Best guide: Mingmar Sherpa - The trip was well organised and we had so much fun. It is because of Mingmar Sherpa that I had such a good experience. He is really well versed with the terrain and can guide you in the best possible way. I really miss the trek.

Breathtaking views with some amazing fun Trekking with likeminded people and very supportive guides - I would rate this Trek as an experience of my life. This was my first Trek ever and the longest one compared to what people do normally. But the journey was very smooth due to the support provided by the guide Mingmar Sherpa and Janak and the Himalayan Social Journey members. I have a special place in heart for the love and warmth shared by everyone during the Trek. Here are something I would like to say about the contribution of the guides. Start date - 9-May-2024 - Reached Kathmandu Everest Base Camp - 17-May-2024 End date - 21-May-2024 - Reached Kathmandu 1. Amazing introduction session at Himalayan Suites hotel. Gave enough information. Made us feel at home. Nothing more than what was required which could scare anyone. The talk given by Mingmar was no less than a motivational talk just boosting everyone's self confidence and morale. 2. Personal checklists shared earlier to the Trek and Mingmar checked everyone's luggage and made sure nothing is missed which could be crucial for the Trek. 3. Amazing assistance on the way to Ramechap, luggage handling at airport. Giving us a glimpse of the peaks and mountains during the short flight to Lukla 4. Short briefing everyday during dinner time with how the next day is going to unfold. Dos and don'ts, what to pack, essentials, Trek distance, weather, terrain, Places of interest etc. 5. Taking group pictures on the way, always cheerful, happy, cracking jokes, light hearted but firm and disciplined as well as flexible. 6. Enforcing starting time for each day and give a wake up call in the morning. 7. Food suggestions, taking orders, payments etc. 8. During the Trek provided timely help for people in the group who were feeling breathless, tired and made them feel comfortable. 9. Incredible knowledge of the Khumbu region, shared inspirational stories of Sherpas and people who have done the Trek before. 10. Share the knowledge about different mountains, height, summits done in each season, best time to climb etc. 11. Medical support for team members to ensure that everyone is healthy and in best shape to achieve the milestone. The Journey on each single day was just marvelous. Checking the Oxygen Saturation, Pulse, any other health issues and providing basic medication. 12. Personal attention to everyone's needs and the immense experience of the Trek route, fluctuating weather made our life very easy and had a fantastic experience. 13. Provided Certificate, T-shirt at the end of the Trek. In short, the Everest Base Camp trek was an experience I am going to cherish throughout my life. This would not have been possible without the active involvement of Himalayan Social Journey and the guide Mingmar and Janak. Thanks a lot for this wonderful experience and may God bless us all in whatever we do. Keep the Head and Spirits High in whatever we want to achieve. Hats off guys and keep in touch. Keep Rocking and Climbing !!!

Dreams come true - Yeah.. I don’t know where to start from? But I felt so much safe, secured, esteem valued and cared in the experienced hands of the guides like Mr Khilraj and Mr Ramesh from the Himalayan social journey. I wasn’t solo but part of the family on the trek. The terrain was difficult as went to the gokio ri also. But Mr Ramesh held my hand like a friend. Thank you Himalayan social journey for taking care to accomplish my dreams. Words are less and feelings are more. Can’t describe the experience in the words. Cudos to the team.

First ever Himalayan trek, The EBC trek , a grand success - We successfully completed our first ever Himalayan trek, the EBC as a result of sheer determination and the able guidance and support of our guide, Mr. Khilraj. We were very anxious about the trek but Mr. Khilraj constantly motivated us and patiently answered all our queries time to time as a result of which our trek was a dream come true and we could create lifetime memories. Thanks to HSJ team, Mr. Khilraj and also our porter, Mr Dipen ( who always had a sweet smile on his face despite the strenous day. ).

Amazing experience on EBC trek with Himalayan Social Journey - We were family of three people and had amazing experience during base camp trek. Our guide Khilraj VK was very helpful and taking care of all of us during the journey. He knew the challenges during the trek and guided us to overcome those ensuring our motivation levels maintained at high level. Time to time he explained about the culture, mountains, history and ensured briefing every evening , plans for next days etc ..we thank him very much because of him we could complete the trek with lots of fun and memories which we will cherish for long time …

Base camp Everest - I went recently with my friends to Everest Base Camp through Himalayan social Journey. Its an amazing place. Tough and challenging but worth every minute and penny. Staff were supportive. They provided all the required support like every day briefings, handhold support, daily reviews and expected behavioural changes/ illnesses updates . Sp02 measured every night. We had engaging conversations at nights scenic mountain visits in the mornings. Its a wonderful experience that happens in once a lifetime. Thanks team and staff. Special thanks to Santosh for being there when I was low and sick. I couldn’t have reach base camp without his support.
