My wonderful first time trekking - My family and I have just achieved our first time trekking through Mardi Himal route in 17-21 May 2024 with Everest Trekking Routes Ltd. Before trekking I did some Google searches and their website just popped up and impressed me with all detailed information, clearly described everything I needed. Once I contacted them, I got speedy responses to all my questions and special requests on tourist bus booking. So, impressive... During trekking, we have Sandesh as our guide. He is a nice and cheerful young guy. We looked at him like our son as he has about same age as our son and he called us uncle and aunty, we are like family. He took very good care of us in every details. He mostly walked ahead of us but always stopped and waited for us when reached at juction to make sure we would not go to the wrong way while giving private space and time for us to enjoy photo and vdo taking. He well aware of our first time trekking, so no rush or no pressure from him, made us felt comfortable. We are a group of three but he did not try to compose us in the same bedroom but let us select whether we could go with one or two rooms. He and our porter (Mr. Sanzy) built a fun atmosphere with their music and dance at the night camps. This is so fun. Even we trekked at beginning of raining season, but we could capture a beautiful clear view when we reached the view point. The last day he did reschedule a bit to make sure we could get a car back to Pokhara on time, good adjustment. After trekking, we also spent a few days in Kathmandu for sightseeing and the company also provided complimentary airport pick up and delivery for us. This is so nice and impressive. In overall, I'm very happy to select Everest trekking routes Ltd. for our trekking and THANK all of them to make our trip so wonderful and will be in our beautiful memory forever...

Absolutely Outstanding Tour Company! - I don’t usually write review, but I have to make an exception for this tour experience managed by Everest Trekking Routes PVT. LTD. Firstly, the guide is incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining and passionate about what he does. The itineraries are well planned. From start to finish, it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. This company goes above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable and enjoyable journey. During the trip, I sprained my ankle, and the guide carried my backpack and kept making sure that I was okay finishing the rest of my trip. Certainly, they have my highest recommendation for creating truly enriching and authentic adventures. I'll definitely be a repeat customer!

Mardi Himal - April 2024 - This trek was a first for us and everything we hoped it would be. The hike itself is strenuous but doable for most, most days were finished by early afternoon which allowed time to relax and rest a little. The Rhododendrons were in full bloom as we got higher which made for a magical view. We woke at 4am on the 4th day to make it to the summit for sunrise, it was awe inspiring, we couldn’t have done it without the encouragement of our guide and porter too, if you have the time and resources, this is an incredible trip. Bring a sleeping bag as nights are frozen and wet toilet tissue will be your friend. Som and Bipin worked tirelessly to make sure we had a safe and adventurous time, we will certainly be back again.

The best trekking tour guide you can find in Nepal! - We were lucky to have Karma as our tour guide. A positive and cheerful person who organized everything for us on site and fulfilled every wish for us. He guided us competently through the trekking tour with motivating and entertaining conversations and brought us closer to the Nepalese culture in song and dance. He is special to us because he respects our safe space and boundaries and knows exactly when it is time to guide us or allow us to be alone. Karma is a problem solver and tackles problems when necessary. He took care of us when we were not feeling well due to altitude sickness, for example. Honesty and openness was there from the beginning and was communicated openly, so we had no hidden costs at all. So if you want to have an incredible and unforgettable trekking we can only recommend Karma 100%. He deserves all the happiness in this world. May he give you as much joy and experiences on the trip as he gave us! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this unique experience!

Highly recommended - During the last days I had the pleasure to trek with Bale who is a very experienced, friendly and attentive guide. He had a very good feeling for the right pace during the whole Trek. I felt safe at all times and so he made it a perfect experience for me. When i first had contact to Mr Gurung, he answered my questions quickly and kindly, offered me a pickup from the airport and had good recommendations for getting missing equipment. At the end I can't imagine a better guide and trekking agency. Thank you very much for making my first Himalayan experience perfect.

Amazing Trek and tour guide - The view were amazing. This trek is kind of suitable for most people. The tour guide Som took very good care of me and snapped many photos. Highly recommended.

Photographers paradise - It was an amazing trip, made all the more enjoyable by our excellent guide Mr. Sushil. The view was breathtaking, despite the bad weather, and we had such great time. Sushil ensured we were comfortable, safe and ate well. Trekking in winter provides a different scene but have to be prepared for the unpredictable weather conditions. As advertised, this trek is easy, with many tea houses along the way allowing us to break our journey whenever we want. Our guide had it planned carefully so that we covered it in a leisurely pace. This is a trek everyone should attempt.

Great & Fun experience with guide and porter and awesome views at the viewpoint! - Our guide and porter (Som & Sandesh) were really friendly and fun to be with during the entire trek. It made the hike more endurable and enjoyable. They were also helpful during the entire hike, checking in on us etc. the early 5am morning hike up to the viewpoint was not the easiest as it was steps for close to 2 hours but our guide was really patient and told us slowly, one step at a time which was comforting to hear. But the view at the top was really worth it. One small note though was that we signed up for 5 days trek but based on our fitness level (realising we hike quite fast and relatively experienced), our guide decided to compress it to 4 days hike (after day 1 of hike) which we only realised through our conversations with him. Would have appreciated him informing us. Not much major impact as the guide booked a hotel for us in Pokhara on the last day anyway. We now gained an extra day in the city! Which is also a good thing for us now to explore more things but sad to leave the mountains earlier! 3-4 days hike is manageable for most people with average fitness level. We hiked about average 6-7 hours for first 2 days with it stretching to about 8-9 hours on last day at an average speed for relatively experienced hikers. 5 days will be recommended for those who wants to take it really slow. Otherwise, really great experience with our guide and porter and the tour company. Thank you!

Mardi Himal with awesome experience - With little to no knowledge or experience in trekking, Rabin and his team provided me with great patience and support. Special thanks to my brother, Som who made my trek so much more. comfortable and keeping me safe when ascending and descending. The whole experience is totally awesome and truly recommended to trekking newbies

Very good experience. - Very amazing trip. The organiser ( Rabin) was very hlepful to plan the whole trip. Our guide Phul Bahadur Gurung and porter Aaita Bahadur Gurung were amazing. They made the trip very enjoyable and comfortable as best as it could be despite the off season.
