Client Reviews

Together with my fiancee we spent over two weeks with Rabin and Rajesh (Rabin was our trekking guide). It was not only a Manaslu Circuit trek. It was really a great experience of Nepal's culture, people and places. Extraordinary hospitality, assistance, knowlegde, professionalism and helpfullness make these guys worth to trust in any regard. My message is: when we are back to Nepal, we are coming back to NTE. Thank you guys! It was perfect time with you. Namaste. Good luck.!

On our 20-days-Trek in the Nepal Himalayas, we spent 14 days on the Manaslu Trek - and directly afterwards 7 days on the Nar-Phu-Trek. Although August (2016) and therefore middle/end of rainy season, we had a breath-taking trip not only because of the marvellous landscape but also because of the unforgettable insight into the Nepalese and Tibetan culture and daily life of the locals. Through good friends we got a recommendation for a trekking company and especially for a specific guide, which we were very thankful for, for it can be very confusing on the streets of Thamel to find a trekking company that will truly do their best to provide you with a tour fitting your expectations. We were highly pleased with Raj, our trekking guide, who after 20 days had become a companion and friend as well. Having grown up in the Manaslu region, he knew everything about the trek, the landscape, villages and customs there. Due to his translations, it was possible to speak to locals and experience their joys and worries, thus enabling us to connect with our environment on a unique and much deeper level. His excellent English puts him also in a completely different league than the average Nepalese trekking guide. It was no problem to modify the original route depending on our wishes and he as well always provided us with the best accommodations available (one of the good things in rainy season... you’re mostly alone on the trek (we just met 2 other groups in 20 days)). We definitely had a highly valuable and precious time with him and appreciated a lot his efforts, enthusiasm and never-ending energy as well as his great personality. After the trip we even got to know his fabulous family and enjoyed his generous hospitality in Kathmandu. All in all, it was great fun, with countless views on the most impressive mountain ranges of the world, many hours of pure joy and a wonderful time with an exceptional trekking guide, with whom we are looking forward to plan our next trip in Nepal. If you are looking for a highly competent and reliable trekking guide, he is your man. You should be able to reach him via e-mail (It should be one of those 2): [email protected] [email protected] or phone (if you managed to get a nepali simcard) ;-) +977 9841917136

Organice el trek por Nepal totalmente por mi cuenta, buscando y preguntando en varias agencias a través de Internet. Finalmente, por cuestión de precios y recomendaciones de otros viajeros con los que coincidí en Groenlandia, me decidí por Rajesh... Y acerté. Planifique junto con Raj los sitios que quería ver de acuerdo a los días disponibles, aproximadamente el "Everest 3 passes trekking", pero aun así cuando quise adaptar algo sobre la marcha lo hicimos sin problemas. Hice el trek con Rabin, el hermano de Raj, y un porteador. Ambos buena gente. Todo fue rodado: los tea house donde dormíamos y cenábamos eran estupendos, cualquier problema se solucionaba de inmediato aunque realmente nada se pudo considerar un problema, había comunicación diaria entre Rabin y Raj, habilitaron las etapas para conseguir la mejor aclimatación posible... Técnicamente un trek perfecto, inolvidable. Pero ademas de las excelentes sensaciones del trek me quede con el trato con Rajesh. Llegar a su oficina y disfrutar de un café, de un par de cervezas o de algo de comida nepalí, picante como ella sola, mientras echas unas risas y charlas sobre el viaje, antes y después de hacerlo, es impagable. Como digo en el titulo de mi comentario: volveré a Nepal para subir el Mera Peak y lo haré con Raj.

