Review
Mera peak trekking
I joined the 17-days mera peak trekking through Nepal Social Treks. All the plans and schedules are good and strong, including the acclimatisation/rest day or before&after the trekking! My guide Pasang Jangbu Sherpa and my porter Samuel are very supportive from all aspects through the whole trek from day to night. I have experienced a bit of altitude sickness in the trip but my guide got the experience to handle my body condition which makes me more confident in the whole trip. This is a fantastic experience and I will definitely choose this company again for my next nepal trip! Thanks for everything!
This tour was amazing!! 10/10 would recommend. All of my communication with them was prompt and very helpful. For my trek to Khopra Danda it ended up only being myself and my very experienced guide, Lakpa Sherpa, and I felt so taken care of beginning to end. I did not bring enough luggage for a porter to be necessary so I wore my larger backpack during the trek and my guide carried his pack and my day pack. We also made some adjustments to our route due to weather conditions and what my guide thought would provide the best experience and I was grateful we did! The accommodations along the way provided everything you could need and the food was filling and delicious. The hotels in Pokhara and Kathmandu were much nicer than I expected and the taxi trips to and from airports were all well organized and made the trip very easy and comfortable. If you are flying between Kathmandu and Pokhara and want the sky view of the mountains, ask to sit on the right side of the plane when flying to Pokhara and the left side when flying to Kathmandu. You cover a lot of different terrain and climates when trekking in this region! The gear list that Nepal Social Treks sent was very thorough and helpful. I used Aquatabs and a filtering water bottle for drinking water and it worked very well the whole trek and saves the waste of purchasing water along the way. There is power and wifi essentially everywhere you go. I got a SIM card in Kathmandu (the amazing receptionist at the Temple Suites Hotel helped me out!) and it worked well throughout the trek. I would highly recommend Nepal Social Treks and am already thinking about when I can return to Nepal! Thank you!! :)
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does The Whole Paragliding Session Last?
If you are lucky with the weather, the whole experience will take a couple of hours, including meeting, preparing, instructions, and the flight itself. We always do a weather check in the evening and the morning before flying, so we advise you to contact us.
Is There Any Special Equipment Required For Paragliding?
For our tandem glide, we provide all paragliding specific equipment necessary. You will need to bring personal items such as sunglasses, suitable footwear and clothing for a day.
Can I Bring Camera With Me?
Yes. The only requirement is that it must be secured to your person to prevent it from falling during the flight. We do offer in-flight HD video as an option to all our tandem programs. (Ask for details.)
Can I Paraglide If I'm Scared Of Heights?
The aerial view of the lake city witnessed when you are sitting comfortably and gliding in the sky, will make it easier for you to forget about your fear. If you can dream it, you can do it.
