Nepalgram helped us choose the right trek for our needs. Ended up doing a private 14 day Nar-Phu trek with them as it's less crowded and showcases a lot of historic villages in addition to the beautiful mountains! Our guide Shiva was phenomenal and the perfect blend of attentive to our needs and standoffish so we felt we had plenty of privacy and freedom. Or trek was cut a little short due to bad weather and we were blessed to have Nepalgrams support to arrange last minute accommodation and transport for us while many other treckers were left stranded. We felt very well taken care of for a very affordable rate, while heartedly recommend Nepalgram to all my friends and family.Show more

We had an incredible time trekking in the Nar Phu Valley with Nepalgram. Pur guide, Shiva, was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - we felt very looked after the entire trip. The views of the mountains, the high villages and the ruins of Khamba settlements where unlike anything I've seen anywhere else in the world - truly unique and gorgeous. The company also made all the logistics so easy including buses/jeeps and permits, im not sure how we would have done it by ourselves! We hope to do another trek at some point and will definitely use Nepalgram again!Show more

The Langtang Valley Circuit Trek (11 Days) was an incredible experience! Stunning views of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, and Dorje Lakpa, along with the rich Tamang culture and warm hospitality, made this trek unforgettable. A big thanks to Nepalgram Adventure for their excellent organization and support. If you're looking for a scenic, less crowded, and culturally rich trek, I highly recommend them!Show more
