Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Many thanks again to our Friends Adventure Team for the fantastic support during our Manaslu trekking in October 2023. During the hikes you supported us with our luggage, with good guidance and explained the unique mountain world. In the evening you introduced us to your inspiring culture with your Nepali dances. Many thanks for everything to Kancha, Raju, Karma, Pauan and Ramesch.

I highly recommend Friends Adventure Team for all your trekking or high mountain projects. I was lucky to have Venn Dong as my guide for my trek in Langtang Park. He adapted to my needs, modifying the planned route when necessary. He took great care to introduce me to Tamang and Tibetan cultures, and to show me the particularities of the landscapes and nature that we can encounter there. Thanks to Venn Dong, I was able to reach the peaks of Kyanji Ri and Tserko Ri, I am very grateful to him. Thanks for everything, Venn Dong.

We wanted to make a trek in Nepal with my family and we chose Friends Adventure Team to organize it. They did an incredible job for our 10 days trek around the Annapurna mountains.
Always caring and smiling, providing very good advices during the trek. Sometimes they took us apart from the main touristic trails so that we could enjoy amazing landscapes peacefully such as a lake at the bottom of the mountains or a view on the entrance of the Mustang ! I would defenitely recommand this team !

Everything was perfect. All the team was very efficient, smiling and taking care of us each time we need. And as Dabindra speaks also french, it’s easier for me to understand. Lodges and walking were very well organized. Unforgetable trip !!

Coming to Nepal is like traveling to another reality in the best sense. Many of you are familiar with stories about the Everest conquest, but it is also worth it for the magical nature, fantastic people, and amazing culture.
We did not follow the mainstream and visited Nepal in December, which turned out to be both an advantage and an adventure. Being there off-season, we were able to move around with no queues on the trails, with plenty of space in every guesthouse, restaurant, or sightseeing place, but, what is most important, we enjoyed the pleasant temperature during the days. Adventurous were nights spent in appropriate thickness sleeping bags without heating in the room, but they were followed by the mornings with waking up clear mind and fully recharged. Amazing feeling!
With the help of Rajendra Bahadur Lama, who is well-known in Nepal after his selfless activities after the earthquake in 2016, and his fantastic team: the guide Dabindra Tamang and a porter Khusiman, we explored a 5 day Anapurna Balcony trip. There were heartbreaking sunsets and sunrises at the foot of Dhaulagiri (8172m), Anapurna (8091m), and Machapuchare (6993m), we climbed through fairy forests listening to exotic bird songs, meeting wild deers and Nepalese gray long-tailed monkeys. But most exciting were meeting local inhabitants of tiny villages - 94 years old smoking real beauty queen in Gandaki, funny raksi (traditional rural alcohol) master near Tolka, a lovely farming couple on the terraces of Ghandrung offered degustation of sweet tomatoes right from the trees), a lonely old man in a tidiest house ever in remote house somewhere in the middle from Toka to Dhampus, his just prepared pickle right from the pot was really marvelous.
Without Dabi and Kushi we would never meet these fantastic simple mountaineers who all let us think of the real values in our lives: heartfulness, truth, and compassion.
The real Buddha can be found in these humans' eyes, even not so much in beautifully decorated monasteries or temples that are all around them.
Nepal has become one of the brightest gems in the necklace of my life trips.
For your own dream trip to Nepal please contact Friends Adventure Team Pvt. Ltd. Why not in December?
I more than suggest it.
Cheers!

We asked Friends Adventure Team to organise our trip in Nepal with Annapurna trekking. They planned an amazing program, all the trip was very smooth, well organised, nice places to see (they brought us to a lake during the trek that was stunning) and the team was the best ! Very nice, caring and smiling, they made everything to make us feel good !
I highly recommend this team !!

I used a guide from a different company, but he wasn’t very sociable and I was a solo traveller. Dabi and his clients were very welcoming and invited me to join them which was really kind. Went above and beyond even though I wasn’t a client!

We booked a trip with Friends Adventure to do a 10 day trek in community lodges in the Annapurna Region. We booked with them because already friends of mine did a trek with them and only spoke highly about them. We were already picked up by our guide Kancha at the airport and he brought us to our hotel in Kathmandu. The hotel was very central, clean and had good breakfast.
The second day we met Rajendra and our porter Lalbier. Both were very nice and Rajendra explained us the trek and everything.
We started the trek in Pokhara and Kancha and Lalbier were amazing. Lalbier is so strong and when I felt bad, he even carried my day-pack. Kancha has so much knowledge and explains the culture and the tradition of Nepal in such great detail and with enthusiasm it makes you happy to listen. You can feel both of their passion for their job. When I started to get stomache-problems, they were super flexible and helpful. They took amazing care of us and I would definitely recommend them to everybody.
We were extremly happy with the trek - we saw how the Nepalese live in the mountains, how they grow their food and how they prepare for the winter. We saw Annapurna 1 and Fishtail and the 7th highest mountain in the world. The view was stunning and the lodges were nice. Kancha made always sure we got proper food and that everything is clean.
Both, Kancha and Lalbier did an amazing job and I am glad we booked with them :) Next time we would do the 3 high passes in the Everest Region and I would only do it with them :)

Prior to our trip and from day 1 onwards Rajendra from friends adventure team looked after us amazingly- truly a one of a kind beautiful human, always happy and caring, once again we are so grateful to have met you and trekked with your company ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We completed the 3 passes trek clockwise from Namche Bazar, and then island peak after the last pass and EBC, our professional guide Ven and 2 amazing porters Hawka and Jiban looked after us every step of the way, kept the pace steady yet enough time to take everything in.
An amazing boyhood dream fulfilled with beautiful views from Kalapathar of Everest and mountains under her shadow.
I will definitely return to complete Island Peak (made it to 6100m this time) and maybe attempt another mountain as well.
I highly recommend the friends adventure team to anyone trekking/climbing in Nepal.
Again so so grateful, much love from my partner and I from Australia 🇦🇺 to your families and beautiful country.

I truly recommend to choose this company for your Nepal experience. Very grateful to Rajendra who professionally and successfully organised and monitored the whole trekking/climbing trip providing gear and total support. They are all very kind supportive and professional.
They have been taking good care of us from the start to the end.
I felt very safe and well guarded during the most difficult parts of our climbing.
Also a special thank you to our guide Venn Dong who has great skills and experience. He makes sure regardless of what level of expertise and fitness he finds you to be able to complete safely the journey.
Namaste 🙏
