Excellent Experience with Life Himalaya Trekking Excellent Experience with Life Himalaya Trekking – Highly Recommended! A big thank you to the entire team at Life Himalaya Trekking Pvt Ltd for organising such a wonderful experience for us. We arrived in Kathmandu on 12 October 2026 and completed our 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp. Everything was organised very well from start to finish, and the team looked after us throughout the journey. A special thank you to our guide, Birsha Rai, who communicated with us so well. His English was excellent and easy to understand. He was friendly, professional and very flexible, making sure we were comfortable along the way. Our two Sherpa porters were also incredibly kind and helpful. We also appreciated the warm welcome and the lovely farewell ceremony with lunch. It was a beautiful way to finish our adventure. Thank you to Shiba, the Managing Director, and the whole Life Himalaya team for making our Everest Base Camp trek such a memorable experience. We are from Australia and would happily recommend Life Himalaya Trekking to anyone planning an adventure in Nepal. You can book with confidence! Thank you again for everything! 🇦🇺🏔️

Stunning mountain views and adventurous trails This is our second time booking with Life Himalaya Trekking and we were nothing but happy with the entire experience. Our two week trip started with the meetup in Kathmandu and travelling to Lukla for the meeting of our guide Pramod and our Porter Lilaraj - everything was organized perfectly. From then on we were in great hands throughout our tour, always well taken care of and always looked after. Pramod was full of knowledge and insight of the area and the surrounding mountains. Lilaraj helped us with our bags and made the trip feel a little lighter for us. We are so thankful to both of them for supporting us on our trip - it would not have been as much fun and as comfortable without both of them! We really enjoyed the EBC trail as well - the weather was fantastic and the views of the mountains on this trail are phenomenal. But be prepared for quite a busy trail and definitely some exhausting parts along the way. But with the support of Pramod and Lilaraj, we made it to our goal to reach the EBC and we are very proud of the achievement. It would not have been possible without all the help from Life Himalaya Trekking - we cannot wait to come back for our next tour!

Big thanks to Life Himalaya Trekking for a wonderful EBC trek! We went recently on the EBC trek for 14 days with Life Himalaya Trekking - and everything was organized perfectly. From the communication ahead of the trip to the hike itself - we were well taken care of. Shiba, the head of the company, made sure our trip started and ended smoothly. Our guide Pramod was so kind and very well informed, we got the best possible information while trekking. Our porter Lilaraj supported us along the whole trek. We have nothing to complain about and we look forward to visiting beautiful Nepal again. And we look forward to our next tour with Life Himalaya Trekking!

An Incredible Trek with the Best Team! I completed the Manaslu Circuit with Saugat and Aunil, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! The trek was breathtaking, the organization was perfect, and the views were simply stunning. Saugat’s knowledge, professionalism, and expertise as a guide, together with Aunil’s help, kindness, and support as a porter, made the whole experience even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better team! I will definitely come back to Nepal, and I will choose this agency, Saugat, and Aunil again without hesitation. 10 stars for my new friends! Thank you both for making this adventure unforgettable!

Outstanding experience with Life Himalaya Trekking We have just returned from a 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp with Life Himalaya Trekking (plus 3 days in Katmandu). From start to finish, Shiba—the owner of this prestigious agency—delivered service that far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Birsha Rai, provided exceptional support throughout what is a very demanding trek. We were consistently impressed by the quality of his guidance, his attitude, and his services; we truly appreciated how fortunate we were to have his support every step of the way. The trek turned into an exceptional human experience. Louis L.

Mardi Himal Trek A life changing experience! Milan and Bhim were the best guide and porter for our very first trek in the Himalayas. Although the weather wasn’t always on our side, we got to see the most spectacular views, stayed in the best hotels/ camps and definitely got to tick off an item on the bucket list. Thank you Milan, for your wealth of knowledge and for guiding us safely through some rather wet and rainy conditions. We will definitely be back!

Dream EBC + exceptional visit to Kathmandu. Thanks to Life Himalaya Trekking, my husband and I were able to realize a dream. From the moment of organizing from Italy, Shiba proved to be extremely available and quick in communications. And, once here, we were able to immediately verify how efficient the entire team that makes up the company is. Shiba is infinitely sweet and friendly; he pampered us, guiding us through all the organizational aspects of our trip, from the trek to Everest Base Camp to cultural visits in Kathmandu and surroundings, covering all types of transportation we needed. Thanks to him, we had the pleasure of spending our time in Nepal with unique people, who allowed us to get to know this wonderful country and its inhabitants up close. Tika was our guide during the hike to EBC, and thanks to him and our porter Podam, we experienced a wonderful and authentic adventure! Both very knowledgeable, they were excellent at taking care of us, thanks to their attention to even the small things, the advice and information they provided us, but especially due to their friendliness, which allowed us to approach even the most difficult situations with ease. Tika is an exceptional entertainer and a great photographer; he was our family for more than a week, and we are very grateful to him. The entire experience of reaching Everest Base Camp was all-encompassing; it captivated us in every aspect, both scenic and human. It was exciting to reach the destination after a journey that lasted about a week. But it was equally incredible and moving to fly by helicopter from Gorak Shep to Lukla, retracing from above every step taken and every place experienced during the previous days. We would like to thank Promot, Raj, Rajan, and especially our exceptional tour guide Ajya, who accompanied us through the most iconic places in Kathmandu, sharing their history and every cultural aspect. The passion and love for one's work allowed us to immerse ourselves in a world that, otherwise, we would have understood and experienced only halfway. Thanks also to all the other members who contributed to the success of our trip. This is a goodbye; we look forward to returning to Nepal!
