    Started badly with being left in the rain upon arrival in Katmandu - then I was told my tour was for two people and not the single person. I'm now dealing with the headache of trying to make a Travel Insurance claim thru their Insurance Partner XCover who are non-responsive - BE VERY CAREFUL OF WHO YOU USE FOR YOUR TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

    Tour operator (Shailesh Pakharel) Tour guide (Bishnu Lamichhane) and Porter (Dick) were excellent. From the moment we arrived in Katmandu they took care of our every need and made sure everything went smoothly. They looked after transport, accommodation, food, answered every question we asked, were very professional and made sure we had a safe and enjoyable trek. I would highly recommend using them if you decide to go on this adventure.

    In the beginning, I signed up for a group but no one signed up for the same date with me so I ended up doing a solo trip to Everest base camp with my guide and also my porter, Mr.Santa. I was a bit worried at first but then I found lots of friends during the trek to EBC. Mr.Santa took great care of me, always walked behind me to check if everything was going well. Mr. Sheilesh came to the airport to welcome me and dropped me off at the airport at the end of the trip. He was also very kind and open to modifying the plan as I requested. I had a beautiful time in Nepal and wonderful experiences during my EBC trek.

    This tour was great from start to finish and Nepal Trekking Routes assisted every step of the way. Even with some flight delays and cancelations getting to Lukla everything afterward was extremely well organized and I was able to make it to Everest Base Camp. Although I was the only traveler on the tour, I enjoyed being able to go at my own pace and had a great guide and porter for the journey. I am very happy I chose to return by helicopter as this allowed for many extra days to visit other places. I reached out in advance of this trip as I wanted so try getting to Chitwan, and sightseeing in and around Kathmandu. All of my questions were answered and I was able to do everything I wanted while in Nepal. I can't recommend it enough to travel with Nepal Trekking Routes!

    Excellent trip to Everest base camp! If you are planning on exploring (the base of) the top of the world -please book with Nepal Trekking Routes. We had a wonderful experience- before we decided to even book our trip the owner answered every question in a timely manner (I asked a lot of questions). We were greeted at the airport and taken directly to our hotel (amazing perk after traveling over 24 hours). Our tour guide Nawin was fantastic, he catered to every request and was an excellent source of information and inspiration (emphasis on inspiration, hiking to EBC was challenging at times). We made it to EBC! Nepal Trekking Routes Really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip- upon our return to Kathmandu they also arranged transportation to the airport and even checked in to make sure we made it back to Miami (excellent customer service). Bottom line we had a magical trip through Himalayas-Nepal trekking routes made it possible!

    Are you thinking about going to the Himaraya tour? If you are, I would definitely recommend you to join this tour. If this is your first time to climb the Himaraya, don't worry. It was my first time, too, but the organizer and guides were very kind and made sure I was doing all right. It was my best moment in my life.

    We booked with Nepal Trekking Routes Treks & Expeditions for the Everest base camp trek with helicopter return and travelled during end of November 2018. From the beginning to the end of the trip, everything was very well planned and we were quite fortunate to have beautiful weather every single day. A fantastic bunch of team and were expertly guided on the trip by our Guide Nawin and the porters. All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime and the helicopter flight back to Kathmandu was definitely a highlight of our trek. I would highly recommend Nepal Trekking Routes Treks & Expeditions and will definitely be using them again. Thank you.
