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

Expand all

What is the best time to take on Churen Himal Expedition?

As per the ascending course and the state of the mountain and climate figure, the best time to carry out this Churen Himal Expedition is between April and May in spring and October and November in the fall. The Southwest ridge is considered the best route for you to climb this spectacular mountain.

Am I likely to get altitude sickness on this expedition?

You should be aware. As the elevation on this expedition exceeds 7000m, the possibilities of getting altitude sickness are generally high. You will have less contact with oxygen as you summit the top of Churen Himal. However, we have designed the itinerary in a way that you get a proper time to acclimatize. Our guides have years and years of experience in handling this kind of situation as they are trained well in using first-aid kits.

Plus, our guides will carry emergency oxygen with a regulator and mask while climbing so that you can receive immediate help when you need it. In case your situation gets worse, we will carry out the emergency rescue evacuation as per the company’s rule.

Who will be my guide?

We provide you local guides. On each expedition, our guides have been to the relevant areas many times. All the guides are experienced, flexible, and authorized by the Government of Nepal.

Our guides are professionals on mountaineering with extensive knowledge on the Himalayas, more than 5 years of experience with at least 3 times summit of Mt. Everest and are trained and assessed by the International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA) or Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) with many years of Mountaineering experience in the world’s highest mountains.

What kind of insurance do I need for this expedition?

We recommend you get full insurance that includes travel, medical, and emergency evacuation to avoid unnecessary expenses in case of any unfortunate incident. Choose your insurance wisely, and if you have trouble, we can direct you just to the right one.

Are the guides insured?

Yes. At Nepal Social Treks & Expedition, we make sure all our guides are well insured.

Will we be using tents on the expedition?

As the expedition involves camping for a large part of the days, we will pack tents and mattresses for a well-organized rest.

What kinds of climbing equipment should I carry for this expedition?

For a better experience, you can pack a pair of climbing boots, thermal wear, down jacket, windproof jacket, down pants, waterproof pants, sun cap, balaclava, gloves, sleeping bag, climbing helmet, poles, and a first-aid kit. You can also add extras like a walking stick, pocket knife, and raincoat for extra safety.

How fit should I have to be to go on the Churen Himal Expedition?

You need to have established a proper level of fitness and need to have the prior climbing experience to take part in this Churen Himal Expedition. As you have to walk for 5-7 hours each day on undulating trails while gaining altitude, you should be physically prepared to overcome the challenges of the mountain.

You don’t need to worry! We will guide you thoroughly as to which physical exercise and technique you need to learn.

What about drinking water during the expedition?

We are cautious about your health, so only safe water is provided for drinking throughout the expedition. You can purchase bottled water from the hotels and lodges where we stay. Moreover, it would be best if you can manage the water purifier with you. Besides, you can buy some tablets that help in the purification of water.

What is the climbing royalty for foreign climbers on Churen Himal?

As a foreign climber, you have to pay 500USD as royalty to conquer the Churen Himal in spring. Besides, the costs for the expedition in autumn and winter/summer seasons are 250USD and 125USD, respectively.
