Trip of a lifetime. - Completed Everest Base Camp and 3 Passes Trek. Nepal Alternative Treks was a terrific company to deal with. Tej the owner was very helpful and answered all my questions. Tek the guide was extremely capable and made the trip a success. This company is organised and trustworthy. I would definitely go with them again.

Everest Base Camp Trekking with breathtaking scenery in the midst of epic mountains - It was our first time in Nepal and at EBC. Mr Tej organised the trekking according to our wishes. The porter was great, but overall we were not completely satisfied with the guide, who had little knowledge of the flora and fauna and the Himalayan mountains. For us, it was an amazing experience overall. We are planning to take the NATT ACT in autumn. Communication with Mr Tej is very good and he keeps his promises. We were extremely lucky that the flights from Kathmandu to Lukla and back took place as planned.

Great guide, good experience - Amar (our guide) was the best: great English, a positive, can-do spirit, got us out of a few administrative pickles too when the weather turned in Lukla and all the planes were grounded. No issue to big or impossible to solve. Trek itself was beautiful, well paced. The lodges are all quite basic particularly towards the top so best not to expect too much there (this is not the fault of the agency but just a fact of what trekking is like in Nepal)

Everest Base Camp review! - One of the best experiences of my life! From start to finish, the trekking agency was incredibly professional and helpful. The exceptional arrangements and assistance from Tej and Kumar, our phenomenal guide, made the journey smooth and enjoyable. We were able to fully appreciate the majestic view of Sagarmatha and her surrounding peaks in the best possible way. The porters were fantastic, and the comfort and coziness provided in the trip were amazing. There were no problems even for elderly people (60+) with their arrangements. Tej ji went above and beyond to ensure our safety, and his effort to make our relationship more than just a business deal will be cherished forever. The pricing is fair, making it an excellent choice. Highly recommend this agency for anyone looking for an unforgettable trekking experience!

The best team at your service - When Tej and his team is around they will make sure you are comfortable and your purpose of the trip is fulfilled. Our EBC trek in March 2024 was a great success. Yugal our guide and the porter both were very friendly and helpful throughout the trek. The arrangements and itinerary were perfectly designed. Kudos for the great work Nepal alternative treks team. Highly recommended and will see you soon on another trek.

Amazing company and experience! - My trek to EBC/Chola Pass/Gokyo was as amazing as it was because of Nepal Alternative Treks! From the start Tej sent me a WhatsApp message to ensure everything was taken care of before my arrival to Kathmandu. Once I arrived he met me for tea and to go over what the next 2 weeks would look like. As a solo female traveler I felt extremely safe and well taken care of for the entire 15 days. My guide, Ritika, was the absolute best. It was so awesome to see a female guide in such a male dominated industry. She was incredibly kind, funny and friendly and had so many friends on the mountains! Once I returned I again met with Tej to talk about the amazing journey and offer any feedback. I would definitely look to book with them again on any future trekking and recommend them to anyone looking to do some trekking in Nepal!

A Slick Production - Tej provided a slick production from top to bottom. He took care of every detail which allowed for twelve days of jaw-dropping and worry-free trekking. I would like to give a special shout out to our guide Nauser who took such good care of us on the trail with a sunny, easy-going manner that makes him part companion, part comedian, part hospitality manager. I will never trek in Nepal with anyone else. I feel a close affinity with him. Our porters were Sudeep, Santos, and my favorite person in Nepal, German. They do what I could never do: haul the weight of my pack at twice the speed in half the time with high-spirited energy. Because of them, I was always comfortable and had warm clothes to change into once I arrived at the tea house. My one suggestion might be to bring a hand scale for luggage to be sure your pack meets the 10kg limit for the airline. Tej also prefers this limit for the comfort and safety of his porters which shows his care for his employees. As I said, I would never consider using another outfitter for a Nepal trek. We are already talking about our next excursion on the trail. But what could ever beat the scenery of Everest region?
