There are so many trekking companies in Nepal and through TripAdvisor I narrowed it down to Discovery World Trekking. Picked up the phone and spoke to Paul. They provided information and is easily contacted. I am finally doing my solo 13 day EBC trek with a guide and porter.

 

Got picked up on the 11-Oct-2018 from the airport and taken to my hotel in Thamel area. Met with Paul at his office the next day for final payment and instructions about the trek. Started my trek on the 13-Oct-2018, got picked up from my hotel and driven to the domestic airport for the morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.

 

There I met my guide Prem and porter Pradeep. Helpful, knowledgeable and fun. Cater for all the accomodation, food and your needs while on the trek and at the many tea houses. Also there is regular contact with base - Paul with updates. Yes we made it to ECB, really over the moon about it. As he said earlier when we first met, “he treats all his clients as family” and this really shone through. For this I am very thankful and will not hesitate recommending Discovery World Trekking.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp was truly one of the highlights of my life. Making it all the better was the fantastic crew at Discovery World Trekking. Our porters and guide were not only accommodating—but also pleasant, witty, and ever attentive to our needs.

If you’re planning to do this trek, definitely ask for a detailed itinerary ahead of time. It helped me train and feel more ready—but also, be ready to go with the flow because weather and trail conditions can shift quickly.

Some of my favorite memories? The views (of course), dancing and laughing with the porters, and hot tea at the end of a long hiking day—especially the lemon ginger and masala flavors. If you are planning on trekking in Nepal, I strongly recommend Discovery World Trekking.

From the very beginning, Paul was incredibly responsive, helpful, and answered all the questions I had about the Everest Base Camp trek. He even video-called me via WhatsApp to walk through the itinerary and made sure I felt fully prepared before the journey began. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, the Discovery World Trekking team welcomed me at the airport, which set the tone for a well-organized adventure.

 

The EBC trek itself was nothing short of life-changing. My guide was absolutely phenomenal—professional, kind, and endlessly supportive. His energy and knowledge kept me motivated every single day, and his positive attitude made the entire experience even more memorable.

 

One of the highlights was standing at the top of Kala Patthar at sunrise—it’s a moment I’ll carry with me forever. Thank you, Paul, thank you, and thank you, Discovery World Trekking, for an experience I’ll never forget!

I had a thrilling adventure with Discovery World Trekking. The Mount Everest Base Camp trek was challenging, but the support and encouragement from our guide made it easier.

 

The views along the trail were simply breathtaking, making every step worth it. The company's organization and attention to detail were commendable. The only reason I didn't give them a full five stars is that some of the accommodations were basic. Overall, it was an amazing trekking experience, and I would recommend Discovery World Trekking to adventure enthusiasts.

What an amazing, rewarding journey on the Annapurna Circuit Trek. We were paired with the best guide Hari and porter/soon-to-be guide Milan for our trek. They were both so attentive and helpful before and during our time together starting with a 2am airport pickup. Paul, the owner, kept in regular contact with us before and during the trek to ensure we were content and happy. We decided against going to the lake because of weather issues, but Hari gave us options to make up for the extra time. We are so lucky to have them with us and are grateful for the many laughs, adventures, and joy shared all together. Even through the bitter cold, Hari kept us smiling and motivated and would often surprise us with a trail staple - Oreos!! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else & need to come back for another trek with them! If possible, request Hari and Milan for your treks!!! You won’t regret it.

There's something about walking through the middle of the Himalayas, with the giant peaks looming above and the silent power of nature all around you. My trip to Everest Base Camp with Discovery World Trekking was more than a vacation—it was like visiting another world.

From the beginning, the group made all of it easy. The guide wasn't only knowledgeable but also clearly devoted to the region, relating stories that brought each village and mountain pass to life. The porters were incredible—smiling always, always eager, and truly the heart of our group.

If you’re looking for a company that’s professional, passionate, and genuinely cares, Discovery World Trekking is it. This was an experience I’ll carry with me forever.

My adventure trekking the Everest Three Passes with Discovery World Trekking, led by CEO Paul Gurung, was truly remarkable. From my first contact with them, Paul and his team offered exceptional support and guidance, ensuring I was well-prepared for the challenging journey ahead.

The trek itself was an unforgettable experience, filled with awe-inspiring views of the Himalayas and leading us through some of the most remote and stunning landscapes in the region. Our guide's expertise and leadership were invaluable.  He ensured our safety and enjoyment throughout the trek.

The accommodations and meals provided were decent. It gave us comfort and nourishment after each day's trekking. Thanks to Paul, I conquered the Everest Three Passes and made memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking an adventurous and fulfilling trekking experience.

Everest was something I always wanted to do, but never dreamed that it would take such an emotional trip to get there. Discovery World Trekking did not only take me to base camp—they made me feel part of something bigger at every step of the way.

What hit me most wasn't the views themselves (breathtaking though they were) or the feat of reaching base camp (which still gives me goosebumps)—it was the other humans. The guides and porters were laid-back, confident, and genuinely enthusiastic about their jobs.

I am glad I chose Discovery World Trekking. If what you are looking for is a trek that is more about reaching a place, but is instead an experience that you treasure, then choose Discovery World Trekking.

I cannot thank Paul enough for the wonderful Everest base camp trek with Gokyo Ri. Going with the Discovery World Trekking team was the best decision I could have made. From the moment I landed in Nepal, I felt welcomed and supported. The trek itself was a perfect blend of challenge and beauty.

 

The carefully selected routes allowed us to witness breathtaking vistas, and the experienced guide shared interesting stories about the region's history and culture. I am grateful to Discovery World Trekking for making it possible. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for an unforgettable trekking experience.

Being married, we've done our share of traveling—but nothing compares to the adventure of our journey to Everest Base Camp with Discovery World Trekking. It wasn't a holiday; it was an experience that was a milestone for both of us in our life.

Right from the start, the DWT team made it all so easy. They recognized our varied paces, left us room to enjoy the trek as a couple, and yet continued to keep us going safely and with confidence. Our guide was more like a friend—constantly checking in, encouraging us, and telling us stories that brought the mountains to life.

There were times of silence where we both would stop and simply absorb it all together. We laughed hard, pushed one another gently when one of us needed it, and were wiser for having done it with one another at our side.

Trekking to base camp was a dream come true, but doing it with Discovery World Trekking—and doing it together—made it truly unforgettable. We’ll be talking about this one for the rest of our lives.

Despite being in our sixties, my brother and I found the Himalayan trek to be a breeze, thanks to Discovery World Trekking. We had an enjoyable time throughout the trek, and our guide was both knowledgeable and supportive in every aspect of the trip. Having had numerous experiences over the years, I can confidently say that this one ranks among the best!

Paul, I cannot say Thank you enough. You and your team made this journey the turning point of my life. I feel mentally more alive after doing this Everest three-pass trek. The warm hospitality of the local communities we encountered along the way made the journey even more memorable. Paul truly knows how to create an immersive and unforgettable adventure, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a remarkable trekking experience.
