Stories written on the trail.

We decided to choose imperial over g adventures as they included more services and are a lot more cheaper overall! Imperial includes airport pickup/drop off, welcome and farewell dinner, all three meals on the trek, tea/coffee and the very much needed fruit platter each night! They also provided us with free rental of trekking poles and sleeping bags. We missed our connection to Kathmandu but Paras managed to arrange a later airport pick-up and was willing to move our trek by a day so that we had enough sleep. We decided not to but it was great that they are so flexible. They also managed to get some diamox for us as we were too late for a trip to the pharmacy. Our guide Ram and our porter Naran were excellent. Always very happy and helpful and we learnt so much about the culture. Ram would make sure we ate the correct food (a light meal) before a steep climb. He would check our pulse to see if we were doing ok (which we were) and always made sure we were drinking our water. Ram also allowed us to carry on and walk to another settlement past the one set in the itinerary in order that we could have the best chance of acclimatising. He managed to organise a tea house within a day’s notice! Great stuff! Naran went out of his way to help us all the way to EBC as my friend struggled with some of the bigger boulders on the final part. He didn’t have to do this and it was a brilliant and kind gesture on his part. The whole experience was fantastic and when I come back to Nepal, I will definitely be booking with imperial Nepal!

Just completed the tour to Nepal. The whole staying was booked through Imperial Nepal and we did not regret. Usually we organize our travels by ourselves, but this time we decided to use the services of Imperial Nepal. That was a unique experience due to the possibility to meet many local people. At every stage of our trip we had a different guide, so one could get a lot of information about how people live there, about the history of the country. Everything was perfectly organized, one had only to enjoy the stay. I suggest not only going trekking but also exploring other places like Chitwan National Park and Bhaktapur - this city was less destroyed by the earthquake and is really impressing. Veaceslav R

This is a fantastic company to trek with. My guide Lakba was very knowledgeable and kind throughout my trek. I completed the EBC trek with this company and it was amazing. I organised this trek from Australia which was made very easy by Paras’ great customer service. When I arrived until the moment I left Nepal this company looked after me very well. I definitely recommend booking your trek with this company. They are amazing. Thanks Paras and Lakba for making my EBC trek an amazing experience. Anthonyhe2902 Melbourne, Australia

We have just finished the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Imperial Nepal. Our guide Hari and our porters Gautam and Shiresh were excellent, very friendly young men with good English. The looked after us very well, staying with us and supporting us as we trekked, and making sure our meals and accommodation were sorted each day. We chatted a lot to the 2 porters Gautam and Shiresh and they were very knowledgeable about the mountains, the areas we visited and Nepal in general. It was lovely to share stories with them, and I’m sure they will make excellent guides as well. Leonek Gold Coast, Australia

After a lot of research we decided to do the classic EBC trek with Imperial Nepal. This was the best decision we could have possibly made. Paras made sure to arrange the trek so that it would fit with our exact specifications and dates. Even when our flight to Kathmandu was delayed he was flexible about moving dates around and ensuring we had everything we need before setting off. When we got back Paras arranged a special birthday surprise for one of the group. The staff in this company always went above and beyond our expectations. Our guide Ram looked after us the whole trek. He was more than a guide, he was a teacher, a parent, a friend. We learnt so much from him, his knowledge of the mountains was immense. Our porter Naran was equally as supportive. It was with their help and encouragement that we made it safely and smiling to EBC. We never felt that any corners were cut on the trip. We always had a great room, stayed in the same teahouses as everyone else, 3 meals/drinks and huge fruit platter daily, extra blankets when needed and anything else we asked for. There was a great attention to detail. Compared to what we observed of other companies we felt very fortunate to have everything made as easy as possible for us by imperial Nepal. The trek itself is challenging. However if you choose to go then I would highly recommend Imperial Nepal. It is the best value for money, the staff are really committed and friendly and it allows you to focus on the physical challenge without worrying about anything else. Sonya R

