Trip of a lifetime

The Everest High Passes trek with Nepal Social Treks and Expedition was phenomenal. Over the 15-day trek to Everest Base Camp, our group of three forged lasting friendships with our guide, Achut Pandey, and porters who went the extra mile in everything they did to make our journey culturally rewarding and successful. While not for the faint-of-heart, this route offered views of the Himalayas, cultural experiences and mental and physical challenges that can't be found on the more heavily trafficked routes to Everest Base Camp. We were the only people on the trail for most of the trek. Nepal Social Treks and Expedition, Basu Panday, and Woodapple Hotel and Spa handled the organization and details of our trek flawlessly, including two days of touring in Kathmandu. Thank you Nepal Social Treks for making our dream come true.

Nepal Social Treks made my trek memorable !!!

Nepal Social Treks is a top notch touring company ! Basu Panday is a pleasure to work with, responsive and informative ! We had Kamal as our tour guide to Everest Base camp and the entire trip was memorable ! Kamal was informative, accomodating and checked in to see how we were adjusting to the elevation to ensure our success. Tea lodges were warm and the food was plentiful. The views of the Himalayan mountain peaks are breath taking and surreal. I definitely want to go back and will reach out to Basu and Kamal to guide me on my next Himalayan adventure !!! Thank you Nepal Social Treks !

Annapurna Circuit Trek

As part of a group of 6-girls in our early twenties, we decided to complete the 12-day Annapurna Circuit Trek late Nov-early December 2019. Its safe to say we all felt somewhat apprehensive, not knowing exactly what we had signed up for, and with this in mind we agreed to book with Nepal Social Treks, a locally based company with experienced guides and porters. I came away from the trek with the most amazing memories, and can confidently say that the experience exceeded every single one of my expectations. Each day of the trek was different and offered scenes that continue to amaze me. While the Annapurna Circuit is recognised to be both physically and mentally challenging, I never felt unable, unsafe, or unhappy. We owe all of this to our wonderful guide, Achut and 3 amazing porters. We trusted our team entirely and they took great care of us - taking us to the best tea houses, serving hot ginger-lemon honey drinks, monitoring our blood oxygen levels and making sure we took all the right trekking routes in order to showcase the best aspects of the mountain range. Nepal Social Treks also arranged accommodation for us even before the trek had started, including airport pick-ups from Kathmandu and other door-to-door assistance. This was especially helpful since it was our first time in Nepal, and for some of us even Asia! All up, it was important for us to do something challenging but not at the expense of our safety or enjoyment and this was 100% achievable with Nepal Social Treks!!! - Tess from New Zealand

The 10 Best Treks in Nepal’s Majestic Mountains 2024

Posted: February 21, 2024 | Last updated: February 21, 2024

Nestled between the towering peaks of the Himalayas, Nepal is a land of unparalleled natural beauty and a haven for trekkers. From the iconic Everest Base Camp to the serene trails of the Annapurna region, Nepal’s mountains offer a diverse array of trekking experiences, each more awe-inspiring than the last. This guide will take you through 10 of Nepal’s most majestic mountain destinations, providing insights and practical advice for your trekking adventure.

1. Everest Base Camp

Embarking on the Everest Base Camp trek, you’ll journey through the heart of the Himalayas, where the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse, tower above. Starting with a thrilling flight to Lukla, the trek takes you through traditional Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, and along the Dudh Kosi River. The route is challenging yet rewarding, with acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. The final ascent to Base Camp offers a stunning view of the Khumbu Icefall, making all the effort worthwhile.

Insider’s Tip: Acclimatize properly to avoid altitude sickness.

When To Travel: Pre-monsoon (March to May) or post-monsoon (September to November).

How To Get There: Fly to Lukla from Kathmandu and start your trek from there.

2. Annapurna Circuit

The Annapurna Circuit is a classic trek that takes you around the majestic Annapurna massif. This journey offers a remarkable diversity of landscapes, from the subtropical jungle of the Marshyangdi Valley to the arid, Tibetan-like terrain of the Upper Mustang. Crossing the Thorong La Pass, the trek’s highest point, is a challenging but exhilarating experience.

Lo Manthang, the walled capital, is a highlight, with its monasteries and royal palace. This area is culturally and geographically more akin to Tibet, offering a unique trekking experience distinct from the rest of Nepal.

Insider’s Tip: Visit the ancient monasteries and the royal palace in Lo Manthang. Stay at the beautiful Shinta Mani Mustang.
