Nepal Tour Packages 2026/2027

Amazing company to book your trek with!
Apr 2017 • Solo
I just finished hiking Gokyo Lakes to Everest Base Camp loop with Access Nepal. I would highly recommend this itinerary as it takes you away from the “Everest highway” and into smaller villages and less busy trails. The Gokyo Lakes are incredible and one of the highlights of my trip along with making it to base camp. Personally I found the Gokyo Lakes to be more scenic and base camp more of a bucket list item. With this itinerary you don’t have to choose! Also you get the benefit of going up one valley and down another providing new views. I found the entire trip well organized and beautiful. I am a single female traveler and was a little nervous about it. Sadhana was very quick to reply and had me join with a group of 3 women already going which was ideal for me. Being alone I had many questions before the trek that were answered usually with one day. Once you arrive to Kathmandu everything is taken care of, which is nice because Kathmandu can be somewhat overwhelming in the beginning. We had a power tour of 4 of the main religious sites in Kathmandu that was really interesting and helped provide a lot of information about Nepal and Kathmandu. As for the trek it was incredible! Our trekking guide Ganesh spoke great English and did a thorough job explaining things to the group. From what I saw of other guides he went much above the average. Every night after dinner we would get a briefing on the next day including how long each section would be and sights along the way. He arranged all the rooms in the teahouses, porters, and flights in and out of Lukla. He frequently checked on how we were feeling and would even tell us what room he was staying in if anything happened overnight. The combination of a slow ascent and a careful guide meant that nobody got serious altitude sickness in our group of four. Considering we went as high as 18,000 feet this was an accomplishment. Most groups had to have at least one person and up to half of the group flown out due to altitude sickness in comparison. Accommodations are basic but I was happy with them for every night of the 16 nights except one. Expect a room with two beds usually a toilet down the hall. This is generally what is available in all teahouses. This tour includes basically everything: pick up and drop off at the international airport, all accommodations, flights to and from Lukla, all food while on the trek, guide and porters. I rented a sleeping bag and down jacket which is also included if you want and found them both to be good quality. While trekking you get one meal item and a cup of tea included for every meal. You do have to bring enough cash for a tip and some if you want extra snacks or wifi along the way. When comparing to other trekking companies definitely check to see if food is included because many I found did not. From people I talked to we paid less for our tour and in my opinion had a better experience. I would highly recommend Access Nepal.

I went on the Annapurna Circuit trek. It was excellent from start to finish. Our porters and guide, P.N. helped to ensure we stayed in the best tea houses and that the trek was a pleasure throughout. I would definitely use this company again.

Three High Passes Trekking – Better than Excellent

I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on the Three High Passes trek in Nepal with Access Nepal, and I cannot praise them enough for their outstanding service. This agency truly understands the essence of adventure and provided me with an unforgettable experience. The highlight of my journey was undoubtedly the exceptional guide, Devman Tamang, who went above and beyond to ensure our trek was a success.

From the moment we started our trek, Devman proved himself to be an invaluable asset. He assisted me in every aspect, from selecting the right meals to caring for our bodies and motivating us during challenging days. His professionalism and competence in looking after both myself and the group were exceptional, particularly when it came to our physical well-being, which is of utmost importance in the mountains where altitude sickness can be a concern. Devman’s sense of humor, patience, and helpfulness made the trek even more enjoyable.

The Three High Passes trail is undeniably demanding, and without a knowledgeable guide like Devman, I would not have been able to achieve success. However, with his guidance, I was able to navigate through the challenging terrain and witness some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes imaginable. The trail took us through enchanting forests, awe-inspiring glaciers, snowy landscapes, river crossings, and provided us with breathtaking views of lakes and majestic mountains from the tea houses where we stayed. It truly felt like a dream come true.

Right from the beginning, Sadhana, who assisted us, was incredibly attentive and efficient. Her excellent customer service ensured that our entire experience, from the initial planning stages to the final day, was smooth and enjoyable.

I wholeheartedly recommend Access Nepal to anyone seeking a perfect experience in Nepal. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The combination of the remarkable Three High Passes trail, the exceptional guidance of Devman, and the outstanding service provided by Access Nepal truly made this an unforgettable adventure.

