Experiences

In October 2014, 2015 I completed another wonderful family trek in Nepal to Langtang and Gosainkund lakes thanks to Sappa and his company “Nepal Base Camp Treks”. I first met Sappa in 2008 on a family Gokyo Lakes Trek and EBC Trek. At that time, I was greatly impressed by the highly professional approach he took to mountain guiding. I’m very happy to report that in 2014 nothing has changed. Sappa continues to maintain an exceptionally high standard of service and this together with his warm, generous and engaging personality ensured everyone in our party had an amazing time during their visit to Nepal.

We were treated to fantastic traditional Nepalese food and cultural performances at welcoming and farewell dinners in Kathmandu; expertly and safely guided over 14 days of trekking through an incredibly beautiful landscape; and provided with detailed and knowledgeable commentary during our tours of all the main sites around Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. I’m very happy to report that the organisation of our transport, sightseeing, accommodation and trekking arrangements was first rate and that over three weeks everything ran very smoothly indeed. Overall, Sappa‘s vast guiding experience and mountain knowledge ensured that our itinerary was structured in such a way that it provided us with a good deal of flexibility and ample time to absorb the magnificent mountain views while trekking, as well as not being rushed on our tours of Kathmandu and surrounds.

On this trip, a few in our party were first time trekkers. What a fantastic introduction to trekking in the Nepal Himalaya they received thanks to the great care and attention to every little detail provided by Sappa and his fabulous support crew Manoj, Shankar and Suraj. Thank you Sappa,for also keeping up the tradition of supplying us with bananas and chocolate bars. I must also mention that the pomegranate seeds the crew provided to us on our way to Langtang was an unexpected but greatly appreciated treat. Importantly, from a safety aspect, we were more than pleased to find that Nepal Base Camp Treks used modern four wheel drive vehicles to take us to the start of our trek in Syabrubesi and also for the return journey from Dhunche. We were also very impressed to observe that Sappa and his company take very good care of their support crews.

If you are planning to visit Nepal, I have no hesitation in recommending Sappa and his company “Nepal Base Camp Treks” for trouble free trekking and touring. You will not be disappointed. I can’t wait for my next trek with Sappa, which will be around Manaslu trek.

German Language: Wir haben mit Sappa und einem Träger im Mai 2011 eine elftägige Trekking Tour durch die Langtang und Helambu Region gemacht. Wir sind das Langtang Tal von Syrabrubesi bis Kanjin Gompa hoch gewandert und dann über die Gosainkunde Seen, den Laurebina Pass und die Helambu Region nach Kathmandu zurückgekehrt. Der Trek war einfach wundervoll! Er führt durch verschiedene Vegetationszonen mit reicher Flora und Fauna und überwältigenden Aussichten auf die Gipfel des Himalaya. Darüber hinaus bot der Trek einen tiefen Einblick die die Tamang Kultur und das Leben und die Tradition der nepalesischen und tibetanischen Bevölkerung.

Sappa ist ein sehr erfahrener Führer, der die Gegend sehr gut kennt. Er verstand es perfekt, die Länge der täglichen Etappen und die Trekkinggeschwindigkeit auf unsere Wünsche und Bedürfnisse anzupassen und war insbesondere ein guter Ratgeber bei Fragen zur Höhenkrankheit. Sappa hat sich um alle Angelegenheiten mit den Lodges, den örtlichen Behörden, den Taxi- und Busfahrern etc. gekümmert. Er hat alle unsere Fragen zu den verschiedenen Bergketten und -gipfeln zur Länge der Auf- und Abstiege und zu den anderen Details der Gegend bereitwillig und mit großer Begeisterung beantwortet. Es war eine große Freude, ihm bei den Anekdoten aus dem Leben der Nepalesen, der Religion, Politik und Natur zuzuhören. Mit seiner Begeisterung und seinem Humor hat Sappa den Trek zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Wir können Sappa als erfahrenen, verständnisvollen und sympathischen Führer uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Nach den elf Tagen in der Einsamkeit des Himalaya ist aus unserem Führer ein Freund geworden.”

Sappa é o cara. Visitei o Nepal em duas ocasiões. Na primeira ele foi meu guia no circuito Annapurna, onde caminhamos por 21 dias. Na segunda ele nos guiou nos treks Langtang, Gosainkunda e Helambu por 17 dias. Alem disso, ele foi nosso guia no trek Cheppang Hills. Como se não bastasse, fizemos também o clássico Base Camp Everest partindo de Jiri e passando por Renjo La e Cho La, em 24 dias com o seu irmão Lako. O Nepal é um pais maravilhoso e a companhia de um guia como Sappa fez toda a diferença, pois ele nos explicou muito sobre a cultura local, religião, situação política/conflitos no pais e como funciona a sociedade no Nepal em geral. Ele fala muito bem inglês, é muito bem humorado e as risadas estão garantidas. Pra resumir, você começa a trilha com um guia e termina com um amigo. Recomendo-o sem hesitar. Se tiver perguntas pode me escrever.

