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!

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions): Your Questions Answered

What is the best time to visit Kailash Mansarovar?

The best time to go on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is from May to September. During this time, the weather is mostly steady and the mountain passes are open. For this trip, we suggest going from July to September because it matches our set departure schedule. We also have special departures on full moon days, which many believe bring more spiritual benefits.

Is the Kailash Parikrama difficult? What kind of physical fitness is needed?

The Kailash Parikrama is from medium to hard in difficulty. This is because of the high altitude and uneven land. Even though the helicopter route lowers the physical effort, the trek goes above 5,600 meters in height. It is very important to be in good health, have some basic fitness for your heart and lungs, and be mentally ready. It is best to practice daily walking and breathing exercises for at least 1 to 2 months before the trip.

What documents are needed for a Tibet visa for Indian pilgrims?

If you have an Indian passport, you will need these documents:

A scanned copy of your passport that is valid for at least six months after your travel date

Four passport-size photos with a white background

A medical fitness certificate, which is required if you are over 70 years old or have health issues

A marriage certificate if the surnames of you and your spouse are different

Our team will take care of the entire visa and permit process. We work with officials in Nepal and Tibet to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Is travel insurance necessary for the Kailash Yatra?

Yes, travel insurance is required for this Yatra. It must cover high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation. These are not included in the trip package. The insurance will protect you financially in case you have medical problems, flight delays, or sudden cancellations.

What kind of food is served during the Yatra, especially in Tibet?

During the Yatra, we provide only vegetarian meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. An Indian cook prepares the food, so it is familiar and clean. While doing the Parikrama, you will get packed vegetarian lunches each day. This helps keep your energy up and helps your stomach handle the high altitude.

Are there ATMs or places to exchange money in Tibet during the Yatra?

ATMs and card payments are very rare in western Tibet. It is very important to carry enough Chinese Yuan (CNY) cash for your personal expenses. The best place to exchange money is before entering Tibet, in Nepalgunj or Kathmandu.

What facilities are available at Dirapuk and Zuthulphuk during the Parikrama?

At Dirapuk and Zuthulphuk, the guesthouses are simple dormitory-style. They offer just basic shelter and a place to rest at the high altitude. There are shared rooms, and electricity or running water is limited. Although these places are modest, they are in the right spots to help you focus on the spiritual side of the journey, not on comfort.

How are emergencies handled, especially medical ones, at high altitude?

Our team carries:

First-aid kits and portable oxygen tanks

Guides trained in handling emergencies at high altitudes

Satellite phones to communicate where there is no mobile signal

Plans to evacuate you to lower places or by helicopter if needed (insurance must cover the cost)

You will never be alone. Our staff is ready for any emergency.

Can older people or those with health problems join the helicopter Yatra?

Yes, the helicopter route is very good for older people and those who cannot handle long overland travel. But if you are over 70 years old or have health conditions, you must have a medical fitness certificate from a doctor. Our team will review your documents and decide if you can join.

What is the meaning of a full moon departure for the Kailash Yatra?

A full moon at Lake Mansarovar or Mount Kailash is seen as very special and lucky. Many pilgrims believe the spiritual rewards, purification, and blessings are stronger during the full moon. Our trips in July, August, and September include special full moon departures, which are often fully booked early because many people want to go at this time.
