Great trekking agency - Great trekking agency. I did Everest base camp and Kala Patthar via the Lawudo Gompa monastery and everything went very well. Lok came to pick me up from the airport. With Amber, they took the time to explain the trek itinerary to me and then, at my request, they checked if I had all the necessary equipment before departure. Then the communication with Amber was excellent. He answered all my questions. During the trek, I had Pemba who is a young guide, dedicated and very kind! He made the whole trek go as smoothly as possible for me. I also had a very nice porter. I have wonderful memories of this trek! It’s a difficult but unforgettable experience! Thank you for everything ! I recommend 100%

Kudos to the wonderful folks at Three Jewels! - My son and I recently completed a trip with Three Jewels. While setting things up we had several major changes in our schedules and had to revise our plans. Amber worked with us on every detail and accommodated our changing schedule. This helpful attention to details continued with the incredible support of our guide, Nursang. He was there helping out every step of the way. And the beauty of the Himalayas and cultural diversity of Nepal were unsurpassed. This was the trip of a lifetime! Would recommend Three Jewels to anyone planning a trek in Nepal.

The memory remains still fresh and open as the sky surrounding Lawudo - A genuinely life altering, life affirming expedition to the beautiful remote and breathtaking Lawudo Gompa. The memory remains still fresh and open as the sky surrounding this magnificent place. There is a mystery to this place that stays with you long after your decent. Amber and his team were warm and friendly. Always two steps ahead of your needs and dependable in every way. They are as much part of the memory as the friends made in the group. A manageable trek and a forever memory. Thank you to everyone.

Peaceful & Life Changing Trip to Lawudo - I did the 9 day guided trek in Everest region with three nights at Lawudo Gompa. It was an amazing experience and Amber and his team took care of everything from planning, itinerary, questions, etc. I knew nothing about Buddhism or mediation and the experience was still worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself through talking to the few other travelers and nuns on retreat there in discussions on meditation and buddhism. The Gompa is well off the beaten trek from Everest region in a beautiful location high in the mountains with great views. Accommodations are basic but comfortable. Food is amazing. I highly recommend this tour with Amber and his team for a potentially life changing experience!

All done with patience and genuine caring - It is the 2nd time that I participated in a retreat trekking led by Three Jewels Adventures: the 1st in 2018 and just returned few weeks ago from a 2nd one. The level of attention we received from Amber, our expert guide and his wonderful supporting team was awesome. Amber always picked yummy restaurants while on the trek and was able to accommodate any requests, may it be for upgrades or suggestions for shopping or visits. All done with patience and genuine caring. A totally 5 stars experience.

Perfect guides for all levels - I would rate 10 stars if I could - every step of the way (literally) safety was the priority and our group was completely taken care of and supported. There were some weather issues with rain but Amber and his team handled it with diligence and where other treks had to cancel we made it to our destination with minimal disruption. I recommend highly for other trekkers especially anyone without experience as they will absolutely look after you!

An experience like no other! - I cannot speak too highly of Amber and his wonderful team at Three Jewels Adventures. I am 67 and had never done a trek like this before. I was also getting over covid. I felt safe and looked after (discreetly) throughout the trek - such kindness from all the team, thank you!

Great team, always ready to help - What a wonderful experience! Completed a trek to Lawudo Gompa as part of an organised fundraiser, with fantastic support from Amber and his team. Lawudo is a very special place to visit, well worth the effort to get there. Amber, the guides and porters were all kind and patient as they truly looked after us, catering to all the needs of our group and keeping the energy positive even when we experienced challenges. I highly recommend trekking with Three Jewels Adventures, their knowledge and expertise made the trek a success.
