I had an amazing time on the Mardi Himal trek with Guide Ramesh from Brekfree Adventures. Ramesh was a knowledgeable and experienced guide who provided excellent support throughout the trek. He was attentive to our needs and ensured that we were safe and comfortable at all times. The trek itself was challenging but incredibly rewarding, with stunning views of the Himalayas and the surrounding landscapes. Ramesh was very informative and provided insights into the local culture and history, making the experience all the more memorable. The accommodation and meals provided by Brekfree Adventures were top-notch, with comfortable lodges and delicious food. Overall, the 8-day Mardi Himal trek with Ramesh and Brekfree Adventures was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure in Nepal.
I had a fantastic experience on the Mardi Himal trek with Brekfree Adventures. The company provided an experienced and knowledgeable guide who was very attentive to our needs and safety. The trek itself was challenging but well worth it, with breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range and the surrounding landscapes. The accommodation and meals provided by Brekfree Adventures were comfortable and delicious, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that we had a memorable experience. The Mardi Himal trek is a must-do for any adventure seeker, and I highly recommend doing it with Brekfree Adventures. Overall, it was an incredible trip and I would definitely book with them again.
I highly recommend the Everest Base Camp trek with Brekfree Adventures. The company provided excellent support throughout the trek, including knowledgeable and experienced guides, comfortable accommodations, and delicious meals. The trek itself was challenging but rewarding, with stunning views of the Himalayas and a unique cultural experience. Brekfree Adventures made sure that the trek was safe and enjoyable for all participants. Overall, I had an amazing time on the Everest Base Camp trek with Brekfree Adventures and would definitely use their services again.
This was a very last minute decision on our part, but Breakfree Adventures were very quick to respond and accomodated our requests. Everything was simple and efficient. The guide we got was very knowledgeable. We were provided with a packed lunch which was really hearty and filling! 5/5!
Was traveling with a friend through India and Nepal, my one “must do” in Nepal was to see Mount Everest. Didn’t have enough time to do the trek and the flight around the Himalayas seemed lame. We found the option to have a freaking helicopter take us up into the Himalayas and we jumped at the opportunity. Granted it is not cheap, but after traveling for 7 months, that is still my best memory and one that I’ve told countless times to others. We took off from Kathmandu, came up through the clouds and were speechless at the view of the Himalayas. We then got a fantastic view of the the big one, Mount Everest, with the classic wisp of clouds at its peak. After landing at a Sherpa basecamp to “de fuel” so we could get higher, we then got another, closer view of the storied mountain, along with some of the other massive mountains that pail in comparison. For anyone who wants a lifetime story to share, Do this Helicopter tour of Mount Everest!! You won’t regret it.
Mr. Bharat was very prompt and courteous with his response to my inquiries and had the trip setup in no time.
Our guide, Mr. Ramesh, was very professional, knowledgeable and fun to hike with. We hiked through farm land and the view and scenery was spectacular.
One thing that can be improved is lunch. I would recommend providing a chicken/vegetarian sandwich instead of cheese sandwich (which didnt taste that fresh) and a fried chicken breast separately.
Overall we had great time with the hike and would definitely use breakfree for our next adventure.
We wanted to see Mt Everest close from the base camp without the 14-day trek. And this is the most exciting way to go, by helicopter. Early morning start from Kathmandu (1364m) to Lukla airport to refuel (altitude 2860m) and then to the Everest Base camp 5290m with great views of Mt Everest and the Himalayas. Then to Hotel Everest View for a meal (3880m) and finely a flight back over the Himalayas back to Kathmandu all in a day. A wonderful experience and a really great view s of the mountains. Worth every dollar, lifetime experience, and special thanks to the pilot.
My friend and I had a great trek to Everest base Camp! We went there for 2 weeks in February, the beginning of the trekking season. Despite the cold at night, the weather was great and the trek went fine to the top. Ramesh, our guide, was very professional, supportive during the hardest part of the trek and a nice company for the whole journey.
Everything was perfectly organized and we just had to care about walking in the wonderful landscape of Nepal! I would advise anyone to join them for a trek at Everest base camp!
If I could give our guides / porter / driver 6 stars here I would. My fiance and I just concluded two tours with Breakfree Adventures starting with (1) a 9 day Cultural Tour of Bhutan and (2) an 11 day Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal.
Im so glad I found and booked with Breakfree Adventures due to their excellent TripAdvisor reviews and value for money. But what really stood out for me was the warm service provided by their amazing staff all around.
BHUTAN
Bhutan is a beautiful, unique and sparsely populated country and we were so glad we got to go while many of its customs are still preserved. Sometimes while standing in a medieval village surrounded by green hills and pine forests or inside the walls of a medieval dzong (Bhutanese fortress / temple / palace) I felt like I was in an Asian version of Game of Thrones. No dragons of course but they do have mythical-looking takins, an animal that looks like a moose with a guinea pig face.
Our guide Kesang Tenzin and our driver Tandin made our trip wonderful. They took care of everything and all we had to do was follow them, eat when told to eat, etc. Kesang is really funny and extremely knowledgeable about Bhutans culture and fantastical history, we nicknamed him the “Divine Madguide.” We were also lucky to have Tandin as our driver (he was subbing in to help his brother), since he has excellent English as well and we got to talk about things like American movies and TV shows and generally get a perspective on how young people in Bhutan view the future. As Kesang says, Bhutanese mens hemlines are getting longer while womens hemlines are getting shorter.
We loved every sight and activity but our top favorite experiences were: (1) Visiting the Punakha Dzong during a once in a 400 year event when the Zhabdrungs relics were on display for the first time and hundreds of Bhutanese were on line to see them and hundreds more were inside the dzong courtyard chanting beautifully in unison. (2) White water rafting on Class III+ rapids in Punakhas male river (my fiance fell off the raft while riding over a set of rapids called Buddhas Wrath!) (3) Trying their national sport archery and eating a delicious traditional dinner with locals and other tourists at a 300 year old farmhouse in Paro.
We are excited to go to Bhutan again in the future and will probably explore the much less touristed eastern region with Kesang.
NEPAL
Kathmandu is an overwhelming place to land in for the first time (esp. coming from tiny, quiet Paro), so it was great that manager Bharat and our awesome guide Ramesh Duwadi picked us up from the airport and from then on helped us with anything and everything we wanted or needed in Nepal. On day 1, Ramesh helped us rent and buy our gear for the trek in Thamel. Giving realistic and good advice on what we need and dont need.
We are hopeless New York urbanites and this was our first mountain trek, and of course we chose to spend it in the highest mountain range in the world! Going from ~1000m to 4130m and back in 7 days.
The ABC trek itself was difficult, A LOT of up and down stairs for most of the ascent and descent days (days 2, 3, 4 and 5 were the hardest for us) but well worth it. Seeing the snow covered peaks was the highlight but we also had fun at the lower altitudes seeing all the Gurung villages, cute farm animals, relaxing at Jhinu hot springs and picking / eating elderberries. Noticing that my fiance was picking tiny wild strawberries, Ramesh introduced us to elderberries. The bushes are tall and full of thorns though both Ramesh and Dipak had no problem climbing up and picking handfuls of berries for us. They both went out of their way to make sure we were safe and had fun every day.
