CLIENTS REVIEW

What our customers say about us

Amazing views, Amazing Guide

We went on the Chisapani- Nagarkot hike. Was misty in June but we were blessed on the second day in Nagarkot when “the grey rain-curtain of this world rolled back, and all turned to silver glass, and then we saw it.” A panoramic view of the Himalayas. Suman went above and beyond for us on our trip and felt like we were hiking with an old friend. We’ll be back.

Long Weekend in Nepal

We had a fantastic long weekend in Nepal with Nepal Mountain Trekkers. Ramesh and his team were amazing throughout and catered for our every need. We got a really personal tour even though we had a large group. We were provided with a variety of activities, with trekking, visiting temples and cultural sites and of course the Mount Everest Flight experience. I’d highly recommend Nepal Mountain Trekkers and look forward to returning possibly in the future!
