Highly recommended Everest base camp 2026
Highly recommended for your next adventure! I completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with Nepal Lion Tours and Trekking, and I was extremely satisfied with the entire experience. Special thanks to Mr. Shiva (the owner), our guide Indra, and the porter team for their excellent support, kindness, and professionalism throughout the trek.
Everything was well organized, and the team made the journey safe, enjoyable, and memorable. If you are planning a trek in Nepal, Nepal Lion Tours and Trekking is a great choice — you will never regret it!

Highly recommend
Our second time in Nepal and our second time using Shiva and Nepal Lion Tours & Treks. This time we did the Three Passes and Shiva was fantastic at sorting our change in flights from Lukla when needed. We look forward to using his company again the next time we visit.

Everest Base Camp Trek
I had the opportunity to take part in an Everest Base Camp trek organized by Nepal Lion Tours and Treks Pvt. Ltd., and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life.
The care and support provided by the company at every stage of the trip truly stood out. From the very first contact, everything was handled smoothly and professionally—I received detailed information about preparation, equipment, and the trek itself. The team showed great flexibility and a personalized approach, which was extremely helpful.
The guide was absolutely fantastic—experienced, responsible, and highly dedicated. He took great care of the group’s safety, managed the pace היט היט היט of the trek, and supported us with acclimatization. He also shared interesting insights about the region, Nepalese culture, and the mountains, which added great value to the entire journey.
The trekking plan was very well thought out. Each day was carefully organized, with the right balance between hiking, rest, and acclimatization. This allowed us to avoid health issues and fully enjoy the experience. The route was designed to make the most of this incredible destination.
Communication with the company—both before departure and during the trek—was excellent. They responded quickly, provided full support, and gave us confidence that we could rely on them in any situation.
In summary, Nepal Lion Tours and Treks Pvt. Ltd. is a professional and trustworthy company that delivers excellent organization, safety, and unforgettable experiences. I highly recommend them to anyone dreaming of trekking in the Himalayas.

Base Camp Trek
🌟 Everest Base Camp Trek – Nepal is Safe to Travel 🌟
We (three friends) had an absolutely unforgettable journey to Mount Everest Base Camp with Nepal Lion Tours and Treks. Everything was seamlessly arranged from start to finish – from the airport pick-up to our final evening in Kathmandu. The company even provided us with excellent health monitoring devices, which gave us extra confidence and supported our vital functions throughout the trek. We booked directly through the official Nepal Lion Tours and Treks website, which offered the best price with clear and reliable terms and conditions.
Our guide Binod was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also warm, caring, and attentive. He shared fascinating stories about the culture, the people, and the Himalayas, and always made sure we felt safe and comfortable. We also want to highlight that Nepal is a very safe country to visit right now.
The porter team was wonderful – always cheerful, supportive, and hardworking. What impressed us most was the personalized care: our requests were handled with flexibility, breaks were adjusted to our pace, and we never felt like “just another group.”
We can wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Lion Tours and Treks to anyone planning a trekking adventure in Nepal. Thank you for giving us such a unique experience – we will definitely be back! 🙏❤️

A well organized and safe adventure
We (3 friends)
have made the Everest Base Trek.
Due to bad weather, we drove the jeep on the way out instead of by plane. The organization was taken care of very well, it was a real adventure.
Our guide Binod was always with us and took care of everything: Food, drink, accommodation, transfer.
He always assessed the weather very well, so we were always on the road with the best weather at the times of day. At Basecamp we were even all alone in bright sunshine.
On the way back we hurried a bit at our request because we wanted one more day in Kathmandu. The guide and porters have supported our plan very well. In the end we are in 48h from the base camp back to the airport to Lukla, where we also got a flight reactively due to our guide Binod. We landed in Kathmandu safely, happily and with unforgettable experiences and pictures.
Thank you!

