Thankyou to our to our fantastic tour guide Sanjay! Sanjay has a comprehensive knowledge of the Everest Base Camp Trek and the Sagarmatha National Park and surrounding areas. He is very professional and had a friendly personality. Our tour group was always kept up to date on where we would be trekking each day, time frames and weather forecast. He made sure the trek ran smoothly. The scenery along the whole trek was amazing, you can never have too many photos to look back on. Our trek was cancelled when we were two days from Base Camp, so we were very disappointed, but Sanjay got us safely back to Kathmandu as quickly as possible. This was due to Covid19 pandemic restrictions and borders soon to close. This is a holiday that we will never forget, Thankyou to our two hardworking porters, Bhekraj and Kalu, we couldn't have managed without you! If you want a challenging and inspiring adventure, with a supportive tour guide I can recommend it 100%!

I was blessed to encounter Nature Trail in order to do the trek I wished. Since the first moment they tried their best to fulfill my wish, and this was to do the three pass trek in the Khumbu region. I immediately told them I had a problem, and this was the short time. In fact I only had 13 days to do a trek that usually takes around 15 to 17. Without any hesitations they asked me how I felt, if I was fit and if I thought I could skip some steps in order to make my wish come true. While still in Kathmandu I met with the manager Bishnu in order to organize the trip to the best of my needs and he was extremely understanding and helpful. The guide that I walked with was Dhruba, an experienced, capable and fantastic person with extensive knowledge of the region. He was always making sure of my conditions and asking me if I felt like walking this much and arrive to this destination. It wasn't sure until day 13 which was the path that we were going to do, it was personalized according to my well-being and desires every day. During the trek some really big blisters came to my ankles but the guide was fully equipped to medicate it and after to put band aids and other bandages to prevent it from hurting while I walked. At the end I managed to do the whole three passes in the 13 days, but this was only possible thanks to the guidance of Dhurba. He also has extensive knowledge on the mountain names, the local culture and the area you are walking in. You are not going to miss out on anything!!! So what are you waiting for, contact Nature Trail to have an amazing experience!

We had a wonderful experience with Himalayan Social Journey. They were extremely helpful in helping us organize our visit and visas for Nepal. Our wonderful driver Dilip was waiting for us at the airport upon arrival to bring us to the accommodations they had organized for us. We did a lovely day tour of Kathmandu and enjoyed our tour guide Dip very much. The Everest plane tour was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Every part of our journey was seamless and pleasant thanks to Himalayan Social Journey and their wonderful employees. They were even kind enough to organize a covid test for us after the tour before our return home. Everyone made us feel welcome and at home. Nepal is truly a unique and wonderful country and their hospitality was touching. We can not wait to return for another tour.
