I had a great experience with this company. The owner/ manager Babu was very prompt in responding my queries. The teahouses selected for stay were comfortable and at very central locations. I chose to accept the sleeping bag and hiking poles offered in our package. The poles were nothing fancy but sufficient and sturdy for my trek. The sleeping bag was perfection! They also offered a down jacket but I didn’t take that as I had one of my own. Sounds like they have a lot of options for various budgets and hiking levels. They also offer several treks and adventures within Nepal.
Can’t wait to go on the next adventure with these guys

We did the Everest base camp track and Kalapather in 9 days with this company, our guide Dinesh and porter Gundas. We had a great time, good advises along the way and enjoyed the experience with them. And arrived back safely! Definitely recommend this company, guide and porter! Good luck and have fun at your adventure!

We have been going Gokyo trek with extension to 4th and 5th Gokyo lakes + climbing to Gokyo Ri. we had a guide, Samir Rai and one porter given by Great Himalaya agency. The guide was very friendly, professional, give us many info about Nepal nature, culture, interesting places and so on. The most important thing for him was our safety.

I did the luxury EBC trek in May 2022. Santosh was an amazing guide for nearly two weeks, and the porter was spectacular as well. The overall experience was as much as I could have asked for with everyone hard working, flexible, and responsive. Highly recommend this team if you’re considering EBC and request Santosh as a guide if possible.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp was my lifetime ambitious. I fulfilled it in October 2011. It is my lifetime experience and my life’s most memorable moment. The moment I reached the Everest base camp and the top of Kala Patthar was really awesome. It was like you were on the top of the world….well, not quite, but the sense of achievement you felt was beyond words. All these would not make possible without Adventure Great Himalaya Trek & Expedition (P) Ltd. Thanks to Mr. Babu (Managing Director of Adventure Great Himalaya).

I traveled alone and joined with a group of 15 trekkers from UK. I felt very comfortable with the group I went with. They were friendly and not to mentioned very funny as well. We turned into friends almost instantly. There were a lot of fun traveling with them and I am glad to have their company on my trip.

Our trek was fantastic. Everything was very well organized. Even when we had bad weather in Lukla and could not fly back to Kathmandu, the tour guide and the Trekking company managed to rearrange everything and we flew back to Kathmandu next morning.

On our trek, breakfast, lunch and dinner were very well served. We chose what we want from the menu. Food was fantastic and cooked in “clean” and “safe” kitchens. Adventure Great Himalaya provides us with great porters and lovely guides. Guides are very knowledgeable and have great experience in the Himalaya region. They were friendly , spoke good English and great singers as well. They always made sure that we got the best rooms in the lodge. Every night after dinner, we were brief by guides on the journey ahead next day. I personally found this very useful and communicative.

In Himalaya region, everywhere you look, there is great view. The astonish view is way beyond words could description. The sheer size of the mountains and valleys is something I have never experienced. Thanks to Adventure Great Himalaya for making my EBC trek a wonderful and memorable experience. If I decide to go back for another adventure in Nepal, I will definitely go with Adventure Great Himalaya. NAMASTE.

We used Adventure Great Himalaya for two different treks during our stay in Nepal. We came in December, during COVID times. Babu was very responsive to our inquiries and helped us successfully obtain our visas during these difficult traveling times. We compared this agency with multiple others and chose to work with Babu because he offered the most complimentary gear and services (cramp-ons, sleeping bags, heavy down jackets, emergency oxygen cans, trekking poles, duffle bags etc.). We are very glad we did. Upon arrival in Kathmandu everything went smoothly and we really experienced special adventures of a lifetime.

The first trek we did was EBC 3 Passes with our guide Krishna and porter Lama. Because of COVID there were hardly any travelers so many lodges/tea houses were closed. Krishna was very proactive in securing a place for us to sleep at night. For example, from his communications he found out there were no open lodges in the village Dzongla, so he coordinated with the owner of the Green Valley lodge to come up from Pangboche village to accommodate our stay. Another time the village we planned to have lunch at was unexpectedly empty, but good thing Krishna packed Mandarin oranges and Snicker bars which he shared with us, and Lama met us half way to our next stop with warm tea. Krishna’s English is very good, and communication was always clear. He is also very knowledgeable about the terrain and peaks in the Everest Region. We were impressed that he knew the elevation of every location we asked about. Overall we are very happy with both Krishna and Lama, and their expertise.

The second trek we did was Mardi Himal with our guide-cum-porter Ram. Although his English is not as good, his positive spirit was contagious and we really enjoyed his company. He referred to me as “little sister” in Nepali, and fittingly, like a big brother, he was always watching out for me. We are so grateful for Ram!

A Big thanks to Babu and his team for organizing this trip for us. 4-day trek in the foothills around Chisapani and Nagarkot warming up pre EBC, our Guide Rakesh was great fun and the chance to see rural Nepal was a real eye opener and enjoyable. Easy access from Kathmandu and good accommodation was also a plus. EBC/ Kala Pattar via the three high passes with trip to summit Island Peak 19 days, not including days in Kathmandu / Traveling. 30 days total. A Big thanks to Santosh and Buddha we could not have had a better team. A big plus for me was that Santosh is very flexible in his approach and was constantly looking at ways to help us succeed. We had our oxygen and pulse checked daily to ensure acclimatization was on track and occasionally he managed to get us rooms with private facilities which was appreciated.

We had to bring forward the climb up Island Peak as there was bad weather moving in,a good Call. This also meant that we had to skip the Khogmala pass however the alternative high traverse to Dughla and on to Lobuche was possibly the best days trekking I have done; the views were exceptional. Another person I’d like to mention is Nigma Sherpa my high-altitude climbing guide, without him I wouldn’t have got to the top, I submitted on my own and had it to myself for a short while, which was greatly appreciated. Top bloke I would climb with him any day. All in All, a very successful trip and yes, I would use this company again, in fact I’m already looking at options.

