The trek that has more of nature than modernity and that caters authentic culture some of them dating back to 16-17th century- Jhomolhari Trek
If any trek in Bhutan offers the wide biodiversity of Bhutanese landscapes, it is undoubtedly Jhomolhari Trek. Access Nepal caters exclusive Jhomolhari Trek in Bhutan that comprises a few days of sightseeing of Bhutanese towns and an incredibly wonderful trek along very rarely trodden trails of Bhutan. The Choholmari Trek winds through the dense vegetation full of pines occasionally emerging at sprinkled hamlets and alpine meadows all the way up to elevated yak pastures, where the nomadic life of the herders can be seen at its best.
Moreover, this offbeat trek in Bhutan also caters to the scenic views of snowcapped Himalayan peaks like Mt. Jhomolhari and Mt. Jichu Drake. The night in camp at Choholmari Base Camp is a thrilling adventure that the trek offers and in the meantime the encounter with traditional Bhutanese culture in frequent remote villages trekkers emerge to during the trek is also the prime highlight of this trek.
Our value-added trek in Bhutan not only caters for the fascinating walk, but it also takes you to all the major temples and monasteries, dzongs and museums, and marketplaces that fall on the trail of the famous Jhomolhari Trek. Spend quality time with Access Nepal trekking in the highlands of Bhutan where you can very rarely see the western influence.
Today you will enter the Land of Dragon. You have options to fly from several cities to Paro. You can fly from Bangkok, Delhi or Kathmandu to Paro. The flight to Paro is beautiful as the aircraft comes closer to Paro, we get to see snowcapped Himalayan peaks and just after entering Paro Valley the view of Paro Dzong overlooking Paro River is a great view. On our arrival at Paro, we are cordially welcomed by our representative in Bhutan who will escort you to your hotel in Paro.
After the breakfast, today we are going on a hike. A five hour hike to and fro to a cliff hanging monastery is probably the biggest highlight of Short Cultural Tour of Bhutan. Taktsang Monastery also knwon as Tiger’s Nest because of the myth that states the visit of Guru Rinpoche on a Tiger back nestles on a cliff that hangs 90m above Paro. We hike up to the monastery, explore aorund and hike back down to Paro for the lunch.
Post lunch, we visit Ta Dzong, the National Museum of the Kingdom. The monument was orginally a Watch Tower. However since 1967 it is a National Museum holding a huge collection of arts, artifacts, thankas and postal stamps. The final destination of the enetire Short Cultural Tour of Bhutan is Ripung Dzong which also has a long significant history in Bhutan. Overnight in a hotel at Paro.Originally built as Watch Tower since 1967 it is acting as the National Museum of the country and holding fascinating collection of art, artifacts, thangkha paintings and Bhutan’s exquisite postage stamps. Then walk down the trail to visit Rinpung Dzong which has a long and fascinating history.While having sightseeing tour of Paro, we would be preparing for the trek starting tomorrow.
Overnight in a hotel at Paro.
To begin the trek, we drive to Drukyel Dzong, which is a very short drive. As the Jhomolhari Trek kicks off from Drukyel Dzong 2575m, it winds downhill along the wide open trail. Further, we trek up to through the wonderful landscapes that has beautifully carved terraced fields of rice and millet. Savoring the scenic view of Bhutanese farmlands, we come across to the pleasant apple orchard and beyond the orchard our trek begins to traverse through beautiful tropical forest. Trekking through the forest, we emerge at wide valley and soon arrive to Army Post at Gunitsawa (2810m). This Army post lies in a close proximity with Tibetan border. We continue to trek uphill to Sharma Zampa 2900m, which caters many ideal campsites after the first day of Jhomolhari Trek.Overnight in camp.
As we begin our Jhomolhari Trek today, first we slide down to Paro River. Then we begin to trek upstream along the river. Climbing up and sliding down for quite a few time s through beautiful forest comprising pine, oak and spruce we cross the bridge over Paro River and get to a wide space on its left bank, where we have a picnic lunch. Post lunch, we continue to trek along the trail beside the river. At apoint we climb up into the the wonderful rhododendron forest to listen the pleasing gush of Paro River. No wonder, we again descend down to the river and cross a bridge over it to reach our campsite at Soi Thangthanka. At the end of Day 2 on Jhomolhari Trek, we have walked almost 20km, which is a challenging accomplishment. Overnight in a camp.
