Highly recommend Himalayan Leisure - perfect organisation - I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek, and it truly was the trip of a lifetime! The entire experience was very well organised by Himalayan Leisure and Upendra the Director in Kathmandu. I cannot thank the team enough for making it seamless and enjoyable. From pick-up at the airport, to checkin at the hotel and the briefing all was sorted in a way to make it easy and all questions were answered. The reverse process after the hike too was easy and seamless. A huge shout-out to our guide, Aasham, who went above and beyond to ensure everything worked out perfectly. His knowledge, patience, and attention to detail made the trek not only manageable but thoroughly enjoyable. He was always there to motivate, guide, and share insights about the region. Tashi delek - Oliver Kahn ;) If you're considering this trek, I wholeheartedly recommend this operator. From start to finish, everything met my expectations. Thank you for an unforgettable journey! A few tips for the winter hikers: - Bring more warm close for the teahouses. This is the time you will feel the cold. In the sun during the hike the temperatures are just perfect. - Check if there are options (at cost) to have a bit of a warmer night. Some teahouses might have some nice add ons like electric blankets. I paid an extra for single occupancy with bathroom/toilet, where available. Was worth it! - Make your water bottle a 'hot water bottle' and put it in your sleeping bag in the night. Nice side effect you have warm water in the morning to drink and brush your teeth. - Bring a warm hat for the night and some earplugs (these dogs!) - Don't get neurotic about water supply. There are drinking options all along the way in the start and check with your guide towards the end. - Follow your guides advise regarding food and drinks Relax and enjoy! It is magic.

EBC Nov 24 - Himalayan Leisure is an amazing customer oriented company! I went with my girlfriend on Nov 24 and they met our expectatives and over delivered in some areas. Hari their guide, is super attentive and patient, he is not missing any detail while guiding or taking care of you. Lekan* the porter, is also an incredible human being and profesional. The quality of the hotels that this company will book for you is good and sometimes exceeds what you will pay for. My girlfriend did experience some altitude sickness and everyone in the company was really attentive to take care of her. I would definitely recommend this company.

Dream EBC Trek with Himalayan Leisure - Everest Base Camp trek had been on my list for a long time and Upendra helped me plan the perfect trip from the get go. He was patient, answered all my questions and explained the various options over a long period of time to ensure I was able to book the dream trip I wanted without any hassles. Once I reached Nepal, he managed all the logistics to ensure I had the smoothest trip possible. On the trek, my guide was Kumar and he was the best guide once could ask for. On the morning of the start of the trek, as flights weren't taking off, he made sure we got a helicopter to start the trek instead of endless waiting at the airport for flights to take off. When I fell sick in Namche, he offered me the right advise and was very flexible in his plans to make sure that I was able to continue my trek without risking any further health issues. He listened to what I wanted to do on the trek and where I wanted to stop and then offered me various options accordingly. The entire trek was an absolutely wonderful experience and despite falling sick on the trail and occasionally struggling with the cold and the altitude, Kumar and the Himalayan Leisure team ensured I was able to have a great experience and still fulfill my dream of trekking to the Everest base camp. I could not recommend Kumar as a guide highly enough for your trek in Nepal and the team at Himalayan Leisure to plan your trek.

The best - We were actually with another company but fortunately had the pleasure of walking with another couple that were with Himalayan Leisure. Their guide and porter, Lal and Numraz, were exceptionally helpful, kind, funny and knowledgeable. They were always offering to help where possible and were always so happy and supportive. If you are considering doing EBC; you should absolutely pick Lal and Numraz as your guide and porter! You’re guaranteed to have an amazing time.

Once in a lifetime trip - It is hard to express in words how incredible this trip was… a once in a lifetime trip made even more incredible by our wonderful guide, Lal and porter, Numraj. Lal and Numraj worked so well together and it was truly lovely to see our porter so present (other groups didn’t have the same experience)… this gave us lots of laughs and we felt looked after the entire trip. Without a doubt, Lal was the best guide we have ever had! He went above and beyond every day, including arranging a birthday cake for my partner. Despite my 1000 questions, Lal answered everyone with a huge smile and it’s clear how knowledgeable he is! Numraj also went above and beyond as our porter and even helped carry our bags to the airport after he had officially stopped being a porter. When we were struggling to breathe at high altitude, Numraj stepped in to offer help. Not only was he helpful to us he even offered to carry the day bags of friends we made on the way when they were also struggling. A wonderful trip and I really cannot recommend enough!

