Stories written on the trail.

I'm just back from completing the Everest 17 days High Passes Trek. I'm still on a High. The trip was absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful country with lovely people. Memories that will stay with me for a lifetime. Anybody with a little training can complete this . The high passes trek takes you off the beaten track and is a lot quieter than the normal route, the scenery is amazing. The view of Everest from the top of the Renjo Last pass will stay with me for a life time as will the views of Ama Dablam. I could not have done this without the help from everybody at Imperial Nepal Treks. My first contact was with Paras. He was great and his communication was brilliant. Any questions that I had were quickly answered. I also had a fantastic guide called Santosh. Very knowledgeable and encouraged me every step of the way. Very impressed withhe way he took care of me. Thank You to everybody. I will definately be seeing you all again. joeyleonar Dublin, Ireland

Nepal is the best time of my life!!! A group of 11 people, cousins, new friends trekked the EBC for 2 weeks...You have to be there to experience the beauties of the trip. Our guide (Sujan Khanal) is extremely knowledgeable. No doubt! He will be the guide to request for the future of my Nepal trip. Monterey Park, California

We recently returned from trekking to Everest Base camp with Imperial Nepal Treks. It was truly an amazing experience and we would definitely recommend the company. Everything went very smoothly and we were very well looked after. Right from the start Paras was easy to communicate with from Australia and he was happy to answer any questions we had. Our accomodation in Kathmandu before and after the trek was very clean and close to tourist areas. Our guide, Mani, was very knowledgable and friendly, and always went out if his way to make sure we were comfortable. Our porter, Nil, was also amazing. The tea houses we stayed at along the trek were basic but comfortable and clean, and the food was plentiful and very tasty! Imperial were also very well priced in comparison to a lot of other companies. We are very glad we made the decision to go with them. The trek itself is very hard work but totally worth it to experience the amazing scenery of the Himalayas. Thanks to Paras and his great team. Cheers, Gareth Taylor Mandurah, Australia

We were part of a group of 8 mounteneeres from different cities of Romania and we came in the Hymalaian mountains to enrich ourselves and become more strong once we have overcame our limits. The professional way everything was organised by the company made this experience even more memorable as it was due to the amasing landscape and beautiful places we have been to: city of Khatmadu encounter, flight to Lukla, Dhurkosi Valey and its amasing river, Hillary Bridge, Namche Bazar, Everest View Spot, Everest Memorial, Tengboche Monastry, Gorakshep and Everest Base Camp, Khalapatar, Zongla and Chola Pass, Gokyo Lake and Ri, Mongla and back to base and so on ... From the very first encounter with representatives of the company, Ram and Hari and till the very last evening in Khatmandu there is no single thing we would have changed. Choice of the hotel we stayed in, city tour, choice of our neplay guide in the person of Hari and the way he managed the whole track - choice of guest houses on the all way to mountains, food management in the mountains, time taken to well acclimatise, spontaneous issues taken care of on the spot, constant care for each and every ones's needs (and we were eight of us!), right information on the way to and back from the mountains, are only few of the things we much appreciate to our guide and to the tracking company he is part of. On the whole we felt very welcomed and very well taken care of. At a certain moment, after we did EBS I personnaly wanted to give up due to acumulated challenges but Hari, our nepaly guide came up with the best wise sollution that made me overcome my limits and enjoy all the rest of the trip along with my mates. If we were to come again we know who and where to come for guidance. This experience will stay forever as a benchmark in our way to live. Ghio & Ruxi Ruxandra F

From day one when arrived in Kathmandu the quality of accomodation was above our expectations. Everything went smoothly all very well organised by Paras & his team Mani was our tour leader, where nothing was to much trouble for my wife & son This is a hard trek, harder than we thought but Mani left us to go at our pace so for us in our late 60 age group we completed the trek to bad camp Well done to all the staff at Imperial, we could not recommend you highly enough , well done & we will be back Glenda , Denis & Gareth Taylor.

My wife and I had always talked about how much we would love to explore the Himalayas and to be able to trek surrounded by some of the most stunning views in the world. Thanks to Imperial Nepal Treks our dream came true last month. From the first days in Kathmandu, including the full day private tour of the city to the hotels in the main cities (Kathmandu and Pokhara) everything was seamless. The best part of our trip was undoubtedly the 9-day trek to Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp, including all the aspects of it (the route, guide and porter, the food, and the teahouses). Thank you very much to Paras for organising this trip for us and for assisting us and solving all the problems we had in such an effective way. Special thanks to our trekking guide Babu and our porter Gautam, who made our trek a once in a lifetime experience. I would recommend this company to anyone and I will surely use it again on my future trips to Nepal jorge a

