guide, Giri was so knowledgeable about the mountain and has been to base camp over 100 times. Our porter was great and very knowledgeable as well. Overall a fantastic experience and would reccomend it if you are considering any travel in Nepal!

Everest Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal Jun 2018 • Friends My son and I went on the Everest Base Camp trek with Access Nepal Tours in early June. Sadhana Ahikari at Access Nepal did a fabulous job arranging all aspects of our trek. The guide and porter they provided did an excellent job making sure we were properly acclimatized as we made our way to EBC. They arranged for great accommodations and meals along the way. They were a wonderful resource for learning about the local culture and provided expert knowledge of the area including it's geography and history. Their expertise and experience was critical to arrange for helicopter flights when we could not go in or out of Lukla by plane due to poor visibility which can be a common occurrence this time of year. We were the first out by helicopter on the day we needed to leave even though there were many groups stranded at the airport. Our trek was physically challenging and a great experience for a father and son to share and I thank Access Nepal Tours for doing a great job.

Poon Hill Trek Jun 2018 • Friends Access Nepal Tour and Trekking were fabulous. Sadhana was very professional and efficient she went out of her way to arrange a car to take us from Pokhara to Kathmandu when our flight was cancelled. I would highly recommend this company, they are honest, friendly and reliable. My son and I are looking forward to booking next years trek with the same company.

Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar Trek Jul 2018 • Friends This trip was absolutely amazing and loads of fun. Sadhana and the Access Nepal crew were so helpful and arranged all the food and sleeping arrangements. They even refunded part of our payment when we had to buy helicopter tickets as our flights to Lukla were delayed. Our guide, Giri, and porter Padam told us all about Nepal and the mountains, were flexible with our trekking itinerary. Best of all they went way out of their ways to get us hot showers. Even though we did the trek during the rainy season, we generally had great weather and still had incredible views of the mountains. 10/10 all in all, would absolutely recommend the trek and Access Nepal.

A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE- EBC TREK!!! Sep 2018 We, siblings comprising my eldest sister, myself and my younger brother just completed EBC Trek with Access Nepal Tour & Trekking on 18th Sept 2018. From the beginning of the enquiry about the treks, Ms Sadhana had been very prompt and she put up an itinerary which suited us best. Even to the day of departing- she communicated with us and answered all our last minute queries. She also assisted in buying the towel for my brother who forgot to purchase it for the trek. Really appreciate all the information, suggestions, and assistance provided by Ms Sadhana. Secondly, our guide, Devman Tamang was an amazing character- he kept boosting our motivation and mind strength towards reaching EBC. He guided us well in terms of food and health. He was there with us throughout the treks and time at the teahouses- sharing tips and information how to safely and successfully trek to EBC. He is a gem- very caring and have a great attitude. He is punctual indeed. We got great pictures of beautiful views early in the morning - his suggestion to wake up early as early morning provide the best view due to good weather. We were fully vegetarian throughout the treks- all the food and drinks were served hot and delicious. Devman has been a superb guide- we will never forget him. Not forgetting our potters- Gopal and Bal Kumar. They were very friendly and helped us out as well. Not only carrying our bags but serving food and accompanying us throughout the trek. We were blessed with wonderful guide Dev and porters Gopal and Bal Kumar. This is our best trip ever as siblings and reaching EBC with these wonderful group of people is truly fantastic. A moment to be cherished forever! Thank you Ms Sadhana, Devman, Gopal and Bal Kumar for a first class service. You all are simply the best!!!

