We did the Manaslu trail with NTE. Obviously the trekking was fantastic but NTE made it a very smooth experience. Rajesh was very attentive and experienced at arranging everything. He always replied quickly on Whatsapp when we had questions, helped us to find good equiptent in Kathmandu and arranged a nice meal before going. We got free airport pickup/dropoff. Even when I was ill, he checked in on me to see if I was doing well before setting off to Manaslu.
Goutam was our guide and he led us well He gave us the choice of which tea houses to stay, was knowledgeable about the surroundings, was a good climber and was open for more spontaneous plans on going to the Tibetan border.
I would definitely go with NTE again!

I did the Manaslu Circuit hike with Nepal Trekking Experts and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the very beginning, Rajesh was incredibly responsive and helpful—always replying to emails promptly and with great care. Everything was so well organized.

Our guide, Arjun, and porter, Padam, made the trip unforgettable. Arjun is extremely experienced, always cheerful, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. Padam was equally amazing—strong, kind, and always with a smile. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more.

Highly recommend Nepal Trekking Experts if you're looking for a smooth, professional, and deeply rewarding trekking experience in Nepal!

What can we say - it was incredible. Nepal is such an amazing country and that includes both its landscape and its people. Our trekking tour around Manaslu was a truly exhilarating experience that we will never forget. That the trip was so wonderful was also due to the great team of ‘Nepal trekking experts’ starting with Rajesh who planned everything perfectly and was always responsive and reliable. Another stroke of luck was our guide Thakur and our porter Arjun who really did everything to make our trip unforgettable. We never had the feeling of being ‘customers’ but felt welcomed like friends. And that is also our summary: we came as guests and left as friends. Highly recommended. It doesn't get any better than this!

Second trek with Nepal Trekking Experts. Rajesh was, once again, superb with communication and organisation. The adaptations to the standard trek he suggested worked very well and gave us the buffer days we needed to get the best weather for crossing the pass. The adjusted first few days also kept us away from any crowds and the itinerary gave us great acclimatisation time with no side effect whatsoever.
Binod, our guide, was great and seemed to know all of the villagers and tea house owners on the trek (he has been on the route over 100 times apparently). He managed to get us great rooms and quiet tea houses and changed around days and stopovers for us to get the best from the trek when the weather was not the best. He even managed to sort it that there were only the two of us in the room at Daramsala.
We played 3 or 4 games of Dhumbal every night with Binod and Myla, our porter, and they were both great company. Myla was also incredibly strong and smiled all the way round.
If you are looking to book your trek directly with a local company from overseas do not hesitate to use Nepal Trekking Experts.

Our experience actually started way before the actual trek, with Rajesh, the owner of the company, being available for all sorts of questions and helping us carefully select the trek most suitable for us. Nepal Trekking Experts was recommended to us by my friend’s son who did the same trek last year, and for good reason. From start to finish, we were more than well taken care of!

Starting with a warm and traditional welcome at the airport, and finishing with a personal farewell and a souvenir. In between there were our guide Thakur and porter Santosh, who were truly amazing throughout the trek. They took care of all the meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner. They provided us with tips and tricks, pointed out flowers, named rivers and mountains, taught us some Nepali, got us into understanding the local culture, explained how to use the prayer rolls and gave us advise on what to wear, depending on the weather and the terrain expected.

We are super proud of ourselves that we made it across Larke Pass. The weather predictions were such that it wasn’t sure whether we’d be able to go up at all and guide Thakur had a serious job judging all conditions including fresh snow. We skipped an acclimatisation day to make full use of a good-weather window, and after a 4.5 hour climb, which we had started at 4am, we were at the pass. It was windy, very windy. But we had seen the sun come up, been surrounded by mighty mountains, experienced the feeling of jelly legs, and motivated ourselves when the going got tough to a point where it was a matter of counting ‘and one, and two, and three, etc.’ for every half step. Determination got us there!

As well as the recommendation of our guide to not drink any alcohol, coffee or tea during the days before the pass, nor eat any meat or fried food. Just so that we would stay as healthy as could be. And it worked! What’s more, we felt ourselves getting stronger by the day and I hadn’t felt that clear in the head in a long time. Brainfog gone!

As to the difficulty of the trek, for both my friend and me, it was the hardest we’d ever done. And during the trek we discussed whether or not we’d do it again. We came to a ‘no’. Initially. But once we had made it down safely, and back to Kathmandu in one piece (the traffic!!!), we couldn’t stop phantasising about what our next trip would be. So yes, we’d do it again! Or something similar. With even more physical preparation.

Thank you so much for an amazing experience, Rajesh, Thakur and Santosh the strongest.

PS: Oh, forgot to mention Santosh came running back down after he had been all the way up with our big rucksacks, so that he could take our daypacks and make the last couple of 100 metres to the top a whole lot lighter for us. The best!

I recently completed an unforgettable trek through Upper Mustang with Nepal Trekking Experts, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

I chose this company based on a recommendation from a friend who had trekked with them twice in the past and was coming with me on the trek now—and now I completely understand why. From the very beginning, Rajesh was outstanding. His communication was prompt, clear, and incredibly helpful—he was my main point of contact before, during, and even after the trek. Whether I had questions about permits, gear, or itinerary tweaks, he handled everything with ease and professionalism. It really gave me peace of mind knowing that everything was taken care of.

They also helped me sort out equipment before the trek, assisting with what to buy or rent locally, and even lent me trekking poles—which ended up being a lifesaver!

Our guide, Thakkur, was equally fantastic. His experience, knowledge of the region, and calm, friendly manner made the entire journey even more special. He shared so much about the local culture and history, and his support on the trail was invaluable. We always felt safe and well looked after.

The Upper Mustang region itself is spectacular—like stepping into a different world. The landscapes, the ancient villages, and the unique Tibetan-influenced culture make it one of the most special places I've ever visited.

If you're thinking of trekking in Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Trekking Experts. Their organization, personal touch, and expertise truly made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Very professionally run company, with a boss (Rajesh) who more than kept everything he promised. You don’t get empty promises, but feel that you are working with passion here! We had a great time on our trek to Everest Base Camp and our guide Harichandra was always there for us and always able to clarify everything to our complete satisfaction. Hari became our friend during the trek from our guide! Should we go to Nepal again, then we would always trust Nepal Trekking Experts again.

Myself and 3 friends booked a trip with Nepal Trekking Experts in April 25. The company had been recommended to us by friends of ours who had done the same trip the year prior. We did the Manaslu 17-day itinerary trip. It was a truly amazing trip in all senses, particularly thanks to the company and our guide, Basanta Devkota. Everything was extremely well organised from the moment we arrived at the airport to the moment we left - we did not have to worry about anything other than our packing list. I highly recommend the Manaslu trek - it was relatively un-touristy, almost all days were along single tracks with interspersed villages, and there was a good mix of some tough day hikes at higher altitudes (base camp/tibet border) which were optional but which we really enjoyed. Our guide Basanta went out of his way to make our overnight stays and lunch breaks much more enjoyable and comfortable, particularly ensuring that we were well fed at all times! A big highlight was spending most of our free time playing ultra-competitive Nepalese card games with him and other guides. I will definitely recommend this company, the Manaslu trek and Basanta to anyone looking to do a trek in Nepal.
