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.

Wonderful experience of the EBC trek - We just finished the base camp trek with the Himalyan Social Journey. Overall experience was amazing especially with Santosh our lead guide in the trek and Arjun and Sherry were helping and taking care of all of us throughout the journey. Though EBC is considered as one of the challenging trek but the guidance and knowledge shared by Santosh made it easy for all of us.

Amazing experience, highly recommend Himalayan Social Journey - Let me start by recognizing our guide Santosh and his team of sherpas, Arjun, Janak and Dhaval who made this an amazing experience with 100% success rate with all 19 of us completing EBC trek.

EBC Trek-2024 # Sourabh Mulavekar - Trekking in Nepal is more than just trekking to Base Camp or prominent landmarks up in the higher altitude. Special thanks to our guide Mr. Mingmar Sherpa. Trekking in Nepal is exploring the beautiful-quaint mountain villages. immersing in mountain culture and lifestyle conquering soaring heights savoring DAL BHAT and local Nepalese dishes sleeping in a local teahouse embracing mountain vistas, including some of the highest mountains in the world traversing rugged trails, through lush forest, and diverse landscapes escaping from the city lifestyle and enjoying a unique way of life and more

Trek to EBC - Thank you to entire HSJ team for making our dream come realize. Both Guides Khilraj and Siddarth were cooperative and always available to adrress any issue or challenges during the course of this trek. The only area i see an improvement requires is on selection of hotel especially at Namache Bazar. The food was not that great and very expensive compared to other hotel Overall nice experience .
