Review

Nar phu valley trek with Kamal guide, perfect!
My partner and I went on a 9-day trek in the Nar and Phu Valley. Our Kamal guide was just perfect! Professional and very nice, he accompanied us along with the porter Prim throughout the itinerary, adapting it to our needs and desires. I don't think we could have fallen into better hands than Kamal, he promptly solved all the little problems we encountered, he was fantastic as was the porter Prim. Amazing experience thank you!



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

Ho prenotato il viaggio dall'italia. C'è stato qualche problema non dovuto all'agenzia perchè non sono partiti voli per giorni per l'everest e loro prontamente hanno sistemato tutto. Narayan, la mia guida e amrit il mio porter sono stati fantastici. Grazie grazie grazie

FAQs about Ganesh Himal Trek
What are the accommodations for this trek?
We will be staying in three-star hotels while we are in the city. Further, into the trek, we will be staying at camping tents. Rest assured, we have ensured top-tier security as well as comfort in any situation. The tents will be on a twin-share basis with a comfortable mattress, so there is no compromise even while we trek into more isolated areas.
Do I need any specific training before going on the Ganesh Himal Trek?
The Ganesh Himal Trek can be quite strenuous at some parts as there are some distinct uphill climbs. As such, previous trekking experience will help you navigate these trails much more easily. This trek is suitable for moderately fit people. Despite this, we will be providing a good pace as well as plenty of stops.
We do recommend some physical fitness prep before your arrival to avoid any overexertion. In case you are suffering from any pre-existing medical condition, we suggest you consult your doctor before picking this trek.
How are the electricity facilities in the Ganesh Himal Trek?
As this is not a popular trek, not all the villages will have the amenities that you may need. We recommend you carry a solar charger for your cameras and phones. If you don't have one, our team will have solar charging for emergencies.
Are there provisions for ATMs or credit cards during the trek?
There are plenty of ATM and credit card facilities available in Kathmandu. However, beyond that, when you venture into more remote villages and higher altitudes, these are going to be scarce to non-existent. We recommend you carry the necessary cash for any purchases in these areas. Additionally, we recommend that you exchange all your foreign currency into local money. As we trek into these villages, you are unlikely to find many places that accept foreign currency.
Do I need to buy travel insurance for this trek?
Yes, we recommend that you purchase insurance in your country before coming on this trek. Nepal Social Treks only covers the insurance for our staff. Please make sure that your insurance covers you for high altitude trekking.
Could I get altitude sickness on this trek?
The elevation on this trek does exceed 4000m. While the risk of altitude sickness differs from person to person, there is still a possibility. However, we have designed the itinerary to make sure you can acclimatize properly. Our guides are certified first-aid responders fully trained to take care of you. Furthermore, our first aid kit is also fully equipped to take care of you. We recommend you maintain a steady pace and keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.
Will I need a porter for this trek?
Porters are optional. If you feel like you need help carrying your bags as you want to focus on the trek and enjoying the view itself, we have them onboard our team. Typically, a porter can carry about 20kg in weight, which includes their backpack as well.
Is it safe to drink tap water during this trek?
As you know, your health and safety is our number one priority. As such, we will ensure clean drinking water throughout the trek. Bottled water is also available for purchase if you wish to carry them on the Ganesh Himal Trek.
We strongly suggest you refrain from drinking tap water as it is likely that your stomach will not have adjusted to the local water just yet. For your safety, only drink bottled water or properly filtered water. Additionally, you should consider carrying water purifying tablets for proper safety.
