Hard Trek, Beautiful Reward in Everest

I finished the Everest Base Camp trek and flew out by helicopter, all arranged by CoreTreks. This was more than a dream trip it was something I’ll never forget. Everything went smoothly from booking to the last day. The team at CoreTreks was very helpful and always gave clear info. The trek was tough, but the mountain views were so beautiful that I didn’t mind the effort. Our Sherpa guides were kind and smart. They really cared about our safety and comfort the whole time. The helicopter ride at the end was a big highlight. Flying over the Himalayas gave a whole new view of the place. CoreTreks made this whole journey possible, and I’d tell anyone to choose them if they’re going to Everest. They’re professional and really care.

I would give CoreTreks 4 stars. The team was great and really helped make my Everest Base Camp trek a good one. They were friendly and supportive the whole time. One small thing, there was supposed to be Wi-Fi in Namche Bazaar, but it didn’t work well. Still, the rest of the trip was smooth and well-organized.

 Verified Langtang Valley Trek Adventure
In April 2026 we went trekking in the Langtang Valley and towards Yala peak with Core Trek Pvt Ltd. The trek was very well thought out and organised. We were new to trekking and walking at altitude and the planning of transfers, days, walking distances and altitudes was well designed by Coretreks staff. After arriving and spending one night in Kathmandu we departed on a private jeep trip to Syabrubesi. We were accompanied by Trekking Guide Dibash Pudasaini and Porter Pukar Bhatta, two very friendly Nepalese with good English. From Syabrubesi we walked in three days up the Langtang Valley to Kyanjin Gompa, with overnights in Lama Hotel and Langtang Village. On the next two acclimatisation days we walked to Kyanjin Ri and upstream along the Langtang River through the glacial outwash plains towards the direction of Langshiska Kharka. The following day we went with the mountain guide Jhandu Lama and Dibash to the Yala Base Camp, where we hit snow on the last 500m before the small base hut. We crawled into the sleeping backs early, then got up at 2:30 am for an alpine start to the day and went with crampons and headlights uphill on the frozen snow surface. Our pace got slower and slower until we reached the flat area on ice 120m below Yala peak around 7:30 am. The view now opened towards the east and was amazing. At this altitude of 5400m we had reached our limit of breathing enough air in and decided to descend. No altitude sickness. We stopped on the way down briefly at the basecamp and then continued down to Kyanjin Gompa. Next day we did a long downhill walk to Lama Hotel, then a half day walk to Syabrubesi where the private jeep waited to bring us back to Kathmandu. On the trek we saw wild monkeys, deer, tahr, eagles, lammergeier and many other birds. Time in Kathmandu was spend sightseeing, shopping and relaxing with nice food and beverages. Our guides from Coretreks brought us out to a fantastic dinner with great Nepalese food and traditional dancing. We can highly recommend Coretreks and their guides for trekking and peak climbing, they are very knowledgeable about trekking, geography and wildlife. They are friendly and communicate well which is important on treks that can get exhausting and tiring at times. The nice hotels, teahouses, food, supplies, sightseeing, jeeps and airport taxis were well organised by Coretreks and gave us a unique experience in Nepal.

 Verified More than a trek – My Annapurna Circuit Experience
The "Annapurna Circuit Trek including Tilicho Lake" journey was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The 15-day tour starting and ending in Kathmandu was definitely challenging — many steep ascents in a short amount of time, icy sections, and the thin air at high altitude push you physically and mentally. At the same time, every single day rewards you with unforgettable impressions and breathtaking scenery. I especially want to highlight the outstanding organization by CoreTrek. Even before the trek started, communication was excellent. Individual requests were handled quickly, flexibly, and in a very solution-oriented way. I always felt honestly advised about what was realistic and what was not, which created a lot of trust from the beginning. On the trek itself, my guide Aga Kami and my porter Sudip were absolutely fantastic. Both were incredibly friendly, supportive, experienced, and attentive throughout the entire journey. In such demanding conditions at high altitude, having people like them around gives you a huge sense of confidence and security. Aga Kami guided the route perfectly, always knew how to adapt the pace to the situation, and shared his experience in a calm and professional way. Sudip also did an amazing job and made every day more enjoyable with his positive attitude and constant support. The trek would not have been the same without them. The absolute highlight was crossing the Thorong La Pass. It is one of those moments that feels surreal — a combination of exhaustion, pride, and overwhelming beauty that is difficult to describe in words. In general, the scenery throughout the trek was simply spectacular. I was there in November and had perfect weather the entire time: deep blue skies, crystal-clear visibility, sunshine, and only light winds. This season is ideal for the Annapurna region because the air is dry and stable, creating stunning panoramic views of snow-covered Himalayan peaks almost every day. Another big surprise was the food and accommodation situation. Even in remote mountain villages, the variety and quality of the food were far better than I expected. I was also surprised by how widely available internet access was throughout the trek. Of course, the lodges become more basic and rustic the higher you go, but considering the environment and altitude, they were still surprisingly comfortable. Honestly, there was nothing during the trek that really disappointed or bothered me. Looking back, what remains most is the feeling afterward: pride, gratitude, and inner peace. Some experiences take weeks or even months to fully process and appreciate. For me, this trek was not only a physical adventure but also a mental reset. I was able to completely disconnect, clear my mind, and reconnect with myself. I would highly recommend this trek to adventurous and physically active travelers looking for an authentic, challenging, and deeply rewarding experience.

 Verified THANK YOU CORETREKS !
When it comes to chose a trekking compagny, it's a roll of dice. Choosing Coretreks was such a blessing! Human oriented compagny! They gave me different trek options and I was glad because I ended going for something different than my first idea was and I am so happy with it. The prices are good too. I decided to go with Everest Base Camp, Island Peak and Ama Dablam summits for a total of around 1 month trip. I felt very safe with the trek and climbing guide and had fast answer from owners when I had questions. Honestly, everything was better than expected, I recommand Coretreks to everyone! I will come back FOR SURE! They make your dreams come true, don't wait!🙏🏼

 Verified Randonnée Népal
Amazing experience! I did the mardi himal trek and it was absolutly stunning. Nim, the founder of coretrek, made sure everything was set perfectly for me before, during and after the trek. He was disponible, kind, caring and really helpful. He made me feel like home and secure as soon as i landed in Nepal. I did my trek with Gorakh and Sudeep and they were always looking to make sure i was ok. They were funny, profesionnal and it was a true pleasure to be with them and share this wonderful moment. I recommand Nim and his team without hesitation, their love of mountains is pure and contagious !

 Verified Great experience ABC TREK
Thank you so much for putting together such an amazing trip for us. Every detail was perfectly handled, which made it easy for us to just enjoy the experience and take in the beauty around us. A big thank you to our guide Athma Rama and porter Krishan — their energy, knowledge, and kindness made the journey truly special. They didn’t just guide us, they made us feel comfortable, inspired, and connected throughout the trip.

I had an amazing experience with CoreTreks during my hiking trip in Nepal. The guide was professional, friendly, and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. The trip was very well-organized, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend Core Trek to anyone planning to visit Nepal — they made the journey unforgettable!