Ramesh warned us about stinging nettle at the start of the trek. Nevertheless, on day 2 I touched it accidentally when retrieving my dropped poles. I freaked out at the intense pain and Ramesh immediately found and picked a local plant, created a paste and rubbed it onto my fingers which neutralized the pain and he did this again later in the day when the pain came back. Later on the trek I got unpleasant stomach troubles which made me weak and in pain for 2-3 days, Ramesh gave me antibiotics from his first aid kit and even helped carry my day pack when i was struggling up a snow covered hill approaching ABC. The grips of my sneakers were worn out and I fell or slipped almost a dozen times on snow, mud or slippery rocks. I dont like asking for help but Ramesh helped hold on to my arm over particularly slippery stretches. And Dipak helped me up a few times even with a wobbly 30 kg on his back. Just for fun, my fiance and I tried on Dipaks pack and walked uphill for a minute. So tough! Incredible how Dipak carries this all day long, walks twice as fast as us and never loses his balance (even without any poles) and is never out of breath. It must be the legendary power of dal bhat! By day 6 we had soreness in our knees from all the descending and Ramesh led us in a nice mini yoga session. Definitely ask for him if you would like a yoga + trekking tour.
Every night at the tea houses (lodges), we would collapse from exhaustion. We never had to wait for a room and our guide worked hard to make sure we would get a large room and not have to share with other trekkers for more comfort. Our guide and porter would patiently wait and make sure to serve us dinner before they would eat. Ramesh would cut us fresh fruits every night for dessert. None of the other guests would have this. Also these guys are hilarious, we would play Nepalese card games for hours every night: dhumbal which Dipak would suspiciously beat us at almost every time and donkey which results in a lot of slamming the table and each others hands (sorry other guests!). Day after day, they were becoming our good friends.
We were not the easiest customers because on day 1 we requested to change the itinerary so that we could stay 1 night at Annapurna Base Camp, meaning we had to be at least 2 hours ahead of the trekking schedule in the days before. And very last minute on the evening of day 6 we requested a change again to take the bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu one day early in order to spend 2 nights in Kathmandu instead of 1. Our guide Ramesh executed the plan immediately, he made a lot of calls (while we were still in a mountain lodge) to change hotels, cancel our bus and even arranged a heavily discounted private car to take us to Kathmandu on the afternoon of day 7. We were so glad he helped arrange all of this so that we could have a full day to explore Kathmandus top sights.
Ramesh and Dipak made our experience in Nepal seamless. While the 3-8 hours of hiking up and down every day was difficult (even for a marathon runner like me), everything else was made easy thanks to the wonderful people of Breakfree. In addition to the trek, we also had a fun tour of Pokharas top 4 sights and a nice farewell dinner on our last night in Kathmandu, both were with Ramesh. We want to come back to Nepal later to do the more challenging Everest Base Camp and will definitely request to have Ramesh and Dipak again, theyre the best.
My family has taken multiple treks with Breakfree and we wouldnt imagine using any other tour company. I do not exaggerate when I say that they treat you like family. Our wonderful guide Ramesh Duwadi, who we always request, has shown us the wonders of Everest, the Annapurna trail, and weve had wonderful times in Pokhara with him. I urge you to do business with Breakfree. Be sure to request Ramesh! He will take excellent care of you.
I must start with thanking my friend for doing the research , and zeroing on Breakfree adventures.
It was a professional approach from the start of discussing the itinerary to finalizing it . and there by setting our expectations high . and Mr Bharat and team did justice to it.
From the moment we arrived at Kathmandu everything was taken care of. there were no glitches what so ever. everything booked during the itenary was planned and booked in advance . the hotels we stayed were among the best for the price we paid , a special mention to Mt Kailash Resort at pokhara, jus the perfect to place to stay during a vacation.
Mr Prashant , Our guide at kathmandu was very informative , well versed in English , and extremely polite.
Mr Ramesh , who was with us for five days , from kathmandu to pokhara to chitwan and back was again really good , spoke English and had good local knowledge and polite .
Mr Bharats way of running the show will make any traveler to come back to Nepal , a fellow traveler commented ” first time you visit Nepal for the scenic beauty and second time u visit for the people ” , I will say their hospitality will put anyone at ease . Everywhere people welcome you with a smile .
I am definitely going back soon .
Keep up the good work @Team Breakfree Adventures ,
Had an amazing 8 day sightseeing trip with Breakfree Adventures (in Jan 2016). Bharat was very professional, he responded quickly and aptly to all my queries (over email, WhatsApp). He also helped me in customizing my trip like I wanted and after finalizing everything, he sent me a detailed itinerary with clear inclusions and exclusions.
We visited Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and I must say our entire trip was comfortable and hassle free. We literally dint have to bother about anything. Everything was so perfectly planned and arranged by Bharath.
Hotels we stayed were actually great, they all served decent breakfast. All transportation like mountain flight, buses, taxis were taken care by Bharat. Must mention about Ramesh, our guide who spent 5 days with us in Pokhara and Chitwan. At the end of the trip, he was not just a guide but our good friend. Am not giving out much details of the trip because I don’t want to spoil your excitement and thrill. Just close your eyes and go with Breakfree Adventures, they are really reliable.
Thanks to Baharat and Ramesh, keep up the good work.
In 2014, my wife and I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking. We were so enthralled by landscapes, people, colours and light that we had to return to Nepal and to attempt the Annapurna Circuit. We were thrilled but also anxious about trekking over 5,416 m altitude (the target altitude on day 11 of the trek), whilst at home in Germany we live just at 45 masl.
We booked a package containing two porters and one guide (all English speaking), accommodation and meals, and transportation with Breakfree Adventures. Breakfree Adventures was recommended by my companys office in Kathmandu. After the sudden and tragic events at the circuit in October 2014, we did not wish to do any compromises with the company organising the trek (the readers may recall that a cyclone over India caused heavy snowfall in the Himalaya and trapped trekkers at and around the Thorong-La Pass; it was a sad tragedy and the news went around the world). Our intention was to go with an absolute professional company and experienced and English speaking guide. We checked various sources of customer reviews, including Trip Advisor and all feedback on Breakfree Adventures read impressively positive. Hence, we decided to test Breakfree Adventures. The correspondence was quick and informative. Rates were competitive, and when eventually planning the programme and trekking schedule, Breakfree Adventures was very flexible and included all our suggestions. And indeed we were not disappointed. Guide and porters were professional, very kind and polite, and extremely attentive throughout the trek. We could not have made a better choice. The accommodation arranged was always top range of the guest houses; the budget for food was generous and we were taken well care of from the first day until the last day. We have no hesitation to recommend Breakfree Adventures as a trekking tour operator and organizer for any such tours in Nepal.
As most trekkers, we did the Circuit anti-clockwise. We started on Nov 23 for a 14-day tour inclusive travel from Kathmandu to Besi Sahar (by vehicle) and return travel from Jomsom to Pokhara and the day thereafter from Pokhara to Kathmandu (both by air). The trekking itineraries of the Circuit are all similar but the breath-taking part of the Annapurna Circuit definitely starts in Upper Pisang with beautiful vistas of the mountain range and the valley (Annapurna II is just opposite). Photographers can live out all passion and take beautiful night and early morning shots of the Annapurna range (ideal before sunrise). Note, Upper Pisang is definitely worth staying a 2nd day. There is much to see and to discover. The Himalaya Hotel (just below the monastery in Upper Pisang) is a very commendable choice to stay. The views from their balcony and dining room are spectacular.
Another stop to remember was Brakha, which is just about 30 trekking minutes before Manang. No question, Manang is a must town to visit and most trekkers stay in Manang. But our reason for staying in Brakha and not in Manang was the easier access and ascent to the Ice Lake (a climb of 1,200 altitude meters) and on the other side of the valley the reach of the Milerepa Cave and the Glacier Viewpoint. When staying in Brakha, an excellent choice to stay is the Himalayan Lodge, a superb guest house with comfortable rooms (toilet and bathroom attached to the rooms) and an exquisite cuisine with surprising international flair. It out-rated all guest houses we stayed before during the trek.
