Epic We used Epic Treks Nepal to organize our trekking adventure in Nepal. Our original plan was to trek in the Manaslu region, but unfortunately, the weather had other plans. The agency quickly arranged an alternative trek in the beautiful Nar Phu Valley, which turned out to be an amazing experience. Throughout the entire trek, we felt well taken care of and safe. Epic Treks Nepal was flexible, professional and always open to our suggestions and ideas. We can wholeheartedly recommend this agency! If you're planning a trekking adventure in Nepal, don't hesitate to trust them with your trip. Highly recommended – thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Trustworthy and kind We really loved our experience working with Epic Trek. They are kind and professional without being overly pushy. They helped us plan our trek in the Everest region as well as a trip to Pokhara. There are so many tour guide companies to work with but we would absolutely choose Epic Trek again.

Annapurna circuit trek I booked the Annapurna Circuit trek with this agency and had an amazing experience! The pre-hike communication was exceptional. I had a ton of questions and they answered everything quickly. They even met me warmly at the airport. My guide, Balkrishna, was incredible and went out of his way to make the trek memorable - I highly recommend him! The agency was incredibly flexible, adapting all transportation seamlessly to my needs. To top it off, their goodbye was just as warm as their welcome, ensuring I got to airport security safely. Highly satisfied with their services!

Amazing experience with great service Had my whole 3-week solo trip to Nepal organized by Epic Treks Nepal - safari at Chitwan, hotel stay in Kathmandu and the main reason for my trip, Manaslu Circuit Trek. Everything was arranged great, I got the support I needed even before the trip and during it. Also airport pick-up and drop-off was arranged.

Great service from day one, wonderful people. Also great value for the money. Pretty sure I will do another trip with the company.

EBC trek Bhanu helped me with arranging everything I needed (even renting quality hiking gear for a very low price) for the EBC trek. We stayed in touch during the trek in case I needed anything and thus everything went smoothly. I can recommend booking a trek with this company (or just jeeprides and gear which I did) to everyone

Perfect KTM day tour I had a wonderful experience with Epic trek for my Kathmandu day tour, and our group was genuinely satisfied with the entire service from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized, and the communication before and during the tour was clear and professional. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive, and he explained the history, culture, and significance of each place in a way that made the experience much more interesting and enjoyable. The itinerary was also well planned, so we were able to visit the main attractions without feeling rushed, while still having enough time to explore and take photos. I especially appreciated how flexible and accommodating the team was whenever we had questions or needed a little extra time at a certain location. The transportation was comfortable, the schedule was managed efficiently, and overall the whole day felt smooth and stress-free. It was a great way to experience Kathmandu in a short amount of time, and I felt that the service was well worth the price. I would definitely recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Kathmandu, especially if you want a reliable, comfortable, and enjoyable day tour with a friendly and professional team. I would be very happy to use their service again in the future!
