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 :)

EBC by Gokyo

If you are planning to do the EBC, the Agency should be Nepal Social Trek and the Guide should be Santa Thabir Magar. Permanent communication during trekking and excellent coordination at all times. The alternative I recommend is Gokyo. Something heavier than the classic, but definitely extraordinary. Also the views of the great mountains during the circuit, are not to forget them

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.

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!

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!

Is Annapurna the hardest mountain to climb?

Mountaineers around the world consider Annapurna as one of the toughest mountains to climb. That’s mainly because of its narrow and steep terrain, extreme weather conditions, high risk of avalanches, and the high fatality rate. However, there have been 191 successful ascents to date. A recently discovered route is now the safest recommended route.

How long does it take to climb Annapurna?

As Annapurna lies in Nepal’s central north region, it is easier to reach the basecamp from the capital compared to other expeditions. Including the trek to reach the basecamp, climbing Annapurna takes around 45 days. If you exclude the trekking part, the actual climbing days are about 28-30 days.

What kind of preparation is needed to climb the Annapurna?

Climbing Annapurna requires sheer determination and skill as it is the most challenging mountain on Earth. Physical fitness is a must. Climbing skills of both ice and snow is equally important. Likewise, previous experience of climbing an 8000m peak is also essential to understand the weather conditions of the mountain and plan accordingly. Most importantly, having prior experience is vital to understand the unpredictable nature of this mountain.

What makes Annapurna different from the other mountains?

Annapurna massif is a massive mountain range stretched up to 50 km with more than 30 6000m peaks. Annapurna I, which is the major peak, is 8091m tall. Its south face is a long rocky stretched wall up to 3000m. Since the other faces are prone to avalanches, the south face is the safest but extremely challenging. Mountaineers claim it to be the toughest mountain to climb.
