Hari was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the trekking. Very sociable lal ( “ King Lal”) and jaynadra were very helpful. They took the time specially Jaymdra, to go back and to help us cross difficult terrains. The trek was worth every sweat, effort & Leech!
Namaste !

Mr. James Rule
Canada

This was very memorable trip! Most of all, the service we received from Nepal alternative was expectative. Everyone in the organization was friendly, flexible and polite. First of all, they were extremely helpful and understanding. They easily adjusted our trip, one day late and attended to my needs while waiting for my daughter to arrive. As well, on our trek, we were treated “royally”. They had a sense of humor. We felt “light at home” and they explained many details to us which enriched our experience. We highly recommend this team for trekking to anyone who is wishing Nepal.