Yak Kharka is another perfect spot for night photographers. It is just one night before Thorung Pedi and Thorong-La Pass next morning. I took a series of good shots of the Milky Way before midnight (a tripot is a must). The lower mountain range in Yak Kharka is a fantastic foreground for astrophotography and the clarity during the night was fantastic (early December).
Overall the Annapurna Circuit is doubtless one of the world’s most spectacular treks and we will long remember the days. If you have the time, take a rest day at the Fishtail Lodge in Pokhara, a superb hotel on an island in the Phewa Lake and near the main commerce street in Pokhara. It is a beautiful spot to find the sense of time again after having lost it during the trek.
We recently completed the Everest base camp trek with Breakfree adventures. The company were fantastic from start to finish. Friendly and helpful correspondence running up to the trip, giving you the information you need. Then from pick up to drop off we were well looked after every step of the way. The tour of Kathmandu was very interesting and our guides for this day and on the trek were both great. The trek itself is not for the faint hearted! But you could not be in better hands and I would strongly recommend Breakfree Adventures to anyone planning a trip to Nepal.
My sister and I visited Nepal during thanksgiving to trek up to Everest base camp and kalapathar. We chose break free adventure as they were rated very high in trip advisor. However, you are not sure how it will all work until you have a positive experience….
I have to tell you that the reviews were accurate. Bharath came to the airport to receive us and dropped us at the hotel, made arrangements for exchange of currency arranged for reliable guides for both the city tour and the hike. Bharath is very professional honest and trustworthy. He is intent on making his customers happy…. Just like I the unted states, customer is very important for bharath.
As far as the trek, we had an excellent Sherpa called Dorji and he was amazzzzzing….. Very strong carried about 60 pounds on his back and still hiked much faster then us. The Lat two days he came back after dropping the luggage at the teahouse and came back and carried both my sister and my backpack…. We wer amazed how little gear he had so we gave a lot of our gear to him.
We did the hike over 6 nights 7 days. It was an amazing journey. Very safe trails. The people of Nepal are very nice and honest people. The food was excellent at tea houses. Our guide had bought with him some fresh fruits to feed us and that also helped. My sister and I were able to achieve our goal of seeing EBC and kalapathar.
Overall I had a great experience with break free adventure and recommend them. Also, Nepal seems like a safe country for single women to travel. Amazing place! Amazing people! Talented pilots and beautiful mountains.
I just did the 4 day sightseeing tour and I had an amazing trip. I was short of time and wanted to see as much as I could and I was not disappointed. I saw all the main sights and went to see the sunrise and the sunset over the himalayan mountains in Nagarkot. It was fantastic! Bharat and his team made sure that I enjoyed my stay every step of the way. My guides were amazing and very knowledgeable and the tour went very smoothly. I also had plenty of time to explore and take some great pictures. For a fist time in Nepal I would definitely recommend this company.
We are from Brazil and took a trip to Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. I researched several travel agencies to make such a journey. I found other agencies that also had good ratings, but Breakfree Adventures was the only agency that quickly replied my emails and that offered the best price.
Bharat met all our wishes and was always very pleasant. We had a problem with our India visa because of the connection and he had enough patience to help us while we were there.
At the end of the trip I felt I made new friends, Bharat and other travel guides made our experience extremely pleasurable. We feel deeply saddened by the earthquake that happened soon after we got back. I am sure, however, that soon Nepal will be able to safely welcome tourists. Nepal is a destination that I would certainly go again!
About the cars, Accommodations, Hotels and other issues have nothing to say, they were of high quality.
I booked the Mountain flight and a weekend in Pokhara including Paraglidin
i was very impressed with the efficiency in communication. all my questions were promptly answered and there was absolute attention to detail in making sure all my concerns were addressed. their flexibility to change itinerary due to plane cancellations was also impressive, without wasting time we had plan b (4×4 vehicle) in motion, very important when travelers come with limited time and cannot afford to waste a precious day. the porter was so strong and always smiling. the guide super helpful. they both became like my brothers in nepal :), and the administration office and main coordinator was also there to extend support and help with logistics even beyond the trekking itinerary. breakfree staff is so genuinely kind and helpful, i highly recommend them!!! and on top of everything they give back to the community, they support a school for the underprivileged in a remote area of nepal!!!
From the moment I wrote to Bharat to enquire about about a private group trekking to Poonhill Ghorepani … I sensed I was in good hands. Bharat was prompt in responding. He was very patient n responsed to every little thing I asked, no matter how trivia.
We were provided with the best team on our trek. Ramesh our guide was very professional n at the same time very caring n thoughtful n most accomodative to our changing needs… we changed our itinerary a couple of times during the trek n Ramesh together with Bharat made the changes with no fuss.
Our guide Ramesh n our porters SK n Nabin were the best… always smiling, aways cheerful and always there when we need a helping hand. We were like friends on holiday together… singing n dancing n drinking together.
We enjoyed our trekking with Bharat n his gang so much, we are coming back next year to do the ABC trek with them.
Bharat and his team are top notch. They took care of our needs based on our priorities. The trekking guide Ramesh was speedy in changing our itinerary whilst waiting at the airport lounge. Both the porter, Shreee Krishna and the guide were like an extended family of ours. We shared our food, plates and of course the laughter. Even off the trek, their team willingly extended help in taking care of our logistics and helped in our stay in Nepal. Without a doubt recommend them to all visitors, especially if you were short on time like us. I shall definitely revisit 🙂
Bharat arranged an excellent tour which covered Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Chitwan, and Pokhara. The guides worked very hard to allow us to have space and at the same time provide any level of explanation which we desired concerning many varied and exotic topics. Where do you start to describe the adventure? My wife and I flew over the Himalayas and got to enter the cockpit where I actually stood when the plane turned towards Mt. Everest. It was spectacular. Unfortunately if you come to Nepal in late May or beyond, the Monsoon is just around the corner and we were denied ground level views of Everest from Nagarkot. Chitwan was great. We saw 10 rare one horned rhinos. One even charged our jeep but was driven off by a very brave tour guide. We saw a sloth bear that was digging into a termite hill and a variety of crocodiles in the streams. There were more bird species than one could count. Our guide in Chitwan, Hari, was the best that anyone could imagine. He arranged a very special tour on elephant back, so we could leave the noisy tourists and get a very intimate look at the jungle. In Pokhara we were again denied a very good view of the Annapurna Range, but things cleared up enough one evening to get a very good impression of just how majestic these mountains are. Amazing! I could go on and on. Please look to the pictures I posted and from others. They are indicative of what you have to look forward to. I would very much recommend Breakfree to anyone who would visit Nepal. They will take care of the details and ensure that you receive the level of service that you pay for.
My wife, son, and I had the most exciting and wondrous trip to Bhutan, all arranged by Bharat of Breakfree Adventures. From the very first email, Bharat was always quick to respond with answers to questions regarding the itinerary, bookings, hotel arrangements, visa and flight information, etc. We were very happy to learn that Bharat would join us on our tour. Our hotels, chosen from the government list which included the Metta Spa and Resort, Meri Puensam, and Peaceful Resort, were charming with clean, large rooms, hot showers, and wonderful food for breakfast and dinner. Our lunches at local restaurants were also excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety, freshness, and delicious preparation of every meal. Our tour guide, Bull, was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history and customs of past and present Bhutan. Our driver, Tenzin, was extremely proficient at maneuvering through the winding, mountainous roads, always making us feel comfortable and safe. We shared meals with Bharat, Bull, and Tenzin which only added more enjoyment to our trip, since we came to know more about the personal lives of the Bhutanese whose incredible country everyone should come to know. We do recommend to everyone that the hike to Tigers Nest be taken a few days after arriving so the body adjusts to the altitude change. Our 22 year old son made it up to the Nest and back in three hours total time with Bull on the second day of our visit. But then again, he is 22 and his parents are NOT…Overall, Breakfree Adventures is a sure winner when considering a trip to the most glorious of countries, Bhutan. Contact Bharat and discover true, personal service at its best.
