Kathmandu

I stayed 6 nights at Hotel Thrive Kathmandu, and overall it was a comfortable and pleasant experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and cozy, with good housekeeping throughout my stay. The bed was comfortable, and the room felt quiet and relaxing, which was great after long days out in the city. The space was thoughtfully arranged, with enough room to move around comfortably, and basic amenities were in good working condition. I also appreciated the calm atmosphere and the sense of privacy in the room. Overall, a reliable and comfortable stay, especially for travelers looking for a peaceful base in Kathmandu.

This was hands down one of the best day tours I’ve ever experienced. From the moment we started, everything was smooth, well-planned, and stress-free. Thank you so much to our tour guide mr Bikram Tamang, he was exceptional, knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing local culture, history, and stories. The guide took great care of me and my husband, explained everything clearly, and always made sure we were comfortable and happy. The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. We visited amazing places, had plenty of time for photos, and learned so much along the way. If you’re looking for a professional tour with an outstanding guide, this is the one to book. I would 100% recommend this tour and would happily join again in the future. Once again thank you Mr Bikram Tamang, you are among the best!!

incredible, beyond description !! Thank you for safety flight !

I booked and participated the day before! The meeting time was 9:00 AM, so I arrived 15 minutes early, but... huh? It's not open. A slight sense of unease washed over me, but the staff arrived about 5 minutes before and guided us in. Whew. I was given masala milk tea, and while relaxing a bit, we were told to choose 3 dishes to make, so the 4 participants, including us, discussed and made our choices. Once decided, we all went shopping at a nearby store. Mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, coriander, and so on. It was interesting to see Nepalese ingredients at a store where locals shop. The cooking was done efficiently, with assignments given to each person. We cut vegetables, stir-fried, and kneaded momo dough from flour while listening to the recipe instructions. After eating the first two dishes (potato dish and mushroom dish), it was finally time to make momos. We made the filling and wrapped it in homemade dough. This was quite difficult 😓. A man from Turkey said he works as a pastry chef, and his momos were beautifully made, which impressed me. A man from England, who had just finished a 14-day Manaslu trek, struggled with his first experience. We also struggled while wrapping. We steamed them for about 15 minutes and ate them fresh. It was the most delicious momo I ate during my stay in Nepal! We finished eating around 12:20 PM and disbanded at our convenience. The explanations and procedures for the dishes were well-organized and fun. But, perhaps starting and ending in a relaxed manner is a national characteristic. That's also part of the Nepalese cultural experience. I recommend it to those who have time!

Here’s a shorter summary version: --- Amazing tour from start to finish! Pick-up was perfectly on time, and watching the sunrise from the summit was unforgettable. Our guide was insightful and shared great stories about the villages we passed, making the whole experience engaging and enjoyable. Truly a fantastic tour—I couldn’t recommend it more!

I'm from Macau, and I'm writing this review in Cantonese. This EBC trek has opened my eyes to a new understanding of mountain trekking. The biggest surprise was meeting a great guide, Nima. He taught me a lot about mountaineering techniques on this trip and carefully explained every landscape and every detail. He is a very gentlemanly person. It is my honor to have met such a good guide. The food and lodging arrangements were also excellent. In addition, Epic Adventure Company arranged for a colleague to meet me at my hotel on my first day in Kathmandu to carefully explain all the details and precautions of the entire trip. The next day, they also arranged for a car to take me to Kathmandu Airport to fly to Lukla. The service was excellent. A very unforgettable journey!

last min booking also can. very fast confirmation by the team. driver & guide picked us on time at our hotel. took 1+ hour to reach the location. driver is pro to drive in hilly roads. arrived just on time for sunrise. you can just see a part of mount everest only as it is at the back of other mountains. can see himalayan range and other mountains view. our guide, Shree is really helpful naming the mountains and answering our questions. he took really great photos of us. brought us to another location to get a different view and to a hotel nearby for coffee with a view (paid separately to hotel). itinerary timing is on time. dropped us back to out hotel and still get to have breakfast at our own hotel. great package for someone who's in kathmandu for a short time.

first experience in nepal, jeet bhandur has been an amazing guide. abc trek is definitely one of the best out there, and snowpeak just made it better!
