5 weeks around Gurkha Region, Manaslu and ABC - I did the Manaslu Trek for 20 days in May 2024, and after a week of rest in Pokhara, the Annapurna Base Camp . For both treks I used the company Nepal Trekking Experts, which showed to be a smart choice from my side. Through Rajesh, the company manager who was always available both by Whatsup and also in person in Kathmandu, I could organize my treks with full flexibility, adapting it to my preferences and skills, not only before leaving but also during the treks themselves, according to the weather, the circumstances and my state of energy. I was particularly lucky with my guide Resham, who, in comparison with other guides I met during the treks, did a 24 hours job, was extremely resourceful and went always the extra mile in order to improve the trip experience. Thanks to him I discovered places that were not in the guidebook, I slept in homestays of Gurkha people, sharing their food, and taking me to villages where I could appreciate the life of the Nepali people. Furthermore, while hiking the standard trek, he proposed and anticipated often my preferences on the basis of his knowledge of the region and his observation, after a few days, of my strong and weak points. For example, in the Manaslu trek, after a few days he realized that i was faster than average going up, but that going down I was slower due to my knees, and he adapted the trek so that we would reach the Larkya Pass one day before what was initially calculated, so that I would have an extra day going down. All in all I was very satisfied with Resham and with Nepal Trekking Experts, and I hope to be back next year in Nepal with them.

Experiencing the Himalayas to the fullest - The trek was amazing. It was very well organized and the tour guide, Lok, was very knowledgeable and was able to adjust to our group. Everything went very smoothly and we were very well taken care of from the moment we landed until we left Nepal. Strongly recommended!

Manasalu Tsum hike with Nepal trekking experts. - Manasalu plus Tsum valley 21 day hike with guide Thakur Naupane, and porter Santosh. Picking Nepal trekking experts as the company was best decision. With over 1000 companies operating in Nepal, picking Nepal Trekkng experts as random one with decent Trip advisor rating and due to Rakesh Naupane’s persistent and very courteous/ detailed responses to my million questions was well justified. They are not most expensive or cheapest of the tourism companies. They are thorough and their guides and prayers are all very well trained Rajesh matched us with Thakur and Santosh whom we fondly called Thakur ji and Santosh ji ( though we were the oldies). Both of them were very knowledgeable of the area, both are genuinely caring and added benefit, both spoke Hindi along with English and Nepali. Thakur ji was forced to walk super slow due to my uphill battle but never pushed me too much. They informed us ina fb what the day would be like, adjusted itinerary to our request. We added days I. Chiming and chakampaar village. Santosh was always ahead even with our 23kg bag, which is more than recommended weight for porter. They learnt our taste very fast and catered to it. They also explained with reason do’s and dont’s when it came to food. We did not have any stomach issue through out. They took care of leg swelling for Tanveer getting local medicine from health center and Sanchi oil for my cold. Towards the last days of Manasalu hike, we felt severe mountain sickness with headache and dizziness etc, they wisely recommended to descent when return path was going to be much longer. Sending we may need more help, we had to take chopper and between the 3 of them, they arranged for chopper rescue same day and we were back in Kathmandu at blink of an eye . Even though we did not finish the hike of 21 days and cut is short by 4 days, our experience was such that I will be returning to the mountains soon. And I will most definitely be going with Nepal trekking experts again. Oh also, they were known in Al OST every village, specially Thakur N who has been on this trek more than 100 times and it helps to have some one so well acquainted in such remote regions. He knew exactly which tea house to go to for best food and decent accommodation. Most guides and porters on these trails would be good but this pair of Santosh and Thakur were above and beyond our expectations and definitely were second most imp reason for a very enjoyable trip. first place of course goes to the Himalayas. Beauty unparalleled in every which way, manasalu trek is so far most pristine hike I ever done. Nepal has done a very good job keep Manasalu as conservation area and not brought too much tourism attention here. It is one of the places that holds beauty as it was meant to be with no human intervention though slowly they are building roads and soon it may be like Everest base camp or annapoorna. So if one has to pick one and only one hike, for non mountaineers, Manasalu is the one.

