We traveled in a group of three (my wife, her father and me) by trekking from north of Jomsom to Lo Manthang to visit the Tiji festival. The way back ended in Muktinath.
We did a variation of the normal route to accommodate additional visits and stayed a couple of days longer in Mustang.

The planning of our changes before our arrival in was very smooth and the company was flexible to fulfill our wishes. Additional costs (i.e. for a third porter) were responsible.
When we arrived in Kathmandu we were welcomed by the chef’s wife and driven to our hotel.

We meet the guide for the trek itself in Pokhara the night before the departure to Mustang. He went through the route with us and clarified open questions.
The team (guide + 3 porter) was very friendly and helpful for the entire trip. The routes we took were safe, though one needs to be aware that some spots can be challenging.

The tour itself was physically demanding but rewarded with stunning views and great impressions of the country.

The only problem we had was our guest house in Lo Manthang which insisted that we need to eat there, despite that the food was rather mediocre and there were plenty of others with better food. In general, the tea houses can be a bit basic, especially if the busy Tiji festival is happening, NAT tried to get us the best rooms they could, but with limited availability, there were often none.

My Amazing Everest Trip With Puru

Our experience with My Everest Trip was amazing, Puru helped us during our entire trip and even checked up on us as we were travelling without his company. By the time we finished our month in Nepal we felt like we were very good friends with Puru and everyone involved. If you're going to trek or even just travel in Nepal I highly recommend My Everest Trip!

Wonderful experience in Upper Mustang and Chitwan

How nice to met Tej! We found a warm welcome and helpfulness! As soon as my boyfriend and I arrived in Nepal, he greeted us with beautiful flower garlands. We got to know each other in front of a Nepali tea and Tej managed to understand and organize a perfect tour according to our needs. He introduced us to Amar who turned out to be a knowledgeable and friendly guide who made the experience unique. Amar has a vast knowledge of the area, he got us involved on a route where history and environment merged. We reached the Upper Mustang up to an altitude of 3840m to enjoy the charm of this landscape on the border with Tibet. We travelled long distances by jeep and reached various small villages where we met the local people and spend time with them.x We ended our journey in the Chitwan National Park and on the last day we met up Tej again for a dinner organized by him in a typical restaurant. We left Nepal with good memories and we’ll certainly participate in other Nepal Alternative Treks & Expeditions projects!x
