There are a lot of restaurants with different cuisine in city but during the trek we get to eat from Continental and Nepali menu especially choices like Pasta, Pizza, Mo. Mo, soup items, Potatoes items, Dal Bhat, Hot drinks Tea & Coffee etc
We are very much concern about the comfort of our guest and whenever it is about the staffs in the mountains field. When we are on trek through challenging routes we need proper number of workers like Guide, porter, assistance guide, Camping crew and other staffs. We provide 1 assistance guide with every 4 - 8 guests and 2 assistance guide with 9 guests.

We have focused more on acclimatization days to get rid of altitude sickness too.
Autumn (September - November) and Spring (March - May) is the best trekking season for the trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate which offers beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring collects beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals Walking is also very much suitable during this season.
Summer (June - August) and Winter (December - February). Though Summer collects heavy monsoon rainfall it is very much clear to trek around Upper Mustang Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek and Nar- Phu valley Trek since they are rain shadow areas. Tibet is much more favorable for Tibet trek. Everest Gokyo Lake Trek, Langtang Gosaikunda Trek and Annapurna Tilicho Lake Trek are always comfortable to trek even in winter season.
Trekking in Nepal for Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek does not require past experience, though we have challenging route in Everest compared to Annapurna our itinerary suggests to walk comfortable distances. Trekking in Himalayas always takes us to challenging altitudes and rocky routes, demands proper rest time and acclimatization to sustain their strength. We always have both listed properly in our itinerary. However certain training like Running, Skipping and other workout will definitely help you in roots.
Altitude sickness is a significant risk when trekking on any trails above about 2,500 m. However good health, proper care and drinking plenty of water will definitely help you to prevent from altitude sickness. Every trekkers needs to be familiar with the heights so, for this we have life saving acclimatization days during the trek, peak climbing and expedition. We also provide certain medical support for your relief and emergency rescue through helicopter whenever guest require.
We only leave foot prints. We are very much concerning agency to protect environment pollution and Global Warming.

We also partake in every program conducted in KEEP Kathmandu Environmental Education Project. We also suggest all travelers to protect our environment and Stop Global Warming.
We will manage tailor-made program for every itinerary as much as possible. The days to increase or decrease in the itinerary with flexibility depending on your holiday time and schedule.

Mount Island Peak Climbing is the best in Spring March to May would be best suitable time for Island Peak in doing an adventure of Island Peak expedition in the eastern part of Nepal.
we should tell you the truth for the any Climbing / expedition in the mountains you must feel good and positive way also another point you should have enough time to climbing during expedition period because of Bad weather, insufficient crew there will be a part of unsuccessful point so do not look cheaper organization and short period of time could be happen anything in the mountains so you must be prepared every step of adventure our team will lead to complete your dream come true.
Mount Island Peak in winter (December to February)
Winter is definitely for the more experienced trekker. The weather is unpredictable, and trails can change in hours due to snow. The sky will most likely be clear, and the scenery changes daily as snow drifts in. On the positive side, fewer trekkers will be on the trail and lodges. But if this is for you, let’s discuss the possibilities as lodges often close for the winter as locals go down to lower altitudes to wait out the cold so honestly inform you everyone winter is more dificult for high mountains above 6000 meters climb because of high risk so choose the best time of the year Autumn / Spring for Island Peak Climbing recommendable.
The different between Peak climbing and Expeditions are a level of Mountains height so six thousands to six thausands nine hundread ninty nine meters mountains are categorised for Peak Climbing and above seven thausands to eight thausands eight hundread fourty eight meters peaks are categorised in Expedition. Nepal is famous for Mountaineering activities with different types of record holding by Climbing Sherpa generally scale the peaks above the mark of 6,000 meters starting with world highest Mountain in Nepal. Mt. Everest (8848m), Kanchenjunga (8586 m), Mt. Manaslu , Annapurna (8091m), Pumo Ri (7165 m), and Ama Dablam (6856 m) many more Mountain expeditions in Nepal

