What people love about Himalaya Mountains Tours from Kathmandu
- Annapurna Sanctuary Trek (for beginner and elder trekker)
The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek with Peregrine Treks was an incredible experience for a beginner like me. The knowledgeable guides made sure I was comfortable and took breaks when I needed them. The views along the way were breathtaking and the accommodations were cozy. I highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for a challenge and a chance to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
The 12 day Everest Base Camp Trek organized by Mount Adventure Holidays was an incredible adventure. Everything was very well organized - from airport transfers, hotel accommodations in Katmandu, flights to/from Lukla where we began our trek, etc. Our guides on the trek were incredible - extremely knowledgeable, friendly, organized, detail-oriented and took great care of us. We were only 2 of us, and our guides made sure that both did well and enjoyed the challenge of the trek. I would highly recommend using Mount Adventure Holidays for your visit to Nepal. The Everest Base Camp Trek is well worth the effort and it was a journey of a lifetime. I will be using Mount Adventure Holidays on my return visits to Nepal.
Everest Base Camp Trek 12 days
- Everest Base Camp Trek – 16 Days with Extra Free Days in Kathmandu
Just came back from an amazing and once in a lifetime trek to EBC with NHT! As a solo traveler in her 20's I always felt taken care of and in safe hands upon arrival to Kathmandu all the way through my return to the airport. Ganga was always very prompt and professional with my questions before my departure and very helpful and hospitable while in Kathmandu. I loved the fact that our hotel in Kathmandu was a quick walk away from the famous Thamel shopping area! Deepak was my guide on the trek and I couldn't have imagined anyone else better for me! He was very fun, cracked jokes, and always tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible. But, more importantly, he ALWYAS made sure I was feeling well and taken care of on the mountain. Always asking how I felt during and after the days trek to make sure I wasn't in any medical danger. When I did get quite ill from the altitude Deepak had medication to help me I had a great experience with NHT and would book with them on my next travels to Nepal!
