Nepal Social Treks Review

I’ve just completed the 15 day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Social Treks and can’t praise the company, guide & porter highly enough. My guide in particular, Lhakpa was an absolute star who could not do enough to make the time away as comfortable as possible. Considerate, knowledgeable, funny, kind & inspiring. I genuinely don’t think I could have completed the trek without their support! A lifetime ambition completed thanks :)

Great guide

The Everest Base Camp trek was amazing. Everything was organised for us. The accommodation and food was better than we expected. Our guide Amrit was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He adjusted our trip to follow our pace. When we got sick, he was extremely helpful and caring, and made sure we got the care we needed. We can't wait to return to trek again.

Awesome Annapurna Trek

We were extremely happy with our choice of Nepal Social Trekking for the 12 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek. We were expecting a group, but in the end, it was just my wife and I and Guide Kamal with Porter Nabin. Kamal always seemed to get us the best rooms at the Tea Houses and his knowledge of the trek was outstanding. He assisted and monitored our water intake, food and oxygen stats every day over 3000m, so on the morning we set off for Thorung La pass, we did it with ease. No headaches or any other issues. Our Porter was always very obliging and together they made a great team. Flights back to Kathmandu and other admin didn’t seem any issue. We highly recommend the company

We did the 12 days trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp. It was an amazing experience! The trip is beautiful. Our guide Narayan helped us in every moment to reach the final destination. The porters were very kind. We recommend this experience!

Reaching Everest Base Camp was a dream of mine and this trek was really amazing!! Narayan, our guide, was truly skilled and great company; he supported us even in the most difficult moments. A heartfelt thank you to the porters, who, tireless and always smiling, made our trek possible! Well done, everyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difficulty level of Everest Base Camp Trek?

The Everest Base Camp Journey (EBC Trek) is a tough trek. This excursion, however, does not include any challenging terrain or peaks. The road to the base camp is not paved and may become difficult, rocky, and gravel-strewn. Because the EBC trek is two weeks long, a person with a weak ankle must be cautious in every step. On average, a person with a weak ankle must walk for 5 to 6 hours every day.
However, depending on the season, the route may be coated with ice and snow, making it more difficult than a standard trail. However, if you are already an enthusiastic hiker, this will not be a difficulty. Individuals who are embarking on their first trail trip can also achieve success if sufficient preparation is made before departure.

What is the food like in Everest base camp?

The teahouses of Everest Base Camp serve both Nepali as well as western cuisines. Dal Bhat is by far the most preferred meal while trekking in the Himalayas. However, we serve a different menu each day as per your preference. Here’s the list of foods on the menu of Everest Base Camp Trek:Breakfast: Black tea, milk tea, coffee, porridge, toast with spreads, grain cereal, and eggs (served fried, omelet, or boiled), boiled waterLunch: Chapatis, juice, canned tuna, and meats, fresh fruits, potatoes, cheese and gherkins, vegetable, Dal Bhat, momo, chowmein, pizza, boiled water
Dinner: Dal Bhat, fried rice, soup, spaghetti, steamed vegetables, pizza, fresh apples, salad, tea, boiled water.

Are we in threat of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) while trekking to Everest Base Camp?

The risk factor of acute mountain sickness differs from person to person. Since you’ll be walking up to 5,550m at Kala Patthar, the risk factor will be present. Although, our packages for Everest Base Camp are thoughtfully designed with proper acclimatization days to reduce the chances of altitude sickness. Furthermore, all our guides are certified first-aid responders who will effectively monitor you and help you, if any symptoms are seen. It is recommended to trek at a slow and steady pace, instead of rushing to reach your destination.
