We are a group of 3 having only a short holiday of about 6 days and trekked in Nepal for the first time. We read there would be many tourists in Poon Hill and so we chose the new trek to Mohare Danda in mid-March. We trekked for about 4 days from Galeshwor (1170m) to Banskharka (1526m), Nangi (2320m), to Mohare Danda (3300m), down to Khibang, and then back to Pokhara. The trek was wonderful. With Ammar Gurung as our guide and Dal Gurung and Iman Gurung as our porters (from Nepal Alternative Treks & Expeditions), we saw beautiful rhododendron, walked in hail and snow in the mountains. On the steep snowy slope, with the help of attentive Ammar, experienced Dal and entertaining Iman, I thought I was flying on the snow! Staying in the community lodges in the mountains, it was freezy cold and it was good the company

Staying in the community lodges in the mountains, it was freezy cold and it was good the company provided us with very warm sleeping bags.
We saw amazingly beautiful Fishtail and Annapurna mountain range on Mohare Danda. I guess as this is a new trek, there were only 7 tourists, including 3 of us, enjoying the gorgeous views and peaceful environment early in the morning on Mohare Danda. And the amazing views were just outside the community lodge where we had breakfast and some steps away from where we slept. We really had a most wonderful time in Nepal.

You should provide the insurance documents before you depart for the trek.
If you do not or cannot find an appropriate insurance policy, we will assist you with one. It will help you in potential altitude sickness and unforeseen events due to sudden weather change.
Yes, we do pay for the insurance policy of our team members. Nepal Alternative Treks fund the expenses for insurance of all of its members along with their meals, salary, lodging, transportation, and other necessary equipment.
What is Acute Mountain Sickness? What chances to catch AMS in this route ? What happens if we fall sick?
As you ascend, the atmospheric pressure decreases. Hence, the amount of oxygen available also decreases. When your body is unable to acclimatize adequately to a rapid decrease in oxygen volume, altitude sickness occurs. Its symptoms are nausea, vomiting, headache, lack of appetite, exhaustion, muscle aches, rapid pulse even at rest (+/- 120 beats per minute), and insomnia.
To avoid AMS, our itineraries include acclimatization days in between. You should walk at a slow and steady pace, eat enough carbohydrates, and drink plenty of water. You could eat chocolates and toffee while walking and avoid alcohol and smoking.
You have some chances to get AMS on the trek if the trail ascends above 3000m in general. The highest elevation is 3300m. at Mohare Danda you will reach on this route, so you have no risk of AMS.
Our guides are well-trained to handle emergencies like AMS and other sicknesses. They know how to use an oxygen meter to monitor blood oxygen saturation levels at high altitudes. They can facilitate you with other medical kits (First Aid) and health check-up as per necessity.
If you happen to have symptoms of AMS or the feeling of being sick, you have to report it to your guide immediately. You must not ascend any further, take rest, and take medicines like acetazolamide or Diamox. If symptoms persist, you must descend to a lower altitude and visit a doctor immediately. If the condition seems to worsen, we shall coordinate with your insurance company for helicopter evacuation.
Can we change money along the trek ? Can we pay by credit card or foreign currency ?
No, you won’t be able to change money along route. We recommend changing money at Thamel or Pokhara. Credit card and foreign currency is not accepted along the route. You are better to take enough cash from Kathmandu/Pokhara.
What kind of food will be provided during this trek?
Our package includes three meals per day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Dinner and lunch include the authentic Nepali Daal-Bhat (rice and lentils) along with seasonal vegetables, spinach, and pickle. If you do not like it, you can choose any item from the wide range of menu offered by the lodges.
Tea houses and lodges serve Nepalese, Asian, and Continental food, and even pizzas. The food is prepared hygienically, but the taste of western food might not meet your expectations as there are minimal resources available. We usually suggest eating vegetarian food to avoid falling ill.
How can drinking water be managed in the mountain ?
Bottled plastic water is readily available along route at USD 1 per liter. However, we recommend you carry your own water bottles. You can fill them up with filtered water or boiled water wherever possible and purify them using chlorine or iodine. We shall provide water purification drops and tablets.
How long will we have to hike each day ?
An average day of trekking involves around 4 to 6 hours of hiking, including breaks for meals as needed. The average distance covered depends on the terrain and altitude, but ranges from 10 to 15 kilometers on average.
Along the way, you will have many chances for photography and other personal interests such as bird watching and discovering local areas of interest like natural springs, hot water ponds, and even exploring flora and fauna.
What are the documents that we need to bring for this trek ?
You need to submit the following documents that should be sent via email :
A copy of passport,
Passport-sized photos,
Flight details,
Copy of travel insurance (it has to cover Heli rescue and medical evacuation) and other documents required to claim it.