EBC - We Came, We Saw, We Conquer! Sep 2018 This trip was easily the trip of a lifetime for 3 of us siblings consist of my 2 elder sister and myself of cause and it will be quite some time before we stop talking about it!! We have done a lot of travel over the years but the adventures that were found around every corner on this journey to EBC were beyond our expectations and FAR beyond theirs! Firstly, our agent who goes by the name Ms.Sadhana was clearly working behind the scenes throughout our trip. It was obvious that she took everything we told her during our planning stages and applied it to her trip framework, allowing us to get everything we were hoping for of our mindblowing trip to EBC and MORE! Trust me, she is very prompt with her replies and always there to answer every single question. Secondly, our guide, Mr. Dev Tamang, will be legend in our family forever. He clearly took pleasure in showing us what EBC is all about. He ensure that we were safe, well and taken care of and organised us the accommodations and food for us to keep going on daily basis. He is very knowledgeable and very well aware of every nook and cranny en route to EBC. Definitely a motivator and keep on pushing us every single second to achieve our goals and never take his eyes off us. Great work Dev and it's a pleasure to meet such a good soul like you. And finally, our potters Gopal and Bal Kumar. They were very friendly and helped us out as well. Not only carrying our bags but serving food and accompanying us throughout the trek. Selecting a travel agent and advisor can be frustrating and even dicey at times. Not in this case. We could not be more pleased with every component of our adventure and must give this agent, the tour company, the highest marks possible. Thank you!!!

Sep 2018 EBC trek - an adventurous siblings trip whereby myself, my sis & bro - a memorable tale conquering the ever famous world"s highest Mount Everest Base Camp on 13th Sept 2018 (7 days trek up, 3 days down). Access Nepal was a amazing company for trekking to Everest Base Camp. Ms Sadhana the travel advisor was great & professional in providing all the info we need. The trip was stunning, the trails, mountains, villagers & the views along the way was fantastic. We just can't stop taking pictures. Our guide Devman Tamang was absolutely incredibly friendly & extremely knowledgeable of EBC, the trails & food intake (he always ensured our food was on time). Thanks much Devman, you have made my dream & the trek excellent to attained my goal reaching EBC, without you I'm not certain would have made it to EBC with energy to spare. Not forgetting to our super strong porters Gopal & Balkumar, the real heroes. They deserve all the credits as going up & down the mountain with our heavy load bags, really incredible. They both always been positive on the trek with their big smile. This journey comprises of not only test on body strength but self endurance, purity of soul and mind which formed the main contributors to the success of our ad mission. Nevertheless, the trekking with my siblings was full of joy, laughter and creating moments that would be cherished by us forever.!! Thank you Access Nepal Tour & Trekking for the beautiful experience. NAMASTE ! Kamalesh (Singapore)

Annapurna Circuit Trek Sep 2018 • Solo I made the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Access Nepal Company. Before, during and after the end of the tour, Sadhana and my guide Puru were always looking out for me and providing anything I needed. If you like adventure and nature, Nepal is definitely the perfect place to visit. I do not think there is another place in the world that exhibits so much diversity in a single place. Nepal is extraordinary because of the contrasts of vegetation, climates, cultures, architecture, landscape, etc. It is a country in love with variety. I highly recommend going to the Himalayas with Access Nepal by their professionalism and by their budgets. Going to the Himalayas is no picnic. First of all because if you have to carry your rucksack, you will not be able to enjoy it so much, if you don't have that challenge and have also not trained (something that not many people have the opportunity to do altitude) so you can find yourself in an awkward situation. Secondly, altitude sickness. You don't know how your body is going to react, therefore better to be with someone who knows and supports you in case you need it. The rest of the reasons can be cultural because co reps can tell you about history, gastronomy, geography, etc. But in general, all of Nepal is an adventure, from when you put a foot outside the airport... Good Heavens!!! How the Nepalese drive, it seems that there are no traffic rules (I saw in a small roundabout a dummy dressed as a policeman. It doesn't matter if you want to overtake in the middle of a bend) But it is true that the Nepalese never get angry or take offence on the road. Something that I didn't know and surprised me was the different climates. Under 2000 m the climate is subtropical, hot and muggy, and the vegetation is like in a jungle. Between 2000 and 3500 m it is temperate and forested. Above 3500 m is considered high mountain, and the climate can be extreme at any time... After Thorang La Pass the landscape was high desert but with magnificent views. We trekked 15 days... and when I finished I couldn't believe that more than two weeks had passed, it really was like a movie in which we did not have time to realize everything we were living. Thanks to Sadhana, Puru and Dipok...

