Reviews
Professional and good care
The agent, The Great Adventure; The guide Padam; and the porter Syange was very professional and always take good care of me. He was able to adjust the itinerary based on my status. During the most challenging sections—Cho La Pass (5,420m) and the Glacier crossing—my guide provided impeccable safety protocols. Navigating slippery ice and unstable moraines, he identified the safest lines, ensured my microspikes were fitted correctly, and provided steady support in high-risk areas, allowing me to focus entirely on the terrain
The best trip to Nepal
Mani's Chitwan adventure was fantastic. It required minimal mental effort; I just followed the itinerary. Throughout the trip, Mani consistently showed timely care and concern, making it a truly wonderful experience.
You are in good hand while in Nepal 🇳🇵
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mani the tour Manager . We were in touch before we touch down Kathmandu . All ground arrangements were arranged and we were well taken care off. The vehicle is spacious and Ramesh is a safe driver and courtesy guy . He help us to take care of our daughter when we were getting things done during the trip 😁 . Not forget to mentioned that Mani also make it a point to delivered a birthday 🎂 cake and props to the hotel as he learned is my birthday and is our anniversary. I highly recommend this company as you will definitely will be on good hand while in Nepal 🇳🇵 Thank you 🙏 Mani & Ramesh . Regards Cindy Rana Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
One of the best treks of my life! My guide, Binod, is so sweet and passionate about his job and knows everything. Without him this would’ve been such a different experience, because he always makes sure you’re happy and comfortable. The organisation was also perfect so I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Perfect👌
This trip to Nepal was truly unforgettable, and it’s all thanks to The Great Adventure Treks and Expedition. From the very first moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized — a private car and driver were waiting for us, and we felt cared for every step of the way. A special thank you to our driver Dinesh Ranaphali — always calm, focused, and extremely professional. We felt completely safe and relaxed during all our journeys. Our guide Lil Bahadur was outstanding: his stories, knowledge, and passion for Nepal’s history, temples, and culture made every tour come alive. We experienced so many incredible moments — flying to Everest by helicopter, tasting delicious Nepalese food, exploring stunning temples in Kathmandu, and relaxing in Pokhara with breathtaking Himalayan views. All of this was possible thanks to Mani, whose dedication, kindness, and attention to every detail turned this trip into something truly special. This is not just a tour company — it’s a team that works with heart. Highly, highly recommended. Thank you as well for the wonderful final dinner. Davide & Marta
On this trip, we found The Great Adventure travel agency online. The owner, Mani, is very easy to communicate with and extremely capable when it comes to arranging itineraries. After arriving in Nepal, if there were any adjustments needed, we could always discuss them with him, and he would do his best to help. Thanks to Mani’s arrangements over the past few days, we were able to visit Pokhara and enjoy the beautiful Himalayan views. We traveled there by car and decided to return by flight, and he took care of everything for us. We are very grateful for his help. If we visit Nepal again in the future, we will definitely ask Mani to assist us again.
