Testimonials

I have recently done the three high passes trek and it easily ranks among the best experiences of my life and that mainly thanks to Arun as the tour guide.

The views along the trek are spectacular with new highlights every day. But during such a trip many things can go wrong that eventually will spoil your experience, so I really counted my blessings getting Arun as my guide, as he managed and handled everything perfectly: Organising the trip, getting prepared in Kathmandu, flying in and out of Lukla, finding accomodations along the trek; you name it, But most importantly, when trekking together for multiple weeks, Arun was just a great companion.

Very knowledgeable of the mountains and the culture, as well as always down for a good chat or a game of cards. So the three high passes trek itself is a highlight, but when booked through Arun, I cannot recommend it enough!

I had an amazing trip with Nepalgram and Arun as my guide. It was special tour going to remote places that aren’t visited frequently by tourists. But with Arun everything was possible, and as a photographer, I got what I came for.

My friend and I booked a 4 day Langtang Valley trekking with Nepalgram and had a wonderful time. We were concerned about hiring a guide since we are very particular about our travel partners. But, by the end of the trek we considered our guide sandeep to be a friend. He was not only a knowledgeable guide but he was interesting, funny, and a pleasure to be around.

Guide took care to walk at a comfortable pace for us and when my friend continued to fall behind (due to inexperience at altitude) he was patient and good-humored. He made sure his oxygen levels were at a safe level and stopped as often as needed to make sure my friend continued to catch up.

The trip was exactly as described – the only surprise was just how stunningly beautiful and spiritual the experience would be for me. What a lovely trek – I cannot recommend them enough. And definitely book with Nepalgram – you will not be disappointed.

I will be returning to Nepal in the future for a higher elevation trek and will, without a doubt, be booking through Nepalgram.

Arun & Snadeep – thank you for a wonderful trip and I look forward to seeing you in Himalaya in the future!

I had the chance to go on a trek with my wonderful friend/guide Arun last year, and it remains the most amazing experience of my life so far. My dream team and I went all the way up to EBC with him, and everything was just perfect.

Arun was my friend before this trek, and I can say that he’s a wonderful human being. He is kind, devoted, joyful and very smart.

As a guide, he is always looking after you, making sure everyone is doing okay. He is the one who takes care of you when you catch a cold, massages your feet when it hurts, comes and checks on you when you feel sick after a long day of hiking.

He also knows heaps about his country and its beautiful mountains and is always thrilled to tell you stories and teach you a bit of history, nature, traditions… You will definitely learn a lot if you go on a trek with thim.

During our trek, another team’s guide got sick and could not keep leading his group because their trek was much longer than ours. Arun switched places with him and led this group to the end, even though he was also getting sick because of the cold. Thanks to him, the other guide could go back to Kathmandu sooner by getting down with us.

So, if you ever want to go trekking with Arun’s company, be assured that you will be very well taken care of.

I’m telling you, this guide is a legend.

Can’t wait to go back to Nepal for a peak climbing, Arun!

We were a family group; auntie(me), niece and husband and my mum(grandmother). We hiked the Ghorepani/Poon Hill trek and we’re well looked after from our arrival into Kathmandu until the day we left. Thank you Arun and crew! I’m sure that when we signed on, 3 generations of one family, Arun Karki wondered if he would survive.

Well thank you Arun, you got my mother, Amanda’s grandmother, 85 years old to Ghorepani for the experience of a lifetime. And I stood on the top of Poon Hill to witness the sun touch the Annapurna peaks, thank you. Accommodation, food, transfers were all great as were the travel recommendations. All extra costs were disclosed so we were well prepared in advance.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide was absolutely fantastic, a wonderful and kind person who was very knowledgeable on the area and who was completely open to adapting the route. Although Poonhill trek was reasonably short it was very rewarding with beautiful views at all times and incredible landscapes and on top of that the weather was excellent. The home stays were comfortable and we especially loved the place in Ghorepani. We will most definitely be returning to do the ABC circuit next time and without a doubt we will be doing it with Nepalgram.

Arun was an amazing guide, he’s a great guy and very genuine, we had the time of our lives. Thoroughly recommend using his company. We will definitely be in touch when we decide to come back to Nepal.

We cant thank Arun enough for the most incredible couple of weeks trekking to everest base camp. Our guide for the ebc trekking was Binod, his knowledge and professionalism shone through the moment we met, which left us feeling extremely comfortable.
We couldn’t recommend Nepalgram and their services highly enough – A truly unforgettable experience!

My friend and I had a great trek around handsome Mount Everest in December 2017 with Arun. Arun himself is great guide who not only leads one to beautiful places and gives many informations about the wonderful things the Himalya offers, but also takes good care of those who trek with him and is a pleasant companion. Highly recommended!!!

Arun was one of my guides on a trek to ABC. He did an excellent job of educating me about the local culture and history of the region. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me confident that I was in good hands during the trek. Arun enabled me to have an unforgettable experience in Nepal and I would highly recommend trekking with him! Annapurna baseacamp is just wonderful trek with lots to see on top of the mountains, trekking with good guide adds by lot. I strongly recommend Arun and his team.