In this trekking, the accommodation options are homestays and lodges. Nepal Alternative Treks generally manages your accommodation in the best available homestays/lodges that provide single or double rooms with common bathrooms. The bed has a mattress, pillow, and blanket. Most lodges offer a room with a blanket provided by the teahouse alone will not be enough to withstand the cold. So, we provide a warm sleeping bag.
What is the weight limit for porters ?
Usually, we arrange one porter for two trekkers, and one porter carries weights up to 20 kilograms. Hence, each trekker’s luggage should weigh only up to 10 kilograms. However, if your essentials weigh more than that, we can provide you a personal porter with some additional costs.
What kind of toilet facilities are there? Will we be able to take a shower in Mountain ?
Homestays/ Lodges on this trek, you are most likely to find an Indian squat-styled toilet. Finding toilet paper is almost impossible in these areas, so we advise you to carry plenty of your own.
Usually, Nepal Alternative Treks arranges accommodation with proper shower facilities. Please understand that it becomes difficult to arrange running showers and hot water facilities as the altitude increases. So, in remote mountainous regions, showers cost some extra money.
Can we hire trekking gears for this trek in Nepal ?
There are plenty of shops around Kathmandu and Pokhara that sell as well as rent all the necessary gears for trekking, mountaineering, and peak climbing. These shops have great varieties of goods ranging based on their brand as well as price. We will help you with buying or hiring all the necessary equipment.
Is it possible to recharge batteries and electronics during this trek ?
Nowadays, all kinds of facilities, including recharging batteries and electronics, are available in this route and also have electricity and recharging facilities available for a minimal service charge.
Also, note that the Nepalese plugs are of Type D, and the voltage is about 220-240 V. So, make sure that your devices are chargeable. Otherwise, you shall require adapters and voltage stabilizers. I recommend to get local sim called NAMASTE for better network package and 4G uses.
Is it possible to communicate with friends and family back home while on trek ?
There are mobile networks, and internet data available in Mardi Himal, and you can connect to your friends and family back home.
For mobile network and internet data, you will require a Nepalese SIM-Card. If you wish to buy a Nepalese SIM-Card, we will assist you in getting it. You can buy a SIM-Card from local distributors easily with some fees. We recommend Namaste SIM to have better network coverage and 4G data uses.

My friend and I were lucky to find Tej online before visiting Nepal. We knew we wanted to do a trek, but we weren’t sure exactly which trek. Tej sent us a bunch of itineraries for different treks and we chose the Manaslu circuit. When we arrived our guide, Kumar, was waiting for us at the airport and Tej was able to get us all our permits for the trek done in less than 2 hours which was great. The manaslu trek was absolutely amazing! We were super happy with our whole trip and we were lucky to be able to make the pass even though we saw dozens of other people who had to turn back because of the weather. We are already looking forward to going back next year at the same time to trek Everest and we will definitely use Tej again!
“Nepal Alternative Trek addressed my needs according to my schedule and agenda. I stayed most of the time at his home-stay, shuttling between home and the places that I wanted to visit. Tej, the boss behind Nepal Alternative Trek, helped to make my stay in Kathmandu comfortable and productive. He walked me to the monasteries that I wanted to visit and even picked me up when I needed a ride back home.
The home-stay is hosted by his wife and I got to experience living with a Nepalese family, sharing their food, space and laughter.
For the home-stay:
1) Meals available upon request
2) Family get together and chats
3) Regular change of bed-sheets and towels
4) Free WIFI
5) Near Swayambhu and Thamel
6) Safe environment
7) Mountainous forest behind home
8) Walking distance to beautiful monasteries
9) Away from hustle and bustle of towns yet easy to get to town

We had dense forest, mountain, and completely wilderness above the treeline, it was windy and terrain . There is a huge support team. Without them it would not be possible.

