KT T2025-05-01Verified Pisang Peak I had a wonderful time with Ngawang Sherpa who was my trekking/climbing guide. Even though we couldn't summit the peak due to me having AMS sickness, i absolutely enjoy myself with the company of my guide and 2 very friendly porters. Never a day dull and as a first timer to Nepal, i am glad i choose Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition as my trekking company.

Kayla S2025-04-07Verified Amazing trek and summit!! As a solo female traveler (27) that had never been to Nepal, I wanted to make sure I found a group that I felt safe and didn’t have to worry about logistics. I chose Nepal Guide Treks and Expeditions because they had good reviews on TripAdvisor and I am so glad I did!! Prakash was available to answer my millions of questions at all hours of the day. Upon arriving, I met my guide Sonam Sherpa, who was absolutely amazing the entire trek. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge that enabled me to summit Mera peak feeling safe (don’t discount just how high the peak is) and have a great time along the way. I am very very grateful to Prakash and Sonam for making this trip so memorable and enjoyable! Rexy W2025-03-29Verified A fantastic experience on my Larkya Peak trip I had a amazing trip with Nepal Guides and Expedition! I was a bit nervous to start with, as i havent booked any previous trips with them. I did however not have to be nervous at all. The trip was very well organised from the beginning right to the end. The communication was excellent and replies to any questions were super quick. The guide, climbing sherpa and porter were absolutely amazing! Their knowledge of the area, plants and wildlife are amazing! Unfortunately due to weather, we didnt manage to summit but I had a amazing trip none the less and was looked after and guided fantastically.When i got back to Kathmandu, i decided to spend the last three days in Chitwan for a safary and again, the company were really helpful to organise a outstanding trip, from one day to the next.I highly recommend Nepal Guides and Expedition!A massive thank you to all of the team!

Our guide Samdu was good company and knowledgable. We had some issues with stomach illness, yet he still allowed us to try for the summit (which we made) as he had established our level of experience and trusted we would back out if became unwell with altitude sickness. There were some issues with communication regarding the itinerary and equipment, but these were sorted out (so would be 4.5 stars). We were very grateful for flights in and out of Lukla, when many were going via Ramechap. christina2024-10-17Verified Unforgettable Journey to Manaslu Circuit Trek I recently had an opportunity to trek the Manaslu Circuit with the Nepal Guide Treks team. And it has become one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.The team was professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the entire journey. This made me secure for the worries I had as a first time trekker. The accommodations along the route were cozy and comfortable. And the meal was fresh and delicious. Our trekking guide, Dawa, did everything that could make our journey more enjoyable and remarkable.The Manaslu region was otherworldly. The landscapes that changed from lowland hills and valleys to rugged high altitude terrains were a feast for my eyes. The most adventurous part was crossing the Larkya La Pass. Standing at its breathtaking height was both exciting and rewarding experience.For everyone looking forward to the Manaslu Circuit Trek I recommend you book with Nepal Guide Trek. I am sure that you will not regret it.Load more