Highly recommended - Best company to trek with for Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar. Sep 2018 • Friends My wife did plenty of research before booking with Access Nepal as there are hundreds of companies offering similar services but nothing compares to the professionalism and efficiency this company delivers on. The first point of contact was Sadhana who was always on the ball when it came to responding to any queries we had – prompt and to the point. We arrived at Kathmandu and was greeted by our guide Jeevan (Dr JB as we now call him J) and his driver who took us to our hotel for the overnight stay and trip briefing before we flew out to Lukla the following morning. The following morning we were picked up at 5am and were introduced to a fellow trekker Uma (our adopted Asian sister) who was going to join us for the same trip. We all arrived at Lukla Airport and started our trek to Phakding and onwards to Namchee for the first part of our journey where we were greeted by our porters Gopal (Baby G) and Bir - two really nice, funny and honest boys. As our journey started, we instantly bonded like Superglue and within hours we were laughing, joking and pratting around for the whole twelve days – it was more of a road trip on foot with friends that we’d known forever. We even had fellow trekkers on route always envious of the fact that we were always in good spirit and wanting to tag along with us! During the trip we were blessed with excellent weather from start to finish and everything was regimented but also flexible so we could complete the trek in a timely fashion allowing any issues that may arise on route. Our guide Dr JB has done this route countless times, along with Gopal and Bir and they really do know their stuff. They have seen people complete this and also people who think “they” know best, who have not completed this – so the best advice I can give would be to listen to what they say if you wish to complete this trek :) I also wanted to thank Sadhana, Dr JB, Baby Gopal, Bir and Uma for making my wife’s 40th birthday really special on Base Camp by carrying a cake from Labouche and delivering it to EBC in one piece and joining us for photos and a little floss dancing at base camp! One of the best holidays we’ve had with an excellent company. Tips for travellers we learnt: · Just be aware that cost to charge mobile phones/ camera batteries/ charging packs can add up on route to EBC (350 – 1000 rupees per charge) as not all tea houses will have charging points in the bedrooms, so if you are working to a budget, invest in solar panel chargers or buy more battery packs if your life depends on it!! · Hot showers will cost about 350-500 rupee depending on location, but highly recommended not to shower to avoid getting a cold/chest infection. · Water bottles can be up to 400 rupees if you’re in an area where you cant drink local water so just shop around in the village instead of buying from the tea house or use water purification tablets if possible. · Look after your porters and guide and they will look after you! :)

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

ABC Express Sep 2018 • Friends Great experience!! We had less days available in Nepal to go for the standard trip but this Agency, strong of its experience and the experience of his best guide Ganesh, found a way to bring us to ABC in only 6days roundtrip! The trip has been called by Ganesh “ABC Express” :) No any other agency was able to do it!! Of course a bit of fatigue but nothing impossible if you normally use to walk in the mountains. Our guide Ganesh, the porters and all the staff of Nepal Access Tours & Trekking gave us a wonderful present and a great exerience that I think come not so many time in the life. Thabk you again guys!! Davide, David & Alessandro

Annapurna Base Camp express Sep 2018 • Friends At the beginning of September I had the privilege to do the Annapurna base Camp Trekking under the guidance of Ganesh, one of the guide of the Access Nepal Tour agency. Me and my friends have been pleasently surprised by Ganesh's expertise. He helped us to achieve the ABC in less then 6 days, starting from Dhampus. the whole organization of the trekking was really good, we have always found good accommodation and the right places where to eat. strongly recommended.

Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trekking - EXPRESS! Sep 2018 • Friends We come back few weeks ago from a fantastic experience in Nepal with this amazing team. The guide, the porters and the organization all was perfect and flexible according to our timing - we did the ABC trekking round trip in six days instead of standard 9-10 days due to our time constraint. Very good experience and very good atmosphere thanks to this fantastic company. Strong recommended. David

ABC wonderful experience with Acces Nepal Oct 2018 • Couples My husband and I had just returned from Everest Base Camp trek. What a wonderful trekking experience! Sadhana our trip organizer did a fantastic job from start to finish. She takes care of all the details to ensure that we had a wonderful experience. Could not have done it without the help of our guide Giri and our porter Indra. Giri and Indra went above and beyond their call of duties to assist me to negotiate the big steps of the trail.

