Amazing trip

Did a excursion at the Annapurna area with a friend.The agency was really great, helpful and i didnt have to worry about anything..they arranged all. Highly recommended!!! Ramesh was great..thank u for the experience!!

Langtang Valley Trek – So good!

I went on a trek with my parents, who are over 60, to the Langtang Valley. We were taken with our guide and hotel owner and now friend, Ramesh, who was amazing in organising it and catering it to our needs. It was a stunning time, and the friends we made were an absolute highlight – including our two porters, Amar and Pralad, who were just the best guys to be spending this time with. I highly recommend going on a trek with these guys, it’s so well organised, and Ramesh can cater for whatever your needs are – in our case, the distance we were travelling each day was a bit too much for my parents, and our days were shortened accordingly, and Ramesh was happy to do so. He certainly made me feel like one of the boys, enjoying some chang rice beer with local families once we’d reached the highest point of the trek, which I might add is so worth the trek. It is a stunning place, nestled in between the snowy mountains, with options to do some day walks from there to some of the peaks – which I highly recommend! There was a lot of laughs along the way – it was actually turned into just a hilarious and fulfilling time because of our guide and porters, and I wouldn’t hesitate to go with them again!

Nepal Mountain Trekkers is the perfekt agency

I did a trip to Kathmandu and some trekking to the Annapunda area. Even that I traveld allone, because a friend of mine got ill was no problem. I felt really save and good informed. Our guid Suman and our Potter Pralad made a perfect job. They fulfilled all my wishes and made a dream come true. It was an amazing trip and I would go by them anytime again!
Thank you!

Nepal Mountain Trekkers eine Tolle erfahrung

Ich war mit den Nepal Mountain Trekkers Anfang April 2018 im Annapurna gebiet unterwegs.
Unser Guide Suman Gurung und Träger Pralad Simkhada waren sehr nett und zu vorkommend, haben alles möglich gemacht und sich hervorragen um uns gekümmert, so dass wir einen sorgenfreien Urlaub genießen konnten.
Selbst als ich durch eine Magenverstimmung aussetzen musste, wurde alles in die Wege geleitet das es mir wieder besser geht und ich den Treck beenden konnte.
Großes Lob an die beiden.
Wenn ich das nächste mal nach Nepal komme werde ich wieder mit Nepal Mountain Trekkers meine Reise / Treck planen.
Die Guides kennen sich Hervorragend in der Gegend aus und haben viele persönliche Kontakte Stätten und Dörfern was sehr hilfreich sein kann.

Von mir gibt es da einen fetten Daumen nach oben!

Everest base camp solo trek

EBC was an absolutely wonderful adventure. The views of the highest mountains are simply wonderful. Ramesh (owner of Nepal Mountain Trekkers) arranged a guide for me who was very careful, helpful and nice person. During the trek, Ramesh also called me several times and asked about the trek and any difficulties if I faced or not. I must say that Ramesh is a very careful, responsible and trustworthy person. This was my first visit in Nepal and I met Ramesh hardly for 2 days. He is now a very good friend of mine. I look forward to the next Nepal trek with the Nepal Mountain Trekkers!

Fascinating 9 day trek – Langtang Valley region north of Kathmandu, near Tibetan border

