Two Treks, Two Guides, both with One Great Company!
It's quite daunting arranging your own trek in Nepal, with over 3000 companies to choose from! I chose Nepal Nirvana Trails because of their link with Lost Earth Adventures in the UK. It is a family business and KP, the owner, was brilliant from start to finish. He always kept in touch at every point of the trek, checking that everything was going well and according to plan. He is very open, friendly, helpful and flexible, all of which ensure a good experience.
It was my first time in Nepal and I did two treks, as well as spending some time on my own. The Helambu circuit took me through beautiful landscapes and traditional villages. The route was fairly quiet and involved several steep ascents and descents through national parks. My guide, Shukram, was excellent, always helpful and spoke English very well. All the accommodation was spotlessly clean and exceeded my expectations. The food was also tasty and plentiful. Secondly I did the Dampush trek which was easy but interesting, visiting beautiful Nepali villages with spectacular early morning mountain views. It was very peaceful and relaxing. My guide, Dipak, was very helpful and friendly with excellent knowledge of the area and rural life. He also speaks very good English.
Nepal Nirvana is a great company and make every effort to do the best for each individual need; I always felt safe and will definitely choose Nepal Nirvana Trails for a future trip to Nepal
