Stories written on the trail.

The three passes, EBC and Kalapatthar trek was such a memorable experience for our group. The staffs were all very professional including Mr. Parash who made the trip details very clear and understandable. The bus ride to Jiri as the public bus was a bit crammed and felt quite dangerous so I would recommend a jeep for transport. Our guide Navaraj was beyond what we expected as we travelled with thim along the trail he became like a brother to us. He was always making sure we were comfortable and taken care of in every way. For instance on the way up to Chola Pass, it was far below freezing and the gloves brought were not warm enough. My hands were freezing and I could not warm them up. So, Nava took his gloves off, helped warm up my fingers and gave me his warm gloves to use. It's things like that, that makes you really trust in a guide that he wants to make sure you are happy and safe. The porters were incredible as well. Samdi and Amrit were always helping us move our bags and bring us food to our tables. Another thing that I really enjoyed about the trek was that the porters actually carried a box of fruits the entire time and served us apples, oranges and pomegranate every dinner. The guide and porters couldn’t have done a better job and when I come back to Nepal, I will for sure request the same people to come along for the journey. Thank you again to Parash, Navaraj, Samdi and Amrit. You made my trip an everlasting journey.

Overall the experience I had with Imperial Treks was excellent from start to finish. When we arrived at the hotel, we met with Parash and discussed the details of our planned trek. He was very knowledgeable and promptly organized everything so we could depart. We were able to meet the guide and porters at the hotel beforehand which added to our comfort level. Nava, the guide was outstanding. His English is very good and he was able to teach us a lot about local culture, plants, wildlife and especially mountains. The porters, Samdi and Amrit were also a pleasure to have along. We travelled quite quickly and they were always right behind us. These three provided excellent service at all the tea houses and were always making sure we were safe and comfortable. They were also a lot of fun to be around which is important when spend that much time together. By the end of the trek, we were one big family. We ended up returning to Kathmandu a couple days early because we decided to skip the Renjo La as we didn’t posses the energy and already experienced breathtaking views. Our guide and porters were completely accommodating and left the decision completely up to us. Upon returning early, we were treated to free accommodations and a very nice dinner to make up for the days we chose to skip. This was a nice gesture and shows the company cares a lot about customer satisfaction. Overall, I couldn’t be more happy with the service and experience I received. I plan to return to Nepal as there are many other treks and my business will be with Imperial Treks. Matt Viveiros [email protected]

Wir entschieden uns als erstes fuer den Manaslu Trek. Dieser gilt als sehr urspruenglich mit tibetischen Flair. Mit unseren Guide Santos starten wir zum Larke Pass…Ab 3800m wanderten wir durch die ersten Schneefelder. Am 8. Tag ueberquerten wir den Larke Pass ! Traumhaft! Die Ueberschreitung waere allerdings zu einem spaeteren Zeitpunkt guenstiger gewesen. Der Schnee reichte uns teilweise bis zur Huefte. Diesen Trek kann man nur weiterempfehlen..! Als zweites starten wir zum Everest Trek, mit dem Helicopter nach Lukla. Das Ziel ist das Everest Base Camp und am naechsten morgen zum Kala Patthar. Der Weg fuehrt durch die beeindruckende Landschaft Richtung Mt. Everest. Dieser Trek wird von sehr vielen Touristen begangen. Aber trost allem sehr zum empfehlen… Vielen Dank an Ram!

We are just writing to say what a wonderful trek we had with our guide Hari Amgai, who was the most excellent guide we could have hoped for. He catered fully to our every needs, and also was friendly, taught us Nepali, and kept us laughing the whole time. His English is excellent and the trip was made very easy by his communication. When we return to Nepal we will book through Imperial, so that we can have Hari as our guide again. Thankyou for a wonderful service, Kindest Regards, Laura and Jonathan, Australia B.C.A.

