My trek around the Manaslu Circuit was an unforgettable adventure! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking — from lush valleys and breathtaking mountains to beautiful Nepalese villages... every day offered something spectacular. A huge thank-you to my guide, Dawa, whose kindness, helpfulness, and constant positivity made the journey even more special. He took care of the every detail, no matter how small, made sure I always felt safe and inspired and showed me some of the most amazing places I've been to. I can’t recommend this experience enough — it’s the perfect mix of challenge, beauty, and Nepalese warmth.

I cannot say enough good things about Nepal Nirvana Trails.

My daughter and I just completed a private luxury EBC trek with Nepal Nirvana Trails in October 2025, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. We spent a long time planning for the trip, and KP (the managing director) and his staff (who are also his family, as it is a family business) were incredibly thorough and responsive to my myriad questions before the trip.

Once we were in Nepal, KP went above and beyond time and again to make us feel welcome and ensure our trip – both during the trek and in Kathmandu – was truly memorable and enjoyable. After returning from the trek, we also booked a one-day Kathmandu city tour with him (see my separate review). As an example, he personally accompanied us to the airport to make sure our trip was smooth.

Our guide, Bhairas, was fantastic. He was highly experienced, knew everyone on the mountain and at the tea houses, and was always attentive and helpful. He struck a great balance between letting us choose what we wanted to do while providing guidance based on his extensive experience as a guide. Our safety and well-being were always his top priorities. Our porter, Bala, was very helpful as well and worked incredibly hard to make our trip smooth and enjoyable.

The trek went very smoothly and we were extremely happy with all the arrangements, including the helicopter transportation and lodging. The tea houses exceeded our expectations and the service was great. Most offered en suite bathrooms, showers, Wi-Fi, in-room charging, and electric blankets – only the last two had shared bathrooms.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to KP, Bhairas, Bala, and the entire Nepal Nirvana team for working so hard to give us such a wonderful and unforgettable adventure.

We did a three week trek to the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley with Nepal Nirvana Trails. Our experience was great. KP (the owner of the company) organized the whole trip thoroughly and explained everything in detail before we went on the journey, the communication was great.

Thanks to Chhiring, he was the best guide we could have asked for. He has many years experience, was very knowledgeable about local customs and culture and made us feel safe during the whole trip. He also has an inspiring personality, his smiles and positive attitude are contagious. We can fully recommend him for anyone going trekking in Nepal!

My trek started in a rainy Kathmandu, but KP was able to arrange a helicopter flight instead of a plane, as I probably wouldn't have made it to Lukla that day. The ever-smiling Santosh, who was my trekking guide, was willing to carry my 8 kg of luggage, so we canceled the porter, and the money saved covered the difference in the cost of the helicopter flight. It was a perfect example of how KP knew how to deal with a situation and quickly come up with a plan to arrange everything for me. The trek was beautiful, the weather worked out perfectly for me, but the nights were cold, so Santosh arranged a special blanket for me at each lodge. In Khare, my climbing guide, Lakpa Sherpa, was waiting for me, and climbing shoes and a thick sleeping bag were ready. So I didn't have to drag things from home that you would only use for 1-2 days. We used the acclimatization day in Khare for a short climb, but mainly to wait for better weather, because the days before, there was a strong wind at the summit. The climb to High Camp was quite challenging, but the trekking and climbing guides helped me with a sleeping bag, so I had a lighter backpack. And the night climb to the summit was perfect. I had never hiked at such a height before, but Lakpa knew exactly how much to walk and when to stop for a breather. We had a great time, and at sunrise we experienced beautiful views of Everest and the entire eastern Himalayas. I have to thank KP, Santosh, and Lakpa for allowing me to have the experience of a lifetime and for fulfilling my dream of seeing Everest and the Himalayas.

We did the Kathmandu city tour with our guide Shankar after completing the Tsum valley trek and it was really good to experience Kathmandu with a guide that explained everything about the Nepali culture. It was an amazing experience and we recommend it to everyone that are doing the Nirvana treks and have a day to spend in Kathmandu

I recently completed a fantastic 3-week trek on the Manaslu and Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Nirvana Trails, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team ensured that every aspect of our journey was exceptional. 
Our guide, Jami Rai, was incredibly caring. He consistently secured the best rooms for us and made sure we had enough calories to tackle each day's challenges. His knowledge of the mountains, animals, and flowers was impressive. He was truly caring with us, other hikers, and locals alike. Jami was always ready to help us, making sure the trails were safe. He also has an impressive work ethic! Jami is the GGOAT (Greatest Guide of All Time 😉)!
The support from KP and his family at the agency was equally commendable. They were flexible and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied with their services.
I highly recommend Nepal Nirvana Trails for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Nepal. If I have the opportunity to do another trek, I will definitely return with Nepal Nirvana Trails! In the meantime, I will recommend Jami and the company to anyone who goes to Nepal. 😊

We had the most wonderful time hiking in the three passes with Nepal Nirvana! Unfortunately the weather was not good enough to fly so we took a jeep. It was so well organised and seamless making the processes of getting to the start of our hike a breeze and added to the experience seeing what rural Nepal is like. The hike itself was absolutely incredible and we were so lucky to have stunning weather throughout. Our guide was great, had lots of knowledge and was very accommodating. We were well feed, watered and looked after even when a couple of us were a bit under the weather. I can’t recommend doing it enough. Definitely the highlight of our trip in Nepal and we will no doubt be back in the future.

We had an incredible experience doing the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek with Nepal Nirvana Trails. From the first contact, KP was very friendly and provided us with a lot of information and help. He was responding very quickly and clearly to our questions and made sure everything was organised well.
During the trek, our guide Jangbu made sure that we had the best possible experience. From sharing his extensive knowledge about the area, the nature and the culture, to being a really nice person to be around and making sure that we were taken care of well during our stays at the teahouses, he made our time at the trek a memory to never forget!
