Testimonials

I did two days cycling tour with Nepalgram, it was great fun i had in my life, right after 5 days of Ghorepani Poonhill trek. Mountain bike and three different lads from completely different country was interesting trip together. Our guide Ramesh was nice with us and his encouraging chartings are great. We took couple of breaks at organic farm, but we could not meet the owner of the farm as we were supposed to. However, Ramesh was caring, informative, a good man for us.

My husband, our adult daughter and I did the Manaslu trek with Arun. Everything was well arranged and the hike itself was very beautiful. We hiked along a river for a day or so and when you get into the Himalayan mountains it is breathtaking. Arun found extra blankets for us when we needed them and was always good with the pace. I would highly recommend this trip with Arun.

Booked trekking with the best guide’s company in Nepal. I am very happy that I choose Nepalgram for my trip to Manaslu circuit. From the beginning of the email corresponding to the farewell dinner Arun was an outstanding person. He became friend of the trek and took care of our accommodation, food and breaks that we needed during the walk. He managed to take us to pokhara at the end of the trip, it was so nice of Arun.

Trekking of Manaslu is beautiful. Our guide Arun told us about the region mountain and the people. He has good amount of knowledge about the region. It was nice to do email conversation directly with someone who is guiding himself. Without doubt go with Nepalgram for your trip in Nepal.

Despite Nepalgram being a very young agency, it does not lack on perfect organization and professionalism. Arun, the agency leader, has been very informative during our communications before the trip and always responding promptly. We had a quite limited time (only 14 days) and thanks to Arun’s planning, we used every single minute of that time.

The first day, while Arun was obtaining all the necessary permits, he arranged a trip to Bhaktapur with a professional guide, Binaya, who provided a great information on the cultural sites. Then a private jeep took us to the beginning of a trek in Sotikhola. Our trekking guide, Phuri, was also excellent – well experienced and very helpful and Robi, the porter was great as well. We were really well taken care of in terms of lodges and food. Altogether, it was a great experience and we strongly recommend Nepalgram to any trekker.

Arun was the main guide for an Everest Basecamp trek I did a number of years ago. Arun provided an incredible experience a a very informed and supportive trekking guide. However, I was more impressed by Arun as a human being. He was so kind, curious, warm and open, and I believe that it was his unique spirit along with his guiding/trekking skills that provided a really wonderful and unique experience for me. I would not hesitate to recommend him, as I hope to do another trek with him in the near future.

Arun was then group guide to base camp. I had experienced very bad mountain sickness. Arun was the one to accompany me all the way when I cannot catch up group’s pace. He was the one who did not put me behind and help me to arrive the destiny.

Because of Arun’s help, this trip could become a lifetime memory for me. Arun is not only a guide but a friend, a true friend. I wish he be successful with opening his own company. I would definitely come back again to explore more in Nepal, a beautiful country, with Arun’s guide!

I did 8 days Langtang trekking with Nepalgram, They managed the trip perfect from the beginning to the end. Arun at the office replied all my questions with cheering smile and he was the guide for the trekking himself.

He is a kind hearted man, took care of my food, accommodation, made sure we eat at the time. He made sure i got the good accommodation and gave me a perfect company throughout the entire trip. Trekking was not that hard but some uphills were not great. View from my room at Kyanjing gompa was unreal.

I will never forget that cozy room at Kyanjing with indoor toilet, they are the best. I would highly recommend them for your trip to Nepal. Arun will help you to find a trip that fits your interest.

This was my second trek with Arun, now with his newly founded company NEPALGRAM. Trip included also a Kathmandu valley tour.

If you are looking for a hassle free experience with a professional, knowledgeable guide, who is attentive, genuine, super nice, speaks perfect English and really goes the extra mile for his clients – Arun is your guy!

Arun has an exceptional ability to make people around him feel comfortable, safe and cared for. His insight of the Nepalese culture is priceless. Arun is very easy to talk to, and I really enjoyed the conversations we had and the stories he told. He is very safety oriented, and should there be any concerns about the weather conditions or your health during the trek, he will come up with plans b, c and even d, and you’ll evaluate together what is the best option to proceed.

Langtang trek is said to be one of the easiest ones, but don’t worry, there’s still enough uphill to be climbed. 😉
Our amazing porter Mani took care of my backpack during the trek, so I got to focus on getting myself to the next village.

The Langtang valley is very beautiful and during the trek you get to see the landscape change from lush forests to snowy mountains, numerous villages and various kinds of wild life. The view from Kyanjing Ri is mind-blowing!

I would also recommend to opt for the Sherpa village route on the way back and stay in the village for a night – the views are amazing and the ambience in the village is really laid back and relaxed. After the trek, you can visit the hot springs in Syabrubesi to pamper your tired feet.

The accommodation during the trek is in teahouses, most of them equipped with western toilet and warm shower. Food is often simple, but good. Nights can be chilly, but I had a sleeping bag and I was never cold at night. After the day’s trek there is a lot of idle time as you usually reach the destination by 2 or 3pm, so it’s a good idea to bring books or other entertainment for the nights.

Card games are also a popular way to pass time. There is wifi available in many villages (for an extra fee), from my experience it was working well at least in Langtang and Kyanjing Gompa villages. Charging was free in the teahouses we stayed.

After the trek we took a tour to see the UNESCO world heritage sites Pashupatinath temple in Kathmandu, Patan Durbar Square and Bhaktapur.

Again, Arun went out of his way to explain everything that was going on (it was a Holiday, so lots of ceremonies took place), to tell the stories and to answer the questions. We also visited a local attraction in Bhaktapur with no other western tourists, which was very special.

I got to see amazing sights and learned a lot about the culture. Without a professional guide, I would have gotten very little to nothing out of the experience. I strongly recommend to hire a local guide for your treks and tours, their insight is just priceless!

I can’t thank Arun and Mani enough for their time and effort, and will be looking forward to doing another trek with them in the future.

If you’re planning a trip to Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend to choose NEPALGRAM as your trek & tour operator!

What to say after the perfect Getaway! Great organization by Arun from Start to finish…see us at check in at Kathmandu Airport heading to Lukla. I cannot assume how it would work without the professional guidance. I had wonderful days by making new friends during the trek. And I never forget the well organized daily stages. Thanks a lot for all!

I already thought about new challenges in this region for which I will take Nepalgram into first consideration…I can really recommend!

I’m so grateful I had the chance to trek the Himalayas!! Being surrounded by the amazing mountains in Nepal has given me the chance to realize so much about myself, the others and the nature!

It wasn’t an easy hike but it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life!

And it was so much more relaxed because I truly trusted the experience and professionalism of Arun and his team! As a female solo traveler I wasn’t sure what to expect, but since the beginning I felt I was in good hands. I joined a very nice group and had to worry only about walking and keeping myself hydrated and warm, all the rest was very well taken care of!

I recommend trekking the Everest region with an experienced guide even if the paths are well marked because there is so much more to these mountains and when you delegate things like accommodation, food, weight, distances, weather, etc., you feel free to enjoy an hassle free experience!!
