    · March 10th, 2020
    My experience trekking EBC was the adventure of a lifetime thanks to Himalaya Heart Treks and my guide Arjun! He always prioritized my safety, always made sure I was feeling good, and booked the best guesthouses who treated me like family. Arjun helped carry my belongings and taught me about Nepali culture and language during our walks. Communication was thorough, airport pickup/drop off was seamless, and I always felt like I was in good hands, as this was my first major trek. Hari even helped me get my equipment ready in Kathmandu before departing to Lukla. Overall, I would recommend Himalaya Heart Treks to anyone looking to experience the beautiful Nepali culture and the most beautiful scenery in the world with experienced guides. I had an amazing time, can’t wait for the next one!

    I had a really good time on my EBC trek, my guide Arjun was very helpful, as he helped carry some of my things and told me exactly what was needed as we climbed up. He even paid for my lunches and dinner on the road, and I paid him back at the end of each day to make it easier for me. It was a tiring journey and quite cold at night, but I was very lucky with the weather being clear the whole time, so I had an amazing view of Everest. I highly recommend booking with Himalaya Heart Treks & Expeditions as they make everything easy and convenient, such as airport pickups and accommodation in mountains.

    (Everest Base Camp) The trek was challenging, however it was very rewarding. The scenes are amazing throughout the entire trek, only getting better each day. We went during off-peak time (early December), so it wasn't as packed as most other times. Above all, our guide, Dripendra, was beyond amazing. He catered to our pace, whether it be faster or slower, educated us about difference sites along the trek, and was very enjoyable to hang around.

    My mother and I just got home from a 2-week trip to hike the Everest Base Camp track. We were guided by Hari, who came strongly recommended via multiple reviews online and was just as fabulous in person. From touching down in Kathmandu, the team at Himalaya Heart were waiting for us with Marigold flowers to show us some true Nepalese culture. Our first day we were taken around Thamel, to ensure we had all the equipment required. We did bring most things as described on the packing list given to us before departure however it was handy to go around with our guide to make sure we had the final things before we departed. From the morning we left out hotel, our guide Hari, constantly made sure we were comfortable and well informed on what was going on ahead of us. We were fortunate because they managed to organise us a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla, ensuring we had a safe and easy trip up the hill. Each night our accommodation provided to us along the trek was fabulous, with Hari continuously ensuring we have the best options provided to us. Upon mealtime, he would also check with the chef's at each hotel to see what produce was the freshest to ensure we were always eating quality and healthy food. Over the course of the next 8 days, we trekked from Lukla to EBC while maintaining a solid pace and feeling very strong. The guidance provided to us from our guide Hari definitely helped us achieve our goals of reaching base camp. If you are contemplating booking with Himilaya Heart Treks, I would strongly consider you do because my mother and I cannot recommend them strongly enough. Thank you for making the trek one we will remember for a lifetime.

    The trek itself was amazing and was made much better with Himalayan Heart. Everything was perfectly organised and put in place prior to our arrival for example to the tea houses. Arjun was an excellent guide who is friendly, prepared, professional and an absolutely pleasure to have done the walk with. Hari took us out for dinner after we had gotten back from the trek to see how things were and see if we wanted to do any more activities during our time in Nepal (we opted for white water rafting). Big shout out to Ram too our porter whom always had a smile and arrived to our next destination much earlier than us! Couldn’t recommend Himalayan Heart enough and I am keen to go back to Nepal with them!

    So pleased to have found Himalaya Heart and based on feedback on sites like this chose them for our trek. We could not have been better looked after from start to finish, proved to be such a good decision to use this local business run by guides rather than one of the big companies. It was just myself and my son and we wanted to go ourselves rather than in a big group. Thakur was responsive and helpful with Emails before the trek which helped us with planning, what kit to bring etc. We were met at the airport by Milan and from that moment Himalaya Heart looked after us perfectly. Our guide Arjun I had already read the great reviews of, and he was fantastic, we had total faith in him and he made the trip run so smoothly. He was our guide, companion, cards and chess opponent, waiter, doctor and always had the next leg planned and teahouse booked. He looked after me when I got sick at Lobuche and altered our plans so that we took a rest day there to recover, and then did Kala Patthar in a day and back from Lobuche meaning we had the summit to ourselves, which was simply magical. Our ever smiling porter Ram (or Super-Ram as we came to describe him), was brilliant also, always beating us to our destination despite carrying both our duffle bags. Amazing respect for these guys. At the end of the trek Hari took us out for dinner in Kathmandu which was a very nice touch. We had some time left so booked a White Water rafting trip through Hari which was perfectly organised too. Milan, who had met us at the airport on our arrival, also took us to the airport when the time came to leave. Never I have had such amazing customer care, and am so happy I chose to support a local growing business run by guides, I wish them all the success they deserve, and when we return we will for sure be booking with them again. My son wants to bring his mates back and do Island Peak, and I may see if I can persuade my wife to come and do the Annapurna Panorama trip (Hari's recommendation). For a first time visitor to Nepal all I can say is I am so pleased that we went, it exceeded all my expectations, and Himalaya Heart made it so easy (well, apart from walking up the big hills, that bit was still hard).