Just completed this somewhat challenging trek as a first-time trekker at age 61! Wanted to explore the Langtang region with my husband and adult son – supported by Ramesh, the owner of the trekking company and 2 porters who became our very good friends, managed it without too many hiccups.
It does not reach areas as high as some of the better known treks but as parts of this region were decimated by the 2015 earthquake, the pathways have been rebuilt with many stone steps which are also thoroughfares for ponies and donkeys carrying building and food supplies to the higher regions so the steps get knocked around a bit making for some challenging walking. A fascinating area with culture heavily influenced by the Tibetan immigrants over several centuries.
The care and concern shown by Ramesh and his team are phenomenal, starting with the planning which begins weeks before with applications for trekking permits etc taken care of. He equips us with all the gear we might possibly need. Being February it has the potential to snow (and does).
In a 4WD vehicle to our kick-off point, Ramesh ensures we by-pass traffic jams and the town accommodation is great. Once trekking commences he patiently guides us at our own pace, and ensures the nighttime accommodation in tea-houses is comfortable and meals are good. He closely monitors the health of his charges – when I get a bad headache at the highest altitude, I don’t realise till afterwards how closely he is observing me for signs of altitude sickness; were I to show any symptoms he would insist we went back down to a lower tea-house.
Ramesh and the porters are fun to be with – we have lots of laughs and lots of interesting discussions about local history and culture and they are interested to hear about Australia.
The trek is geared around our capabilities – it is flexible – can be lengthened or shortened to suit.
Ramesh has many other trekking routes – all over Nepal – varying from a few days to months. I fancy the month-long ‘Rhododendron Kingdom’ trek next – a mixture of teahouses and camping – camping is the real way to do trekking he tells me!

Perfekte Agentur für perfektes Trekking

Nachdem ich mit dem Trekking Agentur „Nepal Mountain Trekkers“ bereits die Touren Langtang – Helambu sowie Annapurna Basecamp (Bewertung s. 2016) gemacht habe, war im Spätherbst 2017 der Annapurna Circuit dran, den ich mit zwei Freunden aus Amerika gegangen bin. Natürlich habe ich auch diesen Trek von Ramesh Dhakal, dem Inhaber der Agentur , vorbereiten lassen und gleich auch meinen vertrauten Guide Krishna für diese Zeit reserviert.
Warum eine so relativ einfache Trekkingtour über ein Agentur buchen, wird sich so mancher fragen. Aus meiner Sicht ist es absolut vorteilhaft jedes Trekkingunternehmen in Nepal über eine Agentur zu organisieren und die „ Nepal Mountain Trekkers“ kann ich nur wärmstens empfehen. Man wird in jeglicher Hinsicht fachkundig und als Freund betreut, sämtliche organisatorischen Dinge werden im Vorfeld zuverlässig erledigt und dadurch spart man sich viel Zeit für persönliche Interessen. Des weiteren ist ein Guide wie Krishna unterwegs eine unschätzbare Hilfe. Er konnte uns sehr viel Interessantes über die verschiedenen Gegenden auf der Strecke, über die Menschen und über die Natur erzählen das man sonst einfach nicht mitbekommt oder erfährt. Er kennt auch Wegstrecken die nicht allgemein bekannt sind und sollte es Probleme geben, so hilft er mit Rat und Tat. Einer meiner Freunde hatte zum Beispiel im Thorong Base Camp ein gesundheitliches Problem, das wir aber dank seiner Hilfe in den Griff bekommen haben.
Ganz herzlichen Dank nochmals an Ramesh und vor allem an Krishna. Mit seiner ruhigen und umsichtigen Art hat er uns ein unvergessliches Trekkingerlebnis in einer wunderschönen Landschaft ermöglicht.

Trekking

Am Flughafen sofort freundlich abgeholt und alles von vorne bis zur Abreise super geplant. Die Menschen sehr freundlich und vorkommen. Unserer Geit super Mensch und sehr gut alles in Englisch erklärt der Gepäckträger wie ein Top sportler. Wir werde in paar Jahren wieder kommen.

Manaslu Trek. Eine Herausforderung, die mit Daljit Gurung zu einer schönen Erfahrung geworden ist.

