Amazing trekking with Escape Himalaya! - We had an amazing 12-day trekking with Escape Himalaya from Kathmandu to Pokhara, Poonhill and Annapurna Base Camp. There were 19 of us, mostly in our 50s with mixed fitness. There were two young kids as well, with the youngest one 3 years old. Escape Himalaya helped organised everything for us (airport pickup/delivery with welcoming flowers/goodbye scarfs; accommodation, transportation, food, duffel bag transportation between accommodations). Raj, Suman and Bassau were amazing guides! They were very experienced and professional. They were also special to us: the father of Suman, and Bassau were already the guides for our group leader around 20 years ago! Their friendship and trust are invaluable for all of us! Bassau had more than 17 years of experience with the abc trekking, he knows everything about the trails if not every step of it. Everything looked so easy for them! The guides started to help carry our day packs when some of us were out of shape. At one point, Bassau was carrying four day packs for us! They were also flexible and took care of new things, big and small: booking of flights instead of bus, new booking of horses/jeeps. For example, Raj helped plan optimized midway return routes for some of us. In short: the trekking with Escape Himalaya is one of the most memorable trips for me, leading into a great new year of 2025.

Must go. - The best tour guide👍🏻
If there is a better room type, will help us fight.
Because of the big fog, the small aircraft can not fly, the guide worked hard to help fight for the helicopter, not a moment to rest, let us succeed in catching the plane to Kathmandu.
Great scenery, although very tired, but definitely worth it💕
Once in a lifetime

Relaxed EBC Pilgrimage (Escape Himalaya) - Escape Himalaya planned the EBC and Gokyo mountaineering in Taiwan a year ago. The reasonable price meets our budget, the Guide Group and Porters serve our group of 13 people, with the experience of flexible arrangements for high mountain riders to base camp and timely withdrawal, so that all 13 of us reach the EBC safely, it is difficult. Joining Raj’s Escape team gave me the peace and pleasure of this EBC pilgrimage and the perfect experience at Gokyo, a mountainous lake.

Amazing trekk - We did the EBC and chola passes trek with Escape Himalaya trek Communication prior to the trip was perfect and clear. The trip itself was, although demanding, a great experience. Raj was our guide, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Even though we had some drawbacks Raj knew how to tailor the itenerary so that we would achieve all our goals. High level of trekking and mountain guide. Compared to other agencies, Escape Himalaya Trek succesfully tries to add a bit of extra service resulting in a higher-end experience

Trip of a Lifetime! - I completed a trek to EBC in Nov 2023 with Escape Himalaya and Raj as our guide. Raj was absolutely amazing, he was so knowledgeable and professional. You can tell he really cares about giving his clients the best experience and taking care of everybody. Our porters, Khud and Depak were great also and we couldn’t have done the trek without their assistance. Without a doubt I would recommend Escape Himalaya to anyone looking for a trekking company in Nepal.

Amazing Trek to EBC with this Group! - Raj with Escape Himalaya is hands down the best guide for any trek in the Himalayas! We did a private EBC trek (November 15th through the 25th) and had an absolutely amazing time. Throughout the duration of the trek Raj, and both our porters, Depak and Khud, did an excellent job of keeping us safe along the way. This group has many years of experience guiding and it shows. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful every step of the way. From the airport pickup to the accommodations, and helping us maintain safe trekking speeds to avoid altitude sickness, everything ran smoothly, adding to the overall experience of the trip.
If you are looking to do any of the treks offered through Escape Himalaya, you will not regret going with this company - they are the best!!

Mardi Himal trekking and Chitwan trip - I did the Mardi Himal trekking and the Chitwan trip in Sept 2023. Escape Himalaya was my choice of travel agency again this time. I was very pleased that Raj, the manager and the top guide, led the whole trip in person. He is a very nice person and is an experienced, trustworthy and caring guide. With the well organised arrangements in the trekking, transportation, accommodation, meals, etc., the whole trip was completed satisfactorily and safely. I would strongly recommend the choice of Escape Himalaya and Raj for trekking trip in Nepal.

A wonderful experience more than we expect - We are senior group of 10 from Taiwan. We had all complete ABC trek in mid Oct. 2023. Which is indeed a wonderful experience with Escape Himalaya Trek.
The arrangement of whole trip is smooth and pleasant.
The guide Arun is professional and super nice. Food, accommodation, trekking control..... We won't make it without him.

Everest base camp trek - We did an EBC trek with an amazing guide Krishna and we really enjoyed it! The trek was not physically challenging, well planned and with beautiful mountain views.
We were quite lucky with the weather: there was only one rainy day and the rest of the trek was sunny and warm. We did the trek at the beginning of high season, so there were quite a lot of trekkers.
During the trek we stayed in guest houses located in small villages. Guest houses provide a blanket and a pillow, you do need some additional layers for higher altitude (sleeping bag, clothes) as there is no heating in the bedrooms. It is generally not recommended to drink tap water in Nepal, but you can buy bottled water in every village, or use tap water with filters and purifying tablets.
The trek of course comes with its own challenges, but we would really recommend it: lots of new experiences, beautiful photos to take home and amazing memories!
