In November 2016 we did a 12-day private trekking tour of the Khumbu area with Dolpa Treks. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime and we cannot say enough good things about our trip.

In the beginning, I had a lot of questions about finding an appropriate itinerary that would fit in our timeframe. But Deepak, the company’s CEO, made things very easy. He promptly and enthusiastically responded to my flood of email questions, providing lots of advice and guidance, until we settled on our final plans. Once we arrived in Nepal Deepak saw to it that every aspect of our trip went smoothly. We were genuinely impressed by his diligence and thorough preparation. Every last detail had been thought out, every contingency planned for. During our trek Deepak kept in regular contact with our guide and even kept tabs on the weather forecast to make sure we would have as safe and enjoyable a trip as possible.

Our guide, Thiren, was nothing short of amazing. He was the best guide you could hope for –not just experienced and knowledgeable, but also the sweetest, most humble guy you will ever meet. Our safety and comfort were always his primary concern; Thiren never did anything for himself until our needs were taken care of first. Our porters, Purba and Tendu, were fantastic too. Without their help and hard work there is no way we could have completed the trek. We really enjoyed their company, and their lightheartedness and sense of humor kept us entertained. As our trip came to an end it was hard to say good-bye to our new friends.

I would recommend Dolpa Treks without reservation. If and when we return to Nepal we will definitely use them again. We only wish Nepal were not so far away, so we could go again sooner!
