Reviews
★★★★★Sarah Mitchell · United Kingdom · October 2024“Standing at Base Camp, looking up at the Khumbu Icefall, I realised this was not just a trek — it was the experience that divided my life into before and after. Tenzing and the TrekTrove team made every step feel safe, purposeful, and genuinely extraordinary. I have trekked in five countries. This was something else entirely.”

★★★★★Rajesh Karmacharya · Nepal · November 2024“As a Nepali who grew up in Pokhara, I thought I knew these mountains intimately. TrekTrove showed me corners of my own country I had never visited, connected me with communities I did not know existed, and gave me a new appreciation for the Himalayas I call home. The guides are extraordinary people.”

★★★★★Emma and Daniel Kowalski · Poland · July 2024“Lo Manthang at dawn, with the entire walled city quiet except for the sound of monks chanting in Thubchen Gompa. Nothing prepares you for that moment. Nothing we write here does it justice. We came as tourists and left as people who understood, at least a little, why the kingdom kept itself hidden for so long. TrekTrove — thank you for making this possible.”
