Everest Trekking Off the Beaten Path Wellness Tour

"First time travelled to Nepal and organized by Raj of Responsible Adventures from 21st to 26th March 2019. The arrangement ( itinerary) went smoothly. We managed to have 2 days of weekend Golf games at Gokarna Forest Resort. We managed to visit most of the places of interest in Kathmandu. Stayed at Gokarna Forest Resort and Kathmandu Guest Hotel. Will stay again for my next visit. All thanks to Raj, our wonderful guide."

The whole experience was amazing. Everything went through without issue. All of our interactions with the company were super convenient and I felt very prepared with all the information provided beforehand. Chandra was our guide. He was very helpful and attentive to all of us! He was also very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. Our porters were Sundar and Hasta. They were also very kind and lovely. The hotels we stayed at were very clean! The entire experience was super wonderful. I would do it all over again. I would also recommend going through Responsible Adventures to anyone who would like to trek to base camp.

Spending time in Kathmandu and trekking to Everest Base Camp with Responsible Adventures was one of the best experiences of my life. Raj and Chandra are the most knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating individuals I've ever met abroad. If you decide to trek with Responsible Adventures, you'll be amazed at how much you learn about Nepal, from the history and major landmarks to the flora and fauna of the country to the workings of the small villages you'll pass through. The guides are kind and laid-back while making sure you have everything you need/want, and really do make you feel at home. I can't say enough good things about Raj and his crew.

Raj arranged a fantastic trip for us looking after every detail including providing meals on trek tailored to our needs. I have known Raj for many years, he is reliable, friendly, well established in travel industry, he speaks excellent English and is a mine of information, I highly recommend both him and his team.

"With Raj, You will enjoy your time in Nepal. Why? Because he listens to your needs, and he knows, loves, and respects his country. With Responsible Adventures, you travel responsibly"

I travel to Nepal every year and have used other companies in the past, but Responsible Adventures outshines them all, a truly professional company and Raj and his team take care of every detail for a truly memorable experience 10 out of 10.

" have known Raj (now of Responsible Adventures) for many years and always had him organize my Nepal treks. Raj has years of experience, knows all the correct people to contact for quick responses to planning and permits (sometimes very difficult in Kathmandu), has an impeccable command of the English language, extremely knowledgeable in the areas that I have trekked in, and interacts as a friend rather than just a trek leader. I have had many amazing experiences with Raj at the same time feeling safe and secure. He really is a fun guy but also the utmost professional approach. I will be back Raj."

We trekked twice with Raj at responsible adventures. The first time to Annapurna base camp and the whole trek was made special by him and his team. His English is fluent, and we soon were chatting as friends, nothing was too much trouble. The preparation for the trip was well handled, and it was reassuring that Raj was very responsible around safety and matters to do with altitude. He clearly looked after his staff, which again made the whole trip relaxed. En route Raj and his team would cook special meals. They always seemed to judge the timing of this to perfection, when we were tiring and needing a lift. Each morning was started with a cup of real coffee. Little luxuries like this do make the whole experience that little bit more special. When we returned to Nepal, to trek to Everest Base Camp there was no hesitation in choosing Responsible adventures. This trip was equally as good as the first and again Raj displayed the same professionalism. We actually trekked during the monsoon period when the tea houses and the paths are much quieter. Views of Everest were still stunning. However, at the end of the trip, we became stuck at Lukla due to fog. Raj again stepped in and ensured that we got back to Kathmandu safely and as quickly as possible. You do pay a little more than you would with other trekking companies but the quality of the whole experience was worth every penny!

"Everything was well organized from the time we arrived at the airport in Kathmandu to when we were dropped back off 9 days later. We gave them an idea of what we liked to see and do, and they created a perfect itinerary for us. Due to weather, our internal flight to Pokhara was cancelled, but Raj was able to quickly arrange a private driver so that we only missed 1 day, instead of possibly 2 days trekking. I also have a gluten intolerance, and they made sure I had alternative things to eat when it was a gluten meal. The morning health tea delivered to our room was tasty, and so was the fresh ground organic coffee every breakfast! We would definitely recommend Raj and Responsible Adventures! I am also talking with my school staff about a possible school trip to Nepal."

Raj and his superbly run Responsible Adventures is my go-to when I do guided treks in Nepal, and when my friends ask for recommendations for trekking agencies. My experiences with Responsible Adventures have always been excellent - knowledgeable and accommodating guides who are experienced with regard to safety and the terrain that they lead clients through. Look out also for the special treats available on every trek. All in all highly recommended!