The third day of Jhomolhari Trek in Bhutan is yet another long day. Today we trek 19km. Starting the trek with the ascending uphill climb that extends for couple of hours takes us to the Army Camp. Beyond the Army Camp, the walk is very pleasant. We chase the trail on the river bank, which has a beautiful treeline right above it. The striking views of Himalayas including Mt. Jhomolhari comes into our sight. We will enjoy our lunch in a well located yak herder’s camp. After the lunch a wonderful hike through the wide valleys brings us to our campsite in Jangothang. The views of Mt. Jichu Drake and Mt. Jhomolhari are stunningly impressive from the campsite. Overnight in camp.
Jangothang is also known as Jhomolhari Base Camp. We rest at the camp for acclimatization. Acclimatization is required because the next we are getting as high as 4700m to the top of Nye-le La Pass. We can explore to Tshophu Lake, see around the yak herder’s camp in the close proximity. Ask your guide for the best suited option on this day.
After the rest day at our camp in Jangothang, we resume the Jhomolhari Trek towards Lingshi. 18km walk today is going to be fun. Beginning the trek, we hike along the trail at the bank of gentle stream for almost thirty minutes to a bridge. We cross the bridge and get to the other bank of the stream. Crossing the stream a uphill climb on the ridge awaits us. We savor the magnificent views of Jhomolhari, Jichu Drake and Tserimgang while ascending over the ridge. After the strenuous ascent we come across to a leveled valley. Trekking along the valley floor, we gradually begin to gain altitude to the top of Nyele-La Pass 4700m. From the top of the pass we see the wonderful view of valley we trekked few hours ago, mountains seem equally beautiful and the view of Lingshi Dzong is simple superb. We descend down from the pass to our campsite in Lingshi. Overnight in a camp.
After the breakfast in our camps, we get to a higher elevation, which has a beautiful small white chorten over the ridge just above our campsite. Beyond the ridge, the trek turns south up into the deep Mo Chu Valley. Trekking along the valley floor, we stay on the western side, which is a large treeless side of the valley. Climbing up for a while above Mo Chu Valley, we arrive to a river, which we cross and begin to climb up on a steep trail to the top of Yeli-La Pass 4825m. After two hours of climb we get to the top of the pass, from where we get to see the mesmerizing views of Himalayan peaks that include Jhomolhari, Gangchenta, Tserimgang and Masagang. Beyond the top of the pass, we then slide down along the stream to a rocky shelter hanging on a cliff. Trekking down further, with the stream, we arrive to Sodhu, our campsite.
Jhomolhari Trek today begins with a short descending climb down to Thimpu River. We then chase the trail beside the river that descends down through the beautiful alpine woodlands comprising Rhododendron, Juniper. Throughout the day’s trek the views are incredibly beautiful. We will halt for the lunch break at a riverside. Post lunch, the trek slides up gradually to the remains of Barshong Dzong. Somewhere close to the Dzong we will settle down our camps. Though relatively easy day, we have trekked 16 km today.
We are now almost close to completing interesting Jhomolhari Trek. Today’s trek begins to gently slide down through the dense forest of Rhododendron, Birch and conifers before its inclination sharpens steeply down to Thimpu River. Once getting to the riverbed, we chase the left bank of the river, climb over the ridges occasionally, descend into the gullies to meet small stream that slide into Thimpu River and finally emerge up to a cliff high above Thimpu River. coming out onto Pastureland where we camp for the night at 3600m. Overnight at campsite.
Today is last day of Jhomolhari Trek. The trek traverses frequently in and out of the valley above Thimpu River and ascends steeply up to a Pass at 3510 through dense alpine forest. Beyond the pass we drop down to the river and head south to Dodena. After three hours of trek today, Jhomolhari Trek with Access Nepal ends. At Dodena a private vehicle picks you up that drives you to your hotel in Thimpu. Enjoy a comfortable night in a comfortable hotel in Thimpu.
