This tour is designed for people who would like to embark on a fun-filled trekking holiday that focuses on enjoyment and relaxation rather than strenuous walking.

Beautiful experiences in Nepal

26-Mar-2021

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.

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.

Safe and informative treks.

26-Mar-2021

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!

2 amazing treks

26-Mar-2021

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!
