Trip Reviews
Ally GVerified Amazing EBC Experience Ambition Himalaya exceeded all expectations! Was one of the best and most memorable trips. Shishir made the booking process very easy and attended to all our needs. Our guide Ghaman and porters Mohan & Kaka were amazing. They were so kind and looked after us so well. Can’t recommend EBC Trek with Ambition more! Peter GVerified Everest Base Camp 5 Star Trek Absolutely brilliant Trek and Ambition Himilaya Treks & Expeditions were magnificent. Cannot recommend highly enough..accommodation, guides ( shout out to Ghaman, Porters Kaka & Mwan), Trek & trek gear supplied, meals..all were amazing. Best value (not sure how they supplied it all for the price) and either side of the trek we were spoilt with beautiful Hotel accommodation. Have done quite a few altitude and tougher treks but this one was truly A+ . Made a trek with my daughters a very special lifetime memory. A big Thankyou to Shishir and his Team…the absolute best. edward nVerified Great experience Shishir is very responsive and friendly guy. The ABC trek has been enjoyable and well taken care of. Kudos to Shishir and guide Bharat Katherine AVerified unforgettable I had a wonderful guide Bharat and a porter. There was a very friendly atmosphere. I will miss it. The company took care of me the whole time I was in Maddison GVerified 10/10 - Amazing tour company! From the very start Shishir was amazing at helping us organise our trip. He is prompt with his responses and willing to help in a way possible. We did the Everest Base Camp Trek with Ghaman as our guide and he was so amazing. Always made sure we had everything we needed, was so knowledgeable and a perfect trekking guide, managing our speed and altitude affects. Our porters Kaka & Mohan were so kind and attentive! We loved our team. We stayed in fantastic and comfortable tea houses! Ambition Himalaya really made an impact on how wonderful our trip was from pick up at the airport to drop off. Would recommend them to anyone travelling to Nepal!! NataliaVerified Excepcional Muy recomendable esta empresa, y por supuesto, su representante Shishir. Contacto muy fácil y cercano desde el minuto 1, cualquier duda/pregunta aclarada en el momento. Ruta hecha a nuestra medida. El guía de habla español, muy muy bien, Purna☺️. Comenzamos el 19 de febrero, hasta el 6 de marzo. Desde la llegada al aeropuerto un trato muy muy bueno, hasta nuestro último día en Katmandú. Shishir se encarga de todo, y todo salió de 10. Todo perfecto. El Trekking es una maravilla y si encima salen las cosas bien, mejor que mejor. Recomiendo mucho mucho esta empresa . Zabdu42Verified Superbe expérience dans le Haut Mustang Dès la prise de contact avec l’agence, tout a été fluide. David ExpositoVerified Maravillosa!! De las mejores experiencias que he tenido nunca, desde el primer momento. Bhakta y Hari, el porteador y guía respectivamente, de lo mejor. Gente super agradable, simpática, atenta, que están pendiente continuamente de que te sientas bien. Te sientes arropado en todo momento. El trekking es precioso. Las vistas, la gente, los poblados. Es necesario vivirlo para sentirlo. Sin duda, volveré a hacer otro de los trekkings al campo base con ellos. Freedom57809069101Verified 1000% would recommend My husband and I travelled with Ambition Himalaya in 2025. We had a super easy time communicating with Shishir and he was amazing in helping us set an itinerary that worked for us. Ghaman (our guide) and Mohan (porter) were friendly, welcoming, and extremely helpful. We were unable to hike our original route due to some non-altitude related health issues and they adjusted the plan so we could still make the most of our time. We also got sick at the end of the trek and had to change our flights home and Shishir was super accommodating and helpful while we navigated that. 1000% would recommend them. chiara fVerified Beautiful 3 days experience A wonderful experience! We did a three-day trek, passing through the villages of Ghorepani, Tadapani, and Gandruk. We saw the sunrise from Poon Hill and from Tadapani itself. We really enjoyed the refreshment stops along the way, where we always found great hospitality and delicious meals. We loved the accommodation in Ghorepani, which had a beautiful common room surrounded by mountains, served good food, and had a lovely, convivial atmosphere. All of this was organized by Shishir with great professionalism: communicating with him before departure was quick and easy; we had no problems at all; he guided us with expertise, cheerfulness, and discretion at the same time. Thank you, and see you soon!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