THE MOST AMAZING TRIP EVER & THE BEST GUIDE SUBODHO TAMANG Oct 2018 • Couples We have just completed the 15 day trek from Lukla to Gokyo Lakes and then through to EBC. From the moment we landed in Kathmandu and were warmly greeted by our guide Subodho on arrival, to the welcome dinner, the seamless airport experience to Lukla (this can be a huge nightmare), the superb organisation at every tea house, to the motivation up every mountain, the expert knowledge of the Himalayas, Buddihsim and Nepali culture - Subodho was absolutely amazing!!! Having never done something like this before, he made me feel incredibly at ease, went out of his way to accommodate all our requests (we didn’t want to stay in one place for two nights and he quickly re-arranged all the tea houses). He had a constant supply of biscuits which always helped too! He knew exactly when to be present and when to leave us be, never making us feel awkward. We ended up spending most afternoons playing cards together! It was such a pleasure and honour to spend the 15 days with him and I couldn’t recommend him enough or the trek!

Gokyo and EBC Trek - October 2018 Oct 2018 I booked onto Access Nepal's Gokyo and EBC trek as a solo traveller and had one of the most amazing times on the tour! We were a very good sized group (3 people) which was a great size and let us walk at a pace that was suited to our needs. Access Nepal were excellent at sorting out all aspects of the trip - arrival/departure in Kathmandu, transfer to Lukla and the trek itself! Our guide Subodh was excellent. He looked after all our needs while on the trek, with clear instructions on the days walking plan and making sure our accommodation was booked and ready for our arrival and making sure we were fed and hydrated at all times. He seemed to have an infinite supply of biscuits at hand for when we needed a little energy boost! I can't recommend the trip enough - it was something that will live with me forever and 15 days of some of the most unforgettable walking ever

Fantastic trek to ABC with the best guide and porter! Oct 2018 • Solo I initially booked onto the ABC trek via an external company in the hope that more people would join on and we would be a large group. In the end, no one else signed up but the brilliant Purushottam (guide) and Madan (porter) were so kind, inclusive and fun that I never felt lonely as a solo traveller! As soon as I arrived at the first hotel in Kathmandu, everything from Access Nepal was fantastic. You could tell it was important to Sadhana and Partap to make you feel comfortable with the plans and well prepared for your trip. They were such friendly faces to be welcomed by and made me feel so at ease and excited about what could be quite a daunting experience. For the trek itself, I can’t stress how helpful it was to have such friendly and knowledgeable people as Purushottam and Madan by my side. Every time we turned up to the guest house, everything was all sorted and made it so easy to relax and just enjoy the trek. I always seemed to have the best room with the best views too which I was very happy about! The guys kept me laughing the whole way; teaching me Nepali words/phrases and trekking songs, informing me of different Nepali customs, and looking out for me when I felt ill/a little sore from all the exercise. I have come away with great new friends and know I will be back for another trek with Access Nepal in the future! Thank you to all involved!

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.

Joke van der Graaf Netherlands Reviews from

I went with Access Nepal for my Everest Base Camp 14 day trek, and I had an incredible experience! From my very initial inquiry, Sadhana was quick to respond and answer any questions. She made me feel very comfortable and connected throughout the entire process, and provided me with all the relevant information leading up to my arrival. When we finally met in Kathmandu to discuss the trek, she was just as friendly and kind and made me feel at ease knowing I was starting the next morning. I was met by my guide Om Prakash at the Kathmandu airport. From there he was with me the entire time as we traveled to Lukla to begin our trek and until I returned to Kathmandu. Om Prakash was an excellent and friendly guide, with so much knowledge of the area, the culture, the route, where to stay and safe places to eat and drink, and he also took the best photos! It was very helpful to have a local speaking guide to handle flight and accommodation logistics on my behalf, making sure I have somewhere to stay and eat every night. Throughout the trek, he managed my health and recommended me the best course of action when I wasn’t feeling 100%. He set the trekking pace accordingly to ensure my best success. Our porter, Bidur, was also extremely lovely during the trek. He handled my things with proper care, always made sure to have it ready on time by the evening, was extremely friendly and nice to talk to, and provided excellent service and companionship. Overall I had a 10/10 experience with Access Nepal: the trip coordinator Sadhana, my guide Om Prakash and my porter Bidur. I would recommend going with Access Nepal if you are looking to conquer the EBC trek or any similar in Nepal!