Everest Base Camp Trek
Dec 2016 • Solo

Just came back from my trip to Everest Base Camp with “Access Nepal”. Excellent service before and during the trek. It was a last minute decision to go in December and I had to rush to organize everything in time. Sadhana was very helpful and answered all my questions prior the booking and gave an excellent introduction upon arrival in Kathmandu. The trip was very well organized. Our guide Ganesh was amazing. He was fluent in English and gave us lots of information about the area, Nepalese culture and history. He took good care of us at all time. The accommodation and the food was better than expected. Only downfall was that the guesthouses only used the heater for a couple of hours every evening. The rooms were freezing with -15degrees making sleeping nearly impossible. Other than that I had a great experience and I’d definitely recommend this company to every one. It was good value for money as well.

Just did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Acc.ess Nepal. Loved our guide (Mahendra) and also porter (Dipak). Very accomodative, helpful, and follows our pace. Sadhana who helped to organised everything was also very efficient and accomodative since she had to change our plans last minute because I missed my flight to Kathmandu. And yet we managed to do everything we wanted to do in Nepal. Great teamwork and people. Highly recommended.

….Better than Excellent! 14 day trek to EBC
Apr 2018 • Couples
I highly recommend using Access Nepal for your trek in Nepal. We did the 14-day Everest Base Camp trek the last two weeks in April 2018 and it was well organized, professionally guided and an excellent adventure for my boyfriend and me. Ms. Sadhana Adhikari is the Executive Travel Advisor we dealt with by phone and email from the U.S. and was our main contact (other than our guide Dev) in Nepal. She handled our reservation efficiently, was responsive to our requests and questions; well organized itinerary, good prep, personable. Great to work with! At our intro meeting upon arrival, Sadhana reviewed the itinerary, policy, gear needs, other things–and tipping. See below.* We wanted to trek as our own group of two with a guide and that worked out great as we trekked slower than other groups. We’re active, yet I turned 60 on the trek (cool) and the other person is 66 (he did this EBC trek 40 years ago…super cool.) The Hotel Blue Horizon in Katmandu is terrific, by the way. Stayed there before and after the trek and it was inexpensive $ and just wonderful. Staff is out of sight friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. Excellent breakfast included.

I can’t say enough about our top-notch guide: Devman Tamang. He had excellent knowledge of and experience on EBC and other Himalayan treks, as well as Nepali culture, history, tradition, religion, demographics and getting in and out of Lukla in one piece! (That is a story…worked out slick all in all.) He was personable, interesting and when you spend 14 days together, you hope it’s a comfortable fit–it was! He has a good sense of humor and quick wit. He was flexible with us on the schedule (starting earlier in the morning, etc.) and was great about discussing any of our great ideas! lol)