    We had an excellent trek to Everest Base Camp and fly out Helicopter from ghorepche in April with Hari. He was very attentive and ensured our comfort and safety throughout the trek. He provided information and facts about all areas we visited and was happy to answer all of our questions before and during the trip. He made sure that the whole trip ran smoothly with no issues for which we are very grateful! He ensured that we trekked at a suitable pace to allow for acclimatisation and included good hikes on acclimatisation days to help with this. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would be happy to recommend Hari and Himalaya Heart to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal. JohnG

    Our guide Arjun was excellent throughout our time on the mountain. His constant good form was refreshing especially as the trek got more difficult in places. His knowledge of the area and trekking in general was also very good. I would recommend Himalayan Heart highly and hope you are lucky to get Arjun as a guide.

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • What cultural differences should I be aware of when visiting Nepal

      As a multicultural country, Nepal respects people of all faiths, creeds and cultures and definitely expects the same from the visitors too. There are no such restrictions or limitations on your activities, except those considered illegal and immoral. That being said, public displays of affection are somewhat unacceptable in Nepal, and in order to feel comfortable and attract fewer stares, females may wish to wear long sleeves, especially in more remote areas.

    • Can I pay by card in Nepal?

      Most places in the city will allow you to pay by card, however, there will usually be a surcharge of around 4% on top of your billed amount.

    • Can I withdraw money from ATMs in Nepal?

      ATM counters are relatively common in cities and will incur a charge of about 4 USD per transaction.

    • Can I exchange other currencies in Nepal?

      Nepal Rastra Bank decides the exchange rate, however, when you exchange the currencies in a money changer, you will get lower rates than those listed on the bank’s website.

    • What currency is used in Nepal?

      Nepal uses Nepali Rupees. 1USD will be more or less equivalent to 100 Nepali Rupees, however, exchange rates fluctuate every now and then.

    • Where will we eat in the mountains?

      As this is a group trekking adventure, everyone will eat together. Breakfasts and dinners will be provided at the guesthouse and lunch will be taken along on the trek. Breakfasts are included in Kathmandu, however, lunches and dinners will be left up to you. There will be plenty of opportunities to find good places to eat.

    • How do you allocate rooms for the trip?

      This tour runs on a twin sharing basis. Solo travellers will be roomed with a fellow group member of the same gender, and if this option is not available then you will have a room to yourself. To guarantee a private room you will need to select the single supplement option for an additional cost. Please note that single supplements are only available during city stays.

    • Can you tell me more about the accommodations?

      While in the cities you will be staying in good tourist class hotels, with the option to upgrade for an additional cost. During the trek, the group will be generally accommodated in basic guesthouses. Some of the trekking routes in the Everest and Annapurna regions also have luxury lodges that you may choose to stay in for an additional cost. Please contact our Travel Experts to arrange this.

    • Do I have to carry my own luggage?

      There will be supporting staff members to carry your luggage in the mountains and you will have a porter between two people. Please remember to pack as lightly as possible for the mountain. Items not needed for the trek can be kept in the hotel. All you will need to carry is your daypack with essentials such as drinking water, energy bars, sun cream, camera, and any other stuff that you will need during the day

    • Do you provide an equipment/gear list?

      As this is an adventure trekking tour, you will need to have the proper trekking gear. A comprehensive gear list will be sent to you after you book the trip, and we highly advise making sure that you have all the necessary equipment.

    Can’t find the answer to your question?
    Reach out to the experts at Himalaya Heart Treks & Expedition[P] Ltd with your enquiry, they usually respond within 1 day.
