Island Peak was my first Himalayan climbing adventure, and I’m so glad I chose Actual Adventure for it. Sushil Tiwari, the manager, was incredibly organized and genuinely cared about our safety and comfort. He helped me plan flights, gear, and insurance ahead of time. The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing me to enjoy both the cultural side of the Everest region and gradually build up to summit day. Our guide was certified and clearly experienced with thousands of meters under his boots. He reviewed safety techniques and rope skills in a relaxed but serious manner. On summit day, the climb was demanding—especially the headwall section—but I always felt supported. The sherpas even shared tea during our rest break halfway up. The moment I reached the top was emotional and empowering. Actual Adventure took care of everything: meals, permits, logistics, and even helped carry extra gear when I got tired. After descending, Mr. Sushil welcomed us in Kathmandu and gifted each climber a framed photo of the summit — a personal touch I’ll never forget. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for Island Peak or any Himalayan climb.

Climbing Island Peak was a life goal, and I chose Actual Adventure based on their excellent communication. Mr. Sushil Tiwari was the first to reply among five agencies I contacted. His professionalism and honesty won my trust. The pricing was fair and clearly outlined what was included — no hidden costs! On the ground, the team was just as impressive. Our Sherpa guide, Pema, was patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. We had great accommodations at teahouses and clean tents at Island Peak Base Camp. Actual Adventure provided sleeping bags, down jackets, and climbing gear as promised. The summit day was hard with steep snow and rope climbing, but the guide ensured we moved safely and efficiently. I summited around 7:00 AM, and the views were worth every ounce of effort. The logistics — from meals to oxygen checks and radio contact — were top-notch. Post-climb, we had a guided tour of Kathmandu and a farewell dinner arranged by Sushil himself. I felt respected and appreciated as a client. If you’re looking for a trustworthy company to help you climb Island Peak, go with Actual Adventure. They're experienced and passionate about mountains.

I had always dreamed of standing atop a Himalayan peak, and Island Peak offered the perfect mix of challenge and beauty. Actual Adventure, managed by the efficient and kind-hearted Mr. Sushil Tiwari, delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. The trek up to Island Peak was gradual and scenic. Our guide allowed for acclimatization hikes and provided clear information every day. The pre-climb training at Chhukung was invaluable for a first-time climber like me. They taught us how to walk on ice, use crampons, and fix harnesses. Summit day was intense and started at 1:00 AM, but we were guided step-by-step. The rope sections were steep but secure, and safety was clearly the team's priority. I reached the summit in six hours and stood among snow-covered giants—it was an emotional moment. The equipment was top-notch, and the base camp meals were surprisingly hearty and warm. After we returned to Kathmandu, Mr. Sushil organized a small celebration dinner for us. I couldn’t have asked for more! For anyone new to climbing but ready for a real challenge, I strongly recommend Actual Adventure. You’ll be in expert hands.

I joined a group climb for Island Peak through Actual Adventure, and the service exceeded all expectations. Mr. Sushil Tiwari, the manager, was helpful right from the start. He explained the permit process, altitude training needs, and gave a very transparent cost breakdown. The trek from Lukla through Namche and Chhukung was breathtaking, and we were given enough time to adjust to the altitude. Our climbing guide had years of experience and kept us well-informed and motivated. The climb from Island Peak Base Camp started early and was physically challenging but doable. The use of crampons and fixed ropes was explained in advance, and we had a short practice session at Chhukung which was extremely helpful. We summited just after sunrise and were blessed with crystal-clear views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. The team also provided high-quality tents, meals, and hot drinks even at high altitudes, which was a pleasant surprise. What I appreciated most was the post-climb care. Mr. Sushil personally met us in Kathmandu to hear our feedback. That personal connection and commitment to quality really makes a difference. I highly recommend Actual Adventure to anyone considering peak climbing in Nepal.

Island Peak was my first real mountain expedition, and I couldn’t have asked for a better company than Actual Adventure. From my first email, Mr. Sushil Tiwari was incredibly responsive and reassuring. He provided detailed information about permits, acclimatization, gear, and insurance. Once in Nepal, everything was smooth — airport pickup, hotel booking, and briefing were on time. The trek to Everest Base Camp, followed by the climb to Island Peak, was well-paced. Our guide, Dawa Sherpa, was skilled and safety-conscious. We had two acclimatization days, which really helped. The summit push was tough but unforgettable. Fixed ropes were well managed, and the support team ensured our gear was properly fitted. Reaching the top of Island Peak with the backdrop of Lhotse and Ama Dablam was surreal. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to transition from trekking to mountaineering. Actual Adventure knows how to take care of international clients, and Sushil personally checked in with us after the summit. The professionalism, logistics, and mountain expertise made this a perfect Himalayan adventure. Thank you, team!