As a group of 7 friends who enjoy traveling together, we could not have asked for a better experience during our 08 August 2013 day trip to Kathmandu than the one Breakfree Adventures arranged. BHARAT from Breakfree Adventures was amazing in expressions of promptly answering questions and offering travel trips. BHARAT provided the necessary information for our group to make informed decisions, concerning all aspects of the tours including hotel selections, modes of transportation and must see places.
We all agreed that the trip could not have been better. We visited Kathmandu, Chitwan, Pokhara, Sarangkot and Dhampus. From the moment we arrived at the Kathmandu airport, we were well escorted. There was not one issue with transportation, the accommodations, tours, and guides. We originally were traveling from Pokhara to Kathmandu by the Tourist bus, but because of a strike, we needed to travel by air instead. This change was handled without a trouble. Tour guides were always prompt and efficient in getting us to the required locations. The choice of hotels offered by Breakfree Adventures allows us to choose a variety of accommodations. In each instance, the hotel personnel were helpful, efficient, and friendly. Rooms were always ready upon our arrival, clean, and above our expectations.
Also, during this 7 days tours, there were several misplaced items amongst members of our group – our bag, passports, and even a camera were mistakenly left in hotel rooms. In each case, the items were retrieved by a Breakfree Adventures representative and either brought to us or sent to our next destination.
The tour guides were superb, especially Ramesh. We could count on the tour guides to provide us with the local history, culture as well as shopping and restaurant tips, and visits to the local market.
We loved every aspect our Nepal tour and appreciate all that everyone at Breakfree Adventures Nepal did to make our journey an excellent. Maybe even the best and we are experienced travelers. We already planning a trip to Ghorepani – Poon Hill and with Breakfree Adventures will be the only travel consultant we contact for assistance!
Thank you so much!
Kelly and Friends!!
Book your adventures in Nepal with this agency and I promise you that you will have almost nothing more to worry about during your stay there.
Bharat, who I exchanged emails with to arrange my groups trip to Chitwan for the elephant safari, was very patient with my inquiries and guided me through my last-minute payment for said activity. When my friends and I were in Chitwan, we cooked up this crazy plan to spend our next day in Pokhara instead of heading back to Kathmandu, where we were supposed to be. We asked our driver, Nabaraj (who is a very great guy I highly recommend, by the way), to ask Bharat if we could just change our itineraries on the fly like that. He made it work. He just gave us a price quote for the added trip the car was going to take and agreed to wait for us to get back to Kathmandu for the payment. He even agreed to wait for us in the hotel way past business hours because the traffic jam we got caught up in delayed our arrival in Kathmandu to 9 PM.
I have nothing but good memories of my short Nepal trip logistics-wise and its all thanks to Bharat and Breakfree Adventures.
During our stay in Nepal, Breakfree Adventures proved reliable, hospitable, informative and creative – all at a good price. Bharat Sapkota and his people were where they said they would be every time.
Our Kathmandu guide, Bijay Ramal, patiently fielded our questions and made sure we saw the four big sites: Durbar Square, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath and Pastupinath.
But it was in doing what it could to salvage our trek that Breakfree proved its worth.
We had a five day window to trek in the Everest area, but an unprecedented return of the monsoon shut down flights to the starting point, Lukla, for the entire time. After our flight was grounded the first morning, Bharat and trekking guide Ramesh Duwadi, anticipating events, got our tickets switched to Pokhara for that afternoon, so we could trek in the Annapurna area.
Unfortunately, the weather was bad there, too, so we trekked five days in clouds and rain. But Ramesh was invaluable. He grew up in a small village, so he could explain everything we saw, from architecture to farming practices to hydroelectric projects. He sometimes went ahead to get us a room at a tea house before the crowds showed up. His English was excellent and he made friends with everybody we met along the way.
Breakfree even threw in two extra nights at a nice hotel in Pokhara and Ramesh finally managed to get us a view of the Himalayas from Sarangkot the morning before our flight back to Kathmandu. Then, even though we didnt leave Nepal until five days later, Bharat picked us up from our hotel at 6 am and drove us to the airport.
If you are travelling to Nepal and want a 5-star experience, make sure to book it with Bharat and his company. He managed to arrange an entire trip for us with only a weeks notice, including sight seeing in Kathmandu, a jungle excursion in Chitwan, a last-minute detour to Pokhara en route back to Kathmandu and a mountain flight to Everest. Bharat accommodated all of our requests, was punctual and hospitable, and made sure we had nothing but a good time – all at a very good price. I would highly recommend Bharat and Breakfree Adventures if you are planning a trip to Nepal – you will certainly not be disappointed. With everything taken care of, the only thing you will have to worry about is taking plenty of photos and enjoying what Nepal has to offer!
I recently returned from my second trip to Nepal; my first being in 1999. I contacted and expected to use the same trekking company I used previously, but on a random search I discovered BreakFree Adventures- and Im so glad I did. Our trek on the Manaslu Circuit could not have been better managed, coordinated, guided and portered. I have limited vision and knew that the satisfaction of my trek was going to depend to a large degree on my guides attention and genuine concern for my well-being, as well as my friends. After reading a previous review by a deaf person, I decided to work with Breakfree. From the beginning, Bharat provided excellent and timely service, even when we needed to delay our trip just two weeks prior to our scheduled arrival. We were very pleased with how he competently handled logistical changes to accommodate our needs. Our guide Tonka went above and beyond, assisting me on difficult trail sections, and providing all kinds of cultural insights as we walked through the mountains; and hes not afraid to jump into a busy teahouse kitchen and whip up a dynamite meal! Hes a gem of a guide. He, and our porters, took their jobs seriously, and we shared a lot of laughs with all of them. I couldnt recommend Breakfree enough, and hope after reading this review, you put your trust in them for your trek/trip…youll be happy you did!
Organised a week long holiday for 4 girls around new years with Bharat and his company – excellent service from beginning, when I first got in contact with him, to end, when we were dropped to the airport. We managed to organise a comtom designed itinerary for thw trip which was fully customisable as required. From street festivals, to temples, from paragliding to doing an ultra light flight and from boat rides to ziplining – we couldnt gave had a more varied and well planned trip! 100% would recommend to use Bharat and his company if you are thinking of travelling to nepal! 🙂
Pretty last minutes(a week before departure) booking to Nepal via Breakfree through Bharat turned out to be one of the best tour ever! The booking process took less than few hours because Bharat know exactly what itinerary Im looking for and arranged accordingly, in a very reasonable price(cost breakdown has been attached). I must say his efficiency is very impressing! Despite the itinerary need to be changed after I arrived in Kathmandu due to some cancellations from Last Resort(for Bungy Rafting), Bharat still manage to rearrange a whole new itinerary(for different dates) which include all the activities I requested before, plus an extra tour to Pokhara. The necessary changed of transportation mean from tourist bus to private car(due to time constraint) to access Pokhara, Chitwan and Last resort just cost me a little extra, definitely a great favor from Bharat. Other extra touch including the motorbike tour to Nagarkot and Bhaktapur, and truly shows the hospitality of Nepali!