Came to Nepal to go trekking Lang Tang with my family but hadn't organised any companies to go through before we got there. We heard about this company through the staff at Hotel Blue Horizon in Thamel - where we stayed in Kathmandu. They didn't leave anything out and involved us in the whole process of organising our trek. While on the trek, everything was taken care of and we knew we were in the good hands of the guide and porter that had come with us. The guide was very knowledgable about the area we were walking in, and was happy to answer any questions about the trek or other treks, and Nepal in general. Very friendly and approachable. I would love to come back. Great experience, and I would recommend Imperial Nepal to anyone looking at trekking in Nepal! -Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Good info. But I would like a little bit more info about safety and aims, eventhough it is a "soft trek". Open information safety. Guide: Helpful, understanding and polite. A tip to next trek: may be the guide and the trekker should agree upon their expectations of each other. The trekking: Much up and down but, still very nice. This is not a route for very old people (much up). A little warm some part at this time of the year. Tamang was very nice and local. Almost no other tourists and I liked that a lot! Langtang gave the trek even more variety and we got to see some nice peaks and mountains. Cost: Oh, but, for one person, a little expensive. But I paid off because its not so commercial.

We are two French in a couple (24 and 22 years old) and we spent 3 weeks in Nepal. As we don’t have a lot of money, we are not used to travel with agencies. When we arrived in KTM, we stayed at Blue Horizon Hotel (which is nice, not too expensive and very friendly staffs). We talked with the managers of the company who owe the hotel i.e. Imperial Nepal Treks and they convinced us to book a trek with them. We went for a week walking in the Langtang area, close to the Tibet Border. That was very good, all was well-organized, and the guide was very good. They are very professional, and they don’t try to cheat on the money. As we spent a very good time with the services of Imperial Nepal Treks, we decided to book again all inclusive journey to Chitwan and Pokhara. The resort in the Chitwan is very good, clean and the food is perfect. Again, they gave us a very good impression. The hotel in Pokhara is nice too, good standing. We definitely recommend this company. Benjamin Lervoire [email protected]

During my stay in Kathmandu, with two of my friends, I met the employers of this company while I stayed in Hotel Blue Horizon. We talked about trekking because we were interested in the Everest Base Camp Trek. They have lot of experience in trekking and that is why we decided to do the trek with one of their guides. They also heard our wishes what we would like to see during the trek, for us we would love to see the Gokyo valley. The trekking was very good organised and we really enjoyed the trek, we stayed in nice lodges. The guide knew a lot about the mountains and the mountain culture. So I can recommand everybody to plan a trek at this company Klaas P

This is our first time for trekking in Nepal, we don’t know how to start and prepare we arrival Kathmandu late evening. Until we meet Trekking company Imperial Nepal Treks Ram Regmi they show us the easy plan in my limit time. We have no trekking equipment but he organize the cheapest price and good team for take care us. Evening he bring us Nepali traditional dinner place which was so grate and first time we try that much strong rice wine we never forget his good offer. We planed go to ABC treks he arrange us one good guide and two porters. They take care us like a family and brother. One of my friend have a problem from foodpoison he has to take a rest and waste a time for trekking but the guide can manage the limit time for finish this trek. We very impress with our team and they become my good friends .at last we have to give credit to my guide SANTOSH and very good support porter, the men who give us a nice experience and unforgettable first trekking trip.

It was time for me to pack up for my dream trek to EBC and on recommendation from my close mate i spoke to mr ram regmi with whom he has excellent experience for his trek few years ago. Without a second thought i contacted him and since then it has been excellent experience of mine to visit nepal and fulfill my dream. My trek to EBC was flawlessly organized by him with one of the best guide who actually becomes my good friend. My trek, food & stay was all effortless for me. His staff is so friendly that i ended up vising my guide Mr. Ramhari’s home in remote Gorkha village of Nepal. I’m carrying with me are unforgettable memories of trek and homeland Nepal……..

I was placed in contact with Imperial Trekking Nepal. They organized everything in a complete package that included a wonderful guide, Ram Bhutta, all transportation costs, meals, accommodation and tea! The cost of my packages to the Annapurna Sanctuary and the Everest region were very reasonable, especially when compared to tour packages organized from Australia. Furthermore our itinerary was flexible as we were able to change plans midway through one of our treks. I cannot overemphasize the value of a guide on these treks, literally having one can save your life if you become unwell at high altitudes, as someone who knows the terrain is looking out for you. The Annapurna Sanctuary was a far harder trek. Lots of ups and downs. So make sure you’re fit. The fantastic food from this area makes the pain worthwhile. Everest is a visual feast but sadly the food is flown in from Kathmandu. When I come back I’ll stick to pasta.