My Kailash pilgrimage from Mumbai was filled with doubts, especially concerning health and high altitude. But Kedar bhai from Actual Adventure handled everything like a brother — from guiding us through immigration in Kathmandu to arranging Indian meals at the base camp in Tibet. Their knowledge of Hindu customs and seamless coordination made it an experience filled with devotion and peace. If you’re from Mumbai and planning your Kailash yatra, this is your team.”

“This pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar had been a dream for years. We found Actual Adventure through a friend in Durban, and Kedar immediately stood out with his personal approach. He assisted us with Chinese permits, arranged oxygen support, trained sherpas, and ensured we had access to medical backup. His dedication helped make our spiritually intense journey physically manageable. This was not just a trip — it was a deep connection with the divine.”

I recently had the privilege of taking the Lumbini and Kapilavastu tour, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we landed in Bhairahawa, everything was seamlessly arranged. The drive to Lumbini was comfortable, and arriving at the birthplace of Lord Buddha felt like stepping into a sacred sanctuary.
The Maya Devi Temple and the beautifully designed monasteries from around the world were breathtaking. Each site offered a unique perspective on Buddhism, and the serene atmosphere was perfect for quiet reflection.
Exploring Kapilavastu was equally fascinating. Walking through the ancient ruins and imagining the early life of Prince Siddhartha was a deeply moving experience. Devdaha and Ramgram added even more depth to the trip, with their rich historical and religious significance.
Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the history and spirituality of these sites. The entire journey was well-organized, and every detail was thoughtfully planned.
If you're looking for a blend of history, spirituality, and tranquility, this tour is an absolute must. I came away with a renewed sense of peace and a deeper appreciation for Nepal's incredible Buddhist heritage.

In Nepal, there are thousands travel agencies, most of them are good 👍. But, 4 years ago I’ve chosen Actual Aventure for Putha Hiunchuli and now I continue choosing it for my Annapuna Circut and Upper Mustang (Nov 2024) and definitely for Langtang circuit in 2025. Company itself cannot make things happen and perfect. Mr Kedar, the director, has making things different than other companies with his slogan “Customers at the Core”👍👍. I love the way Actual Adventure taking care its customers, I loved and appreciate the supper support from Jun (the guide) and Sitaram (the porter) to help me completely my trekking this time (i am a cancer patient, stage 3).

I did this activity last October 19, 2024. My guide was Rameshwor. It was a day full of activities . So much to learn in such a short time ( in a good way). My awesome guide Rameshwor was very informative. He was very passionate about telling me the history of the different landmarks we went to. He talks fast trying to give me all the information at each places. There were times I didn’t understand what he was trying to convey but he was easy to talk to and didn’t mind repeating himself. He made sure that I was having a great time. I didn’t feel rushed and despite a packed activity, he never showed being tired and showed enthusiasm the whole time. Thanks Rameshwor!

The route to Gokyo was amazing and so was the destination. Chandra and Sum made it a great and safe experience! They can customise the experience to your level of fitness and can accommodate all your requests as long as its safe.
Chandra was my guide and knowing he has done this many hundred of times gave me a lot of confidence to follow his suggestions.
The most important part was the relationship. Very trustworthy, very transparent, very thoughtful … was like a brother.
Thank you Chandra and Sum for a life experience.

I just finished an unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp trek in Nepal. The snow-capped mountains were breathtaking, and the facilities along the trail were very well-equipped.Kumar was our amazing guide for the Annapurna Base Camp trek in Nepal, and we couldn't have asked for a better one. He's super patient, enthusiastic, and speaks Nepali, English, and Chinese. He took care of everything at each campsite, making our trip super smooth. If I go back to Nepal, I'll definitely hire Kumar and his team again. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a trek there.

The tour was well worth the price, providing a comfortable vehicle, an experienced guide, and a memorable experience. I would absolutely book with Actual Adventure again for future tours in Nepal. Highly recommended!

I recently took the one-day Kathmandu UNESCO Tour with Actual Adventure, and it was absolutely incredible! Kedar, the owner, made sure everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The tour covered iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath, and Boudhanath.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and provided fascinating insights into the history and culture of each site. I felt like I gained a deep appreciation for Kathmandu's rich heritage. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was seamless.
Kedar personally checked in with us before and after the tour, which added a lovely personal touch. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Kathmandu's historical and cultural gems in a short time. Thank you, Actual Adventure!

I enjoyed my Luxury Annapurna Adventure trek with Actual Adventure. It was an 11-day trek. I stayed at a luxury hotel in Kathmandu and Pokhara, which was very satisfying. Though there were basic accommodations in teahouses along the route, as I paid for luxury, they provided me with a VIP room and similar food standards. During sightseeing visits in Pokhara and Kathmandu, I felt very comfortable and luxurious in the vehicle they provided. Thank you, Mr. Kedar Neupane, for operating the best package for me. #luxurytravel
