Everest Base Camp Trek with Pradip

I have recently just completed a Mount Everest Base camp trek with WelcomeNepalTreks. It was a wonderful experience and we had the best guide I could have ever asked for Pradip (Master Zi), who expertly navigated us through the beautiful yet rugged terrain of the Himalayas. It was without gratitude to our manager of the hike Harry, who provided us with a simple yet brilliant tour which saw us spend 11 days hiking, staying at beautiful and caring tea houses. Pradip gave us expert advice whilst also offering us a fun and exciting experience especially with his amazing tik tok videos only adding to the experience. Overall, allowing us to fully experience the Nepalese culture. The tour was great the hike was very scenic and the experience was overall very rewarding. Thank you Harry and Pradip for the unforgettable experience.😛😛

The Welcome Nepal Treks Everest base camp trek was unreal. The 10 day journey was exquisite with great views throughout. Our guide Predip was fantastic and was definitely the highlight of trip providing insightful knowledge on the Nepalese culture, night out at the worlds highest pub, and ensured safety for all our crew. Unbelievable experience and would greatly recommend to anyone looking for an adventure.
Great Trip to EBC with Pradip!

My friends and I had a great time on our trip to EBC with our guide Pradip. His knowledge of the area and extensive experience as a guide made us all feel safe and well informed in the difficult terrain - he is also a ripper bloke. The experience was also excellently organised by Harri who took into consideration our flights home and structured the trip excellently to our every need. Great experience overall and I am very grateful for Harri and Pradip for making it so.
Best trip with Best guide Pradip.

I recently completed a 10-day trek to Mount Everest Base Camp with Welcome Nepal Treks and had an unforgettable experience. While the trek is challenging and some of the accommodations are basic due to the remote Himalayan location, the breathtaking views and unique experiences made it all worthwhile. Hari, the owner, meticulously arranged every aspect of the journey, including meals, lodging, transportation, and an exceptional trekking guide, Mr. Pralad Simkhada. I highly recommend Hari for future trips—though his approach to organizing may initially seem unconventional, you can trust him to deliver an extraordinary adventure.
Fantastic extreme experience

I joined this trek for a personal experience but above all as a search for geographical data. With good preparation I faced this adventure. Even before my arrival I agreed with Hari on many details related to my personal and work needs. He always showed me the various solutions with a prompt response. I begin the experience with the Bikrom guide, an exceptional and highly trained person. He was able to answer all my questions, both ordinary and technical. He even put me in contact with representatives of the local villages and with the primary school for my research. The route was carried out in complete safety, so much so that Bikrom promptly managed a significant phase of altitude sickness in just a few hours (which was completely resolved the following day). Adding to the greatest joy of reaching the EBC is that both the agency and Bikrom did everything to celebrate my birthday at the base camp and in Gorak Shep. I requested to return earlier (for personal reasons) or 3 days instead of 4 days. Hari and Bikrom went out of their way to help me to ensure I got to the village next to Lukla sooner via fast routes and lengthening the walk; furthermore the agency agreed on an advance flight for me. I also suggest the hotel combined with the agency for its extreme centrality, intimacy, elegance and convenience. Next will be Annapurna!
Highly recommended

The agent Niti who supported us was very professional. The pre and post trip was very well handled and organised, never left any question unanswered. The entire 14 days trek was very smooth, each day itinerary and lodging was handled well without any major hiccup. The trip was very memorable and fun as we hike together with another group from the same company.
Trekking to EBC and Mount Kalapatre - it was very cool!

It was an incredible adventure and an unforgettable experience. I can confidently recommend Welcome Nepal Treks and our guide Pradeep. At all stages we were supported and given timely advice on organizing and completing the trek. Not a single company in Russia agreed to take my 11-year-old daughter, but she did a great job and coped with the track. A huge thank you to Welcome Nepal Treks and our guide Pradeep.
