Trip Reviews
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. MdalVerified Every day on this trek was worth It I just finished the annapurna base camp trek, and I'm still thinking about the experience. every day felt different, with beautiful forests, quiet villages, and incredible mountain views along the trail. reaching base camp and seeing the mountains up close was a moment I'll never forget. I booked through ambition himalaya, and everything was well organized. Our guide was friendly, supportive, and always made sure the group was comfortable. I'd happily recommend this trek to anyone. RafqVerified An Unforgettable Manaslu Circuit Trek The 16day Manaslu Circuit Trek was an incredible experience from start to finish. The changing landscapes, peaceful villages, suspension bridges, and breathtaking mountain views made every day special. Crossing Larke Pass was challenging, but the feeling of reaching the top was unforgettable. Everything was organized exactly as promised, and I never had to worry about anything during the trek. A special thanks to Shishir from Ambition Himalaya, who answered all my questions before the trip and made sure everything was perfectly arranged. The guide was friendly, professional, and always supportive. This was a truly memorable adventure, and I would happily recommend Ambition Himalaya to anyone planning the Manaslu Circuit Trek in Nepal. MatthewVerified Manaslu Circuit Trek I spent around 2 months in Nepal (May–June) and completed the 16 days Manaslu Circuit Trek during this time, and I’m still staying here for 15 more days. The trek felt like real mountain life, walking daily through rivers, forests, suspension bridges, and remote villages where everything is very simple and slow. Tea houses were basic but warm after long tiring hikes, and locals were always kind and welcoming. The guide was very friendly and supportive throughout the journey, which made the whole experience easier and more enjoyable. Special thanks to Shishir, owner of Ambition Himalaya, for arranging everything so smoothly. The hardest part was Larke La Pass with cold wind and altitude, but the views were unforgettable. No luxury, just raw Himalayas, silence, and a real experience that stays in mind. הלל פינסVerified amazing annapurna base camp trek last month i completed the annapurna base camp trek with ambition himalaya treks & expeditions and it was my first trekking experience. everything went very smoothly from start to finish. mr shishir organized the trip very well and was always helpful. the people of nepal were kind and welcoming. i had a wonderful time and am planning to visit nepal again this october. highly recommended.. Timothe BVerified Best trek experience — highly recommend Ambition Himalaya We just completed the Annapurna Circuit with Ambition Himalaya and it was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish. From the very beginning, Shishir was incredibly helpful in adapting our itinerary to fit our availability and adjusted both the trek and the pricing accordingly — without any hassle. That kind of flexibility and transparency made a huge difference. Our guide Bharat and porter Shyam were simply outstanding. Both were kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about our wellbeing throughout the entire trek. They always made sure we were comfortable, well-paced, and enjoying every moment. We couldn't have asked for better people to share this experience with. Everything went exactly as planned — and then some. As a bonus, we got to do Ice Lake, which wasn't originally part of our itinerary. It was an incredible, unexpected highlight that we'll never forget. I recommend Ambition Himalaya 100% without hesitation. If you're looking for a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely warm team to guide you through Nepal, look no further. I would not hesitate to trek with them again. Sofía RodríguezVerified Everest Base Camp Trek – Unforgettable Experience Last month, I completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with my friends through Ambition Himalaya Treks & Expeditions, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Reaching EBC had always been a dream, and the entire team made the journey smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, professional, and always there whenever we needed help. The views were incredible, the accommodations were well arranged, and everything was managed perfectly. Standing at Everest Base Camp with my friends was one of the best moments of my life. I highly recommend this company to anyone planning a trek in Nepal. Thank you for making this dream come true.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
