The scenery on this trek was stunning and the walk itself wasn’t as hard as we had thought it would be.
Our guide, Mr Bisnu, was a really nice guy and very good at his job. The porters, Sondra and Suresh amazed us every day with their carrying ability.
Would very much like to do something like this again with my kids.

Shailesh made the planning part before the trek so easy and was able to answer our questions quickly and efficiently. The trek itself was absolutely fantastic. Our guide Visnu and porters Sandra and Suresh were brilliant. It was like having 3 extra brothers with us (stronger and wiser in the mountains!) and they made the experience even better. The teahouses we stayed in were wonderful with the warmest of receptions and the route itself and views will stay with me for life. A truly memorable and fantastic trek. I will definitely be back and will use Nepal Trekking Routes again for sure.

Trip of a lifetime, whole tour was very well managed by the lovely owner Shailesh, every day was full and we got to see/ do something new; if we ever had any questions/ needed any help he would be contactable and he would sort any issue we had.
Also a thank you to our guide Hari who made every day memorable and really went above and beyond everyday giving us flexibility and options to ensure that we had the best time and did/ saw everything that we wanted.
Thank you both!! 💙💛❤️🩶💜

I was able to ask questions via WhatsApp about all kinds of topics. Everything was discussed in person and on site, the route, the dates, the type of trip and the conditions. The connection via WhatsApp always worked well and quickly.
Both the city guide and the trekking guide were very competent and reliable. The selected tour was beautiful and rich in experiences for the eyes, ears and feet. I felt well looked after and cared for along the way. It was a pleasure to travel with Nepal Trekking Routes Pvt ltd. Everyone involved was very reliable. I would gladly return.

It enables you to explore many areas of Nepal. We were able to travel smoothly with the help of our travel guide ,Shailesh. He picked us up from the airport and organised all elements of the tour so we could travel stress free. Shailesh was always available to contact quickly even when he was not with us. All the drivers and guides he organised were very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time doing a variety of different activities. The whole tour gave us good insight into the culture of Nepal and trekking areas as well. We were able to be flexible with the tour and tailor it to suit us. We trusted the company owner Shailesh and his great sense of humour is a bonus! We would like to come back to Nepal for trekking next time and we will definitely use this company! Highly recommend. Thankyou! Love from Australia

They were great to deal with from organising extra hotel stays to adjusting our trek by skipping a rest day (totally our choice) and organising our flights back on time without asking! Mr Bishnu was amazing! He was such a delight to have him along the way with plenty of laughter and jokes! He took care of us by checking on our health and ensuring we were comfortable each day. I loved that he would always walk behind us without fail so we could set the pace. He was always putting us first - Thanks Boss :)
I would highly recommend the guys at Nepal trekking routes, very professional, organised and so easy to deal with! Thank you for organising a one in a life time experience for us. Skye & Dan

Our trekking experience in Nepal was truly outstanding and exceeded all our expectations. From the very first contact until the end of the trip, everything was perfectly organized and professionally handled.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and attentive at all times. He knew the route in great detail, shared valuable insights about the culture, nature, and daily life in the Himalayas, and constantly monitored our safety and acclimatization. His calm and confident manner made us feel secure, even in challenging situations.
Our porter/Sherpa also did an incredible job. Carrying heavy loads at high altitude is far from easy, yet he was always friendly, helpful, and positive. The dedication and teamwork of the entire crew made a huge difference and contributed greatly to the success of the trek.
The daily stages were well planned, the teahouses were carefully chosen, and the overall itinerary was perfectly balanced. Even when weather conditions changed or minor health issues arose, the team handled everything professionally and with great care.
This was not just a trek, but a truly memorable life experience. Anyone looking to experience the Himalayas in a safe, authentic, and well-organized way will be in excellent hands.
Five stars without hesitation — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend this company.

Shailesh, an exceptional individual, welcomed me at the airport and went above and beyond to enhance my stay in Nepal. The trek commenced in the breathtaking Langtang valley, and as we ascended, the valley unfolded to reveal majestic, ice-capped mountains. In Kyjangin Gompa village, we encountered warm and engaging locals who shared insights into the earthquake and their way of life.
After descending partly, we resumed our ascent toward the sacred Gosaikunda lake. Despite the chilly temperatures, it added to the overall enchanting experience. Alongside my guide Ratna Lama and porter Binod, we became friends and had an incredible time. I really recommend Shailesh for booking, and I am certain to return to Nepal for future adventures!

Even with some flight delays and cancelations getting to Lukla everything afterward was extremely well organized and I was able to make it to Everest Base Camp. Although I was the only traveler on the tour, I enjoyed being able to go at my own pace and had a great guide and porter for the journey. I am very happy I chose to return by helicopter as this allowed for many extra days to visit other places. I reached out in advance of this trip as I wanted so try getting to Chitwan, and sightseeing in and around Kathmandu. All of my questions were answered and I was able to do everything I wanted while in Nepal. I can't recommend it enough to travel with Nepal Trekking Routes!

If you are planning on exploring (the base of) the top of the world -please book with Nepal Trekking Routes. We had a wonderful experience- before we decided to even book our trip the owner answered every question in a timely manner (I asked a lot of questions). We were greeted at the airport and taken directly to our hotel (amazing perk after traveling over 24 hours). Our tour guide Nawin was fantastic, he catered to every request and was an excellent source of information and inspiration (emphasis on inspiration, hiking to EBC was challenging at times). We made it to EBC! Nepal Trekking Routes Really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip- upon our return to Kathmandu they also arranged transportation to the airport and even checked in to make sure we made it back to Miami (excellent customer service). Bottom line we had a magical trip through Himalayas-Nepal trekking routes made it possible!
It's an incredible experience and I highly recommend doing this trek.