Thanks

I was extremely happy that we chose this company for our EBC trek. They guided our entire trip, from the moment that we landed in Kathmandu until we flew away. When we returned from Lukla and issues arose out of their control, they helped get us back to the city safely. Other travelers were stranded around us bc their guide companies didn’t care as much. I would highly recommend this company. I would also highly recommend Krishna as your guide. He kept us laughing the entire time. He was amazing!!!

Having searched the internet to organize an advance booking for our Everest Base camp Trekking holiday we came across the Adventure Great Himalayan Trekking website. I liked the look of the information and the apparent flexibility that was allowed with regard to how you wanted to plan and carry out your holiday.

All email contact in advance was responded to quickly, informative and helpful. On arrival we were met by Babu the company’s owner who showed us a warm welcome which set the scene for the entire trip.

We did the 14 days Everest base camp Trek – we loved it and the support we received from the company was great – at no point did we have any worries or concerns and we really could not have asked for any more. Arjun our guide was a great chap and he insisted that we operate as one family for the duration of our time – this we did and it worked very well….

We also organized white water rafting, an internal flight and accommodation via the company, all of which went to plan.

We hope to return to Nepal later and  trek to gokyo and  Everest base camp trek and of course will be using Adventure Great Himalayan Trekking again. We have requested Arjun be our guide.

I have no hesitation in recommending this company to you – feel free to email me should you have any further question.

Mt Everest 3/ Three High Pass Trekking

mt Everest Three High pass  Trekking in 14 days,  (because of bad weather I could not do Kogmo –la pass ) Fir a 69 years old retired programmer/ businessman, it was not bad job.

Originally I planned to do it independently but thought danger and decided to get a guide cum porter from a company Adventure great Himalaya. The Owner and general manager, Babu was very helpful. Since this was my first Mt. Everest Trekking, I had so many question, among many trekking companies on the internet, he was the only one responded quickly over ten time through internet.

For the bad weather, I had to fly in sep 16, by helicopter paying, $350 per person, stayed at Phakding next to Namache, the second day and stayed one more day for acclimation & dingboche, each day,  I failed to go to the summit & chukung Ri ( 5540m) for snowing, only stopped at 5,200m.

At EBC, (Everest Base camp) I met a wonderful guy plan to summit climbing from Australia preparing to start, he looked like hero with surrounding Himalayan Mountains. The mountains were amazing awe inspiring and memorizing. When I reached EBC around noon there was nobody around me, I decided to stay for long because I didn’t want leave.  Peoples, however begain coming in more and more .  finally I regretfully had to leave ebc around 1;30 pm. Fir all the noise of so many people.

Next morning I went to famous kalapather, standing 3:40 am it was freezing, cold (-10 degree) feared a lot of this climbing for all those scary you tube and internet stories.

It was not easy but not that scary, you will sweat while going up and freeze at the top. The down was grateful with all  those Surrounding Mountains. I waited and waited around 7 am, the sun came up shining at all the snow caped mountains. I sat watching and watching for two hours thinking how my life has been trivial and making up my mind to live bigger life. The same day I went to Dzong la a grateful tea shop, village right below cho la pass .

Many people do not realize or ignore the beauty of evening, night of mt Everest area sunset and moonrise at Goraksheph, Dzong la the rising moon was the brightest and most shining among the entire moon, I have evere seen.

Gokyo and Renjo la pass( Both at 5,360m high submerging the trekking when I visited torrid dl pine, I lost my word at Britannica view point for it mesmerizing beauty   But Gokyo Ri and Renjo la Pass are several times grand and beautiful. I can Say Mt. Everest 3 High pass Trekking is the number one trekking course in the world. If you do not want to regret visit these amazing mountains when a 69 years old guy  can do it in 14 days, probably all of you can do it.

Finally I would like to thank Gakul at hotel Mountain gateway for his kindness when I arrived and left.

This is my second trek with Adventure Great Himalaya from 6th to 29th October 2018. The first one was in 2015. Top marks to Mr Babu and his team for reliable and professional service; the entire trip was smooth and timely, thanks to AGH’s contacts to secure flights to and from Lukla. We never have a problem with lodges despite the peak October month and our itinerary was flexible according to our fitness during the trek. Our guide Lakpa and porters Anil and Ongchu were superb throughout the trip.
The in-house Mountain Gateway Hotel in Thamel was excellent for the price, with air-conditioning and hot showers working, located slightly off the busy streets and therefore avoid traffic noise and air pollution. Breakfast was good and substantial.
AGH also provided air conditioned car with driver to trips around and outside Kathmandu at very competitive price, cheaper than paying for a taxi without air-conditioning full day.

Entire our 30 days Nepal,  Abc and Everest 3 High pass Trekking, We found and feel the Adventure Great Himalaya is one of the best trekking company in Nepal.  Babu Karki and Adventure Great Himalayan Treks provided us with excellent services with mountain trekking guide Krishna Bhandari taking care of business on the mountains. All events in KTM including accommodation at Mountain Gateway Hotel were handled wonderfully by Babu. All trekking handled by Krishna was exceptional, arrangements at teahouses, meals, acclimatization was we’ll prepare and Krishna’s advice was well received by our group.

We had truly best time and unforgettable experience. everything  absolutely perfect  organization, nothing worry,  so  I would like to   Strongly recommend to Adventure Great Himalaya  if you are looking trekking in Nepal . You will get value of your money.
