  • EBC trek- Two years later we made it and what an experience it was!

    We decided to the Everest Base camp trek and booked with Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure (HSA) back in 2020 pre- COVID. When we had to cancel everything due to the pandemic , Bishnu from HSA quickly authorized the refund and we got our money back from Tour radar straight away. In the nearly two years that followed for us to re-book everything to attempt to the Everest base camp hike again, Bishnu kept in contact with us giving us an update on the COVID situation in Nepal and just general advice about travelling to Nepal during a pandemic. He made us feel secure and wanting to book a big trip such as Everest base camp again during these uncertain times. The service from Bishnu was excellent from the start- meeting us at the airport to dropping us back there for our return flight to the UK. The leaving gift of a Nepalese scarf was a nice touch as we left Nepal with fond memories of our EBC trip and holiday. He was also very flexible in accommodating changes we requested to our itinerary such as moving our Kathmandu city tour to another day in order to accommodate a visit to the Chitwan National Park post the EBC trek. In summary, we could not have chosen a better company then HSA for our unforgettable EBC trek. I would highly recommend HSA for anyone looking to book an EBC trek or holidaying in Nepal.

  • Excellent Service and Planning

    Wow! What an experience to see the mystical site of Everest Base Camp. We also trekked over Chola pass to Gokyo before returning back to Lukla. From the very beginning, the service and attention to details was superb by the staff. From the moment my family and I arrived in Kathmandu, Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure was there to help plan our trip. From giving us ideas of where to trek to escorting us to a store to purchase necessary equipment, they were there to lend a hand. I also felt like they never were pushy or trying to promote something to us we didn't want. They allowed us to make a decision and then we went from there. It was seamless. They purchased the airline tickets to Lukla for us. While trekking, you could sense the care that the guide and porter provided us. As customers, our needs were important. It is nice that "service" to the customer still means something here. The guide was helpful in teaching us about the culture of the region, as well as providing us with the facts about the scenery. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I definitely would recommend Himalayan Sanctuary Adventures to friends and family. You will not be disappointed.

  • EBC Trek- Amazing, to say the least

    Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure organized everything for us from transfers to and from the hotels, permits for trekking, Guide and Porter for trekking, Accommodation during the trek, food on the trek, duffel bags (which is needed for the trek) . We were delayed by two days due to weather in Lukla and this was beyond our control, however bishnu were able to arrange with hotels and transport for the extra nights in Kathmandu. The journey to EBC is spectacular with amazing views and wonderful friendly people however not an easy one, it really is something that tests you as an individual and one needs to be strong minded when performing this trek. I am proud and glad to say I have achieved this. We definitely received great hospitality from the Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure who went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience, in my opinion, if one is thinking about doing any trekking in Nepal don't even think about any other company besides Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure. Bishnu , Prem and all the Trekking Staff are wonderful who will go out of their way for you to ensure you achieve your goals.
