Trek booking opened for 2025/26 ! A notice for Lukla flight diversion through Manthali Airport from March, April and October and November 2025 !

“Last Dec was my 2nd winter trek in Nepal Himalaya in which I planned for a 13 days trek to Tilicho Lake & crossing Thorong La.

I have used NAT&E to arrange for porter-guide & my flight tickets back from Jomsom.

Everything went well. Thanks to the hospitality of Tej & Lal Gurung!! Especially in assisting my return from Jomsom to Kathmandu after all flights were cancelled following heavy snowing. We had indeed decided to trek down the mountain & took a jeep. Though I still missed my flight back to my country. Thank you!

If I’d recommend few opportunities for improvement, I’d be glab to list the below…
– as the snowing around Manang was heavy before my trip & Tilicho was known to be closed for trekking already. I thought it would be appropriate to inform the client in advance so that plan change be changed to maximize the trekking experince.
– The USD100 charge of taxi from Pokhara to Kathmandu seemed to be really steep to replace the flight mode which was originally planned.

Apart from these, I’d say NAT&E had been a great agent to facilitate any trekking holidays in Nepal.

I’d recommend to anyone who is looking for some help to plan for a trip to Nepal.

Thanks Tej & Lal Gurung!!!”

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.

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 :)."
