About
We offer adventure trekking tours, day sightseeing and mountain climbing in Nepal. We are registered trekking company operate adventure holidays in Nepal. We are based on Kathmandu, Nayabazar. The word "Satori" in the Zen Buddhist tradition refers to a flash of sudden awareness, or individual enlightenment and is considered a “first step” or embarkation toward nirvana. Satori Adventures assists in this individual and group enlightenment by providing our clients with the best possible experiences in some of the most amazing locations in Himalayas. This may take place by foot or on a mountain bike to the remote and amazingly beautiful wilderness areas of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Makalu and Kanchenjunga to the rarely visited wilderness of Langtang, Dolpo and to the magic and mystique of the Kingdom of Upper Mustang.

I am not going to reiterate the excellent appraisals the company is getting from other reviews because they are all true and can only confirm that from my 40 years experience in Nepal, my first visit was in 1981, Satori ranks among the very best, and talking value for money is the best. What I wanted to underline is that the real value of a company like Satori you can test in the times of crisis and unfortunately the May of 2021 is such a time again in Nepal due to COVID pandemic. Thousands of trekkers and mountaineers are stranded in the mountains and in Kathmandu due to the suspension of all flights- domestic and international.
Rishi, the owner of the company, did and is doing the fantastic job making sure that every single client is safely evacuated first to Kathmandu and than back to his/her home country giving it the level of support and personal involvement I can only call exemplary. I am now safely on my way home only thanks to his extraordinary efforts.
Thank you Rishi and hope to see you soon!

I made it to the summit of Mt. Everest on the morning of 23 May 2021.
It was my 3rd visit to Nepal and 2nd trip with Satori Adventures. It was a very tricky year due to the pandemic but Rishi Bhandari and Satori team was too good.
Satori Adventures went out of the way to make my dream come to despite the hostile situations and so many setbacks faced by all of us. Safety was on priority and all arrangements were great. The Sherpas were. very experienced and there were extra Sherpas sent for backup. The food was really great and the base camp staff was humble.
I saw a lot of other much more expensive organizers unable to serve their clients as well as Satori. The success ratio at Everest in 2021 was not even 50%, but fortunately, multiple members of our team made it to the summit in good health.
Satori Adventures never gave up on us while many other organizers abandoned their climbs due to various challenges, SA valued our dream and investment of time, money, and passion. I can't wait to climb other big mountains with them again in the near future.

We discovered the offer of Satori expedition to climg himlung himal (7126m) from their web site. We were seduced by the quality of the offer, the time spent at base camp to ensure success and the price, which was very competitive compared with other expedition agencies. But what means a good price? is it made possible by a low quality organization? These are questions that one may wonder before actually doing the expedition. Now that we came back, I can say that the organisation was top quality. Excellent base camp confort and organization, excellent food at base camp, excellent support from the sherpas during the climb (one sherpa per customer during the summit push), excellent atmosphere. Everything was perfect and thanks to that, my son and I could climb himlung himal successfully. So succesfully, that we were ahead of schedule by 8 days. Then I asked to take advantage of the days to do the annapurna trek via the Nar valley and the Kang la pass. Within a day, this modification of the program was organised for the two of us, and with a guide and a porteur, we could do this wonderful trek. This illustrate the main quality of this agency (and of his leader, Rishi Bandari), flexibility and reactivity. Whatever your need, they will find a solution to satisfy it. I thus recommend this agency 100% and hope to go again in Nepal with them.

For me selecting a guide/logistics provider for my Everest climb was a big decision. I spent lot of time shopping around and asking ton of questions to company such as Satori and even friends who had climbed Everest in past.
Mr Rishi the owner has had an open communication from the very first email I sent him and had answered every single question. He is hands on and gives lot of importance on climbers safety and their needs. Takes good care while you are in Kathmandu!
Satori also has a very very strong Sherpa team, their experience, expertise and decision making is absolutely amazing. Kitchen staff and Head chef took great care while at base camp, made amazing food, I actually ended up gaining weight through out this expedition, which is rare, climbers normally loose around 10-15kgs.
One of the climbers on my team required immediate helicopter evacuation from Camp two. With help of lead Sherpa and Rishi we were able to get her evacuated within hours and possibly saving her life.
Base camp facilities were great and super comfortable, with personal tents, clean toilet tents, on-demand hot showers, well stocked dinning tents with various snacks, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, solar and gas generated power supply. I wish Satori had dome tent for lounging like most other teams but besides that there was no real complaints. Everyone from the Porters to Kitchen Staff to Sherpa team to the owner himself, they all went above and beyond to make this expedition memorable.
I was able to safely and successfully climb Lobuche East, Everest and Lhotse with Satori in Spring 2022. I strongly recommend them for Treks and climbs in Nepal.

We did Upper Dolpo Trek in Nepal this may, with exiting in Phoksundo lake. Satori Adventures provided us useful service of airport transfers, permits issuing and guide service on trek. They helped us with itinerary planning, flight tickets and lodging in Kathmandu in the nice hotel.

Our guides are very professional and really really took good care of everyone.
This trip with tears and laugh exciting and exhausting, but definitely worthy to go again, the beautiful mountain view made me forgot how to breath, the totally different experience in the village, back to the simple traditional way, but also make me more cherish what I have. I’ll never forget this amazing journey! Thank you Satori, thank you Rishi!

Wonderful trek. Loved Nepal, the people and the food.
Satori were very responsive during the planning stage and everything was well organised once we were in country. Satori and in particular, Rishi, take a very personal approach to the whole trip from initial meeting to final goodbyes. Our guide, Mekh, was outstanding and both our porters, Toman and Kesher were superb - all were very much part of our group. We will miss them now it is all over.
The arranged hotel and teahouse accommodation throughout was very good as were all the meals.
The itinerary worked really well with well selected stopping points on route and we felt no need to take advantage of the flexibility offered.
We did expect the route to be busier than we actually experienced.

We had an amazing and worry free experience on the Manaslu Circuit trek that we completed two weeks ago. All thanks to Rishi and the Satori team. Without them these would not have been possible. This is the 3rd time when we used Satori Adventure for trekking in the Himalayas and the quality of the service was outstanding every time. Highly recommended.

Another incredible trek with Satori Adventures. Every organised down to the smallest detail. Rishi and the team at Satori are like family to us, they welcome us and look after us and we can only say how grateful we are for your kindness and professionalism. Everest Base Camp trek was everything I hoped for, amazing scenery, the kindest people, lots of laughs and loads of fun. We will keep these memories for a lifetime. Thanks to everyone at Satori, thank you Rishi and family. We miss you all already xx

Once in a lifetime experience to EBC. Satori Adventures made it happen. Everything was very well organized and detailed oriented. The Tour guides, Tea House accommodations, Food, planning is having a 5-star experience being in the Himalayas. Rishi was exceptional host and made us feel like home in a foreign country and took care of all our needs. I would highly recommend Satori Adventures in Nepal to my friends and family.
