Reliable Professional And Really Good Communicaters

Reliable, professional and really good communicaters. Def recommend

Definitely recommend these guys. I did a lot of research before choosing a trekking company for my family hike in Langtang Valley in Oct 2025. Nepal Alternative Treks were among the cheapest and proved to be exceptional. Our point of contact, Tej, was responsive and easy to deal with.

They picked us up from the airport and the next day met us at our hotel to run us through the itinerary and what to expect. They checked our gear and made suggestions.

Our guide, Amar, was awesome. Informative, amicable and professional. The monsoon had not quite cleared when we trekked, so Amar had to take us through several landslides. He changed our route and timings to manage the risk and got us through our trek safely. We even summited Tserko Ri peak (around 5000m), which he timed so we’d have clear weather and magnificent views, when many other guides misjudged and had their clients climbing into clouds!

Monsoon rain put our flight home in doubt. But the driver provided by Nepal Alternative Treks waited for us at the airport just in case we couldn’t depart. When our flight was cancelled, he took us back to our hotel. They were not obliged to do this, and I reckon many companies wouldn’t have waited the hour or so for us. I want to acknowledge this act of kindness and highly recommend them to anyone considering a trek in Nepal.

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 :)."