France, 7th December, 2022Gokyo Lake, Everest Base Camp, Island Peak Climb
Souhaitant partir au Nepal pour un long trek de 3 semaines, un ami m'a conseillé Himalaya Magic treks. Parti confiant, j'ai rencontré une équipe chaleureuse avec le souci constant de mon bien-être dès mon arrivée.
Mon accompagnateur, Dipak est un homme avec qui le contact a été immédiatement chaleureux. Une vraie complicité est née très rapidement. Nous avons, grâce à lui, vécu des moments inoubliables. Le guide prévu pour l'ascension, Domi, a été un homme d'une grande valeur.
Ainsi reçu à Katmandou, nous sommes partis pour Lukla afin de rejoindre Namche Bazar pour une halte de 2 jours laissant du temps à l'acclimatation.
Direction les lacs de Gokyo par la vallée de Gokyo, sublime lieu laissant une vue inoubliable sur Cho Oyu bien plus loin et déjà un 8000m.
Traversée du glacier pour passer le 1er col à + de 5000, Cho La Pass afin de rejoindre le secteur du camp de base de l'EVEREST et dormir à Gorak Shep. Tout est grandiose et on en oublie les efforts journaliers à cette altitude. Passage par Kala Patthar à plus de 5500m et poursuivre notre route direction Chhukhumg pour rejoindre le camp de base d'Island Peak et son ascension à 6189m.
Toute cette route avec en point de vue les "géants" de cette planète. Nupse, Lhotse, Everest, ...
Des moments forts et des soirées inoubliables à chanter, danser parfois, profiter de quelques boissons (…) mais surtout croiser des personnes étonnantes.
Un trek inoubliable avec un accompagnement sans faute.
Merci ... et certainement à bientôt

Germany, 4th September, 2021Perfect trip, perfect service
I did a trip to the Everest three Passes and climbed Island Peak with Himalayan Magic Treks and it was amazing. Everything went very well and I have had the time of my life.
Nabin was always there to help before, while and even after the trip. He sent his friend and experienced mountain guide Chiiri Rai with me. He is such a good person, always friendly, good for a talk about nature and culte and very professional as well.
I will definitley come back.

France, 7th February, 2023Trekking Island Peak En octobre 2022
Parti pour découvrir le Népal,ses montagnes,ses villages et sa culture,j ai de suite été très bien accueillis a l'aéroport par Nabin et mon guide Surya
Le trek s'est déroulé comme prévu et organisé par Nabin (responsable de l'agence)
Le vol Lukla,les formalités administratives,les réservations en lodges tout était parfait.
Durant le trek,grace a Surya le guide très attentionné qui m' immergé dans cette ambiance ,j'ai aussi bien découvert le massif que la culture Népalaise.
Tanké, le jeune porteur a parfaitement effectué son travail,il mérite sa place dans cette petite agence familiale locale
Pour l'ascension de l'Island Peak,Surya (guide) a été professionnel,attentif envers moi, se qui nous a permis de réussir et de profiter ensemble de cette aventure.
Une expérience inoubliable avec un accompagnement personnalisé (j'était,volontairement seul) et professionnel.
Accueil népalais,encadrement au niveau dans une très bonne ambiance.
Agence francophone,Nabin répond très rapidement a mes différentes demandes(par mail).Un tarif largement compétitif par rapport aux agences françaises qui veulent faire trop de marge.
En résumé,dès que je pourrai,je repars avec eux!!!!

Spain, 11th February, 2023Totalmente recomendable
Fuimos a hacer una combinación del Everest Base Camp Trek y los tres pasos junto con el Lobuche West y Island Peak. Elegimos esta agencia porque era una de las pocas que ofrecía el Lobuche West (más técnico y arriesgado que el Lobuche East al tener una cresta estrecha al final sin cuerdas fijas). Nuestros objetivos principales se cumplieron al poder coronar los picos. En un momento dado tuvimos que cambiar el itinerario y saltarnos los pasos al caer uno de los dos enfermo unos días, pero no hubo problemas, en todo momento los guías y Nabin facilitaron el proceso. Los guías de trekking y montaña, Ganesh y Raju, fueron muy profesionales y amigables todo el viaje y aprendimos muchas cosas sobre su cultura y modo de vida. Además se adaptaron a nuestra velocidad, tanto cuando íbamos rápido como cuando íbamos lento. Nabin, también es muy amigable y se encargó de toda la coordinación: traslado a los aeropuertos, coordinación con los guías, etc. Los guías también se encargaron de todo durante el viaje, especialmente en una ocasión que no pudimos encontrar habitación y nos salvaron de dormir en la sala común. La comunicación con Nabin también fue sencilla y rápida mientras organizabamos el viaje. Definitivamente repetiremos!
