I feel like we were extremely lucky on this trip taking into account all help we've got from Pradip and his team. Traveling in Covid times is hard enough on it's own, still we had problems occuring all the time. Pradip was very helpful on every step of the travel. Sometimes I even think he never sleeps))) He went above and beyond to help our groups with all necessary paperwork to get to Nepal. Transportation, guide, porters, everything was organised without any problems. But the most memorable thing for me was Pradip's personal involvement in situation when we needed to get to Kathmandu from our trekking ASAP due to lockdown restrictions. As well as get our PCR-tests in one of the hospitals in KTM. Everything went as smooth as it possibly could on this journey. And who travelled to Nepal at least once, knows that something unexpected may happen suddenly at any moment:) Pradip was always in touch checking every step of our journey. I highly recommend hiring Pradip and services of his agency! I've tried services of couple travel agents in Nepal and have something to compare to. He is safe, supportive and very reliable partner in Nepal. And what else do you need to have great adventure.

Excellent trek with Pralad to EBC Dec 2024 I did a 12 day Everest Base Camp trek with Pralad during December 2024. This was an amazing experience both regarding the stunning nature on display and how well Pralad guided the journey. I have trekked with Pralad before and hope to do so again in future - I highly recommend his services. In my experience he is very adept at adjusting to the needs of the circumstances and the personalities of the guests. Accordingly, he knows when to push the pace or when to slow down so that the trek runs very smoothly. He knows when to start a chat or give the space to let you work through the challenges of a trek. He remains flexible on the schedule too, which in my case meant the difference as things turned out between having a clear day at EBC and Kala Patthar (as we had) or having had terrible inclement weather (which would have been the case were he not attuned to this possibility). Finally, the accommodations he selected were all very comfortable and all served excellent meals. I have no hesitation to recommend Pralad and his business for your trek to Nepal.
We began our Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek on April 26, 2025, and it was truly a journey of a lifetime. Huge thanks to Raj, Pralad, and the entire Adventure Mountain Trek team for taking such wonderful care of us throughout our Himalayan adventure. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and well looked after. The team's warmth, knowledge, and professionalism made our 10-day trek not only smooth but incredibly enjoyable. We were absolutely spoiled — with hearty laughs, rich stories and history about the region, cozy accommodations, and most importantly, amazing food every step of the way! This trek will remain one of our most cherished travel experiences, and it's all thanks to this amazing crew. I will definitely be recommending Adventure Mountain Trek to my friends and loved ones. Nepal, we’re not done yet — I’ll be back for more soon! Thank you again for everything!

Oct 2024 I booked EBC with 2 pass(Chola and Renjola Pass) trek. They arranged everything from Kathmandu to Kathmandu in a very efficient way. The guide they allotted Mr. Bhim Rai was an excellent and experienced guide. I am impressed and do recommend Adventure Mountain Treks for trips in Nepal.
Pralad is the best guide one could ask for! We did EBC trek, beginning of December feels like best period to do this.

EBC Trek with Helicopter Return Oct 2022 • Friends A great trip. Well organised, our Guide Shyam had been very helpful. One of us ended up needing a horse and it was promptly managed. Starting from accomodation, food and helicopter ride back to Kathmandu, everything was pretty seamless. There were some places which could have been improved, but overall a reliable and fantastic trekking service which I will definitely recommend. All the best to future endeavours for Adventure Mountain Treks.
