"Everest base camp, Lobuche East and Ama Dablam"
I joined AGA Adventures for a truly memorable trip in October/November 2023. We trekked to EBC as part of a group and I then climbed 2 x 6000m peaks (Lobuche East and Ama Dablam) with 1:1 Sherpa support - I was very lucky to have Gelje Sherpa leading me on these climbs who is an incredibly skilled climber and a very inspiring individual.
From the outset, Adriana was very helpful and pro-active in helping me to plan for this big expedition. She gave me a lot of guidance on gear and very helpfully arranged for some items to be lent to me both in London and Kathmandu. The organisation of the trip in Nepal itself was flawless - everything ran smoothly and the team really went the extra mile to ensure we were all happy and comfortable. We had a great, fun group for the EBC trek and that was a very enjoyable part of the overall experience.
The mountaineering component of the trip was of course a step up in terms of the physical and mental challenges but I felt very well supported throughout by Gelje and the other members of the Sherpa team (including Dawa and Phuri). We continued to have fun despite the more serious nature of this part of the trip. After the trip ended, the Sherpas very kindly took me out for dinner on my birthday in Kathmandu - this was not expected but was very much appreciated!
Overall, I would recommend AGA Adventures at the highest level for any trekking or mountaineering trips you may be planning in Nepal. I felt the whole experience was much more personal than that provided by the bigger, more commercial, companies and of course it was great to be led by Adriana and Gelje who are both legends in the mountaineering world!

"Best trekking company in Nepal!"
In October/November this year I did the E.B.C. trek with AGA Adevntures.
All in all a fantastic trip! Great organization, best accommodations and an excellent atmosphere!
People I didn't know at the time became friends. Adri and Gelje are incredibly inspiring people who did a great job the whole time! I can only heavily recommend AGA Adventures to anyone looking for a trekking guide!
Thanks for the great time and see you again soon.

"Training for Everest with this amazing company"
Firstly, Thanks to the amazing team at AGA I am well on my way to summiting Everest in 2025.
Secondly The team's attention to detail and client care is above expected.
In October 23 I joined a group from all over the world and had never met prior, thanks to AGA the process was smooth on arrival and stayed at a stunning hotel in the heart of KTM. Im glad to call them all friends!
After the brief, warm welcome and a few days to explore the city with pre organised guides who lived in the area and again was well presented and knowledgeable of the history and culture.
The majority of the team planned to do the Everest Basecamp trek and myself and afterwards one other was climbing other mountains in the region. Our successful summit of Lobuche East was an unforgettable experience thanks again to the team.
Climbing with Dawa and Geljie was just amazing. seeing them owning their craft knowing that we was certainly in safe hands.
On the E.B.C trek Adri and Geljie somehow pulled everything together so smoothly, we was on time for the important things and never had to wait longer than five minutes for accommodation, food and beverage or any other extra activities. Their hand picked guides Dawa, Phuri, Lakpa brought the whole experience together, professional at all times and really knew there stuff.
Ultimately If you're looking for trekking guide or to take on exped, AGA is the team to do it with.
Thank you!
see you again soon.

"Trip of a lifetime"
I recently returned from the Everest Base Camp trek, guided by Adri and Gelje from AGA Adventures. Quite simply, it was the best trip I've ever been on. Adri, Gelj, Lakpa, Dawa and Phuri went above and beyond each day to make sure everyone in the group enjoyed the trek and made it successfully to Base Camp (which we all did). The team are some of the most experienced and knowledgeable mountaineers I've come across and It felt a great privaledge to be guided by them. They have some of the most fascinating stories of climbing Everest, K2 and other 8000m peaks, we were all in awe listening.
The accomodation provided in Kathmandu at the very start of the trip was superb and the chosen tea houses we stayed in during the trek continually exceeded my expectations (especially given the remoteness of some of the areas we visited).
Food options were varied and Adri was kind to give her own recommendations which was super helpful for someone who'd not tried Nepalise food before.
With regards to the trek itself, we were fortunate to have blue bird weather conditions and incredible views of the mountains and wildlife each and every day.
In terms of physical effort, the trek got more difficult as the altitude increased but with the rest days included, this felt fairly gradual. The distances covered was totally manageable as we had plenty of breaks and photos stops. We were a group of mixed abilities - some days we stayed together and others we naturally split into a smaller groups. I loved the fact i could chose if i wanted to take a more relaxed pace or push myself a little.
The day we made it to Base Camp was the highlight of the trip. We celebrated together with Adri, Gelje and the team and they gave us a well deserved beer to drink when we got back to the tea house!! That day will be a memory that stays with me forever.
On returning to Kathmandu, Adri went on to help organise accommodation for the extra days I'd booked there. She gave sightseeing and restaurant recommendations, which after a tiring last few days, i appreciated so much.
I would 100% recommend AGA Adventures, so much so I'm already looking into my next trek with them, hopefully Mt. Kilimanjaro next year.

"Everest base camp"
Had a amazing time in Nepal for the Everest base camp adventure. AGA planned it well for our trip from day 1. Would recommend to go with AGA on any of the adventure that it has to offer. Professionalism at its highest. Thank you AGA

"Doing the Annapurna trek with AGA…"
Doing the Annapurna trek with AGA Adventures was a life changing experience which I will forever treasure in my heart. Meeting Adri and Gelje and hearing about their experiences on the mountains and their passion for what they do made it even more special. The beautiful scenery every day and the clean and colorful tea houses added to the experience as well as the food which was presented in such a proud way. The humble and peaceful lifestyle of the Nepali people touched my heart and I wouldn’t have been able to experience this if it wasn’t for the trek. We also bonded so well with our guide and porters. Now I have my photos and memories, but I will be back!
