Incredibly amazing trek in Nepal Himalayas and when it comes to Rara Lake just out of this world aquamarine Lake, can’t explain the beauty in words, I feel so incredibly blessed that I experienced the real Mother Nature, it makes my heart single. Everything was arranged so well by Skyline treks.
A big thank to Mr. Madav Pandey, my trek guide Sanjay C and the support staff who worked greatly to make this trek very valuable memory for me. Big hats off to you Skyline treks and family,
I hope to trek with you guys when I plan my next trek.

Succeeded Rara Lake trek batch in February 2017
United States of AmericaAnnapurna base camp trek was one of the charismatic treks that I have done, besides world’s highest mountain the most significant thing of this trek is every day changing in landscape and surroundings and as well the very important part of this trek is that I joined with professional team of Skyline treks in such landscape.
This trek in Nepal Himalayas was my first trek with Skyline and experiencing the quality of service throughout the trek provided by the company and if I rate this out of 10 I should rate as 9.9. Dheeraz as trek guide gifted by Skyline to our batch, the amount of kindness and hospitality up in the mountains is not enough to recommend for the entire team of Skyline treks.

Done Annapurna Base Camp trek batch in September 2017
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandThe trek in the direction of EBC which Skyline Treks and Expedition bestows us was worthy of attention due to numerous of snow capped mountains along with the massive worlds highest Mt. Everest which is the prime hotspots of the Everest region.
Over all our trek to EBC is almost too good to be true and this credit goes to our competent guide Sanjay who is all the time extremely helpful to us. We would like to urge if someone is seeking for Everest Base Camp trekking in Nepal then please join with sound great company Skyline Treks for your reliable trek and exalting hospitality.