Accommodations arranged in the tour were all in very good locations and I was really well taking care of (I travel solo). Literally, you just need to book the tour, fly to nepal and simply enjoy the wonderful time!
My partner and I travel a lot and we tend to travel off the beaten track. We tend to avoid the well trodden paths and look for the unusual. Bharat at Breakfree Adventures filled our brief beautifully. We wanted to do a horse or pony trek in Nepal. We had quite a limited amount of time and wanted to cover as much country as we could. Bharat organised a fantastic itinerary and employed the services of a fabulous guide, Ramesh. Ramesh was informative, interesting, helpful, concerned when we both became a little ill, but not in our face. Perfect! We rode on a couple of local ponies that were very sure footed and quiet. My pony allowed me ample opportunity to take many many photos while walking our track. We have fallen in love with Nepal and will definitely be back to cover another area, and of course doing it in an off the beaten track manner. We will be back to Bharat to help plan and organise this in the future. I have absolutely no hesitations in recommending Breakfree Adventures. If you are looking for something extraordinary, Bharat will be able to organise it for you. A special thank you to Bharat, Ramesh, Nema, Tankanats for an amazing adventure.
Breakfree Adventures is a top shelf service provider. Our trip to Nepal was exceptional; which included the Manaslu Circuit and additional Nepali sites (Chitwan, Pokhara, Bandipur) was lead by Bharat and his team. The total Breakfree team provided a high level of coordination, service, knowledge and consultation throughout the trip. All roles including driver, brother, culture guide, trekking guide and porters were top talent.
A special note…..My friend Kelly Carver whom joined me on the trip, had a vision disability, and breakfree provided the extra support and attention to make Kellys trip a success.
Upon my future return to Nepal, I will surely contact Breakfree Adventures again; and will recommend to others..

Its impossible for me to imagine a better tour operator than Bharat. Not only did he organize an exceptional trek, he was extremely hands-on once our plans unexpectedly changed. When our trek was cut short due to my fathers health, Bharat visited the hospital personally many times to check up on my father, and organized additional activities for us within Nepal to make up for time lost. He treated us more like family than clients. Our guide Ramesh Duwadi was nothing short of amazing as well. He was extremely patient and understanding throughout the entire trip – just an exemplary guide who made our comfort and enjoyment his top priority. I would urge anyone to plan their visit to Nepal through Breakfree Adventures. They should be the model for other tour operators to follow.
What an fabulous experience with Bharat and his team for our whirlwind 4-day visit to Kathmandu. We initially booked a mountain flights tour and a Kathmandu city sights tour with them and we are amazed by the service and great lengths he and his team would go to, to make sure we saw and experienced the best of Kathmandu. We later organised a last minute and impromptu trip to Nagarkot which we were so grateful to Bharat for recommending and organising, as we otherwise would not have appreciated Nepal for what a beautiful country it is outside of the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. Later that night Bharat took us to traditional Nepali restaurant with cultural performance and a great time was had by all, with lots of great food eaten and drinks drunk. It was like having a friend in the city take you out showing you the sights of his home town! Thanks Bharat – without you and your team we wouldnt have had a quarter of the experience and enjoyment.
My friends and I just finished a tour with Breakfree Adventures in Bhutan. Overall, we had a very wonderful time. The team at Breakfree Adventures are perfect to make the holiday enjoyable from the planning of our trip till the tour over.
The guide for the tour was very reliable as our guide Sangay was always waiting for us at the hotel before the tour start time. She is very knowledgeable and trustworthy.
The accommodation in each location was very good, the room was clean and comfortable, the staff of the hotel are very polite.
Would highly recommend this tour company.
Bharat of Breakfree Adventures was very easy to work with. I got through to him less than 2 weeks before we arrived in Nepal but he was able to arrange everything very quickly and our tour went smoothly. We basically had a free hand in what we wanted to do (I already had an itinerary from my research and from talking to other tour operators), but he also suggested additional activities that we liked. I picked Breakfree because they quoted the lowest price and required the least downpayment (among operators I equally did not know), but had a great rating on trip advisor. It was certainly the right choice.
Our guide Shankar was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He also acted as our expert photographer and sometimes haggler. He was always waiting for us ahead of time, and concerned with even where we would take dinner after our tour for the day.
Our driver was always smiling and an expert in maneuvering in Nepals tight spaces and twisting mountain roads.
The hotels we stayed in were clean and comfortable. In the one case where I asked for a different hotel than the one recommended, the one Breakfree recommended seemed better. At least it looked much nicer from the outside and was on the lakefront.
When our mountain flight to Everest got cancelled, we had no trouble getting our money back as Breakfree was the one who processed the refund on our behalf.
I also liked the personal touch of the traditional Nepali dinner on our final night before Bharat personally took us back to the airport.
In summary, Breakfree was a delight to deal with even before getting to Nepal, and we were very well taken-cared of from landing until takeoff thanks to Breakfree Adventures.
Breakfree Adventures will provide an unforgettable experience in Bhutan.
Just got back from the tour today. Bharat, who will be arranging your schedule and other procedures ahead of the trip, will provide all necessary help, and respond quickly to your questions. Upon the arrival and until the departure, the local guides will also make the best efforts to guarantee a satisfactory stay. Hotels are just “okay,” but you will at least find no problems. Foods are also good, if you are comfortable with Asian foods.
Above all, the guide is very well informed with the history of Bhutan, and provides clear and easy explanations whenever you visit historical sites. Unlike other tour packages in other countries (based on my experience), they will not take you to shops where they will induce you to buy pricey handicrafts. The entire schedule is focused on your satisfaction. The guide will also modify the schedule upon your last-minute request. For me, instead of visiting more temples, the guide allowed me to have a tea with a lama, and we exchanged various conversations on life, religion, and everything. An unforgettable experience!
I know 250 USD a day may seem expensive, it is definitely worth it. There are many Bhutan-related tourism agencies out there, and there could be better ones. But if you do not want to waste time choosing a travel agency, I can tell you things cannot go wrong if you choose to travel with Breakfree Adventures. Travelling to Bhutan may be complicated, but things get a lot easier when travelling with the agency.
Bharat was fantastic with his organisation of our trek. We were short on time in Nepal but Bharat managed to organise a pony trek from Jomsom to Kagbeni and Muktinath. A fabulous taste of this amazing country. Each place we stayed in was clean and comfortable. Our Pokhara accommodation was fabulous!! Our guide Ramesh was interesting, informative and great company. I can highly recommend Breakfree Adventures for an unforgettably fantastic adventure.
Namaste!
Dear Bharat,
It is time that I wrote to thank you for everything you did to ensure the success of my trek, I realise now that a 25 day trek was a huge undertaking but it was one of the best experiences of my life. The choice of guide and porter was vital and Ram, the guide, was outstanding. His English was first-rate and he was excellent at making sure that I was having a good time. He encouraged me when needed and left me alone at other times. He was full of useful information and I soon realised that his judgement was always good. When he suggested that we stop to have lunch, it meant that we needed a rest before tackling something or other! Several other trekkers commented on how efficient and thoughtful he was and I noticed that many people asked him for advice or information, rather than their own guides. Many trekkers were unhappy with their guides so I was delighted that Ram was so helpful, informative and supportive.
Nurbu, the porter, was amazing; at times I lost sight of him and wondered where he was – only to discover that he had taken a short-cut and was way ahead of us. He was always helpful and light-of-heart; he managed my rucsac with no problems.
