Traveller's Review
Incredible experience
I recently went on an incredible trek to Nepal with Nepal Visuals, and the experience was outstanding. The team took care of every detail, making the trip smooth and stress-free. A highlight was the unforgettable birthday celebration they organized for my husband at Everest Base Camp—such a thoughtful and magical touch! Our guide Prakash and helper Kiran were amazing, ensuring we felt safe, supported, and enriched by the local culture throughout the journey. I highly recommend Nepal Visuals for anyone seeking a personalized and unforgettable adventure in Nepal.
EBC Trek, November 2024
In November 2024, I had the opportunity to make use of Nepal Visuals to plan a trek to Everest Base Camp. Communication was great with the planning, accommodation, itinerary and trek information before I left. When I arrived I was met by the team in Kathmandu and they really did a great job in looking after me, including a welcome dinner and briefing session. They had everything arranged, including the flights to Lukla and back, as well as a really experienced, English speaking guide and a friendly capable porter. The trek went without a hitch, teahouse accommodation and 3 meals a day were provided. There seem to be hundreds of trekking and expedition companies in Nepal, however, I would be careful to do your research and make sure you choose a experienced company like Nepal Visuals. I will definitely be back to do another trek soon and would have no hesitation to make use of them again. Thank you Nepal Visuals for the fun, memorable experience.
