Bardia National Park is the largest park in the lowland Terai covering an area of 968 sq. km. The park situated in Nepal’s Western Terai was established to protect representative ecosystems and conserve the tiger and its prey species. Initially, a small area was gazetted as the Royal Karnali Wildlife Reserve in 1976. When this area was protected, approximately 1500 people of the Babai valley were resettled outside the park allowing the vegetation and wildlife to flourish. In 1982, it was renamed as Royal Bardia Wildlife Reserve, and in 1984 it was extended to its current size. The reserve was given the status of a National Park in 1988.

Our EBC experience
Our experience in Nepal was amazing from airport pickup to hotel and our first day city tour. 2nd day we flew to Lukla airport with our guide Ramji to start our EBC trek. Ramji is the best guide for EBC with more than 25 years experience. For a few days my friend and I weren’t feeling so good with a cold and he took care of us by giving us herbal teas. We had 4 days of snow storm in the last bit before reaching base camp and nearly didn't manage to finish our trek due to paths closed with the severe storm. He however, promised us to reach base camp despite snowy and crucial conditions and gladly, we were the first to reach base camp that day!! Other guides were turning back with their groups, however not our Ramji. We are forever grateful to him that we managed to reach base camp and that he never gave up. Ramji has good english which makes it easier to communicate. He is truly a kind gentleman. I highly recommend Nepal Social treks & expeditions with Mr Ramji Darji as yr guide.
An Unforgettable Annapurna Circuit Adventure with Nepal Social Treks! ❤️
Our nearly three-week Annapurna Circuit trek was an incredible experience, made truly special by the wonderful team at Nepal Social Treks. A huge shout-out to our guide, Bishnu ji, who became one of us! His warmth, hospitality, meticulous planning, and flexibility made all the difference. He navigated weather challenges, kept us motivated through the toughest stretches, and went above and beyond to care for us. We’ll never forget him offering his own gloves when my husband’s fingers were freezing during the Tilicho Lake hike. That’s genuine care! Mr. Basu, the owner, also deserves special appreciation for spending so much time with us over international video calls, helping us navigate uncertainties around Nepal’s recent natural disasters. His genuine, transparent answers and thoughtful guidance gave us great confidence even before the journey began. Our wonderful porters, Suman, Lal Bahadur, and Nabaraj, were equally caring and hospitable. Special mention to Nabaraj for his sheer grit in volunteering to carry bags on the demanding Tilicho Lake hike and his attention to every little detail. Behind the scenes, the team worked tirelessly to manage multiple itineraries, flight rescheduling, transportation, and hotel arrangements. Their coordination, flexibility, and prompt service were exceptional. Kudos to Samjhana ji, Susheela ji, and the entire support crew! This was much more than a trek—it was an experience filled with beautiful memories and wonderful people. We wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Social Treks to anyone planning an adventure in Nepal. Thank you, Mr. Basu, Samjhana ji, Susheela ji, Bishnu ji, Suman ji, Nabaraj ji, and Lal Bahadur ji. You made this journey truly special. Exceptional people, exceptional service, unforgettable memories. We will be back! ❤️
An extraordinary experience with Nepal Social Treks & Expedition.
I did the trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar with them in October 2026, followed by the ascent of Island Peak (Imja Tse, 6,189 m), whose summit I reached on October 18, 2026. The summit push was made directly from Base Camp, leaving at approximately 11:00 PM on the 17th and reaching the top around 7:30 AM on the 18th. From the beginning, the organization was excellent: transfers, domestic flights, accommodations, trekking and climbing logistics, as well as the service received both in Kathmandu and later in Pokhara. I want to especially highlight the work of my guide, Ramesh Tamang, who accompanied me throughout the entire trek and also during the ascent of Island Peak. His experience, professionalism, judgment, and support were fundamental, especially during a very demanding summit day. I also want to especially thank our porter, Shanta, for all his extraordinary help and work. I have practiced mountaineering for many years and I especially value safety, experience, and the ability to make good decisions at altitude. At all times I felt well accompanied. I return to Spain with the satisfaction of having achieved a very important goal for me and with magnificent memories of Nepal and its people.
We had a great experience with Nepal Social Treks on our EBC trip. They handled all the planning and logistics etc and it all went smoothly. Our guide Krishna was excellent, very experienced and made it a very comfortable trek. Would highly recommend.
Good experience