Today the real cultural tour of Bhutan begins and the best way to begin from is Bhutanese capital, Thimpu. In Thimpu, we visit Trashichhoedzong, the beautiful medieval time fortress/monastery, which is now the Bhutanese government’s integral building holding many governement offices and King’s throne. Trashichhoedzong is also the summer home of Je Khenpo, the Chief Abbot in Bhutan. The cultural tour of Thimpu continues to the National Library which holds the wide array of ancient Buddhist texts and manuscripts. Explore Arts and Crafts School to witness the fantastic ongoing workshops of Thanka Paintings and encounter the living traditions of Bhutan at Textile and Folk Heritage Museums before the lunch.
Post lunch, the sightseeing tour of Thimpu, takes you to the Handicrafts Emporium followed by a visit to Stupa of Memorial Chorten (monument built in the memory of Father of Modern Bhutan- the third king of Bhutan). After a thorough exploration of Bhutanese capital ,we drive back to Paro, which is a pleasant ninety minutes drive along wonderful Bhutanese Highway. Overnight in a hotel in Paro.
Our representative will drive you to Paro International Airport on time so that you board a plane to your onward destination on time. Have a safe flight home and travel with Access Nepal.
A trekking permit is a mandatory requirement for undertaking the Jomolhari Trek in Bhutan. The permit is usually obtained through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator, and it plays a crucial role in the government’s “High-Value, Low-Impact Tourism” policy.
Process: Contact your chosen tour operator well in advance to facilitate the permit application process. Provide all necessary documents and information, including the duration of your trek, to ensure a smooth and timely approval.
Fees: While fees can vary, the trekking permit fee contributes to the conservation of the natural environment and helps regulate the number of trekkers to minimize the impact on the delicate ecosystems.
Purpose: Certain sections of the Jomolhari Trek pass through protected areas and national parks. As such, there may be an additional fee to enter these conservation zones. These fees contribute to the preservation of the local flora and fauna.
Conservation Efforts: The national park fee supports conservation initiatives, including the maintenance of trails, environmental education programs, and the protection of endangered species inhabiting the region.
Compliance: Trekkers are expected to comply with all regulations and guidelines set forth by the local authorities. Adherence to these rules ensures the sustainability of the trekking routes and minimizes ecological impact.
Permit Verification: Carry a printed or digital copy of your trekking permit and national park entry permit. Authorities may request verification at various checkpoints along the trail.
Local Emergency Services: Familiarize yourself with local emergency contact numbers in Bhutan. Save these numbers in your phone and share them with your trekking companions. Emergency services in Bhutan are well-equipped to handle various situations.
Tour Operator Coordination: Keep your tour operator’s contact information readily available. In case of an emergency, they can facilitate communication with local authorities and organize necessary assistance.
Travel Insurance: Consider obtaining comprehensive travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation and medical expenses. Verify that the policy specifically includes coverage for high-altitude trekking activities.
Emergency Evacuation Services: Ensure your insurance covers the cost of emergency helicopter evacuation if needed. Bhutan’s mountainous terrain may necessitate air evacuation in case of severe injuries or altitude-related illnesses.
Communication Plan: Establish a communication plan with your trekking group. Ensure everyone knows the emergency procedures and has access to emergency contacts.
Health Check: Prior to the trek, undergo a medical check-up to identify any pre-existing conditions that might pose risks during high-altitude trekking.
Weather Monitoring: Stay informed about weather conditions, especially if trekking in the shoulder seasons. Sudden changes in weather can impact trekking conditions.
Group Dynamics: Trek with a reputable tour operator that emphasizes safety and has experienced guides. In case of emergencies, follow the guidance of the trekking team.
Gradual Ascent: Altitude sickness is a concern when ascending to high elevations. The Jomolhari Trek involves significant altitude changes, so it’s essential to acclimatize gradually. The itinerary includes rest days at key points like Jangothang to aid acclimatization.
Stay Hydrated: Maintain proper hydration throughout the trek. Dehydration can exacerbate the symptoms of altitude sickness. Consume an adequate amount of water, even if you don’t feel particularly thirsty.
Awareness: Educate yourself and your trekking companions about the symptoms of altitude sickness, which can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. Early recognition is crucial for effective management.
Group Monitoring: Keep an eye on fellow trekkers and communicate openly about how everyone is feeling. If any member of the group displays symptoms of altitude sickness, it’s important to take them seriously.
