Excellent organization and great guide

From the beginning of the email exchanges, Karna is very responsive and answers our questions clearly and quickly. Our Pratap guide was very professional, rigorous, always with a smile, to reassure and encourage us. A lover of his profession to make us discover this trek. Thank you Pratap

Brilliant EBC Trek

Dealing with Karna and his company was incredibly easy and made this one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. His attention to detail, his quick responses made us feel confident that our trek will be well organised…and it was! Our guide and porters were fantastic, and it really was the trio of a lifetime. I’m looking forward to doing more walks in Nepal and I will not hesitate to contact Karna and Nepal Mother House Treks again.

Operator response

Dear Geoff, Namaste, and thank you so much for your lovely review of your Everest Base Camp Trek with Nepal Mother House Treks. We are happy to hear that your trip was one of the nicest holidays you have ever had. That means a lot to our entire staff. We are very pleased you enjoyed the planning and communication before the journey. We always feel that a successful Himalayan journey begins with trust, clear information, and deliberate planning; therefore, it is really pleasant to hear that our attention to detail and quick responses allowed you to feel confident from the start. We appreciate your compliments for Sameer Thapa Magar and our porters, Bijaya Kumar Tamang and Bir Bahadur Tamang. With Sameer’s expertise, gentle guidance, and local knowledge, plus the strength and devotion of Bijaya and Bir Bahadur, a challenging high-altitude trip becomes a comfortable, safe, and deeply satisfying one. We are glad that they helped to make your Everest Base Camp trek absolutely memorable. The trek to Everest Base Camp is a life experience, not just a destination, taking in stunning Himalayan vistas, Sherpa culture, mountain hospitality, and personal success. We hope that every trekker goes home feeling that it was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Thank you again for trusting Nepal Mother House Treks and for saying to come back to walk with us again. That's one of the biggest compliments we could have. If the mountains call you back, to Annapurna, Manaslu, Langtang, or another undiscovered Himalayan route, it would be our honour to welcome you back. With kindest regards, The Karna Rana & Nepal Mother House Treks Family

Had a very nice trekking

It was a very good and nice trek, we had Sameer as a guide who speaks very good English and is very nice to deal with! He could tell us a lot about the mountains and other things! Overnight stay well arranged. Food everywhere delicious!

Operator response

Dear Corina, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely feedback about your Everest Base Camp Trek with us. We are truly delighted to hear that your journey was excellent, enjoyable, and filled with positive experiences from start to finish. It makes us especially happy to know that your guide, Sameer, helped make your trek memorable. He is not only fluent in English but also deeply knowledgeable about the mountains, Sherpa culture, and the unique stories of the Khumbu region. We are glad that his guidance, explanations, and warm nature added so much value to your adventure. Your kind words about the accommodations and delicious food along the trail truly mean a lot to us. From your flight to Lukla and the gentle walk to Phakding, to the bustling energy of Namche Bazaar, the breathtaking views from Everest View Hotel, the spiritual peace of Tyangboche, the high-altitude beauty of Dingboche, and the rewarding climb to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and Kala Patthar (5,550m)—every stop along the EBC trek is crafted to balance comfort, acclimatization, and unforgettable Himalayan scenery. We are delighted that everything—from your overnight stays to your meals—felt well arranged and satisfying throughout this classic 12-day journey. Your satisfaction is our greatest reward, and your review provides future trekkers with confidence and knowledge when selecting Nepal Mother House for their Himalayan adventure. We truly appreciate your trust in us and your kind recommendation. We would be honored to welcome you back to Nepal again—whether for another trek in Everest, the Annapurna region, Manaslu, Langtang, or one of Nepal’s many hidden gems. Warmest regards, Karna & The Nepal Mother House Treks Family

amazing guide - Mr Pratap

At first, you might misjudge Mr. Pratap because he doesn’t talk much when you first meet him. But as the trek goes on, you’ll quickly realize he’s one of the kindest, most patient, and genuinely friendly guides you could ask for. His deep experience and knowledge of the Everest Base Camp trail are truly impressive. He always knew the best routes, kept the group safe, and shared helpful information along the way. His calm and supportive presence made a big difference, especially on the tougher days of the trek. Having someone like Mr. Pratap as my guide turned this once-in-a-lifetime journey into something even more special.