Best Trekking Company in Nepal!!! - My son and I did the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Nepal Trekking Experts between 19 April and 5 May 2024. It was a trip for my son's 30th birthday so it was important to us that it was special. Rajesh and his team definitely exceeded our expectation and I highly recommend this Trekking company!!! From the very first email of enquiry Rajesh was helpful, friendly and efficient. We contacted a few trekking companies but after our video chats with them we knew that Rajesh was the person we wanted to deal with. He is an excellent communicator, answering all our questions and helping us to make sure we were getting the experience we wanted and that we were well prepared for our trek. Once we got to Nepal we discovered that his whole team were just as fabulous as him! From the wonderful welcome at our airport pick up with Rabin, to the moment we were delivered back to the airport at the end of our trip, we were thrilled with every aspect of Nepal Trekking Experts service. The Manaslu Circuit is a beautiful trek that just keeps delivering breathtaking views day after day. Our guide, Sandesh, was friendly and helpful and our sherper, Ramesh, was an absolute champion! Even though Ramesh does not speak any english, he still managed to 'connect' with us and was friendly and fun. After a few days on our trek, Sandesh hurt his foot and could not continue but, Rajesh sorted out a new guide and made sure that we were happy immediately. Santosh arrived to rescue us and we lost no time at all! He was a wonderful guide, making sure that we had the best experience possible. We loved trekking with him and he was always ready for anything we requested! He had an awesome sense of humour and had just the right balance of being an excellent guide while still giving us space to be quiet and peaceful in the mountains on our own. I would highly recommend requesting him as your guide! My son and I are forever grateful to Rajesh, Santosh, Ramesh and the Nepal Trekking Experts team for making this special journey so incredibly awesome and memorable for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you guys..... we hope to see you again soon! Julie and Cass, Cape Town, South Africa

Manaslu Circuit Trek - We had a wonderful time hiking the Manaslu Circuit Trek organized by Nepal Trekking experts. Everything went very smooth, from the welcoming at the airport to the departure. Our guide Arjun was the best guide we could hope for. He made our trekking unforgettable: taking care of us, helping us whenever we needed it, introducing us to local culture and people, having nice conversations about all different topics. We are so grateful we had the chance to become friends with Arjun. We would definitely recommend Nepal Trekking experts. Thank you Rajesh, Rabin and Arjun for guiding us trough Nepal, making it a wonderful experience. We are sure we will come back and ask for your guidance again! All the best, Helen and Julien (Belgium)

Snow Leopards - I have used Rajesh and his brother a few times and this time they have surpassed themselves. I was given a porter/guide called Dilli. I have never been with anone who could see more wildlife. I used to work in Kenya on safaris and wish I had him with me. He found a Snow Leopard and cub trying to catch Marmots. It was like watching a hysterical show. The cub was thrilled to have these Marmots to play with. Suffice to say mum was not best pleased. Tsum Valley was the highlight for me. I have asked for Dilli for my next trip if possible. We were together 18 days and I missed him at departure. Rajesh and his brother were available 24/7 in case of issues, we never needed them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you all!

Manaslu Circul trek with an amazing guide - We chose Nepal Trekking Experts based on great reviews that were shared on Internet, and after the Manaslu Circut trek organised by them this May, I wholeheartedly can confirm all of these positive reviews are true! Especially our guide, Lok, was absolutely fantastic! On one hand, very professional and knowledgeable. Step by step answered thousands questions that we had during the trek, not only about the mountains, but also Nepalis, their culture, history & traditions. Lok set the right pace for our group. On the other hand, he was relational, we laughed a lot, even played Nepalese card game in the evenings. But when we wanted to hike in silence for a longer time and contemplate nature&life in silence, he gave us space for it. With him on the trail, we felt a lot of comfort that we will manage to reach Larke Pass and go down safetly and in time (even though we decided not to use porters). If I ever come back to Nepal, I definetely would like to use Rajesh as an organiser, and Lok as a guide.

Manaslu April - Great Trek - I did the Manaslu Circuit walk in late April. Rajesh was very responsive in organising everything. My guide Arjun was very good. I had a private tour, and was after a quiet/peaceful experience. Arjun found nice quiet teahouses for me, away from the crowds. The walk itself was challenging but awesome. The higher you go the closer you get to the big mountains. Just make sure you do some training to prepare yourself physically before you go. Weather was great. I never walked in the rain once. It rained in the night a few times, but was always very clear in the mornings. 5 stars.. It's a great trek.

Manaslu Circuit - The best experience of my life. The company does everything perfectly. Couldn’t recommend them more. An absolute must.

Great organisation, superb guide - The team at Nepal Trekking Experts were fantastic from start to finish. Before departure, it was clear what I would need to bring; and then, from the moment of being met at the airport (at 1:30am, 80 minutes later than expected), Rajesh smoothly organised permits, a very experienced guide (Kedar) and a most capable porter. Kedar's flexibility with our schedule based on weather and capability was masterful. I look forward to recommending NTE to my friends with confidence.