Your organisation was excellent, as well. I didnt believe it when you appeared with my permit for Mustang in Muktinath; you had promised to get it to me but I didnt realise, even then, what a long and hard journey it was to reach a place so far from Kathmandu. You seemed to enjoy it, too!
Please feel free to use what I have written as a recommendation. As a 60 year old lady, this trek could have been impossible; it was totally due to your organisation and your choice of people that I completed it and enjoyed every day. It was often tough but I never doubted that I would complete the trek.
I will try to send you some photos but I am not sure how fast the connection it. I will wend them separately.
Yours,
Even before travel to Nepal we booked them trekking to Everest Base Camp. Bharat gave exhaustive answers to all our questions and actually why we choose this company. The reality of our expectations, everything was organized well, the guide was knowledgeable and interested in everything we love to confess. After the track we decided to go for 3 days in Chitwan and in this we also helped Bharat. Normal, not inflated prices and excellent quality. Would recommend.
Ghorepani trekking is the best to have visitors leave within a short period of time. This year when I got my working holiday for me and my friends to Ghorepani trekking adventure. My guide Kabindra is very helpful, very friendly and good, and gave me a perfect time and trek. He was always there when I have any problems. After completing the trek, he even took me to the birthplace of Lord Buddha Lumbini. I have plans to return to Nepal and another Kabindra, because he is the best. Thank you for your help and support to make my dream come true.
Thank you very much for the opportunity, and the day was a trip to Nepal, the land of Buddhism and culture, hospitality and travel from the Shackles breakfree adventures make travel fun and soak up the atmosphere was great, even though each trip Shackles. be weary But be careful and good service of thanks.
We just returned from our Manaslu Trekking and would like to give countless appreciation to our guides, porters and the great Company Breakfree Adventures who arrange our Nepal Holiday. We spend total 24 days in Nepal including Trekking, White water rafting and jungle excursion. The guide for the every different trip was so amazing.
If you are scheduling to visit Nepal, go directly with these guys since they have such a well experience leaders on every step of your trip.
We have just returned from our short holiday In Nepal. We spend total 4 nights in Nepal. Our trip was organized by Bharat from Breakfree Adventures who was very professional and flexible. He designed the journey accurately according to our desires and he was very patient regarding our changes of plan.
Our 4 nights tour in Nepal was great and we were fantastically looked after by our guide Govinda. He was always there for our needs and he was very attentive, punctual, and courteous. The long weekend trip including guided city sightseeing tour, white water rafting, day biking and everest experience flight was extremely well priced for our group.
If you are working in Dubai and looking for a great destination for your short break, you should fly 4 hour to Nepal and take a tour. The Breakfree Adventures company is highly recommended if you looking for a guide in Nepal.
Thank you so much Breakfree Adventures Company for your dedicated and professional service!
Our trip ran very smoothly, thanks to your staff, and the wonderful guide and porters you arranged for us. We had a spectacular visit to Kalapattar and Everest Base Camp, clear weather, great food, and of course the overwhelming hospitality of Nepalese people. Especially, appreciated all your help with accommodations, flight tickets, visas, trekking permits, guide and porters etc on a very short notice.
Very best wishes to you & I hope your business flourishes.
The Ghorepani Ghandruk trekking is something everyone must do for a great experience. I dream to do this from years and started collecting information for this trek from last year. I was a bit worried at first to choose local agency as I never visited this country before thus I did speak with my friends who had done their recent trek and their travel experience of Ghorepani Ghandruk Trekking with Breakfree Adventures which gave me confident to choose Nepal based company.
I had a wonderful experience with Breakfree Adventures. My Guide Puna and Porter citalang were very excellent. They look after me very well. Great hospitality, personal care and professionally guided.
I am very glad to choose this company for my Ghorepani Ghandruk trek organized by most professional team. I am planning to back Nepal and take another trek with this company with my parents next year and would not hesitate to choose Breakfree Adventures again.

Overall, my friend and I had a wonderful trip and great experiences both on the “business” side with Bharat and with our guide Ramesh.
“Business” Side
Bharat was very responsive with emails and helping determine good options for our time frame. Payment was mostly straightforward, but Id recommend not using PayPal as it looked like it hit Break free with a large fee. We ended up with an extra day in Kathmandu due to reasons detailed below, and Bharat was very helpful in changing reservations and getting us a driver.
Trek
Wow!!! Langtang is beautiful, and highly recommend this area for a more off the beaten path experience. Given it was March and a less popular trekking region, we had trails to ourselves and mostly empty tea houses. Ramesh was everything you could ask for in a guide: professional, fun (we played lots of rummy and “donkey” at night), and knowledgeable. Given that a large part of the experience is dependent on your guide, I cant stress enough how lucky we felt to have Ramesh with us. He definitely seemed top tier relative to other guides we met on the trail. He was always making sure we were in-taking enough calories (Orange “tea” and cookies became a nice way to finish up the days hike) He also was very cognizant of weather, and had us skip a day of trekking around Lake Gosainkunda due to an unexpected 6 inches of snow. He did a good job of communicating this later on and working with Bharat to plan a day in Kathmandu. With that said, Ramesh also met us at the airport and was our “in town” tour guide. Great all around!
Misc:
My friend and I are both males ~ 30 years of age and in pretty good shape. We carried our own packs and still finished most stretches of the trek in 20-30% less time than Ramesh seemed to normally go. (He of course has no problems with any pace!) Had we known this, we may have tried to do a longer (distance) wise trek ahead of time.
Namaste!
We had such a wonderful time during our trek with Breakfree Adventures. Nepal truly is a magical place. We are both in agreement that it is (by far) the most beautiful country we have ever visited. The people were so kind and hospitable, and the sights throughout the trek were absolutely breathtaking. If you are looking for time away from a concrete jungle, the Annapurna trek is definitely your best choice. The Rhododendron forests were absolutely magical. So much green and supernatural beauty. Our senses were incredibly spoiled! Nepal was the perfect escape destination we needed after spending the past 7 months in dry, dusty, hot Kuwait.
We were very happy with our guide, Romess, and our porter, Chandra. Romess had a lovely warm spirit and eagerness to ensure that we were always happy. Chandras fun-loving, enthusiastic character made it impossible not to enjoy his company. His strength and perseverance completely astounded us.
Dhonyabaad to Breakfree for an incredible experience. We are highly recommending treks in Nepal (with Breakfree Adventures, of course) to all of our friends, and we look forward to visiting Nepal again sometime in the future.

We had an amazing trip of a lifetime which was fantastically organized with help and support by Breakfree Adventures. The trekking trail and the acclimatization days were superbly balanced which was geared to getting us to the Everest Base camp which is 8,848mt above from the sea level. Our guide Ramesh was superb; patient and very attentive.

We had short time in Nepal and did Amadablam Base Camp Trekking for a week through help, support and organized by Breakfree Adventures. Our trip starts from the spectacular flight to Lukla, on the second day we arrive in Kathmandu to guided city sightseeing tour after return to the Kathmandu. Our trip was amazing after special care from our guide Ramesh. He was so friendly, helpful and informative guide. The porter Nurbu was very strong man who carry our luggage and walk much faster than us.
The hotel room in Kathmandu was exceeding our expectation. The city guide name was Bijaya who is also very informative and helpful man. There is no any comparison with two guides we had on the trip. Both of them had done very well job. We are already planning to return in Nepal for another longer trek and use these guys again through Breakfree Adventures.
You can always contact these guys if you are looking for a amazing trip of your lifetime.

What a wonderful experience we had while doing short chartered Mt. Everest Heli Tour, Mr. Bharat appointed as a guide who is also managing director of the company Breakfree Adventures. We never thought we will see Mt. Everest, the highest place on the earth in our life but they make it success.
