Stories written on the trail.

Had an incredible experience trekking the Annapurna Circuit with Imperial Nepal, which came highly recommended to us—and it absolutely lived up to it. Ram, the company’s director, was fantastic from the very beginning. He made sure we had all the information we needed before arriving and took the time to meet us in Kathmandu to ensure everything was perfectly organised. We were so impressed with the level of care and attention throughout the trip. Our guide, Shiva, was outstanding—knowledgeable, calm, and always looking out for us. Each evening he would walk us through the plan for the next day, answer any questions, and make sure everyone was feeling good and prepared. The whole team, including the porters, were warm, supportive, and quickly felt like part of our group. The Annapurna Circuit itself was breathtaking, but it was the people who made the experience truly special. From thoughtful touches along the way to the seamless organisation, everything was handled with genuine care. A huge thank you to Ram, Shiva, and the entire Imperial Nepal team for such a memorable adventure. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a trek in Nepal.

We recently returned from a fantastic 2 week trip to Nepal and a trek to ABC. A friend had recommended Imperial to us and we were very happy that they did. They took care of all the details for us and we had the most incredible family holiday. Ram was great at helping us plan the trip before we arrived and was really flexible with our requests on the itinerary. Shiva was our guide and we couldn’t have asked for more - he looked after us from start to finish, morning to night, was super knowledgeable about the mountains and was great company and we learnt a lot from him. We look forward to returning to Nepal sometime soon and having another amazing Himalayan adventure - we will be sure to go with Imperial again!

Thank you, Shivu and Paras for an unforgettable 3 Passes Trek. We did the EBC in 2018 with Imperial Nepal Treks as well. What we appreciated about Shivu as our guide was his flexibility and understanding to change plans when the weather doesn’t want to play along.. Shivu knows the passes really well - it is safer to trek with such a competent guide. All arrangements went smoothly and it made the adventure most enjoyable.

Just returned from an amazing adventure to Everest Base Camp, Dinesh are guide was brilliant, (very nice) great guy. Are two porters Surage and Naqua were amazing too. Paras Khanal was are contact in Kathmandu nothing was to much trouble and everything went to plan, even when we decided to change the itinerary at the last minute. I can highly recommend this company and wouldn’t hesitate to use again. We flew to Kathmandu then took a 170 mile jeep ride to Salleri what an experience, we then trekked for the next 11 days (74miles) to EBC before taking Helicopter back to Lukla for a real hairy plane ride back to Kathmandu, great !! Once again a big thanks to Paras, Dinesh, Surage and Naqua Kind regards Andy Merrick.

Imperial Nepal made the experience unforgettable! Days before the trekking they already provided a nice hotel and a sightseeing tour for us. During the trekking our guide Dinesh was very informative and full of funny jokes! I would definitely recommend going with Dinesh! He kept the energy up and made sure the pace was perfect for our group. Compared to other trekking companies (heard from other travelers), this one was definitely one of the most experienced who went the extra mile for you. Thank you imperial !! Madelief V

Our trek to Mount Everest was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our incredible guide, Dinesh Khanal. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and we never lacked anything. Dinesh took exceptional care of us throughout the trek. He constantly checked in to see how we were doing and made sure we always got a dal bhat refill – which was much needed after long days of hiking! When I experienced headaches from altitude sickness, he gave me valuable tips and did his absolute best to help me through it. If I was feeling cold, he immediately arranged hot water, which was a lifesaver. One of the highlights was that every evening after dinner, Dinesh would personally prepare a beautifully arranged fruit salad, almost like a mandala. It was a special and thoughtful touch that made the experience even more memorable. Besides his great care, Dinesh is also funny, positive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared fascinating stories about the mountains and the culture, making the trek even more enjoyable. I highly recommend trekking with Dinesh Khanal – an amazing guide who truly goes above and beyond! Davidoude2020

Had such a great experience trekking poon hill with the help and support of Shiva our amazing guide! Everything was organised perfectly from transport from and back to Kathmandu to our hotel in Pokhara the night before, we did not have to worry about anything once we left on our trip! Shiva was an amazing guide, providing us with excellent food and accommodation along the trek, making us feel safe every step of the way! I would recommend this experience to anyone and felt it was certainly value for money! Jake G

AMAZING. The whole experience was very enjoyable. We had the best time with Shiva and the team. Organising with Ram was very easy and we will definitely be going with them again should we come back. Service throughout the trip was great from Shiva and team. They organised great accommodation, food and transport for us. They were very supportive and always looked out for us the whole way. We were very happy with imperial treks, Shiva (our guide) and the rest of the team. 10/10 experience and service THANK YOU Samuel H

Our trek to Gokyo is an experience I will treasure forever. From the breathtaking views to the delicious food and rich culture, every moment was unforgettable. The entire journey was impeccably organised, and it was such a relief not to worry about accommodations or where our next meal would come from—everything was taken care of. Even when things didn’t go exactly as planned, our guide Shiva ensured that the best possible outcome was always achieved, going above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth and enjoyable experience.

One of the best trip I ever had in my life. Reaching the EBC with my friends, the guide Hari and two porters Babu Ram e Ram Chandra was exciting. I will never forget this adventure! If you are planning to visit Nepal and EBC, please ask about Hari and you won’t regret! Hope to come back soon! Federica D
