Reviews
Posted onVerified Trekking was fun Trekking the Manaslu Circuit was an unforgettable experience. The trail offers stunning mountain views, authentic villages, and a peaceful atmosphere far less crowded than other popular treks in Nepal.Posted onVerified Focus on Personal Service & Guide Expertise We recently returned from a trek with Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the initial planning stages in Kathmandu to the final day of the trek, the level of professionalism was outstanding. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the Langtang peaks and local Tamang culture but also felt like a true friend who prioritized our safety and comfort above all else.The logistics were seamless—teahouse bookings, meals, and transportation were all handled perfectly, allowing us to just soak in the breathtaking views of Langtang Lirung and the surrounding glaciers. If you want a worry-free adventure in Nepal with a team that truly cares, look no further!Posted onVerified Everest Base Camp trek as a solo traveler – unforgettable experience I did the Everest Base Camp trek as a solo traveler, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. I booked my trek with Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition, and from the beginning everything felt well organized and supportive.From the time I arrived in Kathmandu, the team helped me with preparation and explained the daily plan clearly. My guide was experienced, friendly, and very patient, especially when the altitude started to feel challenging. He regularly checked on me and made sure I was comfortable throughout the trek.Even though I was trekking solo, I never felt alone on the trail. The guide and porters were very supportive, and I met other trekkers along the way, which made the journey more enjoyable. Reaching Everest Base Camp was an emotional moment and something I’ll always remember.Accommodation and food along the route were better than expected for such remote areas, and safety was always taken seriously. I would happily recommend Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition to anyone planning the Everest Base Camp trek. It was a genuine and well-managed experience and truly a lifetime memory.Posted onVerified PRIVATE TREKKING IN KANG Organization to the TOP. Guide and porter with little care. Beautiful trek in a country for now still wild. Even the sun from the 1st to the last day was there.Interlocutor speaking in perfect French. Great experience.If we return to Nepal it will be with them.Posted onVerified Great experience in Khumbu region I had a great experience trekking and climbing with Nepal Guide Treks. My original route (Mera Peak-Amphu Laptsa Pass-Island Peak) was not possible as the the pass was closed due to the heavy snowstorms end of Oct. The agency and my excellent guide Gelchen Sherpa were very flexible and after summiting the Mera Peak we went back to Lukla and trekked to Island Peak via the EBC. Also communication with Prakash before my arrival in Nepal was smoothly and clear.I felt safe and taken care throughout the whole trek and especially during the two peak climbs. I can highly recommend them to solo travelers.Posted onVerified Once in a life time trip to climb mera peak. And so much more booked before and after from these guides. Really recommend them. Fantastic, sorted trips out before and after My climb up mera peak. Nothing is to much trouble, can contact them anytime about your plans. Would just like to thank themPosted onVerified Trip of a Lifetime Thank you Prakash Devkota for making my dream of climbing Mera Peak come true. Great communication through out and my guide Dandee and Sherpa Ming-ma were incredible. This is the perfect trip for anyone looking to climb a 6000M peak in the Himalayas. I highly recommend booking with Nepal Guide Treks & Expeditions.Posted onVerified Mera Peak Trek Nepal Guide Treks offered a first-class experience. I arrived shortly after the democracy protests and there was still a lot of confusion. All the other trekkers had cancelled and there were no internal flights. Prakash Devkota didn’t let this impact my expedition and organised overland travel and I am sure ran the whole trip just for me at a financial loss. The weather was awful until we reached 4500m then blue skies and stunning landscape. Had a brilliant time being the first and only person on the Mera Peak Summit. I am 60+ and had done lots of training but found the whole trip much easier than the pre trek preparations. Can’t wait to return to Nepal.Posted onVerified Good service and solution-oriented. This was my second trekking in Nepal alone but the first time with firm to Mr. Prakash. I got good and detailed information ahead of the trip and had a meeting with him the day before the draw started where he gave me detailed information about the trip. The company is reliable, honest and solution-oriented. My guide was experienced and concerned with my safety all the way. I felt well taken care of throughout the trip. Mr. Prakash stretched far to accommodate my strange wishes.This made the trip a great experience. Will use them for more trips in Nepal in the future.Posted onVerified Super good organised hike Langtang to Yala-Peak Hiking the Langtang valley was wonderfull!! final summit of Yala was realy superrrrrr COOL.Thanks everyone at peakclimbingnepal!Load more