In the process of selecting a trekking company for our trip, and being in contact with other companies, it was soon clear that Raj was going to be our guy. He responded immediately to our request, spoke perfect English and offered an unmatched price. But more importantly, Raj understood what we wanted and went above and beyond our expectations. He gave us a feeling of having a home base in Nepal, which is not overrated in busy Kathmandu. We were always welcome for a tea at the office and he gave us a lot of help in navigating Nepal. We were initially planning on only doing the Manaslu Circuit, but after hearing from friends, who also trekked with Raj, about Nar Phu valley, Raj happily arranged for an extension of our trip to include Nar Phu on short notice (including permits, accommodations, guides, etc). We trekked with Rabin (Raj's brother) as our guide and two porters, Suba and Sudip. They made for a great team with lots of experience, also with each other as teammates. This made for a very comfortable atmosphere during the whole trip. Rabin has many years of experience as a guide and was in contact with Raj regarding our progress and satisfaction. Rabin could always answer our questions regarding the local culture and landscape and found the best lodges to eat in and spend the night. He tailored the trip to our wishes along the way regarding side treks and rest days. Everything felt very natural and relaxed and communication was easy. Sudip and Suba were also very cool and added a lot of humor to the experience. Even on hard days, we all held together and pushed on. I don't think I could have enjoyed the experience of being in the Himalaya without having the right team. The Manaslu Circuit is a defined trail along which every trekker hikes. We met other trekkers along the way, who were not enjoying the trek as much as us. It was not because they were disappointed by the landscape or culture, it was because they did not feel understood and did not have a team feeling. Raj and Rabin understood our wishes clearly, did everything they could to realized them and did it all with a smile. I highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to experience Nepal.

My husband & my sister who lives in France used Raj's expertise to plan an amazing trip in the Annapurna region. We did a first trek to Annapurna Base Camp and then we went up to Muktinath-Jomsom on the Annapurna Circuit. Our guide Sudarson & our porters were exceptional: they know the tea houses with the best food and best views. Thank you for taking good care of us. Hoping to go back to Nepal sometime soon...

Raj did a great job of taking us through the trek. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and just a great guide. When one of our group members got severe pain, he handled the situation very well, outlining the conditions for flying her back to Kathmandu. He did a good job of calling the agency, and arranging the helicopter. I always feel first aid on site can always be improved in the treks I've been on in the region, so just make sure that the guide service is well equipped. Overall, we were are very happy with Raj, and wish him the best of luck in his new business endevours.

Raj and his team of guides are the best in the business. Not only was he accessible all the time from first contact to the drop off at the airport, but he took care of all details flawlessly. We got to trek with his brother Rabin who was an awesome guide. I plan on going back many times in my life and will never use another company. Keep up the great work guys and I hope to see you soon!

*English version below Я воспользовалась услугами этой фирмы для моего очередного индивидуального трека в Базовый Лагерь Канченджанга в 2015 году. Сложный, неисследованный трек, вдобавок, пришлось проходить в условиях мощного землетрясения и дождливой погоды. Несмотря на сложности, организаторы отлично контролировали ситуацию и выполнили все свои обязательства. Менеджер Раджешь Ньюпане гибко реагировал на мои пожелания во время трекинга: смог организовать два дополнтельных радиальных трека (к Змеиному озеру и к Патибара Деви темплу) , не входящих в программу. Сопровождавшие меня гид Бикрам Карки и портер Санджай Лама, оба владеющие английским языком и обладающие большим треккинговым опытом, оказались очень надежными партнерами в пути, взаимозаменяемыми - каждый при необходимости и в одиночку мог справиться с обязанностями гида и портера. Я могу порекомендовать "Nepal Trekking Experts" и намерена пользоваться их услугами в будущем. *** I used the services of this company in 2015 for one of my individual trekkings - BC Kanchenjunga. It was an unusual, complex and unexplored trek, moreover it combined with heavy raining and earthquake conditions. Despite all of these, the organizers controlled the situation and managed their responsibilities well. Manager Rajesh Neupane was flexible with my requests and organized two additional radial treks (to the Snakes lake and Pathibhara Devi Temple) which were not included into the main programme. I was accompanied by guide Bikram Karki and porter Sanjay Lama, who were speaking English and had a big trekking experience, also they turned out to be reliable and interchargeble partners during our travel - both were able to be a guide and a porter in case of need. I can recommend "Nepal Trekking Experts" and will definitely choose this company for my next journey.
