Unforgettable Himalaya expereince - My daughter and I went on the Manaslu trekking adventure and it was an amazing experience! Rajesh from Nepal Trekking Experts (NTE) recommended to go in November because of the best weather conditions and indeed, we had blue skies each and every day! Rajesh also suggested to welcome four more people to the group, which turned out to be a great idea. We were lucky to meet lovely people! Together with our wonderful guide Lok and porters Kosis, Rames and Tej we formed a small 'Himalaya bubble' and created a strong bonding together. I was the slowest of the group and experienced guide Lok was always behind me, modest but strong and ready to safe me when I would almost fall. The support from Lok and the porters made a big difference! They smiled, served our food, carried our luggage with ease, played card games with us (Lok always won, haha) and took care of us all the time. I love hiking in the Alps or Dolomites, but the Himalaya really is 'next level'! The beautiful views, the variations in landscape, the culture and our group with Lok and porters were wonderful. I think we were very lucky that NTE made this possible. Rajesh was very flexible and happy to adjust plans or make additional reservations upon request. We can highly recommend NTE. Now that we are back home, our thought are in the Himalaya all the time. We miss Nepal and will come back!

Manaslu Upper Route Circuit Trek with Nepal Trekking Experts – a splendid adventure! - This autumn, we had a most rewarding trekking experience with the Nepal Trekking Experts when our group of 12 trekkers from Estonia completed the Manaslu Upper Route Circuit Trek. We were delighted with the professional service and care provided by the Nepal Trekking Experts, with Rajesh Neupane in the lead. The trip was well planned with all the details in place, and communication throughout the preparation phase was smooth and effective. Rajesh has a very good sense of people and the emotional capacity to prepare the trekkers for the strenuous trip and provide the necessary support, making it a memorable, successful, and rewarding experience. A crucial element for that was a group meeting in his Kathmandu office a day before we headed out on the trek. Nepal Trekking Experts took care of the whole itinerary with full accommodation and transport services, required documentation and permits, licensed trekking guides, porters with complimentary duffel bags, detailed advice on the necessary gear/equipment, ensuring meals during the trek (including travel days), a welcome dinner in Kathmandu, and finally, a certificate once the trek was completed. Furthermore, Rajesh gave clear advice on the necessary insurance coverage and was well prepared to provide full support from the office should anyone from the group require rescue or medical services during the trek. This was enabled not only by well-prepared documentation but also by well-functional communication between the trekking guides and Rajesh, if needed and as much as telecom services allowed it in the remote mountain area. Also, keeping to the agreed time worked very well with Rajesh and his team. Next to Rajesh, two other persons from Nepal Trekking Experts were absolutely crucial for the success of the trek – our phenomenal trekking guides Basanta Devkota and Santosh Lamichhane. We were amazed by their professional approach, warm personalities, great sense of humour, and ability to consistently keep up the mood and take care of any issues with a calm and firm attitude. During walking, Santosh led the way and kept optimal pace while Basanta, the lead guide, stayed at the end of the group and kept it together. Basanta took excellent care of all key arrangements and decision-making during the trek. With his advanced English skills and broad knowledge base, he was also a perfect guide to Nepali culture and religion, nature and society. As an additional activity during the trek, he helped to arrange a couple of folk music and dance performances by local ethnic groups, both Nepali and Bothe (the latter being close to Tibetan people). Also, on radial days, our guides surprised us by preparing delicious soup in a Buddhist monastery or arranging porters to come meet us with warm food and hot tea after we had descended from a 5000m Ruy La pass to the Tibetan border. Saying this, I also want to praise our porters Teg Thapa, Bhupendra, Ramsh, and Kosis, who took good care of our luggage and, on several days, came to meet us during the last part of the trek to carry the backpacks of some of our group members. The local trekking team became more than just guides or porters to us. Another person to bring out is Rabin Neupane, Rajesh’s brother, who welcomed us at the airport on arrival and arranged the welcome dinner in Kathmandu. As Rabin and Santosh had been the guide and porter, respectively, of another Estonian group on the Manaslu trek a couple of years ago, from whom we had received the recommendation to approach Nepal Trekking Experts, this raised many nice associations and closed the loop between the two groups. All in all, passing the Manaslu Upper Route Circuit Trek was a lifetime experience, and I am very happy to have experienced it with the help of Rajesh, Basanta, and Santosh. Kudos! Nepal Trekking Experts deserve a full recommendation from our whole group for anyone interested in trekking in Nepal. Age, on behalf of Estonian trekkers

Nepal Trekking Experts ..... spectacular experience - We chose Nepal Trekking Experts based on my son's experience the previous year. It was an exceptional trip. All of our questions were dealt with extremely quickly and we felt very secure in the care of our guide. The guide knew the trail almost to the meter as he assisted us across stream crossings and landslide areas. We had numerous examples of how he would be at exactly the right spot to assist us or direct us among the multitude of paths then step back as we surveyed what must be some of the most incredible trekking on earth. We have backpacked extensively and this is a special place and the Tsum Valley is the most magical place I have ever been! I give 5 stars because I can not give 6.... we are definitely returning again next year. I recommend hiking boots and poles but you do not have to be in exception shape and the average age of our fellow hikers was probably 60....Do it

Best way to explore Manaslu and Tsum Valley - Very nice trip accompanied by the guide Thakur. Everything was well arranged and people clearly made an effort to make us feel at home. Also, everything was very flexible. The overnight stays could still be adjusted on the spot, so we could adjust our program slightly and cross the pass on a clear day. I had also been to Tsum Valley. Very nice area. I had booked the trip alone, but in the end I did have a travel companion who wanted to come (was also my preference). However, getting a room to myself was no problem, which meant you had a lot more space and also some rest at the end of the day to do your own thing. That's a must if you've been on the road with each other all day. There was another traveler from the same organization with the same plan and because of that we still had a kind of combination of an individual trip and a group trip. The fun of a group trip, but at the same time also the flexibility of traveling yourself (to determine where to go and where not to go). A plus of Nepal Trekking's program was that they visited some extra destinations that were very nice that at least some dab the other providers were not in the program. Including (spartan) overnight stay in a monastery, a unique experience.

