  • Great experience!

    I was in Nepal with a group of friends in October 2017, and it was an amazing experience. Beautiful nature, breathtaking views, interesting culture and very friendly people. Our guide Bam did a great job, leading us through our two-week adventure. We've seen and explored a lot and definitely coming back!

  • Big thanks to Bam Magar and his team.

    It was my first time in Nepal and I really enjoyed it! We have done Langtang Gosaikunda Trek with day trips to Yala valley and Kianjin Ri peak. I have seen a lot of beautiful places, met many friendly people and loved culture of this country. Big thanks to Bam Magar and his team. During the trek, Bam took the time to explain the different customs in each area, named the peaks around us and always kept us informed of what we could expect the next day. He provided sound advice and showed a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each member in the group. I always felt safe and looked after. He was always cheerful and friendly. Bam, you even cooked apple pies for us!!!!! Very yummy. I'd love to come back to do some more trekking around Annapurna or Mustang area and I'd definitely travel again with Bam and his team from Explorer Adventure. I not only had an amazing trekking experience but also made a great friend. So I recommend Bam and his company to everyone who wants to discover the beauty of Nepal and Himalayas!

  • A great introduction to Himalayan Trekking with an excellent Trek Guide!

    If you are looking for an introduction to trekking in the Himalayas then this trek may be the start of a wonderful experience. The landscape of the Annapurna region is wonderfully lush & extremely scenic; the fooy and thed is really good and varied (especially Nepalese dumplings -'Momos'); the people of this area are very hospitable and friendl area is extremely popular with trekkers! The Trek is not too difficult but you will need a lot of stamina for the uphill & downhill sections of which there are quite a few! But you will definitely be fit by the end of the trek! Bam Magar was our Trek Guide for the Annapurna Sanctuary (ABC) Trek (the previous year and our first year of trekking (2013) he was also our trek guide to Everest Base camp). He arranged everything; internal flights, transfers, meals and hotels etc. You are definitely in a "safe pair of hands" when you trek with Bam! He has an incredible amount of experience of the Himalayas and trekking in those areas as he comes from the Everest region! He can tailor the trek to your requirements as necessitates. Most of all you will make a great friend as well as having a really brilliant trekking experience! I am looking forward to my next Himalayan adventure with Bam! (& with all my sisters!)

  • Excellent Trip and Guide

    We would highly recommend booking any trekking holidays with Bam Magar as your guide. Bam met us in Kathmandu at our hotel as soon as we arrived and from there we put ourselves in his very capable hands. Bam arranged everything for the trek all our accommodation and a great porter who carried my ruck sack all the way. Bams knowledge was endless and everywhere we stayed was excellent. The trek was amazing the places we saw and the views were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. we didn't just find a great guide in Nepal we made a new friend. We loved our time in Nepal and if were ever lucky enough to go again Bam will be our first call,

  • Excellent guide and team!

    It was my first trip to Nepal and first trekking trip in November 2016. I had been down with fever and illness just before the trekking but under the expert guidance and advice of Bam had a great experience and time in the beautiful Langtang valley region. Bam and his team of porters are extremely helpful, super observant all the time and never fail to make the trekking experience a great one! I cannot recommend him enough. All thanks to Bam and his highly capable team for a wonderful and memorable experience!

  • Great Guide

    Bam is a great guide to take up the Dud Khosi trekking path. Knowledgeable with excellent English and nice personality. He also has plenty of experience and kilometers under his belt to ensure a safe and memorable trip.

    This is my second time to this beautiful country of Nepal, first in my twenties doing the Annapurna Circuit unguided and just recently in my fifties with Explorer Adventure. Bam is such an excellent guide - kind, caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy. You will find no better guide and I can highly recommend him and his company. Expertly led, thoroughly organised from the moment we stepped off the plane in Kathmandu. Bam has the patience of a saint and nothing is too much trouble. The trip was excellent and completely surpassed any expectations. I would thoroughly recommend Bam and his team at Explorer Adventure

  • Great trekking trips

    I have been on three trekking trips with Bam and he is an excellent guide and friend. He provided sound advice and showed a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each member in the group. He is extremely resourceful and helps to overcome difficulties with cheerfulness and equanimity, a very important quality when one is on the mountains! The three trips- Annapurna Base Camp, Upper Mustang and Gokyo Lakes- were memorable and I could not recommend Bam highly enough. It makes a huge difference to know that one's trek will be in good hands and it has allowed me to enjoy the fantastic scenery and experience.
