Stories written on the trail.

Imperial did a great job of organising a trek to suite me. They were happy to go with just me. They were also happy to make the schedule to suite me which was travelling to Pokhara directly by road from India. My guide Shiva was excellent. We got on very well. As an older solo woman traveller Shiva showed me a lot of respect. He made sure I was well fed and looked after me with fresh fruit every night after dinner. He encouraged me to keep going when I was struggling and he made sure I was settled into my accommodation each night. It is not an easy trek as there are lots of ups and down, and lots of steps. I walked 160ks over the 9 days of the trek. A long trek but doable by anyone with reasonable fitness even at my age of 61. And we did make it Annapurna Base Camp. Shiva also made sure he got me back to Pokhara even after I contracted a chest infection after having a cold in the mountains. He carried some very good cold drugs to get me through the last 3 days while I was sick. The accommodation on the way was fine and I only shared once and that was because we couldn't stay at ABC due to wind damage earlier in the year so everybody was staying at MBC. The food was always very good at all the places we stayed at or stopped for lunch. I can highly recommended this trek and Shiva as a guide. Kate Lucas

I wanted to say thank you to Paras and entire Imperial Nepal team for making it easy and possible. Paras was very helpful to show all cool places around, and made adjustments to trip itinerary on the fly when it was necessary! Looking forward to come back to Nepal in May next year do participate in Honey hunting ;) Best, Anton

This is my second time coming to Nepal and the first person I called was Paras. Paras is an absolute pro at tailoring your trip to perfection! He can arrange anything you desire, from amazing trekking trips to finding great shoes in the local markets, Paras is with you every step of the way and he has a great team of workers as well! In addition to being such a skilled guide, Paras is great company with a wealth of knowledge about Nepal, he becomes not only your guide but also a friend. I love Paras and his team and I would not recommend anyone else! Kate A Muscat, Oman

During our entire stay in Nepal, we felt well looked after by Paras. On the trek itself we had a great guide in the form of Sujan and our porter Kila was superhuman. The two of them made the trip so very special. We always felt safe with Sujan and his advice helped us get through the few small issues we had with altitude sickness. They were a great team and great friends by the end of the trip too. Paras ensured we had a well needed break afterwards at Pokohara and the whole experience is one we would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Explore590582

Incredible service provided by Paras and our guide Gautam, I would recommend Imperial Nepal Treks to anyone doing a trek in Nepal. Paras is incredibly helpful and communicative and can arrange anything you need before and after the trek, he also communicated with us while we were trekking. Our guide Gautam really made the trip looking after the team and arranging everything perfectly to the last detail always ensuring the best for us. I am eternally grateful for making my the trip easy, enjoyable and special. Thank you! Alexander T

What an amazing trip! After getting a personal recommendation from a friend who completed the same trek with Imperial Nepal 2 years earlier it made sense to book with the same company. Paras was very helpful from the outset in organizing the trip and happy to help in any way possible. Nothing was too much trouble. Our guide and porters were amazing and we always felt safe and well looked after. I can thoroughly recommend this trek with Imperial Nepal. Lisa Wilkinson

I completed the EBC Trek and helicopter tour with Imperial Nepal in January 2019. Paras was extremely organised and made sure everything was sorted before I left Kathmandu. My guide Sujan was experienced and made the whole trip very enjoyable. Would recommend this company to any solo trekkers who are looking for an amazing hike where you can just enjoy the spectacular scenery and not worry about anything else! Lily F

I highly recommend Imperial Nepal for booking your EBC trek. Everything was organised perfectly and communication was excellent from the moment I booked till I left Kathmandu. Paras and Ram were very helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly during the trip. Hari was an excellent guide and took great care of us during the trek. Booking with a tour company is a must for first-time trekkers in the Himalayan region and Imperial Nepal will take good care of you! jugz97

I have just completed the 9 day Everest Base Camp Trek which was amazing. Many people told me that I should not use a guide. But I am so happy that I did. Hari from INT was amazing at organising everything along the way while making sure that I was happy and comfortable. The accommodation was good, the food was great and the experience was unforgettable. One of the great things about Hari’s adventure is how flexible he was with the itinerary. Because of my fitness we were able to go further each day and spend time doing other things. He is also remarkably experienced with 73 completed trips to BC with no AMS Symptoms. On day 1 he sets out the rules that you must follow if you want to make it to the top and if you follow, you’ll likely make it. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Hari from Imperial Nepal to anyone who wants to make the adventure. It is worth noting that you do need to have a good level of fitness for this trek because of the physical demands that it requires. Dannalflannal Sydney, Australia

Imperial Nepal arranged our 14-day trip that included 9 days of trekking to Annapurna Base Camp. From Kathmandu Airport pickup to Airport drop-off, everything was handled by them. We had great hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, reliable transport and best of all the great guides Mani and Shiva on the trek. They took care of the stays, the meals, helping us on the way if we needed help. Great atttitude! Very friendly. Weather turned out to be very nice too. Spectacular views, great places to stay. Would love to do another Himalaya trek again. And will definitely chose Imperial Nepal. ArvindR403 Beaverton, Oregon
