Reviews
Verified 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. Prakash the managing director has been very accommodating to my last minute change of plans to go to Lumbini from Pokhara. i would recommend to my friends and definitely will come back again next year to try summit pisang peak.Verified 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!Verified 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!Verified Best climbing Went for Mera,Island and Lobuche with my friends. Undoubtedly, one of the best climbing we have done so far. Prakash and entire Nepal guide treks team were very accommodating and helped us in every step. One of my friend didn’t have enough jackets but Prakash in no time organised everything for him and made sure we all are happy. Will definitely be coming back!Verified Mera peak Climbing Wow, what's a great experience with " Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition P.Ltd". Our Guide Sonam Sherpa and porters make our mera peak climbing memorable.It would be impossible without prakash Devkota (OWNER OF NEPAL GUIDE) and his support.My boyfriend got sick at high camp, and we did call Mr praksh. After a phone conversation with him, we have decided to go down and see how my boyfriend feels, We go down to khare wait for his good health and next in the morning he was absolutely fine and we did successfully summit climbing.Once again, thanks for Nepal Guide TreksVerified MANASLU CIRCUIT TREK Manasalu circuit Trek was just an excellent and thnaks for "Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition P.Ltd" and Sherpa Team who makes our journey memorable..Verified Mera peak Expedition in Nepal We are very much appreciated. Thank you so much for the best climbing experience ever we had it in Nepal. We did Mera peak climb with Nepal guide treks and Expedition, weather was so bad many people were returning without summit climbing but we had great Guide Lhakpa Sherpa and porters (Sonam, dendi and Dorji) who made our dream successful with mera peak Summit Climbing.We do highly recommended “Nepal Guide Treks and the owner Mr. Prakash Devkota, who has done his best for our safety and successful climbing.Verified Top class service and guiding Professional operator! Kept me informed during booking process by WhatsApp. Excellent guide and porter. All lodges bar one were very good. Flexible approach and success on the peaks. Would use again.Verified Mera Peak We had a great time doing Mera Peak trek. 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.Verified 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
