About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- HL C0 contributionsEBC base camp trekking with Big Sky Treks & Expedition终于在5-Nov-2024完成了不可能的任务,成功登上珠穆朗玛峰大本营。当登上山顶时, 心中那份快乐真的难以形容。 这一路,山高水长,风景之秀丽,当你征服一座又一座山峰时,你会感到无比的兴奋、喜悦和满足。尤其是第一次接触到雪的降臨。空中飘着晶莹剔透的雪花,不时飘落到我的脸上,舒服极了! 当然这次愉快的爬山旅游,一定要特别感謝Big Sky Treks & Expedition 的领队—Bhakti Devkota 和他的职员Nirkumar Basnet 以及Sujan Basnet。 在整个快乐的旅游过程中,他们陪我在寒冷的天气走完全程。他们時时刻刻提醒我爬山的安全意识。每当当天行程结束后,他会预告第二天的路程和气温情况,需要用多少时间去完成和建议该穿多厚的衣服比较适合,至少这让我有了心理准备。更重要的是他们还把我好多好多美好的回忆拍照,视频记录下来 。 这是我人生中一次难忘而又珍贵的旅行经历。 在整个爬山过程中,他们以“真诚、热情、周到、细致”的优质服务给我们留下深刻美好的印象。 Big Sky Treks & Expedition是一间值得信任的旅行公司。任何人想要去尼泊尔爬山或旅游,我大力推荐Big Sky Treks & Expedition给大家。 在此,向Bhakti Devkota ,Nirkumar Basnet 和Sujan Basnet真诚的付出表示衷心的感谢🙏。 On 5-Nov-2024, l have completed the impossible task, successfully reached the Everest Base Camp. When reached the summit, the joy in my heart was truly indescribable. The journey was long and arduous, with breathtaking scenery. As you conquer one mountain peak after another, you feel an immense sense of excitement, joy, and satisfaction. Especially the first time encountering the snowfall. The air was filled with sparkling snowflakes, gently falling on my face, and it felt incredibly refreshing! I must say a big thank you to Big Sky Treks & Expedition - Bhakti Devkota and his staff, Nirkumar Basnet and Sujan Basnet, for making this enjoyable mountaineering trip possible. They were proactive in their work, enthusiastic in their attitude, attentive to detail, and focused on safety throughout the entire journey. Every evening after the day's hike, they would brief us on the next day's route, temperature, the estimated time for completion, and suggestions on how thick the clothing should be, which gave me a mental preparation. Most importantly, they captured many beautiful memories with video and photos, creating lasting memories of this incredible experience. This was an unforgettable and precious journey in my life. During the entire trekking process, their "sincere, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and meticulous" service left a deep and beautiful impression on us. Big Sky Treks & Expedition is a trustworthy travel company. Anyone planning to trek or travel in Nepal, I highly recommend Big Sky Treks & Expedition to you. Here, I sincerely express my heartfelt gratitude to Bhakti Devkota, Nirkumar Basnet, and Sujan Basnet for their dedication, an incredible guide during our trek to Everest Base Camp. This trip would not have been the same without your support. Thanks and regards 🙏Written 20 November 2024

- rosezoilr0 contributionsFabulous Pokhara tripI’m pleased with the service provided by Shambhu Couch Adventure Nepal. I had a very comfy bus ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara and back. My guide, Kumar was very nice and flexible. He reprogrammed my schedule to ensure I have enough time to visit all the must see places in Pokhara and at the same time leisurely enjoyed my paragliding experience ( must do!). He was was also very patient with all the queries I had during the tour. Namaste 🙏🏻 The sunrise in Sarangkot was spectacular with the Annapurna Himalayas even though the weather was hazy. I had a fabulous time.Written 19 April 2024
- Me_Mo_and_The_World0 contributionsFabulous Private Lower Mustang Jeep Tour by Lovely Guide and Experienced DriverBefore I had reserved this tour, I hesitated whether it is good or not because of a few reviews. After I finished this tour, I definifely tell you that this is one of the best tours during travelling in almost 50 countries. The tour team contacted me a few days before starting the tour via WhatsApp for the important documents for ACAP and TIMS card, then they arranged for us which are included in the tour. On the first day, the guide, Mr.Mukunda, and the driver, Mr. Narayan, picked up us at the hostel near the lakeside. We drove to Lower Mustang directly. They knew we loved the snow mountains, so they adjusted our first night to stay in Kalapani, with the panoramic views of snow moutains from our guesthouse. The second day, we visited Marpha village and then stayed at Muktinath at the hotel with snow mountain view too. The third day, we request to stop at Jharkot. We had mini walking tour in this village before descending to visit Kagbeni and stayed at Jomsom with the best hotel with snow mountain view from our room. The fourth day, the guide adviced us to go to Dhumba lake early, otherwise the strong wind or the cloud would come. We got lots of best photo shots here. We went down to stay at Tatopani. All of us went to the local hot spring here. The last day, they drop off us at the front door of our hotel in Sarangkot. Throughout this trip, Mr. Mukunda, always took care us with his serviced mind and his professional skills. We also had our free time to explore each villages depend on our interested. This program tour was flexible and we could visit more than the noted itinerary. Last of all, Don't hesitate to choose this tour.Written 18 April 2024
