This is an adventure trip for travelers with limited time and budget. Your trip starts from Lhasa and to reach Lhasa, you need to take a flight from either major cities of China like Chendgu/Beijing/ Shanghai or from Kathmandu. Visitors usually take the flight from Kathmandu as it also offers the opportunity of getting the spectacular views of the mountains and the high Himalayas. So, the choice is yours and we will manage your trip as per your choice.
We have prepared a special itinerary for you which include visiting the famous Potala and Norbulinkha palaces, the great Drepung Monastery, Kokhang Temple and walk amongst the crowded Tibetan market. We also take you to the well-known but rarely visited Shalu and Sakya Monasteries.

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
