"Great adventures begin with safe choices."
Everest Hikes made our trip a wonderful experience. Our guide was always helpful, cheerful and ready to help when needed. Every wish was taken care of and we reached our goal. Thank you Everest Hikes.
Our trek around Manaslu was wonderful! We had a wonderful time in the mountains. Our guides were very attentive and always looked after us.
The biggest highlight of the whole trek was that we were incredibly lucky and saw a snow leopard.
We will never forget that!
Thank you so much for this special experience!
I came to Kathmandu planning to hike the Annapurna Circuit without much of a plan, just trusting it would all work out. And that’s exactly what happened.
Some locals referred me to Rajan, and after meeting him, I knew I was in great hands. He was calm, professional, and clearly experienced. A few days later, his brother Sharan, my guide, met me at my hotel to go over my pack. They even loaned me a few items for the trek and let me store the rest of my gear at their house. Above and beyond from the start.
We took a jeep from Kathmandu to Dharapani. From then on, I felt like a yacht owner in the Himalayas. Sharan and Ishwor, my porter, were total pros. Friendly and fun, but also knew when to give me space. I never had to think about logistics. Every room, every meal, every detail was handled. I just walked and soaked it in.
It genuinely felt like I was their only client. They always got me the best rooms at the tea houses, and Sharan’s weather sense was unreal. Thanks to his timing, I was one of the few who saw the full Annapurna Massif at Tilicho Lake. We hiked back under a sky full of stars.
Eighteen unforgettable days. If you want to feel truly taken care of out there, book with Rajan, Sharan, and Ishwor. You’ll be glad you did.
I made the poonhill/ abc trek with this company. Everything was perfectly organized and well prepared. I felt comfortable and safe all the time. My trek was guided by Ramu. This Guide is just unbelievable – he was so much taking care of me. It was so much fun with Ramu. Really enjoyed my time and I can fully recommend doing trekking with Everest hikes and Ramu
Where to begin.. I was invited to join Rajan’s tour which he organized with his wife Anita for a lovely couple from germany- Jürgen and Petra. Before going into detail, I can sum up the experience as: An adventure of a lifetime!!! (Exclamation marks well deserved). I joined in Namche Bazaar and our stops were as follows: Thame-Lunden-Renjo La Pass-Gokyo-Dole-Machermo-Namche Bazaar- Phakding-Lukla-Kathmandu. We were time flexible, so we took acclimatization days at every stop when ascending. This was something I really appreciated since I feared AMS every stop of our route, but when trekking with Rajan and Anita, it was simply not an option! We were so well taken care of, food and drinks were always at hand, every day we did just the right amount of trekking to leaves us tired and satisfied but not exhausted. Rajan kept an eye on us, very alert of any signs of something going wrong, sometimes he knew even before we did that a break is in order or we need to slow the pace, or simply that we need a snickers from his secret stash to keep the pace up! Another great aspect of being part of this tour, was Rajan’s local knowledge. He knew the most picturesque trails that were far from the beaten track and which still led us to our destination, also, this stretches to accomodation choices – we did stay in some lovely lodges along the way in which nothing was ever lacking, the food was delicious and the owners accomodating to any extra requests we had (like laundry, hot shower, etc.). I believe myself lucky to have found Rajan’s tour in Nepal, since the experience was truly one of a lifetime… The things we saw and experienced were breathtaking and left me craving for more. Also, Rajan and Anita are delightful to be around, always smiling, and with a sense of humour that aims to challenge and motivate you towards surpassing your limits, and that’s a well needed quality when dealing with the Himalayas. Upon my next visit to Nepal, I’ll definitely book with Rajan again, I can’t recommend him enough. Thanks a lot for this wonderful trip!!
PS: A big shout-out to our porter Mahindra, a lovely, positive man who carried our luggage from one point to another. It would have been very tough without you, thank you!!
