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 (FAQs)
What is the best time to take on the Paldor Peak Climbing Expedition?
The best time to carry out this Paldor Peak Climbing Expedition is between April and May in Spring and September, October, and November in the Autumn. The Northeast and Southeast ridges are the best routes for you to climb this stunning mountain.
Who will be my guide?
At Nepal Social Treks, we offer you some of the experienced local guides. Our expert guides have been to the relevant trekking and climbing areas several times. All the guides are docile, experienced, and authorized by the Government of Nepal.
Our guides are expert mountaineers with a vast knowledge of the Himalayas. They have more than 5 years of expertise in ascending Mount Everest at least 3 times. Besides, they are well-trained and assessed by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) or the International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA), with many years of mountaineering and climbing experience in the world’s highest mountains.
What is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)? How can it be treated?
Acute mountain sickness is a critical health effect of high altitude prompted by your body’s reaction to a shortage of oxygen. The volume of oxygen available at sea level is twice that contained at 5000m above sea level. Your body requires enough time to regulate your breathing to a higher altitude. You normally encounter the effect of the high altitude above 2800 meters.
To prevent AMS, you need to acclimate your body when trekking to higher altitudes. Moreover, you should intake enough fluids and immediately rest when you feel tired and dizzy while walking.
What are the symptoms of AMS?
The primary symptoms of AMS include headache, nausea, loss of appetite, cough, and fatigue. If you feel any of these symptoms, take rest and halt your adventure for that day. If your health is getting more serious even while resting, return to a lower altitude. You should take proper rest until you feel okay. You can always abandon your expedition if you are feeling unwell. Let your guides know if you are having issues during the expedition and act on their advice.
Am I likely to get altitude sickness on this expedition?
As the elevation on this expedition exceeds 5500m, the possibilities of getting altitude sickness are generally high. You will have less oxygen as you summit the top of Paldor Peak. However, our itinerary allows you to get a proper time to acclimatize. Our guides have years of experience 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 to receive immediate help when you need it. In case your situation worsens, we will carry out the emergency rescue evacuation as per the company’s rule.
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.
What about drinking water during the adventure?
We are cautious about your health, so we provide safe water 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 purifiers with you. Besides, you can buy some tablets that help in water purification.
What are the accommodation facilities during the expedition?
During your stay in Kathmandu, we will offer you accommodation in a 3-star hotel as part of our B/B plan. Similarly, when you are trekking, you will have accommodations in tea houses (mountain lodge) as part of our plan (accommodation, breakfast, lunch, and dinner). We would like to notify you that tea houses are more like hotels. They offer the facilities of hot showers, western food, and private rooms (twin sharing).
What are the banking facilities en route?
Nepal has some of the modern banking facilities. It accepts almost all foreign currencies and credit cards, such as American Express, Visa, and Mastercard. Most of the towns that you pass through during your trekking provide ATM facilities too.
How do I get a Nepal Visa to carry out this expedition?
The Immigration Office at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, facilitates Tourist Visa on Arrival. You need to pay USD 30 visa fee for two weeks, USD 50 for a month, and USD 125 for 3 months. Besides, the Tourist Visa Extension requires a minimum of 15 days (USD 45) and USD 3 for each extra day.
What documents do I need for a permit?
You need to have the following documents to get a required permit for Paldor Peak Climbing adventure:
International ID photograph duplicate (need to be clear with shading sweep) and legitimacy of at least 6 months
2 International ID-sized photographs
Your occupation details
Your home subtleties address
Previous mountaineering experience, if any
What kind of insurance do I need for this Paldor Peak Climbing adventure?
We suggest you get full insurance that covers medical, travel, and emergency evacuation to avoid unnecessary expenses in case of any devastating incident. Make sure to choose your insurance wisely, and if you have any trouble, we can help you select the right one.
