Icicles adventures classic Everest base camp trek June 2025 - Incredible adventure, it was everything I had hope for and a lot more. The scenery, the journey and the wonderful Nepali people made this a peacefully thrilling trip. I can’t thank the team at icicles adventures enough for their attention to detail and the care they put into making my adventure the very best of times. I’m looking forward to coming back to this amazing country at some point in the future.

Team Jam Jam Icicles - This was a trip of a lifetime, made so much better by going with Icicles Adventure treks & Tours. From Indira answering all our questions, organising extra days at the Ramada Encore (Fantastic hotel) and organising a tour for myself, partner and daughter to explore the beautiful Kathmandu. Our tour Guide Ramchandra Khatiwada did the most fantastic Job on our 12 days trekking the EBC, we were very blessed with Ram & Lal (assistant guide) and had awesome porters, our gear was always waiting for us on arrival at the teahouses. The whole trek ran smoothly. I will highly recommend this company going forward, I had the best time and have made lifelong friends. I will be back :) Lisa Waenga & Kyle Russell

EBC Trek, experience of a lifetime 👍 - Everest base camp trek: Flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. Experience of a lifetime! Went with my partner and was part of a group of 10 plus 2 guides plus 5 porters. Icicles team were well organised, and we always felt well supported from the arrival in Kathmandu and to our safe return. The arranged accommodation was excellent throughout; yes it gets more spartan as you get higher but the Nepalese are warm and welcoming hosts throughout. The Icycle guides are amazing and can't do enough for you. Massive shout out to Prakash our lead guide; diligent care and patience with our group, very knowledgeable of mountains, felt very safe with him in charge. There are serious physical and altitude acclimatisation issues to deal with, and as far as I could see everyone is affected to some extent. I felt that we were professionally monitored and observed; but do expect this to be a challenge. Without doubt i think it’s worth the discomfort for an absolutely incredible adventure. Would use Icicles again.

Everest Base Camp Trek - We did the EBC trek with Icicles, I couldn't recommend them more to anyone wishing to partake in any of their trips. The trip was absolutely phenomenal, everything was planned and carried out brilliantly to ensure the whole expedition ran smoothly. Indira was very supportive, helpful and informative throughout, as well as welcoming us on our arrival into Kathmandu. Our Guide Prabin was excellent making sure that we were well throughout and was very knowledgeable of the surroundings which he pointed out to us along the way. We had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thank you Indira, Prabin and the whole Icicles team!!

One of the best experiences of my life with great friends and an amazing Team to guide us. - This was the greatest adventure I have ever been on. Icicles did an amazing job from start to finish. We had the most accommodating guide in Prakash and his team of Praveen and others. Prakash slotted into our team just like one of us and looked after us impeccably. The whole team did a phenomenal job and I can’t speak highly enough of them. Thank you Icicles for the best experience.

EBC Trek - Absolutely fantastic trip, organised seamlessly from start to finish! Prakash was our guide and Dekesh was our assistant guide and I can’t praise either of them more strongly. They made us feel safe, ensuring all of the 10 people in the group made it to Everest Base Camp! I would highly recommend icicles for their professionalism and good communication. An exhausting, memorable and incredible trek.

Such an incredible tour company, highly recommend! - Icicles were amazing, not a bad word to say about the whole trip. The team ran it incredibly smoothly from start to finish. TN was an amazing guide, knowledgeable about the mountains and always brought a smile to everyone's faces even when it was tough! I couldn't recommend booking with them enough!

Summiting Everest Base Camp: A Journey of Gratitude with Icicles, Prakash the Card Shark, and a Team of Sherpas - Very well organised experience trekking to EBC with Icicles. We cannot thank Prakash our lead guide, Praveen and the rest of the Sherpas enough. This was an experience of a lifetime and these words cannot describe how accomplished we all feel. It felt so much more being led by this organization and team. Prakash's personal touch, from playing cards(he’s a card shark) with us to sharing our jokes(trip advisor review), 😂 truly added warmth to this adventure. Well done and thank you for the memories.