Carry Medications: Include altitude sickness medications, such as acetazolamide, in your first aid kit. Consult with a healthcare professional before the trek to determine the appropriate medications for your group.
Rest and Descent: If symptoms persist or worsen, prioritize rest and consider descending to a lower altitude. Prompt action can prevent the progression of altitude sickness to more severe forms.
Physical Preparation: Engage in regular physical activity to improve your cardiovascular fitness before the trek.
Listen to Guides: Experienced guides are familiar with altitude-related challenges. Heed their advice and communicate openly about how you’re feeling.
Weather Awareness: Be aware of weather conditions, as extreme cold and precipitation can increase the risk of altitude-related issues.
Limited Coverage: While mobile network coverage is available in some areas along the Jomolhari Trek, it can be sporadic and unreliable, especially in more remote sections. Be prepared for stretches without network connectivity.
Local SIM Card: Consider purchasing a local Bhutanese SIM card upon arrival in Paro. This can be useful for emergency communication and to stay in touch with your tour operator or guide.
Scarcity of Internet Access: Expect limited access to the internet during the trek. Embrace this digital detox and immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. Internet connectivity may improve in towns like Paro and Thimphu during the sightseeing portions of your itinerary.
Wi-Fi Availability: Wi-Fi availability in trekking lodges or campsites may be limited. Plan your communication needs accordingly, and inform family and friends in advance of potential communication gaps.
Charging Facilities: Charging facilities for electronic devices may not be readily available during the trek. Bring a portable charger to ensure you can power essential devices, such as cameras and headlamps.
Power Outages: Be prepared for occasional power outages, especially in more remote areas. It’s advisable to conserve battery power and use electronic devices judiciously.
Scenic Drive: The journey from Paro to Drukyel Dzong typically involves a scenic drive through picturesque landscapes. Confirm transportation arrangements with your tour operator and enjoy the initial glimpses of Bhutan’s natural beauty.
Guided Tour: The sightseeing tour in Thimphu is likely to include visits to monasteries, dzongs, museums, and local markets. Transportation for this portion of the itinerary is usually arranged by your tour operator.
Confirm Departure Plans: Clarify the mode of transportation from Thimphu back to Paro for your departure. Ensure that departure logistics are well-coordinated with your tour operator to avoid any last-minute issues.
Spring (April to June): This period offers clear skies, blossoming flora, and moderate temperatures. The rhododendrons are in full bloom, creating vibrant landscapes. Spring is an ideal time for the Jomolhari Trek, with pleasant weather and favorable trekking conditions.
Autumn (September to November): Another excellent trekking season characterized by clear skies and stable weather. The temperatures are cooler than in spring, and the autumn landscapes provide stunning views of the Himalayas. This season is popular among trekkers.
July to August: Monsoon season brings heavy rainfall and increased risk of landslides. Trekking during this period is not recommended due to challenging trail conditions and safety concerns. Consider planning your trek during the drier seasons.
Environmental Conservation: Adhere to the principles of Leave No Trace to minimize your ecological impact. Pack out all waste, avoid disturbing wildlife, and stay on designated trails. Respect the natural environment and contribute to its preservation.
Cultural Respect: Respect local culture and traditions during your trek. Seek permission before photographing people, religious sites, or private property. Cultivate a positive and mutually respectful interaction with the communities you encounter.
It is the best way to explore a country as naturally and culturally diverse as Nepal. Aside from immersing in the wonders of nature, you get to meet people who are known for their friendliness and hospitality. The adventurous walk cuts through rhododendron forests (even at lower altitude), streams and rivers, interesting villages, monasteries and monuments and also climbs over glaciers and high altitude viewpoints.
If you are physically fit and guided by a sense of adventure, you would love trekking! The mountains and hills of Nepal have trails that match all abilities. The remotest trails that are mostly unexplored to well-marked trails with ample facilities, Nepal has it all.
The prime challenges trekkers face in the trekking regions are language barrier and navigation. A major section of the trekking regions are uninhabited and in the remaining sections that are, the locals hardly understand English or other foreign languages. Weather conditions and other unanticipated challenges can make it difficult to plan the day’s trek, meals and shelter options. A wrong turn could push you off the trail into harm’s way.
