We did a very nice trek last winter, reaching the Everest base camp, then crossing Cho-La pass and return from the valley of Gokyo. Rishi has planned everything very well, welcoming and greetings us like brothers. Our guide Pema sherpa, perfectly knew the territory, and also the customs, the mountains and local flora and fauna. Has always been kind to please our schedule changes, where possible, also visiting other destinations. Thanks to all the team of Satori Adventures! We hope to return soon!
We climbed and have treks may times with Rishi's team. It was great everytime: Mera Peak, Manaslu round trip, ...
We encourage everyone who wants to discover this so nice country and high mountains paradise to join Rishi's company.
We have beeb accompanied with Bibek and other guides. All the time they were very profesional
I've been trekking two times in Nepal and both of them with the help and assistance of Satori Adventures . We had great time, people were very nice and helpful and Rishi made us fell at home!
A special thank to our guides.
Keep on like this guys!!!
A successful Everest expedition needs everything from an experienced and a strong Sherpa team, cooks, and other staff at the base camp, reliable and well tested equipment such as tents, ropes, high altitude stoves, wide variety of food selection inclusive of fresh vegetables, and fresh fruits, specialized high altitude food, good base camp facilities such as individual tents, clean and well maintained kitchen, dining, shower, and loo tents for the entire team and staff, brand new oxygen bottles, high quality summit masks and regulators for the climbers and Sherpa guides, a comfortable and luxury trek in and out of the base camp, and above all a strong ground operation in Kathmandu that takes care of all government formalities and paperwork, and is available to organize rescues incase of emergencies on the mountain.
Rishi and Satori adventures provided every single thing from the above list, and they went above and beyond all expectations. 6 out of 7 members made it to the top of Mt. Everest and made it back down alive. A big part of this success is due to the Satori adventures' team and organization both on and off the mountain. Rishi as the CEO of Satori adventures provided us full support throughout our Everest climb. Rishi understands how to run a big mountain expedition and deeply cares for the success and safety of all expedition members. Two of the climbers on my team required immediate helicopter evacuation from Camp two, and Rishi organized that without any delay.
If you are looking to climb Everest or any of the other 8000 meter mountains in Nepal or Tibet, I would highly recommend that you go with Satori adventures. And if you are looking to do any trekking or climbing a 6000 meter or a 7000 meter mountain I would again recommend to climb with Rishi and his team. I have now been on three 8000 meter mountain expeditions and one 6000 meter mountain expedition with Rishi and his team and I have no complaints at all. Every single aspect of the expedition is very well taken care of. Highly Highly Highly recommended!
My recent trek to Everest Base Camp was a success thanks to Satori Adventures and Expeditions. Dan Nash and Daniela Liscio (Eat For Sport) prepared me well for the trek and Rishi Bhandari made a logistical nightmare look like a piece of cake. Our guide Rupkaji Thapa Magar knew the area quite well and our porter Jiban Rana Magar made it easy. What a team!
On a scale of 1-10 these guys rate a 12!
My first trip to Nepal was so very beautiful thanks to this wonderful company that made all of my dreams possible on my journey through Nepal. Thank you

Everest Basecamp via Gokyo Lakes and Cho-La Pass.
I actually traveled in May 2014 with Rishi's previous company, but he has since set up a new company alone, which I fully support. It was a truly unforgettable trip. Such wonderful people both in Kathmandu and in the mountains. My guide, Lakpa Sherpa, was extremely well qualified for my trek and had summited Everest twice, and almost a 3rd. My porter Subaz was also so lovely and extremely helpful.
My body didn't deal well with altitude towards the top but I was kept safe and the situation was managed extremely well, both by Lakpa at my side and by Rishi over the phone in Kathmandu. Rishi was excellent throughout the planning phase - helpful and quick responses to emails, and tailored a trek for what I wanted to see. The price was extremely reasonable too, and I much preferred paying a local Nepalese company to a UK (or otherwise) based company who are far more expensive and don't feed as much of the payment into the local community. It was one of my favourite trip ever - the people, culture and landscape were a true pleasure to whitness and be part of. My experience was so great that Rishi and I have remained friends since my visit 2 years ago.