Excellent trekking experience with Nepal Trekking Experts and Rabin our guide - Our first trek in Nepal, and we could not be happier with our choice of Nepal Trekking Experts. Next to the super impressive Himalayas and specifically the Manasly trek, an important part of the excellent experience is our guide Rabin and Rajesh at the HQ in Kathmandu. We were very happy to have Rabin as our guide. An authentic person and a very experienced and solid guide. Rabin had great stories and insights about the history and politics of Nepal and the region, as well as his great experience with the mountains and the local communities. It added depth and insight into our experience. And Rabin went to his best to get us the best teahouses and hotels and the best rooms along the trek. When we asked for a change of our itinerary near the end of the trek Rabin organized transport to Pokhara seamlessly without effort. Rajesh was on top of everything, hands-on, attention to detail and accommodating. Very friendly and very helpful from the first contact until well after we left the beautiful country and people of Nepal. Thank you very much.

We are a family - We did the Manaslu round with 9 people (internationally) at the end of October. The group was great.The trip was well organized, the guides and the porters looked after us 100%. Both the Manaslu Base Camp, the Tibet Border and of course the pass were completed. We would highly recommend this trip with the organization. Many thanks to the whole team , best regards Babsi and Guido

Nepal Trekking Experts Review - I just returned from a trek on the Manaslu Circuit arranged by Nepal Trekking Experts. I cannot say enough good things about this tour company. Rajesh was our tour organizer. He was quickly responsive to about 1000 email questions that I posed before the trip. His arrangement of transportation and accommodations was flawless. This included transfers to and from Kathmandu airport, jeep trips to and from the trailhead, as well as prepayment for every overnight stay and basic meals at each tea house. He also arranged accommodations in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Each of these accommodations in Kathmandu, Pokhara and tea houses on the trail was carefully chosen and met a high standard. Our guide, Lok, was everything that you would want in a guide: strong, calm, capable and easy to talk to. He managed all the day to day functions including tea house rooming, daily schedule and support for every facet of the trip in addition to guiding a group of 6 trekkers of varying speeds and strengths safely over 110 miles of wild terrain. He was generous in sharing many aspects of Nepali culture. On top of all that, he was funny and interesting. Our porters were incredibly strong and very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend this agency without reservation to anyone thinking about a trek in Nepal. I will certainly use them myself in the future.

Top-notch Service - We had an amazing experience with Nepal Trekking Experts on the Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley. Go with locals who really know the area, you won't be disappointed. Rajesh was helpful pre- and post-booking answering our questions. He provided a detailed gear checklist. Seamless airport pickup and lovely hotel for the first two nights in Kathmandu. Arjun is an incredible guide - the best I've had on any trip. He went out of his way to ensure we were happy, safe, and having a meaningful experience. We had nice rooms at teahouses. Arjun always looked for behind-the-scenes opportunities - observing how momos are made and yak butter is packed, going inside locked monasteries, checking out classrooms, talking to locals, providing spicy toppings, teaching us to play karrom, trying on traditional dress, etc. This enhanced the experience and was not typical - we saw many other groups pass by interesting sites and their guides were not engaging with them. We also saw a group ditch their guide midway because he was drunk - you get what you pay for. So glad I was with NTE and Arjun, in particular. It was also great that our porter, Kumar, was part of the team and interacting with us. We did a climb in Nepal with another company - good but not great - underscoring how exceptional NTE is!

Best trekking company - This was hands down the best company to go with! We had such an incredible and knowledgeable guide, Lok. The porters, Ramesh, Tej and Kosis were so kind, helpful and hard-working. Lok always had everything organized and he looked out for everyone, ensuring we were safe and happy. Our group of 6 truly felt like a family. This company plans everything for you! You do not have to worry about anything but the hiking. It was my first time to Nepal and I felt at ease the second I walked out of the airport and met Lok. I will miss this group, but I plan to use Nepal Trekking Experts in the future. Thank you, Rajesh! Thank you, Lok!

Outstanding experience with Nepal Trekking Experts - I had a truly exceptional trip thanks to Nepal trekking experts. I chose the company based on reviews, the itinerary which included some great side trips and time to acclimatise, and Rajesh's incredible responsiveness and attention to detail. I would definitely use them again for my next trip. Before I arrived Rajesh answered every query patiently, I was met at the airport and Rajesh arranged my accommodation for me. The trek itself was amazing with incredible views, really well thought out pace, days and itinerary, and our outstanding guide Lok. Lok is one of the most experienced guides and knows just how to get everyone through the trek, is incredibly calm and fun. One of the highlights was the side trek to Manaslu base camp which afforded incredible views of Manaslu up close. Nepal Trekking Experts made sure we had reservations at all the good teahouses in each area, accommodation was as comfortable as possible with good food throughout. The porters were excellent and the whole team was incredibly friendly. The equipment borrowed from the company (sleeping bag) was also excellent quality. We saw many other trekking groups run into issues or difficulties on the trail (including helicopter rescues) but with Nepal Trekking Experts we were in very safe hands. I cannot recommend enough.
