EBC during monsoon - I’ve trekked to Everest Base Camp during the monsoon season by jeep with Nepal Nirvana Trails and I’ve had a blast with the team ! Especially Raju, my guide, who has been here for me at any time, is super kind, reassuring and fun. I’ve spent such a good time with him on the trails for 2 weeks straight and always felt safe even in tough conditions ! He took care of me and made sure I acclimatized properly to the altitude. He was there for me 100%. Definitely recommand the experience and Raju for sure !

The trek of my life - This is the second time I come to Nepal. The first time was two years ago with my company also organized by Nepal Nirvana Trails and I had good experience and friendships, so this time when I decide to go solo - I go with them again, and again they gave me the best experience possible. Abinash was not only my guide but also my friend and helped me took so many great photos. Amis, the porter, is so very friendly and we share many great memories and experience together. And KP as the organizer, with his long time experiences and wide connections, had been very nice to me (he personally received me from the airport), help arrange helicopter flights both to and from lukla when my flights are canceled due to weather (with very very big discount, amount to almost 1/4 of the price others had to pay), not to mention he was willing to lend me some cash at the end of the trip (i had problem with my credit card being suspended) without any reservation. Overall, the service provided was great, the package price is the cheapest when i research around for similar trek route. You cannot be wrong to go with KP and his company.

Highlight in our travel - Not only KP and his son and daughter run a very nice family business, they also employ very good guides who take you on a wonderful trip! We did Everest Three Passes trek and had the chance to customize it our way. We did it in 19 days and were in the company of Raju, a very kind and caring guy. We did quite a few side treks during the trek but always had the chance to do it on our own speed. Raju also informed us about everything in advance, which we thought was great. It was a tough trek due to some sickness but we all managed to finish! This thanks to the caring attitude of both the guide and company owner KP. We sure recommend this company and will not hesitate to contact them if we are ever back in the beautiful Nepal! Never Ending Peace And Love!

Memorable, amazing, terrific once in a lifetime experience - Amazing, amazing, amazing. From beginning to end, Nepal Nirvana Trails made us feel right at home with their incredible hospitality, perfectly crafted tours, fantastic prices and most importantly, absolutely beautiful people. When we first thought of doing the EBC trek, we were scared we would have to manage so many things ourselves and plan each day out, worry about how to carry our things and what to eat- all the small but important details. KP and his team came in and solved all of that with great care. And the best part? We got to have our amazing guide Uttar with us throughout this trek and couldn’t recommend him and his company more. He was so knowledgeable about Nepalese culture, trek tips and tricks and even fauna that just makes the whole trip even more special. He came with many stories and was our best friend for the whole trip. If you’re thinking of this trek, I would highly recommend Nepal Nirvana Trails. Even after the trip, we are still in touch and can’t wait to go back!

Individual trekking Gokyo, Cho La and EBC - Just returned from a perfect trip around Gokyo, Cho La pass and Everest Base Camp with my wife and our three adult daughters. We wanted an individual journey where we could decide the distances, pace etc. Here we got invaluable help from Nirvana Trails who arranged domestic flight Rhamchang to Lukla, 2 porters in Lukla etc. The porters did a fantastic job. In addition to carrying approx. 15-20 kg, they provided accommodation, ordering and paying for food at the cabins along the way, which could otherwise be quite chaotic. Even when we changed plans, everything was handled in the best way. All appointments with Nirvana Trails were made via email. We clarified all doubts before departure and everything worked as planned and then it was approx. 8,000 Danish kroner cheaper per person compared to Danish travel agencies.

Amazing EBC - We did the EBC with our guide Raj and the whole two weeks were truly amazing. Our guide Raj was very kind, helpful and patient with us, we could learn a lot from him about the culture of the different ethnic groups, history and nature. It was great to get to know him more closely and to be a part of Nepalese life a little. The organization by the company was perfect, we couldn't have wished for better, they were very attentive and flexible, the best trekking company I can be sure of that. We are very grateful to KP and the entire company for everything that helped make our long-awaited dream come true. We will never forget this experience! Thank you!

An unforgettable experience - Thank you so much to Kul and Uttar, an unforgettable experience made even better by Nepal Nirvana Trails. We were lucky enough to get the legend Uttar as our guide which made the trip even better. Uttar always had our best interests at heart, if any of us felt unwell he was able to guide us and make us feel at ease. I unfortunately got a virus whilst on the climb and Uttar was always there to help, he went above and beyond and I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without him. Kul was always checking it to ensure our safety and encourage us to always think positively- (A positive mindset definitely helped!) Throughout the trek Nepal Nirvana went above and beyond for us - even hosting us for a celebratory dinner when we returned to Kathmandu. Their knowledge of the mountain is undeniable and I will be recommending everyone to use this company going forward ! Thanks again guys

Nepal Nirvana trails made this the trip of a lifetime. - Unbelievable trip, the whole of Nepal and the expedition itself. So many amazing memories and photos. The guys at Nepal nirvana trails were incredibly helpful, Kul (KP) made it all happen and pulled on some connections he knew to make sure things went as smoothly as they did for us, which was so important as there’s a lot of organised chaos in general. It was unbelievable to have a safe pair of hands and managed to get our excursion fitted into our time frame even though there were different issues at the airport effecting all groups. Our guide Uttar was just so amazing and very funny. On a serious note uttar stepped in when we needed medical assistance and literally went the extra mile, heading out in the dark to pick up meds a couple of hours away. On a less serious note, he kept the group laughing and was very informative throughout the whole trip. It is essential you have a mountain guide such with this level of knowledge when the likes of altitude sickness are at play. Can’t recommend the guys enough.

Amazing EBC experience! - Nepal Nirvana were absolutely amazing from start to finish in sorting out my Everest Base camp trekking experience! I had friends from the UK who had previously booked through this company and put me in touch. I spoke with KP (the manager and owner) on the phone before I left for Nepal and he had booked flights and itinerary for my trek very soon after speaking with him. This meant when I arrived in Nepal a few days later everything was already sorted for me and didn’t have to worry about finding a trek tour once I arrived to Nepal. Before I left for the trek I was given a very good sleeping bag and cramp ons to rent and water purification tablets.. all of which were essential for my trek and saved me a lot of money in not having to buy them myself. I was also able to leave excess luggage in their office free of charge. During my 14 day trek, my guide Raju was amazing the whole way through. Was great fun spending time with him on the mountains! He was very good at looking after me, especially on the last 2 days where I got quite sick he carried my bag for me on the last 2 days hiking as I wasn’t able to. Would highly recommend booking through Nepal Nirvana for any trekking experiences in Nepal!