So, in summary, phenomenal, success and our confidence there. We know, we can do more and higher in next what bigger thing.
8 days non trek city tour and 21days trek to EBC and chola pass
We love nepal and made 3 time visit to this beutiful country and rich culture. This time last year we came with 6 pax and visited Kathmandu , Pohkara and chitwan with a stay of 2 night in each place. We flew to Pohkara and got the van to chitwan and flew to Kathmandu. Tej arranged all transports overland and flights for us. We did not asked for a local guide but it was all smooth and no problem. We are happy with the service provided by Tej and he made all efforts to make us happy. His company performed professional with the very reasonable pricing. We encountered some small problem with the van transporting us back from nagarkot to kathmandu airport. This van was quite small and it came to pick up quite late that we almost missed the flight to pohkara. We told Tej about this and he must take care of this outsourced van company. Anyway the van in pohkara and to chitwan was excellent , big and comfy. So he has corrected the mistake.
Part 2 was our trek to EBC and chola pass for 21 nights. Tej arranged for flight and guide plus porter. For this trekking it was only me and my wife travelling together. We are about 50 years and used the service of 2 porters cause we bought a lot of dry food plus chocolate. We are difficult persons in terms of foreign food. Our guide Ammer and 2 porters are fabulous. They took care of us very well like we are part of their family.
Overall we strongly recommend this company. They are good and not high expensive tag. We will use their service again in June to trek in Langtang. Rocky
We had a fantastic experience on the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Alternative Treks. Tej, the manager, was helpful, professional and efficient in dealing with our requirements and amendments, the arrangements worked smoothly and the information provided to us was excellent. Our guide Kul was brilliant. He was friendly, knowledgable and experienced and took changes in our itinerary in his stride. Our trekking experience was much better with his help in everything from planning the stages of the route to organising our food and accommodation. Just one warning: he is an ace card player and will probably beat you hands down!
A wonderful & interesting trek overall. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances ( heavy snow fall & Lie ping with a bad cold) we were unable to cross the Ganja la pass. However, our guide Simbir offered us as alternative trek which took us on a difference journey of Nepal. We had the opportunity to visit & stay in many local villages and meet Tamang, Gurung people experience, their lifestyle and culture. We visited our guide’s home town of Chalishgaun and timed it right to join in with Diwali celebrations!
Attempting Everest base camp trekking for me & my group was taking it to the next level. Before this, our limits were Kedarnath, MadMaheshwar & Tunganath with max distances of 18-19 kms spread over 2-3 days. Moreover, these tracks are such that people doesn’t necessarily have to trek. They have the option of ponies. EBC involves a lot for people like us (acclimatization to altitude, strength etc.), but above all, you need someone to provide logistical support, moral support that it can be done. This is where Nepal Alternative Treks does a great job. They organized it very well, guides and porters provided were very reliable and cost is reasonable when you compare to others. They can customize your travel plan according to your need.
A few weeks ago we went on a trip to Nepal, accompanied by a couple of friends who were on their second trip with Nepal Alternative Trek. Our first goal was to trek to the village of Chalish in Ruby Valley. We decided to go with the services of Nepal Alternative Trek to take us up there. We went there partly by jeep, partly walking through the cultivated terraces, meeting the inhabitants of the different communities who worked there.
I must say that the service that Tej offered us was perfect on all lines. First of all, before our departure, months before, Tej always answered our many questions (luggage, temperature, route to be revised, etc.) Always within 24 hours, he answered with a lot of patience.
All the equipment we thought we would need was available at his office.
Our guide Ammar led us to destination with confidence and professionalism. He knew all the trails, and especially all the shortcuts to avoid us having to go up or down too much along our road. He has managed all the difficulties we have encountered: due to personal reasons, we had to change and our itinerary, and our calendar, and he made everything possible. The whole team adapted to our changes. Our guide contacted Tej who orchestrated the changes without us even having to deal with anything.
The porters were attentive and were always in front of our needs.
Our journey continued towards Bandipur with the driver who made us know the various interesting points, from sunrise to sunset, making detours to take us to the most famous places. Then a 2 days stay in Chitwan, and return to Kathmandu again where the driver carried us without calculating from one place to another – God knows that traffic in Kathmandu, Bakhtapur and Patan can be complicated.
Thanks to Tej, and the whole Nepal Alternative Trek team. We will remember forever that amazing experience.
Many thanks to Tej – well organized, Dhan + hal worked Hard, we could not have done it without there Help, they were always there when needed, worked extra to help us when we were sick. Always kind and cheerful
