Unforgettable Island Peak Expedition - Our trip in April to Island Peak with Explore Himalaya was truly amazing! We had a sped up version of a summit trip, which was gonna be 14 days which to be fair, I do not recommend unless you are in excellent condition. We did it as our friends could not get more time off, and we appreciated it so much that Explore Himalaya tailor made this trip for us. The difficulty for such a trip for a person like me who likes to plan, is to know what the weather will be like, and of course no one will be able to tell you that. Explore Himalaya had a really helpful packing list, and a very detailed itinerary to sort of know what's expected for the various days - which I very much appreciated. The trip itself went super smooth, we had amazing weather each day, stayed at the best lodges throughout - with clear rooms, with comfortable beds and just delicious food (which to me is the most important). I was the slowest in our group, but got to walk my own pace the whole way, and had a sherpa with me the whole time. Because of this, I felt great throughout the whole trip - with no real symptoms of altitude sickness at all. Thank you, Explore Himalaya, for an incredible adventure in the Himalayas! This will be a trip Ill always remember!

Island Peak Summit Adventure! - Island Peak - amazing experience Apr 2025 • Friends What an amazing experience my husband Dean and I had during our Island Peak expedition organized by Explore Himalaya. Everything was perfectly managed by the staff, starting from the top level accomodation and flexibility provided to my our group during the entire journey. The guides and the porters worked in a very professional way and I was suprised by the facility with which we were able to interact and communicate. Amazing thanks to Anuj and the whole staff for making our dream an unforgettable reality.

If you’re up for a real challenge, these are your people. - Second time trekking in Nepal with Explore Himalaya - and what an adventure! Two years ago we had an unforgettable experience trekking to Everest Base Camp, so we came back to the magical Khumbu region to chase a new goal: Island Peak. This expedition was a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have happened without the amazing team at Explore Himalaya. From the moment we landed in Kathmandu to summit day, everything was super smooth. Our guides were on it - keeping us safe, helping us acclimatize properly, and making sure we soaked in every step through the Himalayas. Island Peak was hands down the hardest thing I’ve ever done. We were short on time and didn’t overnight at base camp, so the summit push was brutal. High altitude is no joke - neither is the cold! We moved painfully slow over crevasses, ice walls, and sketchy ridges, and reached the headwall just before sunrise. Honestly, we wouldn’t have made it without our guides - they literally pushed us to the top of Imja Tse 😅🙏 If you’re dreaming of climbing in Nepal, I can’t recommend Explore Himalaya enough. Already eyeing my next 6000+ meter rock to climb with them. If you’re up for a real challenge, these are your people.

Island peak summit May 2025 - We did the Island Peak trip with Explore Himalaya in May 2025 and it was an amazing experience. We had a short window in which we could do the trip and the guides and porters were great in getting us onto the summit in such a short amount of time. For anyone wanting to do this I would recommend spending as much time acclimatising as possible as it will make your summit push that much easier. Thank you to Anuj and the whole team!

EBC Trek and Island Peak - Our Explore Himalaya trip in a nutshell - AMAZING! From the moment we walked out of the airport, until the minute we finished up, we were very well taken care of. Our Island Peak adventure was everything we could have asked for, supplying us with everything we needed to make a proper attempt at achieving our summit goal. Most of our group made it to the top with their Explore guides, and those that didn’t were thrilled with their personal achievements. I consider the entire experience a huge success.

The best of the best! - Explore Himalaya are the best in the business! I've worked with them to bring groups to ABC X2 and EBC X2. They always deliver to the highest of standards, hire excellent guides and ensure all logistics are handled smoothly. When plans change due to weather, they are quick to act with contingency plans and ensure a stress-free experience. You won't find a better organisation than these guys 🤙

Wholesome memorys - My three friends and I did the EBC trek with Explore Himalayas, and the whole experience was amazing. I first contacted Anuj, who was polite and great with the information needed. He put me in contact with the team. Planning was amazing; all contact until the start of the trip was excellent, and all questions were answered. Once we arrived in Kathmandu, the service was perfect. Everything they said was on point and on time. The hotel was amazing, with well-cooked dinner and even a tour on the day of the trek, which was good. On the ground was Mr. Anuj; he was constantly making the time and effort for things to happen smoothly, even when plans changed due to weather, etc. Big thanks to him for his hard work from start to finish. Our guide was Bal, and I felt lucky to have him for our trek. I hope we meet again for another. He was polite, helpful, funny, and knowledgeable, and you can clearly see his expertise and love for his country and job. Big thanks to Bal. Also, thanks to Dill; he was the second guide (in training, I think), but he was also amazing. Thanks, mate. All in all, if you're looking for an exceptional trip to Nepal and the Himalayas, this company is 10/10. I will not go with anyone else on my next trip. Thanks for everything—memories made.

Incredible Experience - Anuj and his team couldn't have been more helpful pre-trek. They answered all our questions honestly, thoroughly and quickly. Meaning we could prepare for our epic adventure without worry. From the moment we were picked up from Kathmandu Airport we were made to feel like royalty. There wasn't anything that that wasn't thought about. We were made welcome with a traditional welcome meal on the first night and a tour of Kathmandu the 2nd day. When we were settled we started our trek to Everest basecamp. We were met in Lukla with the most incredible Lead guide, Bal Kumar. Bal was by far the best guide I have ever had on an experience like this. From the moment we met him until we parted ways he had a smile on his face and kept our group motivated (even when the weather was against us) 10/10 for Bal. His experience and love for the mountains is unquestionable. On our return from base camp one of our group members fell sick, and this matter was treated with all seriousness by Anuj. He was immediately taken to the hospital without question and back to the group within a few hours. Absolutely the best adventure groups I have had the pleasure of dealing with. Highly Recommend.
