    Appalling!!! Unfortunately I can’t give 0*. Local operations couldn’t tell the truth if their life depended on it. Go to the Himalayas and experience alpine beauty. First 4 nights staying in tents in a paddock in full sun, temperatures 30+, nowhere to shelter, incessant dog barking during the nights, cook was the only good thing. Nepal management cancelled the trek and 2 days later I have received no notice and no communication of the change to arrangements ie everything is now my cost… Accom, food, airport transfers etc. I’m still finding things I’m now responsible for. Zero communication. Even told it was my fault for organising flights the day after the scheduled finish date!! Not only was I dumped in a foreign country with no communication but I had acquired Covid and a few nice words was my prize for acquiring it. They kep lying say follow these rules… when there were no rules. DO NOT USE WORLD EXPEDITIONS in Nepal. WEX head office has no empathy. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

    Overall, the trip matched the itinerary well, so potential travelers have a good idea of what to expect. The rating of 5 for activity level is accurate in that the trek is physically demanding, but doesn't require much (if any) prior training for the average fit adult. However, it does take an enormous amount of willpower to keep going through illness (everyone on the trip got gastro at some point), lack of sleep due to the high elevation, sore feet, etc. If you're up to the challenge, Bhim and Narayan-our guides-were incredible and truly made the trip!

    I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience the post card beauty of Nepal and the challenge of reaching the base of the world's most famous mountain. Tikendra and his team did an amazing job looking after our group and catering to the individual needs of trekkers whenever a personal issue arose. I decided to go with World Expeditions for two reasons, one was length (a lot do it quicker and that is not the best way to do high altitude treks) and second because I was travelling solo. Best decision I have ever made! The permanent camps are better than most of the tea houses, the food is consistent and safe as the same people cook for you each night. I couldn't think of a better way to experience this fantastic part of the world.

    I would definitely recommend this tour/or tour group for any of your future adventures. If you have any inclination to visit Nepal, just do it. This country is full of wonderful scenery, honest people and plenty of photo opportunities. Our fantastic guide, Juddah Rai, was always focused, full of knowledge and a wonderful bloke. Well done World Expeditions for employing such remarkable people.

    Best experience I have ever had. I will not try to describe it as it can only be experienced. As promised WE looked after us very well. Guides were awesome. Our chef Mila trekked all the way with us.Hot cordial before a meal was so refreshing. Food was mostly organic. Due to the bowl of water we got every morning and evening, our group looked much cleaner than the rest of the travellers. If you are prepared mentally and physically all you need is WE to organise everything else for you. Do respect the land. I came back like a winner.

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • Has altitude sickness prevented hikers from reaching base camp?

      The trek allows ample acclimation so we don't really hear of anyone not making it to base camp. We have rest days, we walk high & sleep at lower altitudes to help our bodies adjust. The aim is for you to have an enjoyable experience & not for it to be a race. There is plenty of water provided also & it's really important to be well. All of these things will help.

    • What are the accommodations like?

      For this tour there are will be 3 nights in a hotel, 10 nights
      in a private eco campsites and 3 nights in an eco lodge.

    • Is this trip available in September?

      The operator does not run any treks during the monsoon which lasts from about May to September.