In Kathmandu angekommen wird man gleich von einem Mitarbeiter der Nepal Mountain Trekkers empfangen und ins Hotel gebracht. Ich ruhe mich aus und der Staff legt gleich mal los, alle Papiere fürs Trekking vorzubereiten. Zeit ist kostbar. Da ich Kathmandu schon ganz gut kenne, habe ich es vorgezogen am Sightseeing Tag erst mal Freunde zu besuchen. Und am nächsten Tag ging es in aller Frühe los nach Baseri. Schon auf Weg wurden mir alle Fragen beantwortet. Erst mal landen und am nächsten Tag gehts weiter. Daljit ist ein wahrer Gentleman. Mein Rucksack war schwerer als seiner, also haben wir einfach mal getauscht. Juhu, ich konnte mich der Aussicht und dem Weg widmen und musste mich nicht mehr um schweres Gepäck sorgen. Teilweise sah es schon etwas wackelig aus, aber dafür hatte ich ja Daljit, der mir gezeigt hat, wie ich mich vorwärts bewegen muss. So bin ich ganz gut durch gekommen. Wine Wahre Augenweide sind die Rhododendron Wälder und natürlich immer wieder der Blick auf den Schnee bedeckten Gipfel. Super fand ich den Besuch der Pungyen Gompa. Und natürlich auch die lieben und herzlichen Menschen auf der Strecke. Ich muss sagen, das ganze Team hat mir einen unvergesslichen Trekk organisiert. Selbst am Ruhetag in Samdo wurde ich nicht einfach alleine gelassen. Mein Guide war immer für mich da. Auch bei dem Ansieg nach Dharamsala, Wo ich trotz des Ruhetages arg an meine Grenzen gekommen bin. Hat Daljit mich nicht aus den Augen gelassen und natürlich seinen Rucksack auch noch getragen. Danke noch mal dafür. Auch bei der Auswahl der Teehäuser und der Rastplätze hat sich das gute Händchen der Agentur bewährt. Einfach ein klasse Team. Ich konnte auf der Rückfahrt im Bus schlafen. Musste mir nie Sorgen um mich und meine Sachen machen. Wieder zurück in Kathmandu wurde ich nach einer ausgiebigen Dusche noch zum Abendessen eingeladen. Wir waren in einem tollen Tamang Restaurant. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team der Nepal Mountain Trekkers.

Excellent Multi-Day Family Trek in Nepal Everest Region

Ramesh, the owner, was our guide 15 years ago when we were last in Nepal, so we were delighted to return when he has his own company – he did not disappoint! He helped us plan an itinerary with our three children (aged 13, 11 and 8 years) that was challenging but never too much. He set us up with a wonderful guide (Dal) and two porters, Hem (also a guide at times – experienced, patient and calm) and Arjun (young and energetic). Sometimes now, back at work in Canada on a stressful day, I try to channel Hem’s calmness. They became our extended family and we were sad to leave them all at the end.

Ramesh is kind, helpful and honest and has extensive guiding experience himself; we highly recommend him and his company. We stayed at Hotel Horizon in Thamel (Kathmandu) which was ideally located and served our purposes well with a nice courtyard for tea and breakfast.

We did the early part of the Everest trek – starting at Shivalaya near Jiri and staying in teahouses. This part is much quieter than the trek onwards from Lukla, and also with the kids we wanted to avoid high altitudes. I love those earlier parts with the green terraced hills and the people (both Nepalis and trekkers) are much friendlier as it’s not as busy. The highest we slept at was Namche Bazaar (day trips from there) although the kids were totally fine on all the passes so we likely could have gone higher. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. Just a warning though, the long drive in is not for the faint of heart (or stomach!) though, so I’d recommend using Gravol (or similar) if you get motion sickness. After trekking we flew back out of Lukla which of course is also not for the faint of heart! Make sure you allow extra time at the end as people often get stuck in Lukla for a few days due to weather.

This was our third trip to Nepal so we knew what to expect although it’s certainly gotten busier and the omnipresence of cell phones was a surprise. Our first trip many years ago we did without a guide, and although we were fine, we realized the experience is so much better with a guide so we would never do without again. We also know people that recently did the Manaslu trek and loved that, so that will likely be our next trip, which unfortunately will likely be a few years out.

Thanks so much to Ramesh for organizing our trip, to his team for taking such wonderful care of us and giving us amazing memories! Nepal is such a wonderful country and we were thrilled to be able to finally share it with our whole family. We look forward to coming back again as soon as we can! Although we have visited many countries, Nepal holds a very special place in our hearts.
