Satori organized the 40 day trip to Nepal for me and a good friend of mine. After Rishi's first proposal of a shorter and more generic trip to EBC with Lobuche East and Island peak, we asked for a longer and more challenging experience with a custom route. This was no problem at all (at a new price, of course), and Rishi came up with some extra program to complete our experience. In the end we started with a short 3-day trekking to Mohare Dada / Poon Hill near Pokhara and then flew to the Everest region. There we started with the classic 3 passes trekking which was planned to be extended with Island Peak, Amphu Laptsa pass and Mera Peak. Because of fatigue and bad weather, we decided on the way to descend back to Lukla before finally summitting Mera Peak and omit Amphu Laptsa. This added quite some extra costs to the trip which Rishi kindly didn't charge at all. Instead, we enjoyed several meals together in Kathmandu and received free gifts with a nice surprise at the end. Our Sherpa guide(s) (one for trekking and two for climbing), two porters and cooks at the camps always were very friendly, helpful, attentive, motivating and professional and did their best to ensure we had a great time in the mountains. We hope to return to Nepal one day and extend our experience together with Satori.
Thank you very much to Satori Adventures for making my Mera Peak Climbing Amazing .Everything was well planned and executed smoothly. This company provided outstanding customer service from I arrived in the Kathmandu Airport. They give me the warm greetings and take to the top rated hotel accommodations. During our tour the company is very organized and professional. The Staffs (Office staff, Trekking guide, Sherpa’s) was very experienced and knowledgeable. They make my entire experience in Nepal exceeded my expectations thanks to Satori Adventures.
I would highly recommend them when planning a trip to Nepal.
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 had spoken to some friends who had already trekked and climbed with Satori Adventures. They had nothing but good things to say about their experiences and the company Managing Director Rishi Bandhari. I decided to book my own trek and climb of Mera Peak. As it turned out, the people who were supposed to be part of my group upon arrival in Kathmandu cancelled their trip last minute do to serious health complications. This was totally beyond the control of Rishi Bhandari and his excellent team at Satori Adventures. Against my better judgement, I started the journey on my own and after a few days on the mountain with my "private" guide and porter, I decided to come back down and abandon my journey. My trip could have ended very badly but it was not the case. Rishi proposed a new trip agenda that would allow me to see other parts of the country including the Chitwan National Park and also visit Pokhara and do some nice trekking on the start of the Annapurna Trail. I didn't end up on the top of Mera Peak as originally planned but my trip was a great success nonetheless. The people at Satori Adventures are amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip through them or highly recommend this company to friends and people who may be looking for a great company to organize their next trip or adventure.
I did Mera Peak Climb through Satori Adventures. Rishi the owner of company is amazing and very easy to deal with. He customized Itinerary according to our requirements. There were last minute changes which Rishi was helpful with and worked to accommodate the same. Rishi was always available to respond to any questions. We had amazing guide with us through the climb and all tea house and everything along the way was good and we had a amazing climb. Would highly recommend Satori and Rishi. My wife and Mom were also in Katmandu doing sight seeing around Pokhara, Chitwan etc and Rishi worked out a very good travel itinerary for them as well and accommodated all our requests. So highly recommend Satori Adventures.
Satori organised a fantastic expedition to climb Mera peak and Baruntse - everything was spot on, the planning for the expedition, the tea houses used on the trek in and out, and of course the quality of my climbing Sherpa (Nurbu), who was fantastic! I couldn’t recommend Satori more, and when I return to Nepal, they will be my first port of call. Thank you Rishi for organising such a super expedition, I will remember it always. Tristan
