Stories written on the trail.

I travelled to Nepal and trekked Everest base camp a week ago in a group of 3. This was an amazing trek. Our guide, Mani were absolutely incredible, informative and safety conscious. Our porters, Tehs and Gopal were amazing, fun to be with and hard working. They take care of us during the hike and make sure all of us are in good condition and treated us like a family. Tea house and food served are clean along the trek. We enjoyed each other accompany and manage to complete the trek safely. I would do this hike again in an instant and only wish we'd had more time together Booking with Imperial was easy and efficient. They providing us with all the information needed. The guys on the ground/in the office are also friendly and helpful. Overall we are very satisfied and happy with Imperial! Do visit Nepal! Sally Soong Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

My partner and I have just recently moved to Nepal and decided a good first introduction to the country might be hiking the Annapurna Circuit. We booked through Imperial Nepal Treks online from New Zealand and have not regretted that decision once. The package was hard to fault. Great value for money (esp. in the wake of the earthquake and in the middle of a fuel crisis!), great service from all involved and a great itinerary. Our guide on the trek Dinesh and our porter, Sudip were great! Helpful, accommodating, relaxed and willing to work around any issue that came up. It was just myself, my partner Andrew and Dinesh and Sudip and so we felt like close friends by the end of our 17 days together. Jokes and long conversations about our respective lives were really lovely additions to the astoundingly beautiful scenery and hospitality of the locals. Added on to the trek is a sightseeing day in KTM - this is also a great day where we were guided to many fascinating places we would never have discovered on our own. It was a lovely introduction we didn't expect. With welcome and farewell dinners in KTM and all accommodation and meals organised on the trek we were simply at leisure. Thanks Imperial Treks Nepal - a great experience. Lauren M Franz Josef, New Zealand

The two of us decided to get Guide and Porter and Imperial Treks seemed legit. Right from the get go they kept us informed about payment, itinerary, what to expect etc... We are both experienced in the outdoors and had never thought about being guided or having our things carried but our Guide Denish and Porter Sudip soon put our worries to rest! They were both great guys and we had a lot of fun, learned a lot of interesting things about the areas we were travelling through and got the down low on cool places to see and must do's. It turned out to be a really unique and fun 21 day circuit of the Annapurna Ranges. I would recommend Imperial Treks to anyone but more importantly Denish and Sudip for their expertise, patience, un-faltering senses of humour and all around positive outlook on their country and beautiful backcountry. Thanks Boys! Namaste. Andrew

When deciding on a company to take us to Everest Base Camp we definitely wanted a Nepalese company, and we're so happy that we chose Imperial! Right from the beginning we were welcomed and nothing was too much of an issue. We were taken for a lovely welcome dinner, saw the main tourist sights of Kathmandu and then headed up to Lukla. We had KC as a guide, who always asked us how we were to make sure we were not affected by altitude sickness, ensured we had everything we needed (good food, water and accommodation) and had a great sense of humour too! Our porters, Kumar and Dinesh, were great too! We'd highly recommend visiting the Himalayas, as the scenery is spectacular, it's an incredible experience, and the people are very friendly. Back in Kathmandu after the trek we had a great farewell dinner. Paras and Ram were great, and nothing was too much to ask. I would (and have) recommend(ed) this company to others looking to visit Nepal! Shanzki Melbourne, Australia

i had a good time with imperial nepal treks. everything worked out as planed and i had a good guide. the trek was awesome, you go thru beatifull valleys and see huge mountains all the time around you. i can just recomend this tour company!!!! Lukas Austria

My son and I trekked to ABC in October. Imperial Nepal is a local Nepalese company and we were glad to support the locals with our business. Imperial Nepal were very friendly and bent over backwards to ensure we were happy with our experience and had everything we needed. The guide was very friendly and informative and did everything he could to ensure we were more than satisfied with his service. We were in Nepal when problems arose that were out of the control of the tour company. It was reassuring to have the professional experience and the local knowledge of our tour guide and Imperial Nepal Treks to smooth out any problems and ensure we didn't have to worry about overcoming such problems. Yes, it is possible to trek ABC on your own. However, you would miss out on a great deal of interesting information and history by doing it without a local guide. ..... a little like walking around the Louvre in Paris without a guide to tell you about the works of art. The guide is also useful in communicating for you with the locals if required and ensuring accommodation in busy times when beds may be in short supply. We found the scenery spectacular and the service provided by Imperial Nepal to be spectacular also. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone interested in doing any trek in Nepal to do it with Imperial Nepal. They are committed to customer satisfaction and will leave you with an experience to remember fondly. Icn C Greater Sydney, Australia

I rarely write reviews but I feel that Imperial travel more than deserve the time that it will take me to write this. I travelled to Nepal and trekked Everest base camp as a single female traveller and the whole team at Imperial travel made me feel utterly welcome, safe, looked after and I would even go as far as to say, a part of the family. There were meant to be 3 other people joining me on the trek but due to the fuel strikes, they all cancelled. Despite it being expensive for Imperial travel to take me trekking alone, they did not try to charge me any kind of single supplement and despite me now having a room to myself instead of sharing with someone else, they, at no stage, skimped on the rooms. In fact, I noticed that I had much better rooms than many other people that I met on the trek who were with other companies, often with my own bathroom. Both my guide, Sujan, and my porter were absolutely incredible. They really looked after me/made me feel very comfortable and were both always so happy. I really enjoyed both of their company. The guys on the ground/in the office really looked after me in Kathmandu also. They helped me to arrange many things without profit to themselves. I found them to be incredibly fair, honest and genuine business men. Unfortunately there are less people travelling to Nepal now due to the earthquake and fuel strikes but I was not affected by either. The Nepalese are incredible people and Nepal is a great country - I thoroughly recommend both Nepal and Everest base camp trek to everyone... NIaby Codd London, UK

Thanks to Paras, We had a wonderful time in Nepal.! He arranged us everything we wanted to see and answered to our many questions.!

I will never forget.! Again thank you so much.!! Take good care of you and see you in Nepal.! Bisous d'Axelle et Fred

I did the Annapurna base camp trek with Dinesh Khanal as a guide . The whole experience from beggining to end was amazing and i highly reccomend both Imperial as a company and Dinesh as a guide . Along with the breath taking views and occasionally challenging terrain was the comfort of having a knowledgeable guide to make life easy . Great trip . Angelo D

While staying in Hotel Blue Horizon, we were offered a tour package by the owner. The tour was very good and it saved us a lot of time, we didnt have to worry about traveling and schedules. The hotels offered in the tour were also top notch. Would definitely recommend first time visitors to try it. Naseem Hongkong, China Review from Trip Advisor

Did this a year ago in June 2014 but kept forgetting to leave a review! Initial plans of trekking without a guide changed when the staff of Blue Horizon Hotel introduced this company to us. We decided to go for it and boy, are we glad we did! I would imagine the trek being more tedious and not as smooth without our awesome and friendly guide, Bhagawat Mani Lamichhane. An expert on the trail, you can definitely count on him to show you around. He got us nice teahouses to stay at, made sure we stayed safe, and encouraged me to go on when I really felt like giving up on the first few days. Plus he's a pretty good photographer ;) Also, we caught some pretty nice views of the Annapurnas too despite it being summer. If you haven't done the trek yet, you really should. The unspoiled nature, amazing scenery, inspiration all around, the experience itself is worth the go. Jovyong Singapore Review from Trip Advisor

I can only recommend tracking around LangTang- Great view, not very hard but still hard enough walking. If you make the trip, look for Hari, he's a really good guide. Budapest, Hungary Review from Trip Advisor
