A Caring Agent
I traveled to Kathmandu for a conference and visited the World Heritage sites, but the most impressive sightseeing was the early morning mountain flight at 5:15 to see the Himalayas. My wife walks with crutches and was taken good care of, especially on the last day when her feet got swallowed badly, Mani kindly arranged her to receive the best medical treatment in the local international hospital. She had a CT, received effective medication, and was released after an overnight stay. The best travel agents are those who really care about their clients!




Everest/Lhotse expedition
Two friends and I signed up for Everest/Lhotse expedition through Mani. Mani was super responsive and gave us quote right away fitting our requests. We were matched to Satori expeditions for logistics and guiding (typical in 8000m expeditions for companies to combine logistics for efficiency). Mani has been transparent and had great communication before and during the expedition. He also met us in Kathmandu after to make sure everything goes smoothly post -exped. The expedition was long but I summited Everest, which was the top goal for the trip. I'm very happy with all the planning and help from the Great adventure treks and expeditions.




Superb experience 7 days Nepal trip
I generally book the hotels on my own but this time decided to go via tour travelers for some local experience. After taking quotes and details from 2 other companies, contacted Mani ji via whatsapp for 7 day Nepal tour. As a owner, he himself guided and made the itinerary for me. 1. Full transparency from hotel category to exact hotels and all inclusions exclusions w.r.t costs. 2. Pick ups , sight seeing everytime the car was on time. 3. All the staff were very helpful and courteous. 4. Any changes from my side were accepted without any discomfort. 5. Mr. Mani ji was available all the time for any info or help. Best thing was he never asked for any advance payment for sharing itinerary and giving hotel details etc. One of the best tour organiser experience I had. Highly recommend him !!

We trekked up to Everest Base Camp to undertake the Everest Marathon, and throughout our time in Nepal we were fully supported by the Team at Great Adventure Treks. The owner of the company, Mani, was in constant contact with us, helping to arrange our trip and meet our needs. He ensured every aspect of our trip was catered for. He put us in contact with our Guide (Padam) and our Porter (Sunil), who accompanied us up to base camp. Padam was an excellent guide, who was knowable, understanding and caring throughout our trek. He ensured we were ready for the marathon and his knowledge of the area was truly amazing. Sunil has an excellent character. He was with us every step of the way, carrying out bags from Lukla all the way to base camp. He did all this with a constant smile on his face, ensuring our spirits remained high throughout the long trekking days. The Trek and Marathon were amazing events, and the majesty of the Himalayas can not be understated. Overall, we had an amazing time and would strongly recommended anyone who was looking to visit the region to get in touch and book with the Great Adventure Trekking company.
I traveled to Buhtan and Tibet. It was a very safe and comfortable trip. Good hotels and great meals were provided. I would like to recommend this travel agency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Everest Base Camp with Island Peak trek?
The Everest Base Camp with Island Peak trek is a challenging adventure that combines the iconic Everest Base Camp trek with the exhilarating climb of Island Peak (6,189 meters / 20,299 feet). This trek allows you to explore the Everest region and summit a trekking peak, Island Peak, which provides stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan range.
How difficult is the Island Peak climb?
The Island Peak climb is considered a non-technical yet challenging climb. While it doesn't require advanced mountaineering skills, trekkers should have a reasonable level of fitness and be comfortable with the use of crampons, ice axes, and other basic climbing equipment. The altitude and technical terrain make the climb strenuous, but with proper preparation, it is achievable for experienced trekkers.
Do I need previous mountaineering experience for Island Peak?
Previous mountaineering experience is not required for Island Peak, but you should have a good level of fitness and the ability to hike in high altitudes. Basic mountaineering training, such as the use of crampons and ice axes, is provided by the guides before the climb. If you're new to climbing, you should be physically prepared for the physical demands of the trek and summit.
What is the best time to do the Everest Base Camp with Island Peak trek?
The best time for this trek is during the pre-monsoon season (March to May) and post-monsoon season (September to November). These months offer stable weather conditions, clear skies, and moderate temperatures, which are ideal for trekking and climbing.
What should I pack for the trek?
You will need to pack cold weather clothing , trekking gear (boots, crampons, gloves, etc.), climbing gear (ice axe, ropes, etc.), and personal items such as a sleeping bag, camera, and first aid kit. A full packing list will be provided to you before the trek to ensure you have everything needed for a safe and comfortable journey.
What is the cost of the Everest Base Camp with Island Peak trek?
The cost of the trek varies depending on the season, group size, and specific services included. It generally covers accommodation, meals, guides, porters, permits, and domestic flights. Additional costs like personal gear, tips, and beverages are not included. It’s best to inquire with your trekking company for a detailed quote.
Is there a risk of altitude sickness in Island Peak?
Yes, altitude sickness is a risk on any high-altitude trek, especially at altitudes above 3,000 meters. This trek includes acclimatization days to minimize this risk. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, and shortness of breath. If symptoms become severe, descending to lower altitudes is crucial.
Do I need a guide and porter to climb island peak?
Yes, it is highly recommended to have both a guide and a porter for the Island Peak climb. Here’s why:
1. Guide:
- Technical Expertise : The Island Peak climb involves some technical aspects like using crampons, ice axes, and ropes. A guide will ensure that you are properly equipped and can provide guidance on how to use the climbing gear.
- Safety : A guide is crucial for your safety, especially at high altitudes. They are trained to handle emergency situations and can assist in case of altitude sickness or other issues.
- Navigation : The trail to Island Peak is remote, and a guide will help with route finding and navigating the terrain, especially during the summit attempt.
- Climbing Support : Your guide will lead the summit push, ensuring that you stay on track and at a safe pace. They will assist with technical climbing and ensure you are confident in your ascent.
2. Porter:
- Carrying Gear : A porter will carry your gear and personal items, allowing you to focus on the physical and technical aspects of the climb rather than worrying about a heavy load. This is especially important during the Island Peak climb, where you'll need to conserve your energy for the summit.
- Lightens the Load : As you reach higher altitudes, the physical strain increases. Having a porter will reduce the burden on your body, allowing you to trek and climb more comfortably.
3. Additional Considerations :
- Permit Requirements : For Island Peak, you'll also need to secure a climbing permit, which is typically arranged through your guide or trekking agency.
- Climbing Expertise : Although the climb does not require advanced mountaineering experience, the presence of a guide ensures that you have the necessary knowledge and support to reach the summit safely.