This was truly a life changing experience. It started with the amazing trek where we were well taken care of and informed by our guide Puru. He made sure we were safe from the beginning to the end. On the final day of the trek we had a ring ceremony amongst the Himalayas. When Zac and I returned to Kathmandu we had a wedding that was made possible by Sadhana and the team at Access Nepal. They made sure the day was so special for us and they thought of so many little details. It was so memorable and so special to be able to share this day. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to trek and have such a truly unique experience.

Overall I had a 10/10 experience with Access Nepal: the trip coordinator Sadhana, my guide Om Prakash and my porter Bidur. I would recommend going with Access Nepal if you are looking to conquer the EBC trek or any similar in Nepal!

We hiked to the Everest Base Camp with Access Nepal and it was the best decision we took. Be it flight cancellations, weather patterns or any change in plans, you will be glad you chose Access Nepal as your trusted partner on your next adventure. Good luck.

This was truly a life changing experience. It started with the amazing trek where we were well taken care of and informed by our guide Puru. He made sure we were safe from the beginning to the end. On the final day of the trek we had a ring ceremony amongst the Himalayas. When Zac and I returned to Kathmandu we had a wedding that was made possible by Sadhana and the team at Access Nepal. They made sure the day was so special for us and they thought of so many little details. It was so memorable and so special to be able to share this day. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to trek and have such a truly unique experience.

Annapurna Circuit Nov 2018 • Friends A fantastic company to book through. Our guide Ganesh and two porters Madham and Subash were excellent. Ganesh's local knowledge throughout the trek was excellent and very accurate. Whenever we asked about a mantra or a mountain, he was quick to tell us about the history and/or height. I would thoroughly recommend Access Nepal for and tour around the Annapurna Circuit.

Annapurna Circuit Nov 2018 Nov 2018 • Friends Myself and 2 friends completed the Annapurna Circuit over November/December 2018. We were in contact with Sadhana from Access Nepal and our tour guide was Ganesh. Sadhana was unbelievably helpful every step of the way, helping us to book bits and pieces as required. Sadhana answered all questions and helped us in our decisions. Along the trek, Ganesh and the porters, Madhan and Subash, were exceptional every step of the way, answering all questions and assisting us when required. Ganesh gave us his undivided attention every step of the way to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable trek. Access Nepal has been amazing from start to finish, in particular Ganesh with his guidance along the way, and we highly recommend them if travelling through Nepal.

Annapurna Circuit Nov 2018 • Friends Overall a very positive experience. At first Nepal was an eye opener to us however once we adjusted to the culture and the facilities the experience began to unfold. The guide on the hike was very knowledgeable and willingly gave advice for the duration of the trek, whether it be information about the sites or options for possible routes along the way. The porters were also fantanstic, really good young men, who were always willing to help. Experiencing the differing climates along the hike was surreal, passing through alpine and tundra climates, followed by a jungle trek. If you are a beginner hiker and a true mountain experience is what you seek, for both beneficial and challenging reasons, then this circuit exactly what you're after and Access Nepal can get you through it all with a good understanding in the end.

Everest region and Gokyo lakes Nov 2018 • Solo The Everest circuit was a great choice and Devman is an excellent guide who goes the extra mile (pardon the pun). Devman was there round the clock for any problems or questions that we had and was very attentive to our needs and to the surroundings. He paid close attention to every detail, our diets, pace, temperature and to the wonderful scenery that provided all the motivation one could need to keep going! He has a wonderful way of inspiring you to go further! Coconut biscuits and pomegranate were amazing. Unfortunately we didn't complete the circuit but I was so impressed by the view at Gokyo Ri and lakes that the well trodden base camp wasn't too much of an omission. The views and personal journey of this trip is unforgettable and Devman knows just how special it is for each individualdespite the many many times he must have covered these paths. Some advice for any future explorers on this trip: do put in the physical training as it will mean your attention is on the surroundings, not your discomfort:). Also do read into altitude mountain sickness and pay heed to what your body is telling you, there's no place for ego in the stunning mountains. An unforgettable experience!

