Latest Trip Review

First of all, I would like to thank the entire team of Footprint Adventure for making my dreams come true. Me and my friends were very skeptical about the entire trip to Bhutan. But since we had already done a trip with Footprint before we knew we could trust them entirely. the trip was nothing short of magical. From the moment we landed in Paro, the country stunned me. The itinerary was perfectly planned.

The highlight of my trip was the hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery. The challenging climb was so rewarding when I saw the monastery. Like how is it physically possible to build something like that?

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Sharan, Madhav, and Ganesh for their excellent guidance and care. From the moment we decided to book the trip we knew we were making the right choice because they were so thorough with everything. I could call them anytime and they would pick up. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. Our guide Pema was a sweetheart. His passion for Bhutan was infectious, and they made me feel like a part of the local community. We really didn't have to worry about a single thing. the only thing that we had to do was be present and have a blast. The culture, the way of life in Bhutan is like time traveling in the past. 

I highly recommend Footprint Adventure for anyone planning a trip to Bhutan. They offer exceptional value and personalized service! Thank you guys...

What a dream come true! Finally being able to visit Nepal this year and it was made so special travelling with Footprint Adventure. From the moment I arrived till we parted ways, Footprint Adventure was always there to guide and assist. They were always responsive via emails during the planning of the trip. Being guided by the incomparable Ganesh was also a treat! He was knowledgeable and resourceful and always making sure that I was well taken care of. The team that accompanied me throughout - Ram, Prakash, Bhoj, Mina were a great bunch to hang out and hike with. Not forgetting Sharan, who was very welcoming and included me in their company’s anniversary celebrations as well! I highly recommend travelling with Footprint Adventure - they’re a bunch of good, kind and friendly people, wanting to do some good along the way too.

I was frantically looking for a Trekking agency to guide a group of two, for off season trek to EBC. A friend suggested to contact Sharan Karki, E.D. of Footprint Adventure. Over the phone, he answered all my trek related queries unconditionally and also offered the options available so that I can decide how I intend to do the trek. Upon his recommendation, I decided to go for a 12 day trek. Even in his absence, Ganesh took over to guide me through with the preparation. Even after I embarked on the trek, he constantly called to know my status (as I told them I am very prone to A.S.).

The agency provided me with a very reliable porter Mr. Arun Magar, who lived up to my every expectation. Among the two, my brother was like a hare and I a tortoise :D , but Arun still managed to be by our sides when needed. Arun’s attentive and proactive traits helped me reach EBC and scale Kalapathar despite being hit by A.S. at Pangboche (Day 5).

On the last leg of our trek, as we were late to reach Lukla, Sharan did the confirmation of our return flight, which led to our timely return possible.
Their courtesy doesn’t end there. A few days later, Ganesh visited me at the office to drop off a certificate of successful completion and a souvenir (Printed coffee mug with me at EBC).

I have nothing but admiration towards the very dedicated and motivated team of Footprint Adventure for providing unparalleled support from the beginning till the very end of my EBC Winter Trek, 2023 and will highly recommend to those who intend to trek in Nepal.

Cheers!!

Let me tell you, Bhutan was a total dream come true! The mountains? Forget about it. They were like something out of a fairytale. I mean, I've seen pictures, but nothing can really prepare you for how unreal it is in person. And don't even get me started on the hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery. It was tough, no doubt, but totally worth it. The view from the top? Mind-blowing.

The people there were absolute sweetest. I felt like I was part of one big, happy family. They were always smiling, always helpful, and genuinely interested in sharing their culture with us. I had the best guide in the world.. Pasang! he made me feel like we knew each other for years. I learned so much about their traditions, and their food. I tried all sorts of local food. Some of it was a bit weird, I won't lie, but most of it was delicious. And the chili peppers? Holy moly! I've never tasted anything like it. But hey, that's part of the adventure, right?

A huge shoutout to Footprint Adventure for making this trip so unforgettable! Sharan and Madhav were absolutely fantastic. They made everything so easy! They made sure i was comfortable at all times and always went the extra mile to make mt experience special.

Overall, Bhutan was just one of those places that steals a piece of your heart. It's not just a destination, it's an experience. If you ever get the chance to go, don't think twice. Just book that ticket!

I decided to partner with Footprint for my 3 Passes trek, my third trek with them after NarPhu and Manaslu circuit. The guide (Abhishek) was great - very knowledgable and friendly, and the planning meticulous - seamless booking at all guest homes despite repeated changes in itinerary due to bad weather. Overall, a great trip and I'm looking forward to my fourth trip with Footprint soon :-)

In May, my husband and I embarked on a 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp with Footprint, guided by the best tour guide, Abhishek Dhital. This was an unforgettable journey. Footprint organized everything impeccably from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed at the airport with Nepalese flowers, followed by a delightful welcome dinner at a Nepalese restaurant with live music. This allowed us to meet our guide in a wonderful setting.

The trek itself was incredible and extraordinary. The natural beauty of the Himalayas transports you to another world, an experience unlike any other we have had on our previous travels. Evenings were spent in tea houses, where we would prepare for the next day's journey with our guide and porter, enjoying engaging conversations and fun card games.

Our guide, Abhishek, was exceptional, always motivating us to push ourselves and complete the trek successfully. His encouragement was a key factor in our achievement. Overall, I highly recommend planning a trip with Footprint, even if you are exploring other parts of Nepal. After our Everest Base Camp trek, we arranged a last-minute trip to Pokhara through Footprint, which was also superbly organized.

Thank you, Footprint and Abhishek, for an unforgettable adventure!

Me and my husband did a 14-day Yala peak last spring in Nepal with Footprint Adventure. From day 1, Ganesh welcomed us with local garland at the airport. The next day, we had an awesome UNESCO Heritage site tour in Kathmandu with Guide Prakash. He is very knowledgeable about the sites. Then, we went to the cultural dinner. The next day, our guide Laxman came to pick us up at the hotel and we drove to Syabrubesi village. It's a hectic drive but we enjoyed it.

From the day until we make it to the top of the Yala Peak, our guide makes sure that we are safe, acclimatized, and healthy. He served us daily meals, refilled our bottles with water filters, and served fresh fruits during the dinner. Our climbing guide was excellent and had climbed Everest 3 times. He made sure we made it to the top and down safely to the Kyanjin village. The trail is up and down and hard sometimes to walk but we enjoyed everything here in Nepal. Thank you Footprint Adventure for this amazing adventure. We'll come to Island Peak with EBC next time. 

I had the best time on my trek with Footprint! They truly care about you and will make any necessary changes to ensure your trip meets your needs. My trek was with Ashish, who was more than just a guide he was a fantastic companion. He explained a lot about the area, took some amazing photos, and even surprised me with sound healing meditation and a massage. When I got sick, he took great care of me. If you're considering a trip to Nepal, don't hesitate to contact them. You won't regret it!