The weather was sunny and clear visibility. The pilot is very well experience and mention us he is been flying over this mountain more than 10 years.
We would highly recommend doing this flight if someone who have very short period of time and wish to see Mt. Everest.
Also we had done Kathmandu heritage tour with these guys, the guide Mr. Govinda is very informative, knowledgeable, and experienced.
Highly recommended!

I am about to book my third trip with Bharat and have found him to be honest, reliable and just about everything you could want from a trip advisor. Dont be put off by the fact that Breakfree Adventures offer a slightly lower price – their service is first class. Bharat was quick to respond to any concerns I raised, he personally ensured I was met in Bhutan despite my flight being delayed several hours due to weather. He gave me a substantial refund on his original quote a.s he had been able to get a cheaper flight for me. Once again I would recommend him without reservation
I booked a 4 day mountain biking tour through Breakfree Adventures, which sub-contracted through Everest Mountain Bikes. When I arrived, I had issues getting access to my cash, and no currency exchange at the airport would accept my Indian Rupees to convert to an accepted currency to pay for my Visa. Breakfree met me outside and gave me a huge bailout so that I could get my Visa worry-free and just added it on to my bill at the end. All my transportation was reliable and on-time, the accommodation was cost-sensitive yet great, and the sub-contracted company provided high quality bikes that were well-maintained with a great guide who spoke good English. The whole package including all pickup/drop-off, accommodation, bike, guide, etc. was less than $600. Very reliable and safe…highly recommend.
We plan to visit Kathmandu on our anniversary for 3 nights. We arrived Kathmandu on Feb. 14th and did biking to Nagarkot and back through Changu Narayan via Bhaktapur Durbar square. Great trail!
We call Breakfree Adventures a day before we arrived and they arranged everything so promptly in a very professional way. Our hotel room in Kathmandu was exceed our expectation. The guide is very professional and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour company if you are looking for a last minute vacation deals on the Himalayas.
Great job!

The Everest Base Camp Trek with Breakfree Adventures was absolutely stunning. I was recommended Breakfree Adventures with one of my friend who did treks in Nepal before with this company. Before I was booking the trip with them, I was really worried because I am young single lady travelling alone and though I would get some problem but I was absolutely wrong on my thoughts. Bharat, the manager pick me up from the airport on my arrival, give briefing about the trekking and give the answer what I have since it was my first visit to Nepal. Now I can tell everyone that Nepal is safe place to travel even you are young single lady. No problem when you have a reliable trekking crew. My guide was Govinda who had more than 10 years experience on leading treks in the Himalaya. He is very helpful, honest and informative. The porter Tenzin is very strong, he carries my bags + his bag as well and walk much faster than me.
I would highly suggest this company to everyone who is planning to visit Nepal for their adventure holiday.

I am in Kathmandu for 3 nights tour and i had done Everest Experience flight, guided Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan tour with this company. The flight over the Everest is very worthy. The tour to the historical places is really great. Guide Mr. Rames is very helpful, honest and informative. This timee i am here for short period but planning to back here in october for longer stay and go for a short walk on the foothills of the himalayas.
Great job Mr. Bharat for your excellent service.
Will be back soon to trek with your crews.
We had best experience on our group tour to Everest Base Camp with Breakfree adventures company. We like the way of welcoming in Nepal with marigold flower to the cultural evening in Kathmandu. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla was absolutely stunning. The hotels they provided on each location and the food they provided was excellent. There is no any comparison with our guide to other guides on the route. Our guide was even helping other traveler while they do not understand their guide because of language barrier. Our guide has lots of knowledge about Nepali culture, history, and specially the trekking routes. We were surprised because he knows almost everyone on the trekking route that is also how we can see his experience.
We would definitely go back to Nepal to do the Annapurna circuit next year and use Breakfree Adventures company.
I am in Nepal for my short period of time during Chinese new year with my friends and taken one of tour with Breakfree Adventures. Everything from our arrival on Jan 20 to by today, everything are going exactly what we expected and what we got details from Bharat, the manager of company. We never meet Bharat since he is also in a tour with his other group but he always follow up about we picked up on time, make sure the good room in each location etc. The best experience i had from the trip is flying over the fewa lake on paragliding and elephant bathing in Chitwan. I really wanna stay in CHitwan longer but do not have more time so stay here. SO SAD! Really want to back to visit this country and meet Bharat as well on our next trip. Good job Breakfree Adventures, keep it up always. See you again soon.
Namaste from Singapore to Bharat,
Thank you for excellent service and choosing Mr Govinda as my wonderful local guide for mountain trekking. Mr Govinda is very patient and friendly. He took care of me very well on trek. I enjoyed this wonderful mountain trekking with him. Both of you are most willing to communicate with me through paper and pen as I cannot hear very well. Its most blessing moment that I become as your friends as well.
I am really very happy that you have found me a beautiful deaf family homestay in small village at a mountain. I really learnt a lot of things especially deaf education and culture. I was totally very touched by their kindness and love. And Overall of my two weeks Solo trip, I really enjoyed spending my time in Nepal, collecting all good and great memories.
Therefore, please continue to keep your excellent services to all people who approach you for their planned trip to Nepal in near future.
It was my first trip to Nepal. Usually i travelled to Europe and the USA, so Nepal was absolutely unknown to me. Friendly speaking, before my trip to Nepal i hesitated a little bit. But as it turned out all my concerns were for nothing – evrything was organized perfect by Bharat.
It was unforgetable trip to Kathmandu, Pokhara, chitwan; fantastic rafting, everest trekking.
I would like to say THANKS A LOT again to Bharat and his team for help, support, for the exciting trip!!!
Hope to see your country soon!!
We had the amazing trip with the Breakfree Adventures group. Ghore pani trekking, was unforgettable. wwe went at elephant safari in Chitwan national park, and take kathmandu city tour.Food was perfect and very very pleasant trekking tour guids. Bharat, was very helpful, friendly . It was best trip of my life.
I visited Kathmandu in Feb 2011 and prior to going on my holiday I wanted to make sure that I would see all the great sights. I had been speaking regularly with Bharat and his team to discover what sights I should put in my itinerary during my time there. I have found both Bharat and his team to be very friendly and extremely helpful while ensuring that I will be seeing the best Kathmandu has to offer as well as Nepal as a nation. Highly recommended!!!!
wow.. this company is amazing. so dont look for other travel agencies because this is definitely the greatest one. I went with my fiance last December 2011. Ramesh gave us a warm welcome, everything is in order, on our last day we went with Bharat for a dinner and we had a great time. We stayed in nepal for 4 days only and every minute of the package that he suggest to us is worth it. Thanks Breakfree Adventures and looking forward to come back and go trekking.
Breakfree Adventures organised my trip to Nepal in December and honestly, nobody could have done a better job. My email enquiries were answered promptly and booking was easy and everything Id asked for was efficiently organised ready for my arrival.
Bharat is friendly, helpful and excellent at his job – nothing was too much trouble. He organised my trek as well as a few days in Pokhara, and on arrival quickly helped me sort out things for the trek as well as arranging sleeping bag hire, giving me maps of Kathmandu and showing me the best way to nip in to Thamel for last minute shopping.
The trek was absolutely stunning – breathtaking scenery along quiet trails. My guide, Govinda, was also very professional, friendly and helpful – it was much like trekking with a good friend, but one who already knew the way! I have never trekked with a private guide before, but would certainly do so again – I had the freedom to dictate the pace and the tea stops as well as the benefit of Govindas knowledge and experience.