Lal and Numraj were the best people we have ever met. - My girlfriend got me the 12 day EBC trek as a birthday present. We were just a pair of 2. We had Lal and Numraj with us for the 12 days and without a doubt they were the most kind, caring and knowledgeable people. They were incredible from day 1 to day 12 and looked after us like we were a family. They organised absolutely everything each day so that all we had to worry about was walking. If you book, I'd recommend asking for Lal and Numraj, they worked so well together (together for 10 years so far) and made the trip unforgettable!

The driving force behind making our EBC trek possible - We are incredibly happy and fortunate to have chosen Upendra and Himalayan Leisure for our Everest Base Camp trek! From the very beginning, our experience was seamless. I initially reached out to several companies with questions, and Upendra stood out with his clear and straightforward responses - no hard selling, just simple, honest, and to-the-point answers. I explained that we preferred a private trek with just a guide and two porters for the three of us, allowing us to move at our own pace and pay for each day as needed. Over the next few months, we exchanged countless emails, and I greatly appreciated Upendra's time, patience, and dedication as our initial idea gradually transformed into a well-organized plan. When we arrived in Nepal, it was just two weeks after a devastating monsoon had caused severe flooding and landslides, washing away roads and bridges. These challenges made reaching Lukla - a starting point for the EBC trek - a logistical nightmare, forcing many travellers to cancel their plans or switch to other trekking regions. However, Upendra devised a flexible and adaptive plan, complete with contingencies (Plans A, B, C, and even D!) based on weather, closures and other factors. Long story short, - after a private transfer to Ramechhap via challenging alternative routes and facing delays at Manthali airport due to weather, flight backlog and grounded airplanes, Upendra pulled his strings to secure us a helicopter ride to Lukla. His effort allowed us to finally begin our trek. Our guide, Hari, was another highlight of our journey. He was funny, easygoing, helpful, informative, encouraging, and incredibly patient - especially when our pace reached snail/turtle speed at higher altitudes. He made the experience truly enjoyable, and we were lucky to have him by our side. We had such a great time with him! At the end of the trek, Upendra exceeded expectations once again by arranging for our flight from Lukla to Kathmandu (those flights were so rare as most go to Ramechhap during the high season), saving us the gruelling 7-8 hr road transfer from Ramechhap. We were so grateful for this, especially after completing such an exhausting trek. From handling helicopter payments to providing high-quality duffel bags and the warmest sleeping bags (which were lifesavers during those dreaded cold nights), the list of little details in between is endless! He even passed and surprised us with fresh fruits like apples and pomegranates, which were “prepared” by our guide Hari after each dinner - a thoughtful touch of the daily dose of vitamins that boosted our health when such luxuries were scarce on the menu :) The combination of Upendra’s organizational skills, our guide Hari’s expertise, the support of our hardworking porters, and the carefully selected teahouses (many with private toilets - a true comfort during freezing nights! 😊) made this adventure unforgettable. Upendra’s ability to adapt plans, rebook flights, switch airlines, and provide seamless assistance during the trek is truly what you need during an adventure like this! We would not be able to do it without him! We feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have had Upendra and his team by our side. Many fellow trekkers we met shared stories of cancelled plans or redirected routes because their providers couldn’t overcome logistical challenges, or as they said “their companies were not able to come through and find a solution to get to a start of EBC trek”. Thanks to Upendra and Himalayan Leisure, we completed our Everest Base Camp trek without a hitch. If you choose Himalayan Leisure for your next adventure in Nepal, - you will be in good (I would say BEST!) hands. Upendra, we are forever grateful for everything you did for us!

EBC and Cho La Pass perfect trek! - Upendra and our guide Kumar took really great care of us to make sure we not only got the trip we wanted but also that it went perfectly. Their communication was excellent as we planned the trip over a number of months. Kumar was on top of everything during the trek, even making sure my friend had a birthday cake and candles in one of the tea houses. The company is well known and they have good contacts with airlines and tea houses meaning we got the best flights and better rooms than we may have. Due to Kumar’s timing, we were also on the trail early and had the Himalayas to ourselves sometimes. It was a beautiful experience. Thanks Kunar!