Annapurna sanctuary trek Oct 2018 • Couples An incredible trip from start to finish! Organisation from Access Nepal was amazing, from picking us up at the airport to dropping us off at the end. Our guide Ganesh and our two porters Hari and Subash were very knowledgeable and great company throughout, keeping spirits high during the tougher parts of the trek. I would highly recommend Access Nepal for anyone considering a trip to the Himalayas. We will definitely be booking with them to come back to Nepal in the near future!

Annapurna Base Camp - Excellent service Nov 2018 • Family My son and I took an Access Nepal trek to ABC, and the whole experience was handled very professionally and extremely well organised. Everything went very smoothly and our guide and porters did a great job for us over the 10 days. We extended our stay to include Chitwan National Park, again booked through Access, and these 3 days were also enjoyable and well organised. Why pay thousands to Western tour companies when there are excellent local Nepalese options where the money stays in Nepal and support the local economy?

Everest Base Camp Dec 2018 • Friends We could not fault the service we received! Our guide Sub and two porters made us feel safe and well looked after. We had the most fantastic time and couldn’t recommend Access Nepal enough.

Everest Base Camp Trek Dec 2018 • Friends Wow what a trip! From the start Access Nepal were extremely helpful in communicating with us about our upcoming trip. We arrived a day early and late at night to Kathmandu airport with an Access Nepal employee waiting for us to take us to our hotel. Sub was our amazing guide, could not fault him at all, he looked after us 100%. Even the other trekkers were jealous of our guide and company! We felt safe and in good hands the whole 14 days. The tea houses Sub chose were also clean and comfortable with great food. The porters that came with us were also incredible. I would definitely recommend going through access nepal for your trek in nepal! Thankyou Access Nepal and Sub for a trip of a life time!

Annapurna Base Camp Oct 2018 • Solo So I signed up for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek and it was an amazing experience. First of all, all the administrative stuff was handled amazingly. I was in touch with Sadhana, who answered all my questions (and there were a lot) with a lot of patience. It all went very smoothly. The trek itself was beautiful, the changing vegetation was an amazing experience. You start in the jungle and work yourself up to snow and stones. I have the admit, that it was harder than I thought, but definitely manageable as you do a break to acclimatize. Apparently people are doing it in two weeks, but I would definitely take the option of access nepal and do it in more days as you want to enjoy the scenery to, not just run the trek. The porters and the guide were fantastic, I really didn't expect that they go the extra mile every day. As the guide plays a major role in the trek, some more words about Ganesh: He was fantastic! Not only is he knowledgeable, doing this treks so many times he knows every stone, every teahouse and every person on the trek, also his attitude was amazing. He is really a great person, always laughing, always joking a really warm human being. I can absolutely recommend him. It was a great experience doing this and the organization was spotless. Access Nepal delivered what was promised. They are a slightly bit more expensive than other companies, but keep in mind that this is a lifetime experience. I doubt, that I will do the same trek a second time. Therefore its totally worth it to pay a little bit more (and we are really talking about a marginal sum and have a great organization so you can focus on the trek. I will definitely come back and do the Everest base camp with Access Nepal!

Fantastic ABC trekking with Ganesh! Dec 2018 • Solo I’ve done a trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with Access Nepal Tours (15 days tour - trrrekking for 10 days). The company is really professional and Pratap (office) helped me out with many questions and preparation beforehand; fast, clear and very helpful! Ganesh was my trekking guide. You can tell he has lots of knowledge about the area and a lot of experience with trekking. He really loves the mountains and is so passionate about it, really great to see. Ganesh really made my trip so wonderful!! I was a bit nervous if I was able to finish this trek, also with the high altitude in mind. But Ganesh guided me so well that I didn’t even have any problems with the high altitude! He’s always happy, smiling, helpful; just a lovely person:) and a real Yathzee king haha During the trekking you cross many villages while making your way to ABC. ABC was amazing, very very beautiful!! The tea houses were good with all (except for ABC) a warm shower (great after a long trekking day!). Also the food was really great at the tea houses. All together I could definitely recommend Acces Nepal tours and Ganesh as a guide. A great trekking tour I won’t forget :)