I chose Breakfree on a friends recommendation and would definitely pass this recommendation on to anyone else.
I cant wait to go back, and will certainly use Breakfree Adventures for my next trip.
Thank you!
Bharat and his team could not have been more friendly and helpful throughout the trip. The trek was well organised and scenery awesome. The Yak trains are great, but a face mask would be good for protection against the dust. During the Exped Glenn was seriously ill with an allergic reaction to Diamox, and was ultimately rescued by helicopter and taken to hospital. Bharat himself met Glenn and Lynne at the airport and accompanied them to hospital in the ambulance and stayed with them during assessment, and until Glenn was comfortable in a private room. He remained in constant contact and as this incident curtailed our part of the trek Bharat arranged other trips for us, which included a very pleasant evening having dinner with his family. His attention could not have been better. The guides and porters were equally outstanding, friendly and accomodating. The rest of our group continued onto base camp, thoroughly enjoying their experience.
We had the very good trip with the Breakfree Adventures group. In the beginning we had the pickup from airport with Bharat and stay at the nice hotel. We had the nice tour of Kathmandu and our guide Ramesh for the trek was very friendly and our trek is very beautiful. Thank you Bharat for helping us to do the Langtang Trek. We had the unforgetable experience and will come back to Nepal very soon. Thank you and Namaste!
We absolutely loved our trip to Nepal; trekking in Upper Mustang and the lower part of the Annapurna Track followed by a few days in Pokhara and Chitwan. Bharat and the team at Breakfree Adventures really looked after us. Great communication before the trip and great service from the moment we arrived at the airport. First time I met Bharat face to face was when he “rescued” me from hordes of taxi drivers at the airport and he lend me some cash to pay for our visas ! – it was a real relief ! (note: Kathmandu Airport is very basic and does not have an ATM before you get to customs so make sure you carry the US$ that are necessary for your visa) – Our guide for Kathmandu and the guide and porter for our trek were fantastic, very helpful and friendly at all times, certainly went the extra mile to make it a cool trip for us.

I and friends of mine had an amazing trekking to the Everest base camp organized by the Breakfree Adventrues Company. We checked many agencies in Kathmandu and on internet before deciding for it. We choose Breakfree Adventures because of their price are highly competitive and the response of our email from them is very promptly.
The staff is very competent, professional and fluent English speaking.
We definitely recommend Breakfree Adventures for organizing your trekking!
This was my second trek in Nepal. I knew my guide Ramesh Duwadi from two years ago, as well as Bharat Sapkota who now manages Breakfree Adventure Travel. From planning all the details through online chats and e-mails, I could not have asked for better or more responsive service.
I started the trek with my friend Dennis who, unfortunately, had to drop out after 6 days of struggling with sleeplessness caused by altitude sicknes. We took him to the hospital in Lukla. Bharat was able to get him on a flight to Kathmandu and on to the U.S. the same day. For the rest of the trip, Ramesh and our porter Suria continued to do everything possible to make my experience unforgettably beautiful. Suria always had a welcoming smile when we talked, particularly when I struggled up the infamous Chola Pass. When I had to change the itinerary because bronchitis prevented my from going to Gorak Shep, Ramesh helped me by carrying my day pack for the rest of the trip. When we got to Lukla, hoping to fly out, we got stuck for 7 days because of dense fog. Ramesh made sure I lacked no comfort available.
I wish Bharat, Ramesh and Suria all the best and am grateful for all the excellent service and support I received. I also wish Bharat a lifetime of happiness with his bride. They will be married at the end of the month.

We did a private trek of the Annapurna circuit with Breakfree Adventures. Our guide was friendly, helpful and showed us parts of Nepal that I will always remember. In Kathmandu, the level of service from Bharat and the crew was fantastic, always making sure that we were never left wondering what was happening next without the feeling that we were on a package holiday.
If you are planning to go trekking in Nepal my recommendation would be book directly with Breakfree Adventures and get a private guide and porter. The smaller group allows you to interact with the Nepalese more readily and I found that it was easier and cheaper than booking through an Australian company.
Excellent service from the first question of interest to the report of results after the end of service
Bharat, the owner of the agency was everytime very competant, friendly, and attanded all questions inmediately. All services promised were held at its best. I can truely recommend this travel agency!
Bharat – wow it was a life time experience in Nepal. It took offf with a good start while corresponding from Dubai with you. The entire staff handled every detail and requests with real professionalism, warmth and confidence. You guys were so accommodating in every step of the way. The guides were excellent – while in Chitwan too – not only tthe guide we were appointed but the other guides too were very friendly and warm. We had a lovely stay and wished we had a couple of days extra – yes it was too short. Infact I told all of them there, that I will return only to spend time with you guys. You all did a great job and made our stay even more enjoyable. I have already spread the word around here in Dubai among my friends and they will contact you if they decide to make a trip to Nepal.
The trip to Chitwan was great – the food simple and excellent and tasty and the safari too was good. Bravo Great Job.
Breakfree Adventures organised our trip including the travel, stay and sightseeing from Kathmandu thru Chitwan on to Pokhara. Excellent service and great follow up at every step. The changes to the original plan was handled easily making the entire travel very easy. Great Job.
Kathmandu is an amazing place, with all its temples, stupas, worshippers , traffic, shops spilling on to the narrow roads in the Thamel district. The friendly Nepalese to help you when you get lost, and you will, the history of it all and the peaceful way so many faiths co-exist is a lesson to the world. But although the guide books tell you to haggle on prices, do you really want to bearing in mind their standard of living compared to yours? A yak wool shawl that takes one person 10 days to make- how much should you pay for it, how much would you want to be paid for 10 days work? Strongly advise going vegetarian and beware lassi a yogurt drink( i may have got Salmonella from it, or other food at a banquet) Use a city guide to explain the customs and get the most out of a days visit,& they expect a good tip. Fog stops flights frequently though so leave some flexibility in your return flight home ! Kantipur Temple House is a great place to stay, beautiful architecture, good food and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility which is great after the noise and explosion of sounds, smells and sights which bombard the senses. A lovely place to chill out and refresh the soul.
When we spend our holidays to Nepal, we use this company. This guy is so cool. They have the best guidance, they used the best hotel in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan. We really want to go back again soon elephant riding with these guys.
Während meines selbstorganisierten Urlaubes im März 2011 in Kathmandu hat mich Herr Sapkota (Inhaber Breakfree dventures Day Trips) bei 2 Ausflügen begleitet, und diese organisiert. Es war jeweils ein 1/2 Tages-Ausflug, ausgehend von Kathmandu.
Zum Einen hat er mit mir den “Schlafenden”Vishnu (Vishnu von Budhanilkantha )besucht und an einem anderen Tag das “Kopan Monastery”(nördlich von Bodnath).
Herr Sapkota spricht sehr gut englisch. Er ist sehr freundlich, zuivorkommend, flexibel und hilfsbereit. Er organisierte jeweils ein Taxi und führte die Preisverhandlungen.
Die Auflüge waren kostengünstig und sehr individuell, auf meine Wünsche abgestimmt.
Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, auch geprägt von der Aufgeschlossenheit und Freundlichkeit der Menschen (so auch Herr Sapkota).
Vielen dank an Breakfree Adventures, Hr Bharat Sapkota.

Namaste! Our whistle stop tour of Nepal was amazing. From the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu along with a cultural evening, to the peace and tranquility of trekking to Sarangkot. From sightseeing in Pokhara to elephant riding at Chitwan and finally the fantastic views while flying over Everest. Our 7 day adventure was brilliant! We could not possibly have seen so much without the help of Bharat from Break Free Travel who organised everything.