Accommodations in the tea houses are pretty basic and we asked to have a bathroom/toilet in our room since we’d been hydrating all day. The sleeping rooms are not heated and were rather cold (and that from a Minnesotan) so the in-room toilets were a convenience that Dev arranged, and for which we paid a little more. The beds at every tea house were spartan, but were in fact, very comfortable and the quilts/heavy blankets were fabulously warm over our sleeping bags. The Access Nepal sleeping bags we used were excellent and we were not cold once we were in bed. A couple places even had warm/hot showers-an unexpected treat. The tea house dining rooms were warm (yak turd and kerosene fueled stoves), full of other trekkers who we saw on a recurring basis over the trek and occasionally reminded me of the cantina in Star Wars (in an amusing and other-worldly way…no blasters or light sabers noted!) A highlight, great time to chat with people from around the world.
WIFI is not cheap and is spotty but Dev let us know what our options were at each tea house dining room. Used it minimally to send email/text; sending photos is slow and uses up most of a limited Everest Link wifi card.
Meds: Bring a lot of Tylenol, Ibuprofen, a decongestant, cough drops (you can also buy those and Diclofenac in Kathmandu), perhaps a topical analgesic for sore muscles. Dev’s first aid kit held an array of basic meds which were very helpful as well. He shared local honey from his mom for one malady. I would have brought muscle relaxers and a stronger pain med for some of the random problems I had from hiking long days with new pack etc. Hand warmers were one of the best things I had for getting warm after hiking (lots cheaper to bring them from home. Rather pricey in Namche…) I took Diamox, my friend did not.
Dev saved my bacon on this trek, and really, he did everything within reason to make both our lives more comfortable and to summit successfully. He was great about making sure we drank enough tea and water and ate food (which was consistent between tea houses and pretty good overall. Didn’t eat any meat as it is brought in by yak and didn’t want to chance a stomach problem. Bummer, I wanted to try a yak steak!) Meals were bigger than I could routinely eat (I’m a smaller human…) and the cooks don’t like leftovers, so I shared with my friend and Dev if they were still hungry.
We bought bottled water the whole trek, carried TP and small bottle of biodegradable soap. Tough to get laundry done on trek due to limited time and hang dry only.
On April 23, we trekked through the memorial area before reaching Lobuche and Dev helped us make rock, juniper and prayer flag memorials to our loved ones who have died. Very moving. And at dinner that evening in Lobuche, he had a homemade Tibetan cake, replete with birthday candles served to our table for my 60th b-day. Altitude, emotion, whatever….it was really moving to celebrate my birthday with all my new friends/strangers in the dining room. Thanks to Dev for planning the cake and celebration. It meant a lot to me…I still went to bed early as Base Camp was next day. I appreciated Dev’s positive, kind and low-key but not too mellow attitude, especially on my tougher hiking days. As I said, he was a key component in helping me reach Base Camp (On the morning we left Lobuche for Base Camp, the temperature dropped, and wind and snow started. It was a cold, challenging yet exciting day.)
You may consider a 16-day trek if you want to have more time on the return trek. The last three days back to Lukla were long trekking days for us, yet we were anxious to get back to Lukla, Kathmandu and beyond. It’s a trade-off for you to balance. I still preferred the 14 day. Having said that, I reminded myself regularly throughout the entire trek, to stop and enjoy the trip. Pain, altitude, snow…whatever…I reminded myself to notice the incredible environment, scenery and experience. Even when I felt like crud, that focus wasn’t lost on me…We stopped to enjoy the indescribable scenery, peaks, rhododendrons, take photos, walk the longer way around the Buddhist symbols and sometimes have tea and snack when we got tired. Go slow, enjoy was our mantra. BTW, we had great weather nearly every day: either clear and warm or cooler and comfortable. Except on Base Camp day. lol

**Tipping: This is important. Guides and porters depend on tips (in addition to their compensation) so build that into your budget. Our porter Astaram (16) was doing one of his first treks. Filling in for his older brother and on a break from school, this young man was awesome. He schlepped our two heavy Access Nepal duffel bags to each stop and had them waiting when we arrived each night. The porters work their butts off–don’t forget them. We gave him the tip personally on the last day and it meant a lot to him. I don’t think tips are dependent on reaching the destination (variables such as altitude sickness or other unforeseeable issues may intercede), it really was the overall experience that mattered, though I am grateful to Dev for helping me get to base camp. But I am also happy with the entire experience-that’s what my tip was for. We had a small group, so we tipped more on a percentage basis. It was well worth it and given the very reasonable cost of the Access Nepal trek itself, I felt comfortable with it. We gave some $ early on and the balance at the end. And we talked about overall comp-as well as just about everything else- on the trail. Dollars or Rupees…doesn’t matter. Just remember that it is not built into the price of the trek.

Epilogue: excellent trek and adventure. LOVED Nepal and Kathmandu–you might want to wear a mask or buff as the city air quality is poor. We both got nasty head and chest colds the last day of the trek, so noticed the city air more. We really liked the people throughout Nepal, enjoyed extra days walking all over Kathmandu. Bought a lot of inexpensive knock off gear for future endeavors and because nearly all our clothes were dirty. Laundry is done at hotels but didn’t find a self-laundromat which is what I needed. I am staying in touch with a couple people I met via Facebook and would have brought some business cards to exchange with people I met.
I would recommend ACCESS NEPAL TOUR & TREKKING to anyone regardless of skill or experience, for a great experience at a very reasonable price.
