Jesús GarcíaVerified Viaje excepcional por Nepal Hemos hecho un circuito personalizado a nuestras necesidades. Ha sido siempre muy servicial y ha respondido siempre con muchísima rapidez a cualquier consulta realizada. Nos ha aconsejado recorrido y ha estado pendiente en todo momento. Los alojamientos han estado muy bien. Habla inglés y español y la comunicación con el ha sido excelente. Una agencia que ha cumplido de forma sobresaliente nuestras expectativas. Muy recomendable Alicia AVerified Excelente experiencia Una experiencia excelente. Todo muy bien organizado y los diferentes guías con los que estuvimos muy amables. Nos adaptaron el circuito a nuestro gusto y nivel. Trekking, Chitwan, Pokara, Katmandu y algu os lugares más. Shishir muy atento en todo momento, además también habla español lo que facilitó mucho nuestra estancia. Si vuelvo a Nepal lo haré con esta agencia. Gema AVerified Great private tour in Nepal We had a wonderful tour of Nepal organized by Shishir, the owner of Ambition Himalaya. From our first contact, he answered quickly, providing a lot of information and suggesting improvements to our original plan. We came in August, during the monsoon season, and trekked to Poon Hill, visited Bandipur, and enjoyed a few days of safari in the Chitwan area. The whole trip was tailor-made with a private driver and adapted to our available days. They were always punctual and the accommodations were excellent. Shishir was also our guide during the trek, always attentive to our needs, very friendly, and, as a bonus, he speaks Spanish. I highly recommend Ambition Himalaya. HudsonVerified Gokyo was even better than i expected Honestly, this trek turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve taken in nepal. gokyo lake was even more beautiful in person, and the whole trail had something different to offer each day. our guide from ambition himalaya was excellent friendly, relaxed, and always there when we needed him. He never rushed us and made the long walking days much easier. Everything was well organized, from the airport pickup to the trek itself. I’m really glad I chose ambition himalaya and would definitely travel with them again. Cory GVerified One of my best trekking experiences I honestly didn’t expect upper mustang to be this amazing. the scenery changes so much along the way, and every day felt different. what i enjoyed most was the peaceful villages, old monasteries and the feeling of being far away from the busy world. our guide was excellent and made the whole trek much easier and more enjoyable. he was friendly, knowledgeable and always there when we needed him. this was definitely one of the best treks of my life. If I return to nepal, i will definitely request the same guide again. ThomasVerified One of the best mornings in nepal The early start was completely worth it. The nagarkot sunrise was beautiful, and the walk through the quiet trails made the morning even better. our guide from ambition himalaya was friendly, on time, and easy to talk to. the hike was well organized without feeling rushed. We really enjoyed the views, fresh air, and peaceful atmosphere. a great way to spend a morning near kathmandu. iker VVerified El viaje de una vida ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Acabo de completar el trekking de 14 días al Campo Base del Everest con Ambition Himalaya y solo puedo decir que ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. El trekking es simplemente espectacular. Poder caminar entre algunas de las montañas más impresionantes del planeta y llegar al Campo Base del Everest era un sueño que tenía desde niño, y vivirlo en persona superó por completo todas mis expectativas. Pero si algo hizo este viaje realmente especial fueron las personas. Quiero destacar especialmente a Bharat y Samir. Bharat fue mucho más que un guía; durante estas dos semanas se convirtió en un amigo. Siempre atento, ayudando en todo momento, compartiendo risas, historias y haciendo que disfrutáramos cada día del trekking. Su profesionalidad es increíble, pero su calidad humana lo es aún más. Y qué decir de Samir. Siempre con una sonrisa, una energía contagiosa y una actitud admirable. Fue una parte fundamental de la experiencia y una de esas personas que dejan huella. Compartir esta aventura con Bharat y Samir hizo que el viaje fuera muchísimo más especial y que Nepal se sintiera como un lugar aún más acogedor. También quiero agradecer a Shishir su excelente gestión y organización. Desde el primer contacto todo fue sencillo, claro y perfectamente preparado. El Campo Base del Everest era uno de mis mayores sueños desde niño, y gracias a Ambition Himalaya pude disfrutarlo de la mejor manera posible. Si algún día vuelvo a Nepal, no tengo ninguna duda de que volveré a hacerlo con ellos. ¡Gracias, Bharat, Samir y Shishir, por una experiencia que nunca olvidaré! 🙏🏔️❤️ moagVerified One of my best experiences in nepal To be honest, this trek wasn't even my first choice when I started planning my nepal trip. After speaking with Shishir from ambition himalaya, I decided to give it a try, and I'm really happy I did. Looking back now, it was easily the highlight of my entire visit. The route was peaceful, the mountain scenery kept getting better every day, and standing beside the hidden alpine lake felt unreal after days of hiking. our guide was fantastic throughout the journey, always checking on everyone and sharing interesting stories about the places we passed. the tea houses were comfortable, everything was well organized, and I never felt rushed. If I return to nepal for another trek, Ambition Himalaya will definitely be the first company I contact DanielVerified 45 days in nepal and this was my favorite ,memory I've been traveling around Nepal for the last 45 days, and this trek easily became my favorite part of the trip. the mountains were incredible, but what really stayed with me was the kindness of the people. everywhere we stopped, locals greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel welcome. I booked with ambition himalaya, and I'm glad I did. nothing felt rushed or overly planned. our guide knew when to chat and when to simply let us enjoy the silence of the mountains. walking into annapurna base camp after days on the trail was an unforgettable feeling, and it's a memory I'll carry home with me. MazamVerified Worth Every Step to Annapurna Base Camp I wasn't sure what to expect before starting the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, but it turned out to be one of the best trips I've done. The trails were beautiful, the villages felt welcoming, and the mountain views kept getting better each day. Our guide was excellent—always on time, easy to talk to, and happy to answer every question. He made sure everyone walked at a comfortable pace and stayed safe throughout the trek. The whole trip was well managed, and I never had to worry about anything. If you're thinking about doing ABC, I'd happily recommend this team.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
