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

When is the best time to go on the Panch Pokhari Trek?

For most treks, including this one, Spring and Autumn are the best seasons to travel. The skies are likely to be much clearer and give you an unobstructed view of the majestic peaks. Especially on this trek, the Jugal Himal range enveloping you is an excellent sight. Similarly, there is less chance of rainfall, so you can trek for long hours without worrying about slippery trails.

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.

Do I need any fitness training before going on this Panch Pokhari Trek?

Yes. This trail is of moderate difficulty, so it will only need you to ensure you are moderately healthy and living an active lifestyle. However, you will be walking for 6-7 hours a day, so you might want to ensure that you prepare for this with activities like hiking, cycling, swimming, and jogging. These cardio-oriented activities should help you prepare for the upcoming trek. We recommend at least a month of active physical activity prior to this trek.

Are there provisions for ATMs or credit cards during the trek?

There are many places where you can use your ATM or credit card in Kathmandu. However, as we trek into higher and more remote villages, these facilities are bound to be rare. We advise you to carry the appropriate amount of cash with you to conduct your purchases.

What is the accommodation like in the Panch Pokhari Trek?

The main accommodation during this trek will be camping. Rest assured, there will be no compromise in terms of both comfort and safety. We will be diving the tents on a twin-share basis, and each tent will have a comfortable mattress. Our guides will ensure that the camps are set up in safe locations and cater to all your needs properly.

Is it safe to drink tap water during this 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.

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.

Will there be extra porters available?

Porters are included on our trek package (1 porter per 2 trekkers). If you feel like you need personal porter help for your bags as you want to focus on the trek and enjoy the view itself, we have got you covered. Typically, a porter can carry about 20kg in weight, which includes their own backpack as well.

Trekking Gear List

The Panch Pokhari trek can be quite difficult. It takes you through uneven terrains, steep hills, and high altitudes. The weather is generally unpredictable, so it is in your best interest to prepare yourself for any situation. With this in mind, we have drawn up the following list of trekking gear that you should consider packing:

Breathable trekking shirts, both half and full sleevesWater and wind-resistant trekking trousersComfortable trekking shorts for walking in hot weatherAt least one thermal layer for colder conditionsBreathable underwearWaterproof jacket for unexpected rainsLight fleece jacket for warmer areasHigh-quality down jacket in case of extreme weather conditionsComfortable, worn-in hiking boots.Sandals for leisurely walking.High-quality hiking socks and thermal socksSun protection hatBeanie or headbandInner and Outer glovesGood quality sleeping bagCamera and portable chargersUV protection sunglassesTrekking polesTrekking towelsWater bottle and water purification tabletsAny prescription medicationsHeadlampSpare batteriesHand sanitizers, sunscreen, lip balm
