Best E.B.C trek ever

Imperial was an amazing company to trek with, our guides Shiva and Suman went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could possibly be, they had so much knowledge, were keen to have a laugh and joke along the way. Made us feel like royalty, cannot thank them enough. Keen to come back next year for another adventure!! Wayne H

Kind staff all-around! Great experience! Packed a ton of activities in

Our trip started with a day to acclimatize and adjust to timezones in Kathmandu. We went to the Chandragiri cable car -- which is a great first activity, especially if it's a clear day. Then, we went for a 6-day roundtrip trek to Namche Bazaar. Our trip planner, Paras did a great job ensuring us that we had seats on the hard-to-get flight to Lukla. Our trekking guide, Shiva, was very kind and lots of fun. We danced going over suspension bridges and played lots of card games altogether in the evening. Our porters were also incredibly kind, and we can't thank them enough. After our trip in the mountains, we had time to add on a trip to Chitwan where we saw lots of crocodiles and rhinos. Our guide, Raj, was incredibly knowledgable. We also did whitewater rafting and then on the last day before our flight did a city tour to many temples in Kathmandu. Altogether, we didn't have to worry about very many logistics despite packing A LOT of stuff into a 10-day trip -- all thanks to Imperial Treks.

15 Days EBC trek with Imperial Nepa

This is my second trek in Nepal with Imperial Nepal and I am glad that I made this decision. Due to the weather problem, we were not able to take the flight to Lukla. However, Mr. Parash (manager) quickly helped to rearrange the transport and made another plan so we can finish the trek as we planned. Mr. Hari, our guide is the very experienced one and very helpful during the trek. He made the good arrangement about the accommodation and other stuff all along the trek. I really appreciate his effort and help. This was not an easy trip for us but Hari was very encouraging and helped us to achieve our goal. It was really a fantastic and unforgettable trip. wnn

A well organized trek

I completed the Annapurna base camp trek with Imperial Nepal in September/October 2023. Shiva worked as my guide and Bharat worked as the porter. Both of them were very helpful. It was a well organized trek and I am happy with the service provided by Imperial. Mohammad S

Trekking in Nepa

Last year we trekked Langtang with Imperial and this year we did the Manaslu trek, They are a really good company well priced and you are looked after from start to finish. Our guide Nirmal was excellent very attentive, and when at 5200m I had ran out of water, he trekked down to a glacier to fill it up. I would definitely recommend Imperial and hope to come to Nepal again, beautiful country , beautiful people inside and out . Leon D

Helambu & Shivapuri Natl Park Trek 8 days.

Hari my guide and Ramesh my porter for the week were absolutely superb from start to finish. The Helambu Circuit Trek 7 nights and took us up to 3,700 metres altitude where the stunning Langtang mountain range stretched off into the distance. The first few days were long and come the end of the day you were well in need of the delicious cuisine I had throughout the entire Nepal trip. I could not fault the trek and the days were warm and dry and the nights comfortably warm. No rain was had and shorts were worn other than one night at Thadepati where the long pants came out !! Imperial Nepal will no doubt find a trek of your lifetime to suit you. They certainly did for me. Next time it will be Everest region for me. Thanks Hari Ramesh Rama- & Ram for bringing us together for a superb Nepal experience. See you again soon I hope !! Scott W

Amazing 10 Day EBC Trek with Helicopter return with Ram Regimi and Shiva (guide)

I recently went on a 10 day EBC trek, Helicopter return with Imperial Nepal and had an amazing experience. The company was very professional and organized, specifically owner Ram Regimi. He took care of everything the moment we landed at the airport, airport pickup, from our accommodation to our meals, all transportations and gear. The guide, Shiva Lamsal, was knowledgeable and experienced, and he made sure that we were safe and comfortable at all times. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and I would highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Here are some specific things that I appreciated about the company's service: They were very responsive to my questions and inquiries before the trip. They provided detailed information about the trek, including the itinerary, gear list, and packing list. They arranged for all of our transportation and accommodation, which made things very easy for us. The guide, Shiva Lamsal, was very knowledgeable about the area and the trek, and he was always willing to answer our questions. They were very safety-conscious and made sure that we were always prepared for the conditions. They provided us with delicious meals and snacks throughout the trek and upgraded our rooms where possible. They were very accommodating and flexible, and they were always willing to work with us to make sure that we had the best possible experience. Ram would check on us daily to ensure we were safe and complete our trip. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Imperial Nepal and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great EBC trek. Ram and Shiva were amazing at all times. Kris K

EBC Trek with Shiv (guide) and organized by Paras , great guys and 5 stars from me!

We did the EBC trek taking around 13 days with Paras and Shiv. No complaints at all and the trip was all very well organized from start to finish. I was suffering from leg injury and Shiv (guide) was accommodating in my pace and complaining along the way. Had a fantastic time and plan to book with these guys for 2024, EBC trip itself was fantastic and good to know the team was there to cater for all our needs! Bonus for Paras was that he managed to sort direct flights from KTM to Lukla return cutting out the Ramechaap detour flights, well worth it in my opinion as saved as countless hours stuck on a bus!

Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Trek

We completed the Everest Base Camp + Gokyo Trek with our guide, Gautam, and had a wonderful time. The views were just stunning… it almost felt like we were on another planet!! The team really took care of us and made sure we were comfortable everywhere we stayed. If you have the fitness, don’t mind adding a few extra days to your trek and want to experience the trail with less crowds then I’d definitely recommend adding the Gokyo trek onto EBC. From the very beginning, even when arriving in Kathmandu, the staff were very accommodating and made things so easy for us. We loved the experience so much that at the end we rested for a few days then booked the Annapurna Circuit trek with the same company! Brianna P

Most amazing Nepal experience

I had perhaps my most amazing trekking trip so far with Imperial Nepal Tours! I did EBC and Gokyo trekking, as well as a tour of Kathmandu. All was easy and smooth to book and organise, all my requests were taken into account, thanks to Ram, my tour manager. The trek was an incredible adventure thanks to my wonderful guide Dinesh - I visited breathtaking places and had so much fun! At all times I felt secure and very well cared about. I just can’t wait to be back for another trekking tour with you, guys! El L

Our second trek with Imperial Nepal!

Our trek up to Annapurna Base Camp was our second trek organised through Imperial Nepal and again we were extremely satisfied with both the experience of the trip and the professionalism and helpfulness of Paras! Due to time constraints we needed a trek tailored to our time and Paras was so helpful in accommodating us. Everything was organised from start to end and ran seamlessly with no surprises. We were lucky enough to have our guide from our previous EBC trek, Gautem and he really made it for us. His knowledge, friendly attitude and sheer amount of energy really made the trip for us! On big memorable experiences like this, into places like the Himalayas you really do need to choose a company with experience and on the ground knowledge, contacts and networks. Imperial Nepal is just that company. We are already planning our next Himalayan adventure for 2025! Justin T
