Client Reviews

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.

Incredible Manaslu Trek with Nepal Trekking Experts [Binod & Rajesh]

We had an unforgettable experience on the Manaslu Trek, thanks to Nepal Trekking Experts. From the very start, everything was smoothly organized. Our guide, Binod, was fantastic—he was super experienced, supportive, and always made sure we were comfortable throughout the trek. Rajesh, the tour coordinator, was also great, helping us with everything in Kathmandu before, during, and after the trip.

What stood out to us about Nepal Trekking Experts is that it’s a smaller, local agency. The owner and many of the guides are from the Manaslu region, which makes a big difference. They’re passionate about the area, and it’s clear they want to make your trip as amazing as possible. We started our trek in early February, when it was still winter. Many of the teahouses along the route were closed, but thanks to their strong local connections, they made sure we had everything we needed.

Unfortunately, heavy snow made it impossible for us to cross the pass, but the team made the right call, prioritizing safety over everything else. We really appreciated how carefully they considered all options and how experienced Binod was at making these kinds of decisions.

We decided not to hire a porter and carried our own bags (about 10kg each), which turned out to be just fine. After a couple of days, our bodies adjusted to the weight, and the trek became more manageable. The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole experience felt so special, especially given how remote and quiet the route was.

The hotel they arranged for us in Kathmandu was also great—comfortable and located in the lively Thamel district, which was perfect for relaxing and exploring before and after the trek.

Overall, we have amazing memories of the whole trip, and we can’t thank Nepal Trekking Experts enough for their professionalism and personal touch. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a trek in Nepal!

In terms of organisation and planning. the Nepal trekking experts were flawless. Everything under their control ran extremely smoothly, all we had to worry about was the trekking, everything else taken care of completely.

Basanta, our guide, was the epitome of professionalism. He became a good friend during the trip all the while imparting great knowledge and taking care of all our needs. Everyday he executed without mistake and truly led us to get the most out of the trip. I can’t express enough how much of a difference he made to the overall experience.

We had an incredible trip in Nepal doing the Manaslu Circuit with Nepal Trekking Experts. We had heard about the company via a friend, and when visiting the website it was all very clear and informative. We had all the information we needed to know, and the itinerary and FAQs were comprehensive. Email communication to clarify anything else was responded to in a timely manner.

The day of arrival we met Rajesh who spoke to us about what to expect and answered any questions (ie logistics, gear requirements). He was very professional and friendly. Accommodation at a hotel was provided at the start and end of the trek, and all tea house stays were organised including food. Transport was also provided.

We were assisted by our guide Basanta throughout the trek. He helped us navigate the mountains, gave us many insights on the history and ways of life in Nepal, and managed our stays at each of the tea houses (organising food and drinks, bedrooms, anything that we needed). He is an incredible person and I couldn’t recommend him more highly, communicating very well and helping manage the morale and energy within the team. He made our trip a huge success!

The trek itself was unbelievable, off the beaten path but beautiful and scenic. Each day was slightly different as we got higher and higher, starting along the river into grasslands into forest areas into rocky areas and finally into mountainous areas covered with snow. The tea houses are basic but provide everything you need (with the occasional western toilet and warm shower).

Expect the trek to be tough but manageable, take it slow and enjoy the scenery. I will definitely be back with Nepal Trekking Experts.

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  Circuit  starting from Jagat and continue over the Thorong La pass. Which known as a one of the highest pass in the world. It is not easy but rewarding. After the Thorong La, we decent to Muktinath, The most interesting thing on the town was best example of religious harmony between Hinduism and Buddhism. After the Muktinath, we drove to Tatopani and continue on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek via Ghorepani Poon Hill. Rajesh, the organizer of the company perfectly combined two trek as per our demand. He answer our all the questions very fast. 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...

It was our second trek with Nepal Trekking Experts. Based on our previous experience of doing the Annapurna base camp in 2022, it turned out to be another wonderful experience with their team. Rajesh managed the email and WhatsApp communication promptly. He took care of everything the way we prefer.
 

Again, we had the same guide of previous trek, Dinesh, and Chhoung was our porter. Both of them are very professional and jovial people. Dinesh was a fantastic leader, with perfect English, well-known about the route. Chhoung was super strong, supportive, had a nice sense of humor, and always prepared delicious, fresh fruit desserts in the evening. The Gosaikunda trek route was beautiful, with rhododendron forests and views of great mountains. The climb to Gosaikunda was challenging but worth the effort. The lakes were so impressive. The only thing we had to do was enjoy the trek. If you are visiting for the first time, you might have confusion to choose the right agency. After taking second treks with them, I would say they are the best and most trustworthy local companies in Nepal. You should not waste your time looking here and there. Just go with NTE. Overall, we had another excellent Gosaikunda trek and would like to do more treks with them.
