Cheryl Tso2024-12-08 2024 Everest Base Camp Trek I‘m grateful that Nepal Intrepid Treks and Expedition arranged such great Everest Base Camp itinerary. They offered a team of expert professional trekking guides and porters to guide us throughout the trip. All we had to do was enjoy spectacular views of the highest mountains, including Mount Everest, Mount Lhotse, Mount Nuptse and Mount Ama Dablam among others. Because Nepal Intrepid Treks and Expedition helped us to handle everything during the trek, we could acclimatize gradually, and successfully reach the the Khumbu glacier and Everest Base Camp. Thank you all for making my dream come true! Ya Ting H2024-12-08 Impressive and memorable experience The staff took good care of us and guided us to the magnificent EBC!!!

Julia C2024-03-04 I'm back in Nepal again... I'm back in Nepal again...This time I climbed the Mardi Himal hiking route.1,770 M to 4,200 M climbFishtail Peak still appeared in the thick clouds which was very impressive. Aeris L2024-03-02 Unforgettable hiking trip in Nepal The Nepali tour leader is very considerate and will pay attention to every move of the group members and provide assistance at any time.I had a great time on this trip, and I would like to thank the staff for their assistance and care along the way. Manish Pradhan2024-02-24 Mardi Trip - best value, quality support & guide, worthwhile trip I took a 4 day hike to Mardi Himal while on a family trip to Nepal. I wasn’t sure of the route at first. It turned out to be best decision. The upclose view of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Fishtail was unbelievable, & out of this world. We stayed at Badal Danda for couple of nights which provided the 360 view of the mountains on the north and pokhara valley, poonhill area on the south. You could do the hike 2-3 days but if you really want to soak in the views and get mesmerized by it, you might take the full 4-5 days route.Intrepid guide Suman Gurung was a real professional. He really understood the route and had great connections with the locals which made the trek extra special. Suman bhai brought a calm demeanor, encouraging & supportive attitude when I was struggling a bit during few uphill hike. Overall, I really enjoyed the hike and doing it with Suman bhai made this trip a memorable one. I would recommend Intrepid team and this route to any beginner looking to explore what Himalayas has to offer. 悦 高2023-12-17 Extremely Amazing EBC Trekking Experience great experience Everest base camp trekking with this company, our guide Bheg and Shiva, also porter. We had a great time enjoyed the experience with them. And arrived back safely! Definitely recommend this company, guide and porter! S B2023-11-09 EBC trek I completed the EBC trek solo with my guide Hem and porter Ram. It was an amazing experience though the trip had a few challenges: our flights to Lukla were cancelled due to poor weather and I developed a chest infection part way up the ascent. What was impressive was how the team (largely Hem and Santa) managed to quickly problem solve and find alternatives (e.g., hired a jeep to drive us to an alternate route to the trail) and connected me with stellar medical care. Despite these setbacks, we still managed to reach base camp! The flexibility of this team is quite noteworthy and it was clear they are experienced in handling these kinds of issues.The tea houses I stayed in were great and they served delicious food. I was never cold at night due to the really warm sleeping bag they rented to me. I was always encouraged to hike at my own pace, and to make sure I was eating and drinking enough. Communication with the team was excellent throughout and I felt well supported. The team was very punctual, responsive, and reliable. Hem is a fun, upbeat, thoughtful and friendly guide who was so helpful on this trek. He added personal touches to the trip like booking my favourite tea house in Namche on our descent. He and Ram have incredible work ethics which should be highlighted. They were always available, and when I was sick, Hem (and later Santa) accompanied me to the doctor and sat with me, saying all the right things to make me feel better. Hem is a good photographer as well, and took some beautiful pictures of us along the way. Because of my illness, I ended up having to cancel my ABC trek which was supposed to happen afterward. Again, the team (Santa and Hem) were able to pivot quickly and developed a sightseeing tour of Pokhara that was really fun, and salvaged my vacation. Overall, this was a great experience and I’m already thinking of coming back for more!

Pisang Peak climbing is the best way to appreciate the glory of Manang valley along with the adventure of peak climbing. Walk into the most cherished region of Nepal i.e. Annapurna region and get swayed with the natural ecstasy that lies in the mountains, hills, valleys, rivers, and forests of the region. You will be blessed with some fascinating views of Tilicho peak, Annapurna ranges, Gangapurna, and other neighboring peaks. Besides, the views of glaciers and magnificent Manang valley are the attractions not to be missed. Pisang Peak climbing is a delightful experience of climbing up to the peak of Pisang and admiring the gorgeousness of mountains, glaciers and wild valleys in the Annapurna region.
At a glance, Pisang peak is a pyramid-shaped peak that rises above the village the Pisang. The peak is steeply sloped and is made up of ice rocks. The sloppy surface makes climbing a bit difficult however a little knowledge of peak climbing, ropes fixed by the team leader and guidelines of climbing leader makes climbing a bit easy. Climbing activity in itself is a physically demanding activity. Moreover, Pisang peak climbing is challenging as well as physically demanding, therefore, you need to be fit physically if you are thinking of opting to Pisang peak climbing.
The journey of Pisang peak climbing initiates with a drive from Kathmandu to Jagat. From Jagat, we take a trail that leads to Upper Pisang via Dharapani and Chame. An ascend up to Pisang peak base camp and Pisang peak high camp will lead us further to the summit. From the top, we descend down to the beautiful valley of Manang and join a trail that will lead us to Thorong La Phedi. The views of mountains in Annapurna range looks fabulous from the Thorong La pass. As we cross the pass, we head towards Muktinath. Muktinath is a popular spiritual destination of million pilgrims around the world. We conclude our journey with a walk to Jomsom which is followed by a flight back to Pokhara and then to Kathmandu.

Our experienced guide will take you to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO heritage site which represents the political and historical values of Nepalese civilization.
We then proceed to Swayambhu Nath Temple, also known as ‘Monkey Temple’ thanks to its adorable colony of monkeys that run free. This temple is the symbol of harmony between Buddhists and Hindus. At the top of the stupa you will have a splendid birds-eye view of Kathmandu Valley and its surroundings.
We continue to the sacred Pashupatinath Temple, a holy place for Hindu devotees. Especially interesting is the holy cremation area where preparations and daily cremation ceremonies take place. From here we return to the hotel.

Today we explore around the Upper Pisang but stay in the same place for the night. This day is actually set aside for acclimatization purpose. As we gain heights, proper acclimatization gets essential to avoid any altitude related sickness. We utilize the day exploring around the village and admiring the majestic views of Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Gnagapurna, Mt. Mansalu, Tilicho and many other neighboring peaks. At the end of the day, we stay at the tented camp in Upper Pisang, the same place where we had set up our camp yesterday.

Leaving Upper Pisang, we ascend up towards the Pisang Peak Base Camp through thin wood and pastures. The pasture at an elevation of 4320 meters, which is also known as Kharka is our stopping point for today. We set up our tent in the grassland with the wilderness of mountains around.

Today is the most important day of our climbing journey as we summit the peak of Pisang. Leaving high camp, we start climbing along a well-defined ridge with the help of a rope fixed on the ridge.

The pass is marked by the chortens and prayer flags and we can find few tea houses on the way. As we climb up, we will be rewarded with astounding views of towering peaks in Annapurna region.
