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!
