Stories written on the trail.

Everything was amazing, the mountains were beautiful the culture very interesting and the views were breathtaking. The organization, the guide Hari and the porters were very professional, competent and funny, Paras the manger, who coordinated the trip from kathmandu, as well. I can’t stress enough how Hari the guide and imperial Nepal as an all contributed to make this vacation unforgettable. If you ever want to go in Nepal I advice you to go with Imperial Nepal and to ask for Hari as a guide. FLAVIO L

What can I say. Memories for life. Breathtaking views, challenging trails, and just an experience of a lifetime. Our guide Santosh and our porters made the journey as smooth as it could be. Even in the most challenging situations, we we taken the best care of. If you are planning this trip for yourself, your family, or your friends, I can definitely recommend Santosh and Imperial Treks.

If there was a trek that had supposedly all the best views of nature in the world, it would have to Annapurna Half Circuit. From lush forests and windy rivers, to gaping valleys and towering snow-capped mountains, the trek each day from low to high altitudes left me spoilt for views. I am glad that I signed up for the trek with Imperial Nepal Treks, as they not only met each and every one of their promises in the package, but also went above and beyond to ensure that my friend group would feel safe, full and fulfilled by the end of the trek. Our guide, Babu Nirmal, was more of a friend than a guide, that we easily became comfortable with given his friendly and easygoing nature. Throughout the trek, he checked in on us each morning to ensure we were feeling alright for the trek, and was always willing to help us in any way possible. He always accommodated our pace, and supported us whenever we were feeling tired, sometimes literally and sometimes by offering to carry our load. My favourite memories from this trek were the times we had fun whilst we were not trekking. From playing snooker at snooker houses together, to watching and celebrating Manchester United win Manchester City 2-0 in the FA Cup final together at a guesthouse in Chame, these are just snippets of the amazing time we had together. Even after the trek ended, he showed us around Pokhara to ensure we had a fun-filled time there, bringing us to popular restaurants and boating around Phewa Lake. Our porters, Devindhar and Ram, were strong and friendly. They never once faltered behind, and were always providing the best of service during meals, bringing us our food and drinks and clearing our tables, as well as a complimentary fruit bowl each night after dinner. Without them, we definitely would not have conquered Thorong La Pass! Ram (another one), the agent I contacted to liaise the details of the trek and the services provided, was always responsive and accommodative as well. Without him, this whole trip, that surpassed all expectations, would not have been made possible. Tze hsien L

Well all I can say is this company is outstanding. Everything was perfect from the first day I spoke to Ram .When I return I will certainly be calling on this wonderful company again Theo Megaloconomos

Our whole EBC / Gokyo Lake experience was 1st class. From the time we chose to contact Imperial Nepal, Ram contacted us very promptly and was immediately invested in doing everything he could to arrange a journey to suit us. He certainly understood what we wanted and put a great plan together - trek objectives and other inclusions, including Pokhara. The trek itself was amazing, made so by our fantastic guide Shiva and porters. Shiva certainly got to know our group, our personalities and walking habits. He blended all this so that we all enjoyed the journey. Shiva's communication throughout was great - we all knew what to expect and timings etc. Following the trek. weather conditions didn't favour our Pokhara option, but Ram personally met with us and offered alternatives for us to enjoy. Throughout, Ram was always personally available to do whatever was needed to meet our needs. Thanks Ram. I highly recommend Imperial Nepal to anyone trekking Nepal. Wayne D

Undertook the 9 day trek with Imperial Nepal in Apr-May 2024. Booked directly with Ram, and made the trek as a team of 3, along with our guide Mani and our 2 porters. Despite the usual uncertainties and delays (e.g. flight delays and cancellations in and out of Lukla due to poor visibility in the dry, hazy season), the whole trek was well managed with no significant delays overall. We were all very well taken care of, ate well, slept well, and had the energy everyday to take the next steps, thanks to the enthusiasm of the guide and porters! Had lots of time along the way to savour and appreciate the sights, as well as understand the history and the significance of the places. Highly recommend both the trek and the operators! Kin N

We had a fantastic trip with Santosh and Ramesh doing the Jomsom Muktinah trek through Imperial Nepal Treks. The trip was well organised and fairly priced and Paras the manager was always able to be reached when we had questions. The walk itself was not too challenging but I definitely recommend having a level of baseline fitness. We would definitely use this company again and if you’re lucky you’ll have Santosh and Ramesh on your walk with you! Sophie A

Great choice to choose Imperial Nepal. They have professional guide and porters. They are very supportive and helpful on trekking, such as tips on the trip, what meals will be a better choice, when should get filter water, etc. Also, the plan on trekking is flexible, as flight to Lukla always delay, our guide provide us choice to flight with helicopter, which save time for us and having a memorable experience (stunning views in helicopter!) Last but not least, it is appreciated that even our guide is hurt in his knee during the trip, he still try his best to keep the trip on track. Btw, our guide is Santosh, do find him and he will be your best guide;) Wong S

The overall experience is great. Santosh and our porters took good care of us, not only he gave us lots of useful tips to navigate high altitude, but also making sure we are well- fed and well rested. It made our trip even more wonderful, we would definitely come visit Nepal again ! Hailey

I cannot speak more highly of Imperial Nepal, it's owner, Ram and our guide, Shiva. We spent 19 days trekking to EBC, Gokyo and to two of the high passes. We also spent another seven or eight days in Nepal with Ram organising local tours and internal flights for us. Ram tailored our time in Nepal to meet our needs and found alternate places for us to go when poor weather prevented us from getting to our intended destinations. We stayed three nights on Gokyo..best thing we ever did. We commenced our journey with Ram about 12 months before we arrived in Kathmandu. He would always respond promptly to any queries we had during the time we spent organising our trip. He met us when we first arrived at our hotel and he saw us off when we left for the airport. Shiva, our guide was fantastic. We were briefed each night. We knew what was coming our way each day and where we needed to be at the end of the day. It was never a rush to get there. So we got to enjoy the sights at our own pace. Shiva knew so much about the mountains, the history and the culture. He is a very unassuming person. We all had so many laughs. It was great to get to know him on a personal level. Ben S

This is the third times we've trekked with Imperial Nepal Trek and definitely with the same super guide Hari and very strong porter Raju. We did Annapurna round with Tilicho lake in Apr 2022 and Everest base camp via Gokyo in Oct 2022. Now it's time to step up to Mera peak. With 6476m of the Mera peak and the extreme weather on the top, it's pretty tough for us but the trip was well prepared with contingency plan. Hari is very experienced guide with a lot of knowledge on trails. Everything went very smooth. We can success to summit the Mera peak with super view on the top. It's quite memorable for us indeed. A lot of good things happened on the trip, I have to special thank to Ram, Hari, and Raju to help us succeed on our goal. Niwat Waropas Ko Kret, Thailand

We took a 13-day EBC trekking tour with Imperial Nepal Trek& Expedition. Overall it is amazing and fantastic experience. Waken up by the extraordinary view of the mountains in Sagarmartha National Park, we can just keep saying it is amazing to us. Our guide, Santosh and the porter, took good care of us each and everyday of our trip from our every meal, teahouse and trekking experience for sure. We hope it is not a once-in-a-lifetime experience, we will definitely come to Nepal and hike again with the Imperial Nepal Trek. Holly T
