I got to know of Nepal AT&E from a fellow blogger who had mentioned about how good their guide was when he visited ABC. I went by his word and did not bother to do any personal research. He connected me to someone called Tej Gurung. Tej ji and I exchanged numerous emails and he made me feel extremely comfortable from Day 1. I was so comfortable that I did not even check out Nepal AT&E in the Internet to know any reviews. After we arrived at Kathmandu, Tejji introduced us to Amar, who would be our guide and be with us the next few days. Amar was extraordinary. The more I praise him the less it is. Right from the time we met, his main concern was our comfort. He went beyond his duty to accommodate our requirements. For e.g. , there was a miscommunication regarding the bags that Amar would carry and we had two bags instead of one. Amar left behind his own bag and carried ours to make sure we face no difficulties. Amar was like our lifeline, he was like my younger brother and always went the extra mile to make us comfortable. Trekking in the Himalayas isn’t new to me and I have trekked several times in the India. I have met several guides and porters but Amar was completely different from everyone else I had met. He was extremely professional and never shied away from doing the best for us. Amar is extremely patient and always remained right behind us even during time when we were very slow. My good luck to Amar in whatever he does.
I am very very satisfied with Nepal AT&E and I know all my future Nepal treks will happen with Nepal AT&E. Thank you Tej and Amar. I wish Nepal AT&E with loads of growth and success.

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.Erin Hosking

Mear Peak !
"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 :)."Maria Bentley
