We, 3 friends, travel to South Asia for 2 Months especially focus on India, Nepal and Bhutan for Trekking and Peak Climbing. In India, We trekking in Ladakh for 13 days that was wonderful for us. Then we fly to Nepal for Peak climbing with Nepal Guide Treks. Next day, we headed toward Dhunche(a place) by bus then after we trek about 5-6 hrs every day for next 12 days. that was hard to us but also enjoy the beautiful nature, landscape of surrounded place of Langtang Valley. Our Guide Lakpa Sherpa and porters was helpful for us. Lakpa told us, various thing about Yala Peak, Langtang Village and valley, peoples and Culture. We moved forward Yala Base Camp and then to Yala Peak. That was easy forward trekking peak with help of using crampons and ropes. When we top of Yala Peak, that was awesome of himalaya like Dorje Lakpa, Langtang Lirung, Naya Kanga Peak and other snow-capped mountains. Everything went well and scrency from top of the peak was breathtaking. We back to base camp and then back to Kathmandu. Larkpa Sherpa was great guide to us. His guidance can achieve the Yala Peak. Also thanks Nepal guide treks to arranging beautiful trip for us. Excellent Teams and organize our trip. Best for Luck.

Fantastic trip. It is very full on....Explore warn you. One hotel was substandard....Explore will not be using it on next trip. Loved the fact we were in non-touristy areas. I had 2 extra nights at a beach hotel in Goa to relax.....worth doing if you can. A few train journeys which I loved (worth considering a rucksack or holder as luggage rather than suitcase). Go with an open mind and you will love it.

This local travel specialist provided an exceptional trekking experience to Everest Base Camp. Their communication before the trek was excellent, ensuring that we were well-prepared for the journey ahead. Upon arriving in Kathmandu, we were warmly greeted by Mr. Bharat and transferred to our hotel. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla was breathtaking and set the tone for an unforgettable trip. The trek to Namche and the rest day were well-planned, with a hike to Hotel Everest View that offered stunning views of Himalayas including Mt Everest and more. The highlight of the trek was undoubtedly the journey to Everest Base Camp and Kalapattar. The scenery was awe-inspiring, and the team ensured that we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. We took a helicopter ride back to Kathmandu from Gorekshep and it was an adventure we will never forget. Our trekking guide Ram, and our porter Sanu were experienced and attentive, ensuring that we had a comfortable and enjoyable trekking experience.

Wonderful trek experience, my favorite part was the Tsum Valley extension - walking through the pine forest, with rhododendrons in bloom and surrounded by birdsong, was lovely, particularly with the reduced levels of donkey traffic relative to the main route! Crossing the Larkya La in perfect weather made for a stunning climax to the trip.

We've just come back from Manaslu and Tsum Valley trek organised by Nest Adventure. Sandip, manager of the company, was very responsive from first contact by email and he answered all our questions before our trip and prepared the trek for us. We had very experienced local guide KP and two amazing and funny porters Krishna and Amrit, who worked very hard to make our trek enjoyable. Thanks again guys, dhanyabatt.