Fantastic
We made an unforgettable trek to Mount Everest Base Camp with Nepal Lion Tours and Treks. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish – from airport pickup to last night in Kathmandu.
Our guide Binod was not only very experienced and professional, but also incredibly warm and attentive. He told us a lot about the country, people and the mountains and always made sure we felt safe and comfortable. The support team was also great – always friendly, helpful and motivated.
I would particularly like to highlight the personal support: Wishes were flexibly accommodated, breaks were adapted to our speed, and you never felt like you were “just one group among many”.
We can highly recommend Nepal Lion Tours and Treks to anyone planning a trekking tour in Nepal. Thank you for this unique experience – we will definitely be back! 🙏🇳🇵

Excellent Experience
I must confess that I was unaware of the opportunity of guided treks to Everest Base Camp until a friend mentioned that he had successfully in May 2023 completed the trek with Nepal Lion Tours. Everest Base Camp was never on my Bucket List, but the opportunity of this once-in-a-lifetime experience intrigued me and I decided to give it a go. I did not shop around the various companies who offer the opportunity, but decide to rely on my friends recommendation of Nepal Lion Tours and signed up with them for November. This proved to be the right decision, as the whole trip was professionally organised to perfection by them.
Upon arrival at Kathmandu Airport I was greeted and welcomed by Nepal Lion Tours` charming proprietor, Shiva. He accompanied me to my hotel and, later in his office, over a cup of chai, briefed me on the details of the tour and entrusted to me a sleeping bag and duffel bag (I already had my own down jacket with me).
Next day, upon arrival at Lukla, the gateway to the Everest Base Camp trail, I was greeted by my intrepid guide, Indra, and my young porter. Indra, a remarkable and charming man, took excellent care of me throughout my tour organising simply everything and explaining things along the way.
Unfortunately, halfway through the first day of the trek I experienced, with each step, pain in my knee which got worse with each day and at the end of day six was too painful to continue, so, sadly, I had to abandon my adventure. Notwithstanding the inconvenience caused by my abrupt decision not to continue, Shiva and Indra were understanding and absolutely marvellous. At short notice they reorganised everything (a helicopter for next day to take me back to Lukla, overnight accommodation there and the flight back to Kathmandu). Shiva also organised the booking for the earlier return to my hotel in Kathmandu. Whilst back in Kathmandu, Shiva, also kindly organised for me a very interesting sightseeing tour of Kathmandu.
Should you be thinking about an unforgettable hiking tour in Nepal, I can recommend without reservation, NEPAL LION TOURS & TREK P. LTD. They are extremely professional and impeccably well-organised. Nothing is too much trouble and with Shiva and his team you are in exceptionally good hands.

To sum up, It’s a lifetime experience for us to touch this feat and the memories will be cherished throughout our life.
It was 14.11.24, we reached the Everest Base Camp, a dream come true. The beauty of the trail is just jaw dropping and the captivating landscapes around is a sight to behold. The rigours of the trek is always rewarded by mind blowing panoramic sceneries which always gives impetus to keep going. After the summit one just becomes euphoric. The ecstatic feelings sometimes turn melancholic to see the memorials of many who gave up their lives in the mountains unfortunately in pursuit of their adventurous dreams
The entire journey is mesmerizing and gives us countless memories to cherish life long.
I am much thankful to Nepal Lion Tours & Treks Pvt Ltd for making our endeavour a grand success. We were provided with comfortable & hygienic accommodations with good food throughout the trek, as assured by Nepal Lions. Our guide was a nice guy as well the porters who were all arranged by our trek operator.
We are specially thankful to Mr Shiva, proprietor of Nepal Lions Tours & Treks who rendered his kind support by providing us a heli service due to an exigency during our descend. We didn't had a travel insurance, Mr Shiva arranged a helicopter at the earliest without even taking any advance money for such emergency service.
We express our deep gratitude to him for all he had done for us whenever we faced any odds in our trip.
God bless him and all the best to Nepal Lions Treks & Tours.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Everest Base Camp trek
Review of Nepali Lion Tours and Treks
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Nepali Lion Tours and Treks during our Everest Base Camp trek. From the very beginning, Shiva, the owner, was extremely helpful and accommodating. He ensured all the details of our trip were perfectly organized, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. His professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction stood out, giving us confidence even before we began our adventure.
A special mention goes to our guide, Dilli, who played an instrumental role in making our trek successful. His knowledge of the trails, attention to detail, and constant encouragement kept us motivated and on track throughout the journey. Dilli's genuine care for our well-being, whether it was helping us acclimatize, pacing ourselves, or simply sharing fascinating stories about the region, made the trek even more memorable.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Shiva and Dilli, we were able to achieve our dream of reaching Everest Base Camp. If you're planning to take on this adventure, we highly recommend Nepali Lion Tours and Treks for their outstanding service and expertise. It’s a decision you won’t regret!
