Incredible Everest Base Camp Trek Experience - My Everest Base Camp Trek with Sole Encounters Adventures was one of the most memorable journeys I have ever taken. The trip was organized very well, and everything from flights to teahouses flowed smoothly. Our Sherpa guide, Mingma, communicated clearly and always kept us safe while sharing deep knowledge of the Khumbu region. The porters were kind and incredibly supportive, and their effort made the long days much easier. The views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam were breathtaking and made every step worthwhile. I truly enjoyed the entire trek, and a huge thanks to the whole team for their excellent service and care from start to finish.

Everest Base Camp Trek That Couldn't Have Gone Better - Luck was definitely on our side when we landed into Kathmandu airport to start the 15 day Everest Base camp Expedition with Sole Encounters Adventures. Months of planning had gone into the trip from our side but even more planning had clearly occurred by Prem, Prashant and the team. The communication from the team was exceptional, Flights had been cancelled prior to our arrival due to rioting in Kathmandu, they communicated about the situation daily. Flights were getting cancelled from Kathmandu to Lukla due to poor weather and visibility. Again excellent communication about options, and local knowledge was key to getting us up to Lukla to start the trek. Everything went flawlessly, Transport was there when needed, Assistance was there when needed, Local Information was there when needed. The trek itself was well timed, we were well fed, looked after at every point, Accommodations was good quality and we finished the trek in high spirits and with days to spare. When i return to Nepal, i will 100% be contacting the team at Sole Encounters Adventures, as they are now more than just tour guides they are friends.

Outstanding EBC & 3 Passes Trek. - An excellent trip from start to finish! Prem and the team were outstanding. Pre-arrival communication was brilliant and provided all the information necessary. On the ground the team couldn’t have been better. Everything ran smoothly throughout and Prem kept us up to speed with what was happening. The group thoroughly enjoyed working with Prem and the boys, who could not have been any more helpful. Sole Encounters are my go to people for visits to Nepal. A total one stop shop. Outstanding.

Everest Base Camp Trek - Our Everest Base Camp trek with Sole Encounters Adventures was exceptional, and everything ran smoothly from the very first briefing in Kathmandu. My Sherpa guide Lakpa was patient, knowledgeable, and always focused on safety, especially on the higher altitude days. The company handled flights, permits, and teahouse arrangements with great care, which allowed me to focus on enjoying the views. Reaching Base Camp felt incredibly rewarding, and the sunrise over Kala Patthar was the highlight of the entire journey. I appreciated how Prashant checked in during the trek to make sure everything was going well. This was a memorable experience that I would gladly recommend to anyone planning the EBC route. See you again for Manaslu Trek thanks

Bucket list ✅ - Amazing team - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Experience – Prem Made It Unforgettable! I booked my trek with Sole Encounters Adventures, and from start to finish it was absolutely outstanding. Our guide, Prem, was the heart of the entire experience. His knowledge of the mountains, his calm confidence, and the way he read the group’s energy made the trek not only enjoyable but genuinely memorable. Prem set the pace perfectly, checked on everyone throughout, and shared brilliant insights about the route, the culture, the villages, and the environment around us. You could tell straight away that he genuinely cares about the people he guides and takes immense pride in what he does. The organisation was flawless—clear communication, smooth transport, great equipment, and thoughtful stops along the way. Every detail felt considered. The scenery was breathtaking, but having Prem lead the adventure made it something special. If you’re thinking of booking with Sole Encounters Adventures, do it—and if you can request Prem, even better. One of the best trekking experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Three High Passes Trek, Challenging and Rewarding - Three High Passes Trek, Challenging and Rewarding The Three High Passes Trek with Sole Encounters Adventures was an incredible test of endurance and scenery. My Sherpa guide, Mingma, navigated Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La with calm confidence and kept the pacing safe for altitude. Prashant checked in often, which made the logistics feel smooth from start to finish. The views from each pass were breathtaking, and the support along the trail made the tough sections manageable. I always felt well looked after, and the experience left me with a deep appreciation for the Himalayas and the amazing team behind this company.