A guide on the other hand, eases things for you, enriches your experience and ensures safety. Guidance that comes from experience and deep local knowledge lets you to enjoy and make the most out of your trip while you leave the arrangements and planning to your guide who becomes an important part of your team.
There is no specific age limit. Trekkers as young as 6 and as old as 75 have trekked in the Himalayas. However, trekkers under the age of 18 are required to be accompanied by a guardian. Younger trekkers should only be brought along if they can be appropriately cared for and can properly communicate any problems to their guardian.
Trekking in the Himalayas can be moderately challenging to difficult based on the terrain, number of trekking days, time of the year and current weather conditions. It also depends on previous trekking experience and skill of the trekker.
It is preferable, but not necessary. However, physical fitness and the ability to cope with strenuous conditions in high altitudes is necessary to make the experience a pleasant one. It is therefore recommended that you begin physical training, involving cardiovascular workout and stamina enhancement months ahead of the trek.
Although the destinations in lower altitude can be trekked throughout the year, Spring (February to May) and Autumn (October to December) are the best times to trek in high altitude. Nepal receives monsoon rain from June through September, which is not a great time to trek. However, the rain shadow areas of Upper Mustang, Dolpo and Nar-Phu offer a great escape during the season. Winter is very cold in the upper mountains with heavy snowfall which cause obstructions in the trekking routes.
A Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) card is necessary for most trekking regions. An entrance permit is required for protected areas such as the Annapurna Conservation Area, Sagarmatha National Park and others. Upon confirmation of your booking, we acquire all necessary permits on your behalf.
Most of our treks range from one to four weeks.
The average trekking hours is around six hours. It can range from four to eight hours a day depending upon trail conditions, day of the itinerary, and weather conditions.
All treks with an exception of a camping trek include accommodation in a mountain lodge or guest house for overnight stays and meals.
Teahouse trekking is a popular trekking option wherein trekkers stay at cozy local tea houses in the mountainous regions on a full-board basis. This trekking style is preferred by most trekkers who do not want to carry the additional burden of tent, food supplies and other daily necessities.
Camping trek involves spending the night in designated outdoor campsites at the end of each trekking day. The team caters to all your meals and you sleep in tents. We have a team of professional cook and support staff in addition to guides and porters.
During the trek, we provide as much chlorinated water as you need. You may also refill your bottles at refreshment stops or at the hotel if you happen to carry chlorine tablets or other water purification options. You can also buy bottled water along the trail on most treks. A liter of bottled water ranges from USD 1 in shops and teahouses at lower elevation up to USD 4 in high altitude teahouses.
Most trekking trips involve eating at teahouses or lodges along the trail. These facilities have existed for quite some time at key places and have been serving trekkers and travelers with hygienic food and shelter. Most lodges source the ingredients from their own organic kitchen garden.
You can find common continental and oriental dishes on the menu while the staple dal-bhat-tarkari (lentil soup-rice-vegetable or meat curry) is the specialty almost everywhere. It is recommended that you stick to vegetarian dishes while on trek as the meat available is not refrigerated and therefore unsafe to consume. Although the menu gets limited as you ascend higher, it is common to find dal-bhat and noodles with soup almost anywhere. You may be surprised to find good bakeries in high altitude villages in the Everest and Annapurna region though.
The nationwide expansion of mobile network has made it possible to enjoy 4G and 3G network in most parts of the trek up to moderate altitude. A simcard for NCell and NTC, the leading mobile telecommunications providers can easily be availed. Uninterrupted connection however is greatly affected by weather conditions and terrain. More high altitude remote areas like the Everest base camp require satellite phones.
A good level of overall fitness, sound health and stamina is necessary to go on and enjoy the trek. If you have any chronic or acute health condition, we recommend that you consult your physician before signing up for the trip.
It is a known fact that oxygen levels at higher altitudes are significantly lower than the level that we are used to and the body needs to adjust to this change in atmosphere. The best way to aid acclimation is to climb slowly. We have prepared our itinerary to allow enough time for acclimation and not put too much of strain on the body. Adequate acclimation days, a combination of rest and a short hike have been arranged to further support the process. Minor symptoms of altitude sickness include severe, persistent headache, coughing, pressure in the chest, shortness of breath even while at rest, dizziness, tiredness, loss of appetite and others. It is vital you constantly monitor your health condition and report any signs of sickness to your team leader.
