A Wonderful 8 Days Trekking Holiday With Poon Hill And A. B. C. In The Himalayas

A wonderful 8 days trekking holiday with Poon Hill and A. B. C. in the Himalayas

Already during the preparation of our 8 days holiday in Annapurna region, we felt the professionalism of the organizer. They really thought of everything, from accommodations and meals to equipment. We were received by the organizer in Kathmandu and accompanied by the guide and porter during the bus ride. This had the advantage that we quickly found the tourist bus. Our guide, a woman, was always professional, safely led us through the mountains, and provided important tips during the trek, so that we received a lot of additional information and could always be at the most beautiful places at the right time. We always felt safe and well accompanied, without the guide and porter being intrusive. We especially liked that she quickly established a personal connection with us, spoke very good English, and paid attention to our family.
She lovingly took care of our meals in the huts and even prepared her own dessert for us in the evening.
All stages were perfectly planned and the schedule was followed exactly. The porter carried our luggage and was always on time at the destination.
To mark the successful completion, we were rewarded with a beautiful cake featuring the main milestones of our trek.
The T-shirts and caps we also received as gifts will be treasured, and they will always remind us of this wonderful journey.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the organizer and his team.
Nepal Alternative Treks is our favorite for trekking tours in Nepal.
We can warmly recommend them.

Mera Peak Climb – go on, give it a go!

From the first email to the last hug, I cannot recommend Tej and his team at Nepal Alternative Treks and Expeditions enough! I've just returned from a Mera Peak attempt and can safely say - after 15 years of travelling back and forth to Nepal, that this trip has taken the proverbial cake. Nothing was a bother for Tej - a brain filled with detail and attention and an abundance of knowledge about his team, the regions and how best to cater the trip for his clients. Despite the weather having other plans for us - the climb/trek was a complete success, not just on a personal level, but thanks to planning, fantastic support from my trekking guide Ugal and climbing guide Gyalje, the porters, chefs and each village we stopped at. We were some of the first to open the trails for the season, so it was super quite and peaceful during our walks. We went up in sunshine and blue skies and came down in some of the most incredible snow i've seen in a long time. Not once did I think my safety was a concern - despite falling off Mera La at 5500m and maybe even into a cheeky crevasse at one point. The food on trail was delicious and hygenic. The tea houses were comfy and warm and so very welcoming. I've never had the comfort of a heated blanket at 5000m in all my travels to Nepal - but Refuge Mera at Khare has you covered - some of the best, well-rested nights of my life, which is an achievement at altitude. A last minute decision by me meant plans down the line needed changing - which was a non-issue and done without any hassles, and everyone involved was supportive and excited to participate. I ended up travelling as a solo female when our second member had to cal last minute - and i was treated with such respect and dignity, as I have been during all my travel to Nepal. Again, Tej and his team of experts were fantastic and I highly recommend if you're planning a trip to Nepal to get in touch and see what they have to offer.

This Mera Peak adventure made me feel like a real climber

"Trekking through the Himalayas is a magical adventure that everyone should experience. We wanted to explore a quieter, higher and more technical region than Everest Base Camp - Mera Peak was the perfect challenge. We also wanted to work with a local Nepalese company so that any money we spent went directly to the community. After a thorough "Google" search, we came across Tej at Nepal Alternative Treks. He communicated quickly and efficiently with us via email to arrange our trip, from start to finish, and easily answered all our questions. Our trek guide, Nauser, is a credit to the company. We were very lucky to have such a fun, organised and knowledgeable guide with a permanent smile on his face! Thank you team :)."
