“Unforgettable Trek to Everest Base Camp Trekking to Everest Base Camp was an incredible and unforgettable experience. Each stage of the journey was well-organized, with beautiful scenery and just the right amount of challenge. Our guide made a big difference—he was cheerful, supportive, and always motivating us. His encouragement inspired us to make the tough climb to Kala Patthar, where we witnessed an unforgettable sunrise over Everest. That moment alone made the entire journey worthwhile. If you're thinking about doing the EBC trek, I highly recommend it. With the right team and mindset, it’s an adventure you’ll never forget.”

“We are incredibly grateful to Dinesh Bhai for making our Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar trek a truly unforgettable and successful experience. From the very beginning, his dedication, planning, and constant support ensured that every aspect of our journey was smooth, safe, and memorable. Dinesh Bhai’s deep knowledge of the region, his calm demeanor, and his ability to handle every challenge with a smile gave us the confidence and motivation to push through the tough moments. His passion for the mountains and genuine care for our well-being were evident in every step of the journey. Thanks to his leadership and encouragement, we not only reached EBC but also successfully summited Kala Patt”

“It wasn’t an easy trek, but our guide Dinesh took good care of us and helped us in every way possible & Himalayan social journey made it safe and worth while for us. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Anticipating more such treks in Nepal with Himalayan social journey. Thank you guys for hosting us.”

“This was an amazing trip. Himalayan Social Journey was an excellent company that took care of us from the minute we left the airport until we returned three weeks later. Our guide, Indra, was incredible and made an already excellent experience even better with his encyclopedic knowledge of the area and his genuine excitement to share his country with us. The beautiful views never stopped with some of the highlights being Gokyo Lake, the panoramic views from Dzongla, hiking across multiple glaciers, and of course reaching Everest Base Camp. I can not recommend this tour and this company enough.”

“Great experience! The tour company was easy to communicate with leading up to the trip. Our driver was on-time and friendly. The check-in process for the flight was quick and easy, and the boarding process was smooth! The views were incredible! The Himalayan Mountains are breath taking! I would definitely recommend this trip to others!”

“The experience of seeing the temples is amazing. It’s like connecting with the essence of the major religions that shape Eastern culture. The tour guide Hemraj was amazing, has a very in-depth knowledge about everything.”

“The Kailash-Manasarovar trip was never on our bucket list because my husband and I knew this to be an intense trip and never thought of this as something we could do. The idea was planted in my head by a dear friend who had been on an Everest Base Camp trip organized by Himalayan Social Journey (HSJ) and her enthusiasm inspired me. She had such a great experience on the EBC trip that she chose HSJ again for this trip, which I would say is the ultimate adventurous pilgrimage. There were so many unexpected twists and turns with sudden changes in Chinese visa processing timeframes , bridge collapse and landslides, but HSJ was very resourceful, handled it all with professionalism and care, ensur”

“Dinesh was wonderful and made adjustments to the trekking plan as needed which made the experience more enjoyable. Trekking during the monsoon season was not recommended due to rain, shops being closed and limited food/ accommodation options but i thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet, no crowds, no waiting for bathrooms or restaurant tables, and plenty of time to soak in the incredible scenery without feeling rushed. While communication could sometimes be a bit tricky due to language barriers, I knew I was in good hands as Dinesh clearly knew the route well and was committed to making sure I had a memorable journey.”

“Easy flight, everyone gets a window seat and it doesn't matter which side you are on because the plane does a fly past both ways. On the left hand side, you get the first view. I went in the monsoon season so a lot of cloud but the mountains are above the cloud cover. It would be better later in the year when the monsoon stops, but it is still very worthwhile.”

“Initially I booked a single tour with Himalayan Social Journey but they reached out and offered to build an all-inclusive itinerary for my 11-day trip to Nepal. I am really glad I opted for it as they took care of everything from recommending and organizing the best tours, booking hotels, arranging transfers and even taking care of last minute, special requests like arranging a sound bath session for me. I visited Kathmandu, Chitwan, Pokhara and Nagarkot, and also took the scenic flight to Mount Everest. Highly recommend them for getting the best experience of Nepal. Very proactive, responsive, hospitable and dependable. See all 10 photos”

“Our group of four had an absolutely fantastic time with Santosh as our guide. We felt safe and supported throughout the trek, and enjoyed his company and jokes. Santosh is definitely an expert on EBC - I really felt like we were in good hands. The altitude and glacier cold is no joke, and you definitely want someone guiding you that can not just help, but make you feel excited and proud to be there. Gorgeous scenery throughout the trek (even when cloudy!), and a real sense of pride at completing it.”

“Just finished the EBC trek with Santosh as our guide, and he was absolutely outstanding. His expertise and calm presence made our entire group feel fully supported and safe throughout the journey, which really eased any stress. I had been quite nervous about the altitude, but thanks to his knowledge and careful guidance, our entire group reached EBC with 100% success. Along the way, he shared fascinating insights about the region and its culture, making the trek even more meaningful. We ended the trip with a huge sense of pride, knowing we had accomplished something truly challenging.”

“In October 2025, we had been on an adventure that we will never forget. We did a trekking to Everest Base Camp. Stunning landscapes, physical challenges, and moments of joy in the Himalayas made this journey truly extraordinary. But what really turned this trek into a once-in-a-lifetime experience was our amazing guide, Dinesh Malla. Right from beginning, Dinesh went above and beyond to make our trek as enjoyable and smooth as possible. His kindness, humor, and warm personality lifted our spirits even during the most exhausting moments. Every step of the way, he showed deep care, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does. One of the things we appreciated most: Dinesh always broug”

“This was my first time trekking in Nepal and it was just incredibly amazing. Breathtaking views, grueling hikes and brutal weather, but so much fun and companionship- -words fail me. This experience pushed me beyond all my limits I have ever known. That being said, I would give all the credit to our amazing guide Dinesh Malla. Amazingly responsible, competent, dependable, very professional, thorough, always attending to our comfort and safety. Traveling as a single woman, safety was of utter importance to me on and off the trail, and this was always well taken care of. In addition, Dinesh has amazing local connections and with his friendly personality, he helped secure the best available ame”

“We did the 14 days Nepal budget tour and we could not be more happy with our choice. In only 2 weeks we visited Kathmandu, Chitwan national park, Pokhara and did a 5 day trek in the Annapurna region. The organization was flawless (like a swiss clock). We felt safe and welcomed in every place. Our guides Harka (Chitwan) and Ganesh (Pokhara and trek) + Bishal (our porter) did an outstanding job. We recommend them and the whole trip 100%. It was much better than we could have imagined. In the end, we recommand everyone to visit the beautiful places from Nepal and meet its warm and welcoming people.”

“We were picked up on time, provided with a packed breakfast and got to the airport quickly. We were directed to the right place, boarded the plane efficiently. The views were unbelievable and the air crew pointed out all the peaks. They were charming. We were collected by our taxi without problems. An amazing experience, one I’d definitely repeat.”
