EVEREST BASE CAMP - The experience was unforgettable. Ram and our guide Bhabanath made sure we had the best experience possible to EBC. The sheer care and thoughtfulness while trekking was immaculate and the service and hospitality was outstanding. Even our porter Prem went to Kala Patthar to take photos for us as my mother was a bit sick. Really went out of there way to please us. Thankyou Nepal Gateway Trekking

Unforgettable EBC trek experience with Nepal Gateway Trekking - From the moment I booked with Nepal Gateway Trekking I knew I was in good hands. Ram was always prompt and readily available to communicate with me to answer questions and offer advice. He even would offer his services to help book our trip to Pokhara as well. Our trip was customised to suit our needs with no effort required from my end. All the pick ups drops offs were taken care of with ease. Ram organised a day tour of Kathmandu with our fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable guide Prem to see all the interesting sights. We met with our amazing guide Bhabanath in Kathmandu who helped us rent some remaining items needed for the trek. Bhabanath has 25 years experience in trekking in Nepal and was a wealth of knowledge sharing information and stories about the mountains and Nepalese culture. He was also a lot of fun and made our trip an unforgettable experience! Bhabanath took extra care to make sure all our needs were met. He even treated us with his fantastic head and neck messages which helped us have a good night rest. Prem our porter was also truly amazing. He carried our heavy load and was always very pleasant and caring. He even took photos from Kala Patthar at sunset for us in the freezing cold when I didn’t have the energy to do so. We could not have wished for a better support team. The tea house accommodation, food options and lunch stops were great. The sights and scenery of the mountains, people, villages along the trail was spectacular. Something different to see every day. We decided to catch a helicopter flight from Gorak Sheo to Lukla which was amazing. The change in plan was dealt with ease. I highly recommend this company that truly cares about you enjoying your trip and your safety.

Nepal Gateway gave me tremendous customer service on a true trip of a lifetime!! - I completed the Everest Base Camp trek in November 2024. The world class customer service began right away as my in-bound flights from the US to Kathmandu were delayed. Ram and his team at Nepal Gateway adjusted their itinerary to accommodate my travel difficulties such that I was able to begin my trek on time. My guide, Nabin, and porter, Dinesh, walked down to meet me when the helicopter I was in diverted due to cloudiness to Shurke, some distance below Lukla. Nabin proved to be extraordinarily knowledgeable about the Everest region and the trek, giving valuable guidance that I am sure led to my successful completion of the trek. Because of their exemplary customer service, expertise, and deep knowledge of the Everest/Khumbu region, I highly recommend Nepal Gateway for all of your Himalayan trekking needs.

Couldn't have asked for better tour company and a better overall experience than this !! - Our tour operator Ram Adhikari did a phenomenal job making our trip very special, memorable, safe and smooth all along. some of the key highlights of Ram are a) prompt communication b) delivering what's promised c) being able to get us out of Lukla both while going and coming back promptly while others were stranded for 2-3 days d) his connections/contacts to get transport/helicopters up and out timely e) providing excellent reliable crew of guides and porters during the trek f) constant communication before, during and after the trek. g) pick up and drop off at airport and hotel h) giving recommendations regarding prep for the trek, things needed, giving regular update regarding weather, especially due to flooding in nepal just a week before our arrival as well several others tips and tricks for making the trek as convenient and feasible as possible. providing water purification tablets etc. Our guides Revantha and Neer were excellent, they did briefing every morning, lunch and dinner, ensured everyone stayed together and safe. Even helped out with bag pack on the way. Ensured adequate fluids were consumed, monitored for signs/symptoms of altitude sickness including pulse ox review in evening. They both had good sense of humor and were very friendly. They knew inside out of the trek like back of their hand, ensured we started daily on time and reached destination at decent time every day getting enough breaks and rest all along and stopping at scenic viewpoints. Our porters Raj, Khemraj, Ekka and Maan were good, ensured our baggage were handled properly. After the trek completion, Ram received us again at airport and treated us to excellent see-off dinner as well as dropping off at airport next morning. The Kathmandu tour prior to starting the EBC trek was also well planned covering Pasupathi Nath temple, durbar square, swayambu mandir, Krishna temple and other key spots. To summarize, we had a great experience, had it not been for Ram's ability of use his connections to get us helicopter ride in timely fashion with weather issues, we would have been stranded for 2-3 days like most other hikers. Ram ensured everything went smooth and sound as planned. Ram is young budding tour operatory with commitment to quality and service, I have already shared his tour company details with my father who plans to use his services , I would not have any hesitation in recommending Nepal Gateway trekking company to anyone. We were recommended his name/tour company by a friend and Ram proved himself more than expected ! Ram has told us he will join us in our next expedition to Annapurna and I am looking forward to making that wish come true :)

Highly recommended company for planning trip to Himalayas!! - An amazing trip to Everest Base Camp with an amazing organizer team. We had a great expedition to Everest base camp through Nepal Gateway Trekking company. Few of the best points about going with them : 1) Very professional 2) Always on time - the guides were there at the said time and said places always 3) knowledgeable. Both Nir & Rewanta (our guides) knew about the areas like back of their hands 4) awesome hospitality and service - they always served us food in the hotel, were prompt in taking our orders for next meal and never messed up 5) Always reachable for any needs like medication or additional blankets etc 6) Good team work within them, one walked with the fastest walker while the other tagged along with the last person walking. Ensured all stayed together. 7) All stay facilities picked were very comfortable and with god food 8) The event coordinator, Ramji, was also very responsive from the day the trip was planned. He guided us well for what to pack and bring and what we get there. 9) They have good alliances with partner companies like helicopter services. Overall, I would highly recommend Nepal Gateway Trekking company to anyone who is planning their trip to the Himalayas.

What an awesome experience - Undoubtedly the best trip and trek of my life. We let Nepal gateway trekking managed every single thing of the trek and it was very enjoyable experience. They managed right from airport pick up to drop off and everything in between. The guides were knowledgeable and pleasure to work with. The hotels arrangements were top notch, albeit given the scarcity of hotels at higher altitude The acclimatizing hikes were perfect and prepared us for the next day. The services we got by the guides were so comprehensive that it included food order to water purchase and even carrying daybpack in case of struggling trekkers on steep hikes. The owner personally picked all of us at different times, had perfect celebration farewell dinner and dropped off at the airport. Highly recommend Nepal Gateway Trekking

Once again, Raj and the company did not disappoint - the attention to detail, the customer service and the genuine care has turned me into a loyal customer. I shall return and there is only one company that I will use - Nepal Gateway Trekking.