I trekked with Sappa to EBC in 2007. We were introduced to him by three groups of friends who had each trekked with him before on the others’ recommendation. They were not wrong. Sappa ensured we were comfortable and from the moment we arrived in Nepal. Organising everything from transport to our hotel to making sure I’d all the gear needed for our trek. He even wanted to carry my pack! during the trek the high level of service continued. Sappa was knowledgeable and we felt confident in his ability at all times. He made the trip fun and was always making us laugh. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending my friend Sappa. I’m happy to be contacted if anyone wanted further information

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the best time for trekking in Nepal for US travelers?

The best seasons for trekking in Nepal are March to May and September to November. These pre- and post-monsoon windows offer clear skies, stable trails, and stunning Himalayan views — ideal for US travelers planning their trip. Spring brings rhododendron blooms across the trails, while autumn offers the sharpest mountain visibility. Most of our Nepal hiking trips and Nepal trekking packages are scheduled during these peak windows to ensure the best possible experience.

2. What is the highest base camp trek in Nepal?

The highest Nepal base camp destination is Everest Base Camp for trek, sitting at 5,364 meters (17,598 ft). It is the crown jewel of all treks in Nepal, offering jaw-dropping views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Khumbu Glacier. This is one of the world’s most iconic trekking achievements, and thousands of American adventurers complete it every year with our guided Nepal trekking packages.

3. Which base camp trek in Nepal is best for first-timers?

For first-time visitors, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the most recommended of all treks in Nepal. It offers diverse Himalayan landscapes, manageable altitude, and incredible views of the Annapurna massif — all in 7–10 days. The Everest Base Camp Trek is ideal for those wanting a bigger challenge and an iconic bucket-list experience. Both are available as fully guided Nepal trekking packages with Nepal Base Camp Treks, customized to your fitness level and schedule.

4. Which is more challenging — Everest Base Camp or Annapurna?

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the more challenging of the two. It reaches a higher altitude (5,364m vs 4,130m), involves more days of trekking, and requires more careful acclimatization. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is still a demanding and rewarding Himalayan adventure but has more stable weather and slightly lower elevation — making it a popular choice for first-time Nepal hiking trips. Both treks are fully supported by our experienced guides when you book trekking in Nepal with us.

5. How much do Nepal trekking packages cost?

Our Nepal trekking packages are competitively priced for international travelers, especially from the USA. The Everest Base Camp Trek starts from $1,160 per person for a 14-day guided trek. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek starts from $610 for an 8-day package. Costs vary based on group size, trek duration, accommodation standard, and added services. We also offer combined tours in Nepal that include Kathmandu heritage sightseeing alongside your mountain trek. All packages include guide, porter, permits, and accommodation — no hidden fees.

6. Can a beginner do the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Yes — beginners can absolutely complete the Everest Base Camp Trek with the right preparation. No technical climbing skills are required. The key is building cardio fitness beforehand, allowing proper acclimatization days on the trail, and trekking at a sustainable pace. Our guides have led hundreds of first-time trekkers on Nepal hiking trips to Everest Base Camp safely. Many of our US clients complete this trek as their very first major trekking experience and describe it as life-changing.

7. Do you provide trekking insurance for Nepal treks?

We do not include trekking insurance in our packages, but we strongly advise all trekkers to obtain comprehensive travel insurance before departure — especially those traveling from the USA. Your policy should cover high-altitude trekking, helicopter evacuation, medical expenses, and trip cancellation. As one of the most trusted Nepal trekking companies, we are happy to guide you on what to look for in a policy and recommend reputable insurers familiar with trekking in Nepal.

8. Can you help with trekking permits for Nepal?

Yes — permit handling is fully included in all our Nepal treks and tours. We manage everything: the TIMS card (Trekkers’ Information Management System), Sagarmatha National Park entry permits for the Everest region, and Annapurna Conservation Area permits. For US travelers, navigating Nepal’s permit system from abroad can be complex — our team handles all paperwork so you can focus on preparing for your trek. This is one of the key advantages of booking your tours in Nepal with a registered, experienced local agency.

9. Why choose Nepal Base Camp Treks over other Nepal trekking companies?

Nepal Base Camp Treks stands apart from other Nepal trekking companies for three reasons: local expertise, transparency, and personalized service. Our founder Sappa Lama has 20+ years of guiding experience across every major trekking region. We are ranked #400 of 2,869 tour operators in Kathmandu on TripAdvisor with 70+ five-star reviews — many from US travelers. Unlike large tour operators, we build every trek in Nepal around your pace, budget, and goals. From Nepal base camp expeditions to cultural tours in Nepal, you get a fully customized experience with a team that genuinely cares.
