Scenic & Cultural Tour

I have now hiked with Sappa and his company twice and honestly I can’t imagine Nepal without him. My friends and I often have short timeframes to organise these trips and the peace of mind just leaving everything with Sappa and knowing it will be perfectly arranged is priceless. From landing at the airport to hugs good-bye nothing was forgotten. Great trek choice, hotels, food, company and local information, we actually often found many other travellers coming to Sappa for help whenever they had issues. Pure professionalism and a wonderful person to boot!

I spent days chatting to Sappa as we wandered Nepal and he is always happy to give you as much or title information as you’d like. I learnt so much about the history, culture and future of the country.

As a final note, on my first trip to Nepal I became extremely sick whilst up on the mountain due to a personal slip-up regarding the water and I honestly am not sure what I would have done had Sappa not been there. Considering I was running a fever, could barely stand and had no way of helping myself, it could have ended badly. How he moved mountains to get me off the hill through a network of jeeps and small camps whilst at the same time organising my immediate admittance to a wonderful clinic in Pokhara I will never know. The fact that I was hiking back up the mountain with him in a few days was just shy of a miracle and I’m sure in almost anyone else care my trip would have been brought to a swift end.

Thankyou mate, we all care for you deeply.

Sappa managed for us almost all of our trip to Nepal – from historical tours of Kathmandu to trek around Manaslu. Everything was prepared very well and what we agreed on was always firm. Sappa is a very nice guy and we can recommend it to everyone.

I like the way they arranged us with high privacy and not to mix with other group as we are travelled in dual pax. They are very professional and experienced where they could arrange based on our need and capabilities. Personally quite like our tour guide, Mr Suraj Lama where he is really patient, trustable, friendly and down to earth person. Would definitely recommend them to our friend. Mayagarchu ❤️

Im Oktober 2018 habe ich mit einer Freundin Nepal besucht. Über Sappa haben wir ein unvergessliches 6-tägiges Trekking über Gorephani in der Annapurna-Region gebucht. Die Trekking-Tour und Etappen wurden nach unseren Wünschen zusammengestellt sowie alle Angelegenheiten die Registrierung in der Annapurna-Region und den Transfer vom Hotel in Pokhara betreffend von Sappa und seinem Team erledigt. Auf der Trekking-Tour begleitete uns ein hochprofessionelles und zuvorkommendes Team (Bergführer Shyam und Träger Aita). Shyam informierte uns immer genau über den Verlauf der Trekkingetappen sowie die Region, Berg- / Pflanzenwelt und Dorfbewohner etc..

Die Lodges/Zimmer und Verpflegung entsprachen, besonders im Vergleich zu Gruppenreisen von deutschen Anbietern einem gehobenen Standard. Wir hatten in den Teahouses z.B. fast immer ein eigenes Bad mit Dusche und WC und Granatapfel zum Nachtisch J. Abschließend wurden wir zu einem traditionellen Dal Bhat Essen und einem farewell dinner eingeladen.

Neben der beeindruckenden Trekking-tour organisierte uns Sappa einen Guide für eine Tageswanderung von Nargakot bis Changu Narayan. Für die Besichtigung des Kathmanduvalleys (Bhaktapur, Dhulikel, Panauti, Patan, Nargakot (Sunrise)) stand uns ein Fahrer zur Verfügung, der uns zuverlässig über Stock und Stein zu allen gewünschten Dörfern und Zielen fuhr. Dieser brachte uns letztendlich noch mit Zwischenstopps in Mankamana, Gorkha und 1 Übernachtung im bezaubernden Bergdörfchen Bandipur bis nach Pokhara. Auch unseren unvergesslichen und unbedingt empfehlenswerten Mount – Everest – Rundflug mit Transfer vom Hotel haben wir über Sappa gebucht.

Ich bin sehr dankbar für die tolle Organisation und die Freundlichkeit von Sappa und seinem Team und kann diese ohne Einschränkungen wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Warm wishes from cold Germany. Catrin

Amazing trip to Nepal! Best service, high professionalism and friendliness.

In October 2018, I visited Nepal with a friend. Over Sappa we booked an unforgettable 6-day trekking through Ghorepani in the Annapurna region. The trekking tour and stages were arranged according to our wishes and all matters concerning the registration in the Annapurna region and the transfer from the hotel in Pokhara regarding Sappa and his team were done. On the trekking tour we were accompanied by a highly professional and courteous team (mountain guide Shyam and porters Aita). Shyam always informed us exactly about the course of the trekking stages as well as the region, mountains / vegetation and villagers etc.

The lodges / rooms and catering corresponded to a high standard, especially in comparison to group travel from German providers. We had tea in the teahouses, for example. almost always a private bathroom with shower and toilet and pomegranate for dessert J. Finally, we were invited to a traditional Dal Bhat food and a farewell dinner.

In addition to the impressive trekking tour, Sappa organized a guide for a day hike from Nargakot to Changu Narayan. For the visit of the Kathmanduvalleys (Bhaktapur, Dhulikel, Panauti, Patan, Nargakot (Sunrise)) a driver was available, who reliably drove us over hill and dale to all desired villages and destinations. This brought us finally with stops in Mankamana, Gorkha and 1 night in the charming mountain village Bandipur to Pokhara. We also booked our unforgettable and absolutely recommendable Mount Everest sightseeing flight with transfer from the hotel via Sappa.

I am very grateful for the great organization and the friendliness of Sappa and his team and can warmly recommend them without any restrictions. Warm wishes from cold Germany.

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.
