    We traveled the Manaslu Circuit and the Tsum Valley with Nepal Mountain Trekkers – an unforgettable experience! The planning beforehand was excellent, and the entire service during the tour was professional, friendly, and perfectly organized. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and led us safely and with great knowledge through the impressive landscape. We felt well looked after at all times. We definitely recommend them – we would book with Nepal Mountain Trekkers again anytime!

  • Friendly company to deal with and very attentive to details.

    Suman has lots of experience and can organise trips anywhere in Nepal for beginners right through to high altitude treks. Chirring (the guide on my trek in Manaslu) was fantastic..very supportive and patient with me - it was a pleasure trekking with him. I definitely recommend using this company. I also recommend the hotel next door (Hotel Green Horizon), which is good value and has friendly staff.

    Even though I couldn’t cross Larkya Pass because of the bad weather and couldn’t follow the Annapurna Circuit as planned, my Nepal holiday became a nice experience thanks to the perfect organization by Ramesh, the owner of Nepal Mountain Trekkers. Also in advance of the trip a very patient and detailed advice on the planning. Whenever the bus arrived somewhere, someone was there immediately to pick it up. Thanks to the great guide Krishna who was always by my side as the trekking through the numerous landslides became more and more demanding. When I go back to Nepal, it's only with Nepal Mountain Trekkers.

    We organized a guided Manaslu circuit trek while staying at Hotel Green Horizon. With the help of Suman, who was originally from the Manaslu region, we managed to arrange the trek in a way that suited us perfectly (being able to continue to Annapurna circuit on our own). With Suman and his experience and knowledge about the treks in Nepal, it felt we were able to arrange exactly the kind of trek WE wanted. As for the guide, we could not have asked for a better one in Sonam, who was professional, informative and considered our opinions. Sonam was such a lovely person! Unfortunately, we were not able to finish our trek due to dengue fever. However, Sonam was very helpful and made us feel safe while we were sick in the mountains. In the end, Suman and our guide Sonam arranged us an evacuation back to Kathmandu. You could feel how sorry they were for us for not being able to continue the trek but they cheered us and helped us out to arrange other stuff in Nepal. Communication with both Suman and Sonam was fluent in English.

    We just finished a two month stay in Nepal. From the airport our taxi driver recommended we go through Nepal Mountain Trekkers to book all our trekking-related needs, and drove us immediately to Ramesh’s shop outside his Hotel Green Horizon. Through Ramesh, we purchased our flights to Lukla for our Three Passes Trek, a jeep ride to the Manaslu Circuit trailhead, and our required guide for Manaslu. The entire experience was extremely smooth. Ramesh was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable and helped ensure our experience in Nepal was a great one. Our Manaslu trek guide, Krishna, was also great. Ramesh’s Hotel Green Horizon in Kathmandu is beautiful, quiet, and clean.

    Thank you to Ramesh at Nepal Mountain Trekkers and Expeditions for organising our group trip. We could not fault this company everything ran smoothly, our very experienced and knowledgeable guide TB kept us safe. TB went way beyond his duties of a trekking guide, even providing us with bed tea each morning. His infectious laughter and sense of humour kept our spirits high. We would not hesitate in recommending this fantastic company
