Our Reviews

If you are considering booking a trip with Scenic Nepal then do it! We have had the pleasure of spending a combined 17 days with them, and we’ve been more than satisfied with them.We had booked a private trip for the EBC and Gokyo Trek. The service was incredible and we had the most amazing guide and friend, Rajan, who made our journey very memorable. He made us feel safe and looked after every step of the way.We only have one small tiny thing we would’ve wished we had been aware of earlier. Please book a day or two extra on the other end of the trip, to make sure you have enough days to complete your trip. Nepalese weather can be very unpredictable, and that can mess with your flight to and from Lukla. We were not aware of this before booking the flight from Kathmandu (this is mostly our own fault), and therefore we just followed the original itinerary with airport drop-off. Because of bad weather we missed our first day of the trek, which made us rush a bit more, than we probably should’ve.But Dipendra and Rajan treated this problem in the best possible way and gave us some options for how we could continue. Even offering extension on the trip (for not much extra) to be able to get to do everything without rushing.Icing on the cake was spending time with Dipendra, some of the other people at Scenic and other trekkers at their headquarters in Kathmandu to celebrate Diwali after our trek. Scenic Nepal is an incredible team!

We recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Scenic Nepal Treks, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide Binod was incredible, patient, knowledgeable, and always making sure we were safe and comfortable. He explained everything clearly and kept our spirits high throughout the trek.A big thank you as well to Depindra, the founder of the company. He was so friendly and helpful from the moment we booked, checking in on us often and making sure everything was perfectly arranged.The whole team made this adventure smooth, memorable, and truly special. Highly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks to anyone planning the EBC trek.

If you're on the fence about going to EBC, then trust me when I say it is the most amazing trip both mentally & physically. Scenic Nepal Treks take care of you from the minute you arrive..Dipendra a source of information prior to arriving , the guides looking after you on the trek constantly checking how everyone is feeling , feeding us & reminding us to drink lots of water...36 Irish made it to EBC which is no small challenge & Scenic Nepal Trekking made it possible! Special thanks to the amazing Guides ..Shankar, Binot , Ramsi, Pasang, Buddha, Ghanga & all the porters...without you we would not have achieved our dreams ❤️

I had an amazing experience and a great adventure in Nepal thanks to our guide, Kumar. Him and Dipendra went above and beyond to make this an experience I won't forget for a long time.

This will be a long review because you need to know how incredible Scenic Nepal Treks truly is.I contacted Dipendra, the head of the company, months in advance to arrange a 12-day trip for a group of friends to celebrate my husband's and my 60th birthdays. All of us going was older than the average young trekkers and we wanted certain hotels and amenities that Dipendra arranged perfectly.Every single guide and porter were fantastic. They were attentive, kind, considerate, strong and smart. Our lead Sherpa was Shankar, who is highly experienced and knows the trails in detail. He also makes a pretty amazing apple pie. His son, Unish, was one of our porters and played a huge role in our trek. Our other guide was Manju, a young graduate student fluent in English who knows all of the history and facts about the country and its sites. She led us on a number of cultural tours in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Pokhara and she is wonderful.But here is why you should book with Scenic Nepal. Beyond what many other tour operators usually provide - good guides and porters, Nepali generosity, etc - this company went above and beyond when our friends went through various health crises.Three of the nine folks in our group ended up getting COVID in the first couple of days of our trip. Dipendra arranged for all of their needs to be met. He rebooked hotels, arranged for travel, etc. Dipendra was available 24/7 and kept everyone calm during this stressful time.The six of us left and then started the trek - we were doing Poon Hill - when another member of our group fell very ill. It wasn’t COVID or altitude, but it was very serious. Shankar immediately arranged to get our friend down the mountain and to the hospital in Pokhara and had his son stay with our friend. Dipendra then arranged a helicopter to MediVac him to Kathmandu and met him at the airport to take him straight to the hospital. Dipendra visited him at least once a day in the five days he was in the hospital.And while dealing with all of our crises, Dipendra, Shankar, Manju, Unish, and the other staff had positive attitudes and smiles on their faces. They are our heroes!I also want to note how important it is to book with a Nepali-owned company. Many westerners (often Americans) book with REI or big travel companies because they think they are safer or more reliable. They spend easily 3-4 times the amount of money, most of which never makes it to Nepal. But I want to tell you that we could not have asked for a better trekking company. They always made sure we were safe and comfortable. We literally have not a single complaint about them.I strongly urge you to use Scenic Nepal. At the age of 60, I thought this would be my last trek. But I am already planning another one in a few years and will definitely use Scenic Nepal. They were extraordinary despite the many challenges we faced.Most of all, we have become friends with all of them and we look forward to staying in touch over the years. We played card games at night with them and shared stories and laughs.Thank you, Dipendra, Shankar, Manju, Unish, Ganesh, and everyone at Scenic Nepal. We miss you already. 

I completely and only recommend these guys. They were awesome, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Traveling during a pandemic is stressful, but they were so on top of the travel restrictions. Giving reminders. “Don’t forget this, etc.” We felt taken care of. And we ran into other trekking groups on the trail. We had the best guides!

I have just been back from the incredible trekking trip in the Nepal Manaslu Circuit area. Scenic Nepal Treks has fantastic communication skills and helped me to arrange everything from route planning & application of all trekking permits, to accommodations, local transportation, and hiring guides and porters if I wanted them for the trek.The service is excellent ….before leaving the Uk I was reassured I didn't need to worry about anything during the trip.For the Manaslu Circuit trek, Dependra has assigned Santosh as our guide. He is an experienced trekking guide and speaks good English. He is very knowledgeable about the trek. I asked him about the mountain ranges and local culture. I learned a lot from Santosh has great charisma we had a good laugh and he has become a great lifelong friend. Everyone I met was so very kind the local people, took care of me every day. I had an unforgettable and incredible 12 days trekking trip.After the trek, I had time to visit Pokhara for sightseeing. Even after the trek, I have to thank Santosh for his advice and for arranging the right transport for my next experience.If anyone is planning the next Nepal trip, I would highly recommend Scenic Nepal Trekking and Santosh is a truly fantastic and special man and an excellent guide.

I had a wonderful experience with Scenic Nepal Treks doing the EBC trek through the 3 passes! Jagat my guide was the best and I learned a lot with him about the Nepali culture.
