Saipal Himal Base Camp Trek

Ohh wow, I don't know where to start from. My partner and I have had the trip of our lifes, incredible experience, gteat team behind. Raj tailormade our trip based on our experience, capabilities and also taking note that we are on holiday too. Masive thanks to the team, you guys are incredible Kalina and Barnaby

Raj crafted custom made Annapurna trek for us. ~ 4 days in Kathmandu and Pokahara, and 7 nights in the mountains. Every detail was tended to. From guided tours of the cities' historical sights, to wonderful hotels and tea houses, an excellent crew which consited of a guide we had throughout our stay and 2 porters and a chef when on the trail, and delicious healthy meals. We were thouroughly and thoughfuly taken care of! I cannot express in words the beauty of the mountains. I am already planning on a return trip for a long trek and I will be using Responsible Adventures again

I went on a three week trek to Mount Kailash and back with Raj & a group of seven in 1996. It was the most spectacular and transformative adventure in my life and the other members of the trek. Raj is knowledgeable larger than life character. I highly recommend what he is doing with Responsible Adventures.

Raj, Tikendra (our main guide during our trek) and team were amazing throughout our journey to Everest base camp. They looked after our every need and made sure we completed the trip safely. We loved that Responsible Adventures is a Nepali company and that our fees stayed in Nepal, supporting locals. Raj invests in his employees, creating a better future for them and the country he is so proud of. We’d travel with them again in a heartbeat

Ama Dablam expedition. This is the second time I have been on an expedition through Raj and Responsible Adventures. The whole experience from booking through to the expedition itself was excellent, I can’t fault Raj and his team at all. Our trek leader was brilliant and looked after us so well. Our base camp team were excellent, the food that they provided was of a very high standard and they catered so well for a vegan diet. Thanks to Raj and your team for keeping us well and healthy and ready for the summit! I am already planning the next expedition with Raj.

Jai Ho! Our trip to Mt. Everest Base Camp, landing by Helicopter - was a Spiritual journey for us! It is very hard for me to write something about this trip in words, as It was the moments of beyond any words! I would like to request all, those who wants to do a similar trip to EBC, please go with Responsible Adventures, with Raj-Ji only! The moment you land in Kathmandu, and till the moment you leave, the amount of care filled with a personal touch, a sense of responsibility and with so much love you will get, one cannot imagine. The way Raj ji thought about every aspect of this journey and planned the trip, the way he took care of ALL of us, that, it felt like he considers his travellers as God sent to him! I would recommend everyone, that, if you are thinking of making a trip in this region, it has to be only with Responsible Adventures, with Raj Tamang Ji or under his guidance only! Gratitude to you Raj ji for helping me completeing one of my 'Adhura-Kaarya' in this lifetime! Wishing you success always.. Jai Jai Ho!

My daughter Jessica and I did Responsible Adventures' Sherpa Legends Trek with the company's owner, Raj, and his assistant, Rai Sundar. Both were wonderful hiking companions. The trek turned out to be private as we were the only ones signed up. It was excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a challenging but not difficult trek in the Everest region. Raj was extremely responsive and fully answered all my questions as we went through preparations for the trip at home. Once we arrived in Kathmandu, Raj took us on 2 informative walks through the Old Town area of the city and helped us with exchanging cash and choosing restaurants. The trek itself, as the name suggests, is focused on the sherpa people and their involvement in climbing in the Himalayas. Raj was a fountain of information about this, as well as the history, geography, and wildlife of the area. Each day of hiking was very doable. The lodges chosen by Raj (and the villages in which they were located) in many cases had some connection to sherpas who were famous for their exploits on Everest. One of the reasons we chose Responsible Adventures was their focus on wellness. They consistently made sure our food and drinks had healthy ingredients. Sundar was always in the kitchen at our lunch stops and lodges attending to this. When we returned to Kathmandu, Raj arranged a driver for a day acted as guide for visits to Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square, both impressive historical sights to complete our Nepal experience, one that we will never forget. Thank you, Responsible Adventures!

Three girlfriends and I booked a tailor made 7-day trek in the Annapurna with Responsible Adventures and I don’t think I can adequately articulate how much I loved this trip and our guide, chef, and porters. We’re rather novice trekkers so we had lots of questions during the planning phase. Raj was patient and responsive to our emails about what to pack and what to expect during the trip. Responsible Adventures took care of everything during the trip and we were able to focus on the amazing scenery, people, and experiences. We were met at the airport (at 1 am!) and transported to our hotel to get some much needed sleep. This might seem like a small thing but after 3 long flights, I was grateful not to have to navigate a taxi. Shrijana, our guide, met us in the morning and took such great care of us up until we departed Nepal 10 days later. She shared a yoga practice with us everyday. It was a wonderful way to reflect on the day’s trek and to stretch out the tight hamstrings! The food was delicious and geared toward providing our bodies with the nourishment needed. I can’t remember the last time I felt so healthy and strong. Dil, our chef, took great care in providing safe water and healthy meals and also hot beverages that warmed the body and soul. (I am still trying to replicate the honey and turmeric tea!). Our porters were friendly and sociable, which made me happy. They, without question, out-hiked us but we’d all meet up for lunch and at the tea house for the evening. Responsible Adventures is one of the few companies who provide meals for the porters and staff. How Responsible Adventures provides for their employees was definitely a factor in us deciding to trek with them. If you’re searching for a trek, I hope you consider this too. The trek itself was breathtaking. It was challenging in parts but never too difficult. We never felt rushed and often stopped for photos or to just marvel at the scenery. All in all, trekking in Nepal is amazing and Responsible Adventures made our trip one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

Our "Tailor-made Annapurna Wellness Trek" exceeded our expectations. From the moment we met Shrijana, our guide, to the moment we said "goodbye" to our chef and porters, every detail was in place. We spent 7 days trekking. Our guide not only led us on the trek, but also led us through a daily yoga practice. Our chef provided us with local, healthy, vegetarian meals that were delicious and filling. Our porters were kind and efficient. Our guide was patient with us when we wanted to stop and take in the sights, the animals, the villagers selling their wares, or to adjust our poles, wardrobe, have a snack or anything else. Responsible Adventures focuses on sustainability. They are one of just a handful or trekking companies that provide food for the porters. They ensured we were safe and even went so far as to filter water for us every day so we had safe drinking water. From the moment we started researching this adventure, Responsible Adventures was communicative and answered all of our questions (and we had a LOT of questions).

Extremely ethical Company! Having met and worked with Raj the owner, I booked a tailor-made trek with Responsible Adventures. His ethical approach to both inclusivity and carbon offsetting is so impressive. The company doesn't stop at Carbon neutral; it's carbon negative. I've also just witnessed Raj speaking on a panel at World Travel Market in London. Wow. My girlfriend and I had a fabulous trip in Nepal, valued and looked after by the Responsible Adventures team. Guides, porters, ground staff, cooks all were world class. Responsible Adventures took co everything during the trip. Thank you!