With gradual ascent of altitude, prolonged exposure to increased solar radiation can harm our skin and eyes. Fresh snow in high altitudes reflect hazardous levels of UV rays that can cause much damage, especially to the eyes. It is thus vital to adequately protect them. Use of hats, long-sleeved clothing, sunblock lotion with adequate SPF and goggles are strongly recommended.
If you fall sick or get injured despite precautions, our first-aid trained guides would be your first help. Depending upon the nature of sickness or injury, you would either be immediately taken to a lower altitude (in case of altitude sickness) or evacuated by a rescue helicopter for medical attention. We would require your insurance details to arrange for a rescue helicopter if you are injured in a remote area and in no condition to trek further.
Safety of all our guests is our utmost priority. Nepal has been well-known as a safe destination and the Nepalese as friendly and welcoming people. We generally trek in small groups in constant care and company of our experienced and expert guides. The places that we frequently utilize as our stops have been known to be reliable and safe over the years that we have been served. As such the safety of all travelers is ensured.
Your insurance is mandatory and should cover emergency air ambulance and/or helicopter rescue services and all related medical expenses for injury, death, loss of baggage, theft and trip cancellation. Please ensure that all activities and destinations in the itinerary are included in your policy, specifically mountaineering or alpinism. You are required to send in you insurance details while booking the trip. For more information, please refer to Useful trek info.
Please refer to our detailed packing list for guidance. It is important that you consider your trekking route and the season you would be trekking in to pack adequately and properly. You would neither want to be underprepared for the freezing high mountains nor burdened with extra clothing and gears you would hardly use. Broadly speaking, a good quality backpack, down jacket (rated up to -10ºC), a warm fleece jacket, moisture-wicking top, trekking pants and shorts, thermal underwear, a pair of comfortable boots, woolen socks with extras, woolen caps, hat, scarves, UV protection goggles, trekking poles, water bottle and a good quality sleeping bag are the essentials. If you happen to miss out any items, you can easily purchase or rent any gears or supplies in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
The maximum weight of baggage per person on a mountain flight is 15 kg including hand carry, so please make sure you do not carry any extra items that you would hardly use on trek. This is also to strictly ensure that our porters are not overburdened. Any additional baggage that you bring along would be subject to additional cost from the airlines company and for hiring of an extra porter.
A sturdy yet comfortable pair of walking boots with ankle support is recommended for trekking. Always pick a broken-in pair of boots over new ones to prevent blisters and other inconveniences while on trek. The soles must be thick enough to protect your feet from sharp rocks and have a good tread for grip. If possible, opt for water-resistant boots that help keep your feet dry. Use woolen socks to keep your feet warm and do not forget to pack in extra pairs. A pair of crampons makes walking on ice easy.
A porter carries 10 to 12 kg per person of your baggage depending upon the trekking route, altitude and weather conditions. We allocate one porter for every two trekkers. A camping porter carries more.
Tipping your guide and porter is not obligatory, but it has become a standard practice to tip your guide and porter in Nepal in appreciation of their care and service. Most of the guides and locals belong to communities in the trekking regions and even a small support can help them look after their families better. Although the tip amount depends upon your satisfaction and financial conditions, trekkers normally tip around 15% of the trip cost.
Our trip costs include all expenses during the trip. It covers your transportation to and from the trek start and end destinations, accommodations, meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), permit and fees. You may require some pocket money for your personal expenses. It can be used to cover bottled water, snacks, extra coffee and tea, souvenirs, voluntary tips and donations.
We do not specifically have extra charges for solo travelers. However, a solo traveler who asks for a private room is required to bear single supplement charges (around … per day) which is subject to availability on trek, as our accommodation cost is on twin-share basis. Also, if you choose to trek solo without joining a trek group, you are required to pay an extra USD 15 a day for a porter.
If at all, the trek is not completed due to health and other reasons or completed before the designated date mentioned on the itinerary, no refund can be offered. Please be informed that we are not in a position to offer any refund as we are obliged to pay for our guides’ and porters’ efforts and time, booked services and cover our administrative expenses.

