Amadablam Base Camp Trek 0 Days

Four of us (3 trekkers from Malaysia, and one Dutch trekker from Netherlands), we went with Imperial Nepal Treks during our recent Annapurna Circuit Trek (October 2023). Previously, in October 2019, we first engaged this Nepali trekking company for our EBC trek. They offered a reasonably priced trek excursion package with experienced guides and porters, and as our earlier 2019 experience was positive, we chose them again.

This ACT trek took 11 days, but we stayed in Nepal for a total of 15 days. Arriving in Kathmandu, we stayed overnight in Thamel district. Next morning, we travelled westbound in 4-wheel drive for Chyamche. Took us almost 12 hours, instead of the usual 8 hours due to the extensive road works not far from Kathmandu. For this ACT trip, Imperial Nepal Treks provided us with a guide and two porters, who were knowledgeable and reliable. A winning combination.

In brief, our trek was from Chyamche to Dharapani (overnight) to Chame (overnight) to Lower Pisang (overnight) to Manang where we stayed for two nights to acclimatise (via the higher elevation route of Ghyaru and Ngawal; a longer trek of additional 3 hours, but we were rewarded with sighting of traditional Nepali houses and better vistas, from that higher elevation). From Manang, we trekked to Yak Kharta (overnight). Although, we had originally supposed to stay at Thorung Phedi, we didn't, as we were advised by Mr. Mani (our Guide) that it would be advantageous for us to push ahead to the high base camp (475m higher), so that we would have an easy ascent - steeper trek done the day earlier, due to its close proximity to Thorung La Pass. The highlight of ACT is Thorung La Pass, the highest mountain pass in the world, a nice accolade for us, the tired trekkers. From there, it was a sharp descent trek to Muktinath (overnight), and finally Jomsom (overnight). Took a van ride with other locals to Pokhara, where we chilled out for 2 days, before flying back to Kathmandu.

Accommodation and food are well arranged. The crew provided us with a wealth of mountaineering experience and shared a lot of happiness with us. Even if we are not experienced in hiking, they will take good care of us so that we can complete the hiking and enjoy the beautiful scenery and safety. Special thanks to Hari and his team. I recommended this trip to everyone who want to play in the mountains.

We went on the Annapurna Base camp hike with imperial nepal and with Hari as our guide. Before the trip, the company was very helpful and responded quick to our enquiries. Everything was arranged in detail.
On the trip, our guide Hari was very helpful and passionate. He and the team of guides and porters gave us a wonderful experience! Hari took care of us well and make sure the team is comfortable with the pace. We also got a chance to eat the local food there and be exposed to the Nepalese culture.
The weather was great and we got to see the sunrise at poonhill and sunset at ABC.
Highly recommend!

This is my first time to do trekking in Nepal and it was really an amazing trip! Mr Ram helped me to arrange all the things well before I arrived Nepal and responded to my questions quickly. During the trek, my guide, Rajan is very helpful and gave me a lot of encouragement to finish the trek. He briefed me all the details everyday so that I don't have nothing to worry. The spectacular scenery in Poon Hill and along the ABC trek is really impressive. Highly recommend Imperial Nepal and looking forward to do another trekking with this company in the future.

I was a solo traveler looking to do the trek with a group. I was able to join a family for the trek and had a wonderful time. The scenery of the trek was beautiful and the weather was amazing. The guide, Sujan, and all of the porters were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire trek. All of the meals throughout the duration of the trek were delicious and the acommodations at the tea houses were better than expected. I would highly recommend this tour and I can't wait to return to Nepal!

Our group of 9 did the 14 day Annapurna Base Camp. We had great response and service from Mr Ram since day one of inquiry regarding the trek. I could not recommend Mr Ram more highly for the quality of service he and his team have provided and also at a very reasonable price. The trek though bit challenging was the most beautiful and scenic trek one could ever see. We also had the perfect weather throughout. We were very fortunate to have Sujan as our guide. He displayed excellent qualities in leadership, patience , knowledge and good humour which made our trip extra special.All the porters were very friendly and humble and did amazing work throughout the trek with a smile. We got 3 great meals per day. We would highly recommend Imperial Nepal for trekking in Nepal. Could not fault their service at all.

Our trek to ABC was well very planned and organized by Ram Regmi from INT in Kathmandu. Our group size was ten. Ram provided two very skilled guides and porters for the duration of the trek. The accommodations in the tea houses along the trek route were comfortable. The food was good and filling. Our guides talked to us about the locals, the history and the terrain. The overall experience with Ram’s company was very good. Strongly recommend INT for treks in this region. Communications with Ram are prompt and issues if any quickly resolved.

Our trek to ABC was awesome. The scenery, majestic mountains, provincial villages, hot springs and bamboo sanctuary was amazing. We were a party of six and our guide Sujan and porters were all fantastic and expertly led us on our adventure. They all spoke English, were very friendly, and supportive, especially at times when I struggled. Playing cards, learning Nepalese and getting to know our team personally enhanced the whole experience. 
The staff at Imperial Nepal were excellent, well organised and professional from our first contact with Paras via the internet to our final departure from Kathmandu. We were well looked after and could adapt our plans as desired. We were treated to great meals and the best hotels at better prices than we could get on our own. I highly recommend Imperial Nepal and a big thank you to Paras, Sujan, Sudip, Prakash and Dipak for making our trek possible and for leaving us with incredible memories!!!