We have recently arrived home from our 13 trip to EBC with Imperial Nepal. On the first evening we met with our guide Ram, who was with us throughout the trip. From beginning to end Ram ensured that the trip ran smoothly and that we were we'll looked after. Ram's English was perfect and he always made sure we had the best possible experience every single day. On the final day our flight was delayed from Lutka, so Ram worked with the team at imperial and found us a helicopter flight back to Kathmandu. We could not be happier with his service and that of the company. We met a number of people who traveled without the assistance of a guide and a porter who regretted that decision. By traveling with Imperial Nepal, they chose the best lodges (for the budget obviously) for us to stay, with good hygiene standards for meals. Our hotel in Kathmandu (Hotel Buddy) was clean and lovely to return to after the trek. Imperial organised an extra night in the hotel before and after for us with no problems. We are thrilled with the value of the trip and will definitely be back in contact with Imperial Nepal for our next trip. steph998_11 Los Angeles

Initially signed up this package but upgraded it to a fly to Pokhara option instead. Paras was amazingly helpful to arrange for our few rather late options. Am grateful for this extended services. Accommodations at Pokhara and Kathmandu were reasonably good. Location was absolutely spot on in the heart of town! For the ABC trek, we had super friendly guide Sujan and his super helpful assistant guide and porters as trek companions. Safety was never compromised at all! Imperial Nepal deserved our full praise as an excellent host. Will definitely recomend this to others! saykian l

We were very well cared for by our guide K.C. He is very knowledgeable and has been a guide for about 20 years. We are now friends. Our porter carried our stuff to where we stayed before we arrived. Lodging and all meals (except special items) are included in the trek price. Bottled water is plentiful, but not free. Cash is needed for almost all purchases in Nepal - except for trekking arranger company and occasional expensive restaurants. We (my grown daughter and I) flew to Lukla from Katmandu (5 hour delay, typical for Lukla flight) and spent our 1st night at Phakding. Then 2 nights at Namche Bazar. Finally a very long (33,000 steps) day back to Lukla for overnight, and flight back to Kathmandu. The trails go up and down almost continuously, mostly using wide stone steps. We passed many restaurants and places to buy water and sometimes fruit, every 250 meters, on average. We passed thru 2-5 villages between overnight stops. We crossed 5 ~400 meter-long steel cable (under and handrails) with steel plank suspension bridges. We were passed about every 30 minutes by long (15-50 animals) pack trains of djupkes (cross between cow and yak) or donkeys. I needed many 1-4 minute rest breaks, for every 10 to 15 meters of altitude gain. Lunch (at a restaurant) was a much longer rest break. My daughter and our guide did not need rest stops as much as I did. One highlight was meeting and talking with other trekkers on the trail. We especially enjoyed our trio of Spanish ladies and a Russian trio. National borders are meaningless on the trail; we all hike the same trail and exchange stories. The other highlight was our pre-dawn hike from Namche to upper Namche and on to Everest View Hotel - for excellent views of Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Nuptse. Many photos! Lodging was fine at a series of guest houses / hotels with mattresses, plus electricity, hot water, and/or very slow wifi at least 2 hours a day (~6-8 PM), sometimes more hours. We supplied body heat, but some guest houses have a central stove in the restaurant area. In all, it was a happy time and what I hoped for. genefry Brookfield

Am an active person frequently hiking in Switserland and always wanted to hike/climb in Nepal. Decided to climb Island Peak (6189m) a mountain in the Everest region. As I was restricted due to work I had to find an organization that could provide a private tour on the dates I was available. Searching the web I did see some good reviews on ImperialNepalTreks as trekking company. Got in contact with them and asked them many many questions about the option of climbing Island Peak. Paras from ImperialNepal always responded promptly through WhatsApp. This gave me confidence as I was a bit hesitant choosing an organization, as safety is critical during the trip. It turned out I made a great decision!!! The trip was fantastic and extremely well organized. 1. Had a great Sherpa (Pema) who climbed Everest 3 times and Anil, a strong and friendly porter. 2. As I live in the Middle East for work and could not buy all my gear, the Sherpa actually picked me up from the airport in Kathmandu and took me to some shops with authentic gear to buy my missing items (eg. Alpine boots). He also checked all my equipment to see if anything was missing. 3. Was looked after from the day I started to communicate with them until I was brought back to the airport. I couldn't really have wished for anything more. Summited Island Peak successfully. Especially summit day was a fantastic experience having to cross the glacier and crevasses with ladders followed by a very steep last few hundred meters where you had to be secured with ropes. Decided to summit straight from lower base camp. Very demanding but rewarding day. Overall a fantastic experience and well organised by ImperialNepalTreks. Will definitely come back as now I want to go higher. Highly recommend Imperial and definitely will use them again next time. kimvh73 Utrecht, The Netherlands

We were well taken care of throughout the entire trek. Our guide Ram was very knowledgeable and made changes according to our preferences. Unfortunately, our flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu got delayed for 2 days - that was quite chaotic but eventually things were sorted out and Imperial organised a chopper to get us out. Overall, I'd say great service and would highly recommend! Tsao T Reviewed Product #:

The manager Paras set up a custom trip to ABC base camp. It was an unbelievable experience if you love being in nature. I’m very fit and my guide Nimral Thapa was happy to push the pace with me. He always made sure I had a good room and full belly. Make sure you are prepared with the proper clothing. Bring a sleeping bag and pillow case and accept the fact that hot showers are unlikely and the washrooms are not always clean. If you get over that you’ll have an amazing time. Jungle, mountains, fresh air, great people! The_Stryde
