Testimonials

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!!

Trip was organised with sincere consideration, lodge we stayed were nice and our guide made sure we have had our food.
Must recommend this wonderful management and professional guides company, Nepalgram. Manaslu was a great choice, and if you go with Nepalgram i assure your best experience.

I was trekking with Arun, we did the Ebc + Gokyo and cho la pass. Throughout everything i was treated as a friend and Everything was taken care of throughout. All in all it was a great experience!

Nepalgram was an exceptional company to trek with. They go above and beyond expectations to make sure you enjoy your tour, and are passionate about leaving you with positive memories of Nepal. Nepalgram truly cares, and is more than just a tour company. I hope to take more trips with them in the future.

I had one of the great time with Arun in two days of kahmandu valley tour. I was with my girlfriend for 4 days in Kathmandu, Nepalgram made our tour full of information and tour of off the touristic destinations.

We went to pashupatinath temple, monkey temple, swyambhunath, Bhaktapur durbar square, patan and kumari place at Basantapur palace.

It was nice experience having lunch at locals place while in Bhaktapur. We had a great time with Nepalgram. I strongly recommend them. I am sure I will visit nepal again and use Nepalgram for my trip.

I am Very happy to choose Nepalgram for my trek to everest base camp and gokyo. Guide sudip is doing great job.
It was good response of emails and information to choose the trek was unbeatable. Arun was corresponding emails, it was great of him that he shared lots of information about the trek. Eventually he was a trekking and tour guide for more than decades. He still goes trek, that is why his information were absolute.

I recommend Nepalgram for your trip to Nepal.

I booked this trek to langtang with Arun, he was informative from the starting to the end of the conversation. I did trek with one of my small boy, Arun was nice taking care of both of us and his information about the trail and the people made me interested and curious to my 13 years boy. I really liked the hike that we went up a peak, they said it Kyanjing Ri. I would recommend anyone to go as early as possible, because the weather is clear in the early morning in this time of year. Our porter mani was nice guy with cheerful gesture and kind heart, i thank Nepalgram making my trip memorable. Really looking forward to do either EBC or ABC with them.

I was very happy about guide’s english (slow but clear), correspondance from the begining to the end of booking process, i liked how Arun got best room and food with fruits after dinner. Basically they are the best local comany i can recommend to anyone.

Had the most amazing time with Arun and his team. I had a crazy plan to go trekking even with very little experience and this was my first time in a high altitude area so I was not feeling well for most of the trek. Arun was so great making sure I felt well and was well taken care of.