- Journey002685313060 contributionsMemorable 5 days journeyMe&my friend booked this 5 days tour. There are only 4 people in the jeep ( Me,my friend,guide,driver), So this is private tour.😁 Lower Mustang has beautiful landscape. I can look at many snow mountains, valleys, villages, and finally we visited Muktinath, the deepest area of lower Mustang. We love this tour. the guide and the driver always try to figured out what we like and want to see, and then find it for us, for examples, they always bring us to a hotel with the best snow mountain view ( We came here for this ). Good advice what is the best time to visit places to get the best view and pictures. The guide and the driver is 100% on time. They always wait for us before the appointment time. So, we very appreciate this trip ,especially for Nepalese hospitality 🤍🤍🤍 Our guide : Mr.Mukunda Adhikari Our driver : Mr.Narayan PudasainiWritten 18 April 2024
- AlexandraC1980 contributionsExcellent service from Sham in PokharaSolo female traveller, I did an extensive research before choosing CAN and was extremely satisfied with the service: quick clear responses, prices aligned and I had an excellent guide. I did the 3D-2N Poon hill trek: bus from Pokhara to Uleri then trek to Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Tadapani, Ghandruk => i massively recommend (be prepared for a lot of tourists in the morning hike to Poon Hill, not really my cup of tea but still worth the views) Accommodations while trekking are super basic, but it’s part of the adventure. My guide was very attentive, we trekked in beautiful areas and I would 100% recommend and go back with them. Prepare for the cold, end of March I didn’t expect how could it would be, especially at night!! Thank you Sham for being such a great organiser and for your helpWritten 6 April 2024
- shizukuh20240 contributionsGood experienceIt was the most wonderful time. It's very difficult to get to the mountain, but the guides are very kind. You can enjoy the wonderful scenery.Written 13 March 2024
- lisabB9099HJ0 contributionsNice Mardi Himal trekWe had a really nice time climbing to Mardi Himal together with guide Dadhi. The tour was well arranged and all went smoothly. If your looking for a quiet guide who gives you enough space, Dadhi is the right person!Written 19 February 2024
- 897nitashag0 contributionsGreat first time trekking experience!Highly recommend this company. We were a group of 4 with 0 hiking/ trekking experience. It was a little challenging but worth it and doable. Our guide Prakash was fantastic and helped us so much along the way. He integrated into the group and really took care of us (helped with bags, pace, getting food, supplies we forgot, etc).Written 15 February 2024
- Pranjwal K0 contributionsGood serviceWe make a plan for poon hill trek then immediately contact with them then our trek start in the morning. Guide govinda was excellent guide and vehicle clean. Highly recommend to all.Written 7 February 2024
- sylviemE7012SN0 contributionsDisappointed tourI made a reservation for Pashupatinath, boudhananath temple, swayambhubath and durbar square. Apparently they mixed 2 tours together and we end up going to guhyeswori + budhanilkantha in extra in exchange of durbar square. We had to almost run on each visit, the driver was in a hurry. we had less and less time to visit around 15 mn and they make us believe we went to monkey temple Swayambhubath but we went to a temple next to it , what a disappointment as that was the one I really wanted to visit. And for Durbar square the bus left us in a middle of nowhere ( we were 2 people who booked this tour ) saying it s straight forward 5 mn away. It took us 25 mn thank you google map as we were lost. Not a good experience, we did not receive the service we pay for.Written 5 February 2024

- sejececil0 contributionsAmazing views and company with Mr. Gobinda!Returned today from a lovely trek to Poon Hill with Mr. Gobinda. A wonderful local guide who will spend hours teaching you the Neplase language, culture, the history and sustainability sorrounding the treks or anything else you might think to ask about. Extremely helpfull, also to bypassers who might ask for directions, knows everyone it seems, and generelly good company. Would love to walk with you again!!
