Nepal Explorer Tours 2017/2018

“Excellent”

“We did the Langtang Trek starting in late August through early September. The trek was beautiful, accessible for first time multi-day trekkers like ourselves, and allowed us to experience many different climates and cultures in the short time we had. Technically, anything before mid-September is monsoon season, which brings a few added challenges, but it turned out fantastic. Although it rained every day, the more intense rain was mostly overnight or luckily when we stopped for meals (we never got soaked). The clouds/fog kept us cooler while trekking long distances (the sun is hot!) and made it that much more mystical/special when the clouds broke and snow-capped peaks were revealed in the distance. We also had a lot more peace and tranquility on the trail. We saw only a handful of other trekkers in the first 6 days (many more the last 2) and were most nights the only people are our guest house. This was perfect for the type of trek we wanted.

Our guide Ramesh was, simply put, world-class. He brought 20 years of experience as a guide across many Nepal treks, spoke good English, and was incredibly caring / clearly looking out for us the entire time. He would lead or follow depending on the area of the trail; make sure we took the more scenic route out and (when we wanted to) a quicker route back; stop us 15-30 min before or after the primary towns to optimize for better food, hot showers, and western toilets; helped us navigate safe/unsafe food items and order effectively with guest house owners who didn't speak great English; start us earlier when (and only when) it would allow for better views or cooler temperatures on a steep climb; and brought a great deal of knowledge about mountain vs. western remedies when my wife had a stomach illness and sinus headache at high altitudes. Ramesh also seemed to perfectly balance spending time with us and letting us have alone time to decompress. We always felt in great hands with Ramesh, and would highly recommend him as a guide to anyone trekking in Nepal.”

“Though the trip was end May recently, but I am still feeling those great moments after the 3 months. AWESOME is the word that sums up my entire experience. I am not an experienced trekker, and I am not one of the fitter ones too. Hence I am really grateful for not just my supportive team mates, but the helpful guides and friendly porters. Though the wet weather made it difficult, I did not one bit felt broken by it. Though lots of packing and unpacking, it never exhaust me. I am feeling so full in my heart with this trip because I consider it one of my life achievement, and I did it with my beloved one.”

“Thank you Upendra and Himalayan Leisure team for a memorable adventure in Nepal! It was worth taking!”

“We are back to Kathmandu and having flight back to Malaysia soon! We had a great time in Nepal with the company, our guide Bal and porters. Thank you everyone who helped us throughout the journey! We can't thank you enough!”

“Spectacular trip to EBC that was smoothly organized 5 months in advance from the US. Exciting Nepal was great, and our Sherpa Suman was outstanding the entire trek!”

“Me and my girlfriend did this trek in August - September, 2017. This trek was not a easy choice but we survived. Everything went great, loved the trip!”