My trip was excellent thanks to my guide Harri..and the great support from Imperial Nepal Tours. These guides know these mountains and had connections with all the guest houses all the way. Made it in seven days because of this and the flexibility of my guide. If you do Eeverst use Imperial Nepal,, roastbeefandrye Etowah, North Carolina

Paras (the Director - Treks, Tours & Mountaineering) planned an incredible trip for us two. Completely customized with the best guides, driver, hotels, lodges, tea houses and activities. 15 day route and places: Kathmandu (city-tour), Chitwan (elephant safari), Bandipur (great landscape), Pokhara (paragliding), Annapurna Poon Hill (4-day-trecking), Kathmandu (Bhaktapur, Monastery). Absolutely fantastic. Many thanks to the whole team! I highly recommend Imperial Nepal. Lifescool Muenster, Germany

Our trek with imperial nepal treks absolutely blew our expectations out of the park. For the incredibly cheap cost our group paid, we didn't expect to be provided with such kindness and selflessness from our porters and guide. From our very first steps on the trail we felt comfortable and happy walking alongside the local porters and our guide. Our guide Mani, spoke excellent English and was extremely informative throughout. He made sure that we were all healthy at the end of each day, and always made sure to let us know what we would be next doing. Our porters really proved themselves to be not only physically fit, but also very humble and helpful people. I would highly recommend journeying with Imperial Nepal Treks for the special experience they provide you with. We felt that we developed a genuine connection with our porters and guide, more so than what we saw of some other companies which didn't seem to go as above and beyond as our group did. Vincent T

I made the Everest Base Camp tour from December 23, 2017 to Jan 09, 2018 (including few extra days in Pokhara) with Imperial Nepal Treks and Expeditions. It was a life-time experience for me. Imperial Nepal arranged everything from Airport pick ups, accommodations, all meals during the trek and a guide and a porter. I went to Nepal as a solo traveler but Ram of Imperial Nepal managed to tag me with another traveler which reduced my cost a bit. My guide Santosh was very helpful and porter Pratap was also excellent. The scenario of the trek is breathtaking though the altitude and low temperature of Dec/Jan made the walk difficult. I got affected by altitude sickness after I reached the base camp. Santosh and Ram quickly arranged helicopter rescue for me. They also took care of me after returning to Kathmundu. Overall their service was excellent and it became the most important tour of my life. Wish to come back one day. Mohammad S

We did the Everest basecamp trekking in 9 days. It was a beautiful trekking and very good arranged. The weather was sunny all the time (we visited end of December - beginning of January). Pharas is a very friendly and helpful guy. He arranged a lot for us and let us feel very welcome in Nepal. Our guide Mani is an excellent guide. He has a lot of experience, is very social and we had a lot of fun. We are 30 years old and we are in a very healthy good condition. Unfortunately we climbed till 5000 metres and didn’t make it to everest base camp because we got a lot of symptoms of altitude sickness. Therefore we strongly advise if you have the time to take more rest days and plan more than 9 days. Pharas and the guides were very flexible in the amount of rest days we could take extra on the mountain. The trekking is the cheapest trekking we could find on the internet. The value for money is very good. The accommodations are very basic and some of them are not very hygienic. However the food is decent. Some extra tips: buy in advance enough pills for altitude sickness, buy enough water purification pills to clean the water on the way. We strongly recommend Imperial Nepal. Enjoy:) Michiel B

Had a great trip to Everest Base Camp in January. My guide, Sujan, and my porter, Chetan, were both amazing, attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. The weather was perfect during the trek, and we had relatively clean and comfortable tea houses the whole way. The best part was the food - the Dal Bhat was always the best option! Would recommend Imperial Nepal to anyone headed to the EBC region. B R Washington DC, District of Columbia

Being my first multi-day hike, I had no idea what to expect. However, Paras, Mani, and the other employees showed us nothing but kindness and explained each part of the hike before we did it. Travelling with a group of 10 unexperienced hikers, each staff member put in the effort to make sure we were as comfortable as possible at all times. I had an amazing time and couldn't recommend this company more. Ben S Australia