Operator response

Dear Aung M, Hello! Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful note. We appreciate it. We're so glad to hear that you had such a wonderful time on the Everest Base Camp Trek with Cho La Pass. We were thrilled to hear you say such things about Mr. Pratap. At first, he is a quiet person, but as you said so well, his kindness, patience, and thorough knowledge of the trail come through as the journey goes on. We are really lucky to have him as a member of the Nepal Mother House family. We were pleased to help you and your great group from Thailand. The best thing we could ask for is to know that we helped make this once-in-a-lifetime trip even more spectacular. We'd love to have you back in Nepal for another great trip. Best wishes, Karna Rana

Excellent guide have us a fantastic overall experience

Excellent trip with our guide Jayaram. We got really lucky with the weather, both in terms of the flight to Lukla but also on our trek itself. Jayaram was very talkative, pointing out the various hills and checking our blood oxygen level each day. He was also really good with us on base camp day where we ended up walking back to Loboche instead of staying in Gorak Shep. Would highly recommend Jayaram and Nepal Mother House for trekking adventures.

Operator response

Dear Ellis, Namaste! We appreciate your nice comments and sharing of your experience with us. It makes us very happy to learn that your trip to Everest Base Camp with Jayaram was outstanding. It's fantastic that you could enjoy beautiful weather and that Jayaram's direction, knowledge, and encouragement made your trip especially unforgettable. We value your choice of Nepal Mother House for your trip; your advice means a lot to us. We want to welcome you once more for another amazing Himalayan journey! Best Regards, Karna Rana; Mother House of Nepal

Big Walk, great views.

Amazing experience. At the start of the trip we lost a few days waiting on the weather in Lukla (heavy cloud grounding flights) Our guide Kul managed to make up the time, we walked longer days and did acclimatisation hikes when we arrived at the end of each day. We made it to EBC on schedule and managed to make our flight out of Lukla as well, amazing work Kul! Obviously the landscapes are amazing, every day you are walking through surreally beautiful mountain landscapes. The temperature and kind of environment changes a lot from the start to the end of the hike. Initially you walk through lush and shaded pine forests which give way to alpine deserts and finally rocky mountainsides. The accommodation covers your basic needs and we rented sleeping bags from Nepal Motherhouse which was definitely something worth doing, especially on the colder nights. The whole experience was as smooth and easy as walking to Everest Base Camp can be. Would recommend!

Dear Sam Namaste, Thank you for your valuable time, excellent Trip Advisor review of Nepal Mother House, Guide Kul Prasad Gurung, and the full team's Memorable Everest Base Camp Trek experience. This won't be only sharing your experience but also an inspiration to the other trekkers to visit the lap of the top of the world "Mt, Everest 8,848.86m" I am certain that it will benefit our whole team in the coming days. It is my pleasure to plan your vacation. I believe you returned home safely after a long travel from Nepal. Thank you so much for your kind cooperation; your invaluable assistance will steer us in the proper direction. Again, thank you so much for your assistance. Yours truly  Karna Rana

A great guiding service for treks and learning about Nepalese culture

My fiance and I did the Everest Base Camp Trek with our guide, Jayram. We had an amazing trip and, from start to finish, Nepal Mother House and our guide did a fantastic job. We felt safe and knew there was always a plan in place in case something went wrong. Our guide brought extra snacks, spotted wildlife, kept us on track, planned plenty of breaks, and communicated with locals on our behalf whenever necessary. He taught us so much about the local culture and provided amazing service from the moment we landed in Kathmandu until we left almost 2 weeks later. Ask for Jayram if you can and do not hesitate to book with this service. We summited a big peak and got to EBC, two highlights among many. Thank you!

Operator response