It was a pleasure to deal with Satori, while planning and preparing for our two-weeks trip to Tibet. Communication was fast and efficient and covered any aspect. Every aspect of the trip was well arranged: flights, car, guide, accommodation. No hassles about changing prices, and in fact extra services at no cost.
Overall costs were highly competitive and much lower than woudl have been the case if the same trip would have been booked through a European agency.
Highly recommended for a trip to and within Tibet.
A very pleasant visit to Gokyo-ri, minus the crowd. The organizer had arranged for me a very good English speaking guide, very experienced and familiar with the trek, also knowledgeable in Nepal's history and geography. He knows I like to see wild animals, and he would look out and alert me. So we spotted 3 really big mountain goats crossing the trail in front of us, took great pictures, and I really appreciate that!
Rishi and his company Satori provide very good services and support for us. They are very reliable and they took care of all our needs. Thanks again for all your support ! Adrian
I’ve travelled to Nepal twice. Once in 2011, when, along with friends from Canada and Romania, we trekked the wonderful Annapurna Circuit. Second time it was in 2013, when, with a small group of friends, we trekked to Everest Base Camp. Both were amazing adventures, excellently organized by Mr. Rishi Bhandari and the wonderful team at Satori Adventures. The level of service exceeded our expectation and was greatly appreciated!
Rishi and his team became our friends and we've remained in touch ever since. I warmly recommend them to anyone who wants to travel to Nepal. They are very professional, will accommodate all your needs and they feel like family. I consider them my family away from home.
Rishi, the painting that you so nicely gave to me as a present is hanging in my bedroom and it reminds me every day of Himalayas, of you and all my Nepali friends.
Greetings from Canada!
Namaste,
an unforgertable trip!!! no matter how long you have to walk, the ending is always beautiful. dont forget a good shoes. this is very important. thank to satori adventures, they have a really good customer service :)
Well organized expedition - I have nothing to complain about;)
I spent time for acclimatisation in Khumbu where I climbed Lobuche East 6119m before I departed to Annapurna 8091m which I succesfully climbed - after the expedition we departed quickly by helicopter and arrived very fast in kathmandu. My requests where all completly taken care of - it was a very nice experince - I felt I can trust this Company!
excellent with the organization.
they waited for us at the airport, eventhough the flight had 5h delay
they ensured all transfers, prepared everything, we had nothing to worry about all through our stay in Nepal.
the lodges selected were nice, with very good food.
the guide on the trek was very kind, attentive and helpful
the views are amazing, the trek si very nice
we that a great time and we recommend it to all!
This is the 3rd time visit Nepal for trekking and also the 3rd time I use the service from Rishi. He provide quick response for all inquiries and very well organised for our trip. Satori Adventure's team was extremely helpful and professional. The success of this trip for all my group (15people) came from their support.
The borrowed equipment (Down jacket, duffle bag and down sleeping bag) were cleaned and working well during trekking.
They provide unexpected service that we did not aware of it; Visiting the camp at EBC and offering to stay the the base camp are very impressive services that we did not expect before.
Highly recommend to all and look forward to using again on my next trip.
Hi All, Me and a big group of friends (15 pax) was trek to EBC via classic route across Chola Pass. Apart of the magnificent view along the long trail, I was impressive on our agency Satori Adventures. Head guide and all porters had delivered us their friendship, hospitality and even more. I had notice their well organize, professional way to solve either small to a serious problem until the whole group reach to our dram destination and trek along the way safely and happily. A very good communication to explain and discuss in any issue is always done. This perfect trip with be sitting long and long time in my memory.
I have used Satori Adventures in Kathmandu several times and have found them to be professional, organized, provide excellent service and that they really go above and beyond to ensure your expedition is trip is a life changing experience.
Its big plesure for me to work with Satori. Very professional people and what is more important extremlly friendly ! :-)
Services are excellent ,Good humble staffs , comfort zone & provides accurate information . Be sure you will be in good hand
