JOURNEY TO EVEREST

"I had always dreamed of doing the Everest Trek, and when I finally got the chance to do it, I was thrilled! I feel very fortunate to have been in the company of the Mount Adventure Holidays Team because they gave me no reason to complain at all. Every service I received was top-notch, from the food to the guesthouses, porters, and guiding services. My guide, Pasang, was very skilled and made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. The trip was amazing, and I'm so glad I chose NHT! Their prompt responses, kind gestures, and excellent organization of the trip convinced me that I was with professionals from the start. I highly recommend the Mount Adventure Holidays Team for being one of the most reliable tour agencies in Nepal." ...more ...less

"I am extremely satisfied and happy to have been a part of one of the greatest treks in the world, located under the foothills of the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest. My experience here was remarkable, and I would have regretted it if I had missed this trip. I want to express my gratitude and thanks to Mount Adventure Holidays and their team, as without them, this trip would not have been as successful. They were kind and cheerful throughout the entire journey. Thus, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to them and hope to see them again next year for another trek in Nepal." ...more ...less

"INCREDIBLE TREK TO EVEREST BASE CAMP"

24-Jul-2020

The breathtaking 9–12 day Everest Base Camp Trek takes place in the stunning Himalayan mountain range. I highly recommend Mount Adventure Holidays and Pasang, who run the company. He took excellent care of me as a solo traveler, making all necessary arrangements and ensuring I had all the required trekking gear. Pasang uses guides based in Lukla, so the price of flying a guide from Kathmandu to Lukla isn't included in the price. Overall, I highly recommend him for any trekking in Nepal! ...more ...less

" GREAT EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK"

24-Jul-2020

"We completed the Everest Base Camp trek in 11 days - 7.5 days to ascend, 2.5 days to descend, and fly out of Lukla on the 11th day. Although we were moving at a quicker pace, we were able to manage fairly well. Reaching Kala Patthar was physically challenging, but the breathtaking views made it worth it. The descent was a bit difficult as we had to cover 40km in just 2 days. I would highly recommend the 11-day trek if you're short on time. Despite the pace, we never felt overly exhausted." ...more ...less