ExcellentBased on 318 reviewsDavid M2023-06-27Excellent all round Completed the three peaks pass with access Nepal. Hiked for 15 days straight. Found a couple of day’s challenging. The challenge made the adventure even more special. Found access Nepal to be a great company. Everything was organised and constant communication between their office and our designated go between. Our guide Subodh was fantastic. Provided plenty information on cultural landmarks along the walk and of Nepal itself. He encouraged us to go at our own pace and was flexible with the path to make some days easier and catch up on other days. We had 3 sherpas Netra, yubaraj and Dipesh. These guys are beasts and well deserve a generous tip. All in all the trip was fantastic and the price for the trip was on the low side compared to other tour companies and they are a local company that rely on word of mouth. Would book them in again when going back to Nepal. David (Australia)Fernanda M2023-06-07Guaranteed support and unique experience with Access I did the Three Passes Trekking with Access and I can assure you that it was the best experience of my life. Sadhana gave me all the support a few weeks before the trip, organized the itinerary, a guide gave me all the tips before the trip, clothes, health, itinerary, tips and everything else. In addition to everything, Lakpa was my guide, I don't know what would have become of me without him, he recognized the moments when I was very tired, he arranged all my organization for a peaceful stay in the lodges and he gave me a lot of support. Anyway, I recommend Access with my eyes closed, I want and will go back to Nepal in the near future and do other trekkings. It was my life's dream come true!Marita R2023-05-28Fantastic company that will give you the experience of a lifetime!

It's an absolutely lovely company that will handle your trip as professionally as possible, from arriving at the airport to leaving again. They listen to your needs and wishes, and customize the trip accordingly. We are always incredibly well taken care of by one of the managers, Sadhana, who is a dear friend by now, who always does anything she can to make the trip the absolute best it can be. And we couldn't have asked for better company or a more trustworthy guide than our guide Giri. The company has very high standards as to how they treat and compensate their staff, and its really visible in the content and pride shown by all of their staff members. As for the treks they offer, we've done both the Everest three high passes and the Manaslu circuit now, and both have been absolutely mind-blowing. There really is no other place in the world like the Himalayas. Every single part; the Jeep ride into the areas, the high roads, the mountain sides, the mountains following your every step; everything is just absolutely amazing. It's too amazing to describe in words or pictures. I can't tell you anything but to GO!!! It's well, well, well worth the time and cost!!Alcenir2023-05-273 passes with Accsess Nepal I had one of the best experiences of my life with Accsess Nepal, in the mountains of Nepal. To go to the Everest Base Camp is a dream of many. However, I wanted a little bit more, so I chose the "Everest 3 High Passes - 19 days" trek. Incredible. The sights and people of this wonderful place will remain etched in my memory forever. The company provided all the administrative support for my arrival in Kathmandu, through Sadhana. She was always very prompt with my various questions and ensured a perfect organization for my comfort and safety. And, finally, Devman. He was our guide during the trek. A first-rate professional. Very concerned about the safety of the group. Knowledgeable about the mountain and the fantastic Nepalese culture. He ensured that everyone individually enjoyed the best possible experience on this spectacular trek. I really recomend this company and if you can, choose Devman as your guide. Enjoy the mountain!Izabele F2023-05-22It was worth waiting so many years I did the Everest Base Camping trek with this agency and it was much better than I expected. I made the trip alone and received all the support from Sadhana and had the most partner guide along with the porter. I felt safe and respected the entire time. We form a family and enjoy every day with great joy. This trip will stay forever in my memory and heart. Very grateful to the entire Access Nepal family, especially my guide Sobodh for all his care and teachings.Girish B2023-05-03Grand tour of Nepal Our whole trip to Nepal was excellent from the tailor made itinerary organized by Pratap to the internal transfers by car. The whole trip was professionally organized after several discussions until it was exactly as we wanted and the tour company did not fail us. Our guide Bimal was very protective and very knowledgeable and the driver Laxman was safe and very experienced. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family as we got the exact trip that we wanted and expected. The hotels selected were fantastic throughout. If we were to do this trip again we would fly internally rather than drive as the roads were not that great. Thankyou Pratap for a memorable trip. Girish and Leena Bhome (UK)Vro v2023-05-02Perfect!
