Above and beyond every expectation

Adventuretripr is such a wonderful company! This is my 2nd trip I've booked with them and everytime our trips go without any hiccups. Everything is taken care of for us and the communication beforehand to help get you ready is wonderful as well. We did a trip to Everest base camp with an added yoga experience and it was above and beyond every expectation I had. I highly reccomend booking through adventuretripr. Its the best way to travel with very little stress, and knowing you are in great hands with the porters, accommodations, etc. You will NOT be dissapointed!

The Absolute Best Service

Jamuna (my wife) and I went on Sep 18 to EBC. AdventureTripr has taken care of everything, right from our landing at Kathmandu. The yoga teacher, Anil, was excellent. After a long walk, stretching out every morning made lots of difference for the day. The accomodations arranged were great, good food, awesome guides and porters. AdventureTripr has taken all the pains and we both thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Incredible Experience! Thank you Adventuretripr!

I went on my EBC trip with AdventureTripr in September 2022. What an amazing trip it was! The whole trip and fine details were all taken care of by AdventureTripr. As a solo traveler I was apprehensive not knowing what to expect. But my expectations were beyond excellent! We had the best accommodations, guides, porters, food, lodges! From the time we got picked up from the airport till we got dropped off- some 14 days later we were treated like a family. We had authentic local food, entertainment, and tours that was part of our package. This was a yoga included package, experienced amazing yoga sessions with breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges! Our Guide Nirmal took care of each of us like his own family! Overall- an amazing dream come true experience! I plan to make all my future adventures with AdventureTripr ❤️ Thank you AdventureTripr for making this a very special amazing experience. 🙏🏻
