Nepal Alternative Treks & Expeditions  Bewertungen 

We wanted to do a 4 day trek to the Muldai (Mulde) viewpoint since I heard it was much less crowded than Poon Hill, but Nepal Alternative Treks designed the trek so we could go to both, with different amazing views from each. Tej was very helpful in arranging it all, including coming to our hotel to meet with us, taking care of all the arrangements and permits and making a few changes we requested. Our guide, Yugal, was wonderful, very patient, good English and shared a lot of information about the mountains, Nepal and himself. He took care of all the details each day smoothly. My porter (my daughter carried her pack) was Ramesh, who was also very helpful and gracious, and both of them had a great sense of humor. Going in early January was nice being the low season, as the trails, towns and lodges were quite empty. And of the four companies I inquired with, the cost with Nepal Alternative Treks was the least expensive. All in all a wonderful experience!

I recently went on a Nepal trip with Nepal Alternatives, and it was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish.

Tej and the team were very supportive and professional throughout the planning and execution of the trip. Communication was smooth, arrangements were handled efficiently, and everything was managed with great attention to detail.

A special shout-out to our trek guide and porter, Ritika and Jatin — they were fantastic: professional, friendly, and always ready to help. They made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey, and their positive attitude added so much to the overall experience.

Everything was well-organized, smooth, and stress-free, allowing us to genuinely enjoy Nepal’s beauty without worrying about logistics.
Thank you, Tej, and the entire team for such a memorable experience! 🌄🙏

I returned to Nepal for the 12-day Everest Base Camp trekking package and once again had an excellent experience. The professionalism and personal care shown by Mr Tej, Mr Tek the guide, and Mr Santos the porter were outstanding. Throughout the New Year trek, I was very well taken care of, from logistics and safety to daily comfort on the trail. Their experience, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made this challenging trek both smooth and memorable. I highly recommend this team to anyone planning an EBC trek.

In september I was on a solo tour in Ruby Valley, exploring my interests in traditional weaving and women's rigths, conditions and possibilities in Nepal. I had an absolutely fantastic trek and visit to Ruby Valley, and especially Chalish, a small village, where I stayed for 4 days. I was veaving a Tamang man head scarf with two very skilled weavers, Rosa and her mother. I stayed at the house (home stay) of the aunt&uncle to my my female guide, Ritika. Ritika, Jamuna ans other women shared their lives, experiences and crafts with me, and I was invited into so many homes in Chalish.
The trek was individually planned with good communication and help from Mr. Tej Gurung, owner of Nepal Alternative Treks.
I am grateful for the experience and recommend Alternative Treks, if you are interested in local crafts and womens rights and work, because trekking with a female guide opens so many doors.

What an amazing trip! Alternative treks was amazing from start to finish! I had a very warm welcome at the airport and transport to my hotel in Kathmandu. The ABC trek was like a dream- so so beautiful and rewarding! My guide Krishna was absolutely great, well experienced, attentive and brought lively fun to the whole experience. If you are considering it, I’d say definitely go for it. Sunsets and sunrises in the Annapurna region is something I will cherish forever. I loved how we had plenty of down time to enjoy the beautiful scenery! I hope to come back to Nepal and do some more treks with Krishna and Alternative treks!

My friend and I did the tsum valley and manaslu circuit 17 day trek, it was incredible. I can’t recommend this company enough, our guide Thal and porter Ajay were so kind and knowledgeable, we had so much fun. Communication and organisation before and during the walk were great, we wouldn’t change anything.

We used Nepal Alternative Treks Expeditions to arrange all necessary permits, hire a guide and two porters, and organize transportation from the airport and to the trekking starting point. Communication was excellent and the value for money was outstanding. They were very flexible and truly took great care of us. Our guide and porters were incredibly helpful, kind, and friendly. We felt safe and well looked after throughout the whole experience. We highly recommend choosing this agency.

My friend and I completed a 17-day trek of the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the company was incredibly supportive—always quick to answer our questions and happy to give detailed advice on gear and preparation. The itinerary was very well structured and made the whole trek feel smooth and manageable. The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and the team was consistently kind, helpful, and professional throughout. We felt well taken care of every step of the way and couldn’t recommend this company more!

Before leaving for Nepal: Tej was incredibly reactive to our questions. He reassured us and gave excellent advice throughout the planning process.

Upon arrival: Tej came to meet us personally at our hotel to welcome us, brief us on the trip, and give us some final tips.

During the trek: Our guide, Ritika, took over and she was amazing! She took great care of us, answered all our questions, and even taught us some Nepali words. We learned so much about the local culture thanks to her. A big thank you as well to our porters, Nima and Sona!

Back in Kathmandu: We met up with Tej again so he could check in on us and get our feedback on the experience.

We have wonderful memories of this trip to Nepal. This is thanks to the adventure itself, but also thanks to Tej, Ritika and the all team, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. And it really was! :)

Thank you again!

We did the Manaslu Trek over a total of 12 days, with 10 days of hiking – and it was an unforgettable experience. The landscapes along the way were absolutely stunning: from lush valleys and remote mountain villages to snow-covered peaks, every day offered something new. The trails were not too technical, but the high altitude definitely made them challenging.

The accommodations were very simple, which is to be expected at these elevations – but that simplicity added to the authenticity of the trek. The highlight of the journey was crossing the Larke Pass at 5106 meters, a moment we’ll never forget.

A huge thank you to our guide Raj and our two porters, Yona and Amrit, who took such great care of us throughout the trek. When I got injured, they were incredibly kind and made sure I got down the mountain safely.

Overall, it was a truly amazing experience – physically demanding but deeply rewarding. If you’re looking to experience Nepal beyond the usual tourist trails, the Manaslu Circuit is an absolute must.

Nepal Alternative is family.
We have known Tej since 2017 when we had our first Annapurna Circuit organised with a guide and porter.
Since, we returned every other year for various treks through Annapurna and Everest region.
Laxman was our guide on the last two trips & he was always brilliant.
Highly recommended, they never disappoint

It was a wonderful trip with a great price–quality balance. The guides were professional, attentive, and experienced. Everything was well organized, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend it.

Since the first time we contacted Tej, during the whole trek and until the very last moment when the company's driver brought us back to the airport, we thought and we actually were in the best possible hands and we had a phantastic experience and trek !
Tej replied always immediately to all my questions and took care of everything.
And our guide Thal was so great and we were so grateful for him!
We did the Annapurna circuit with Tilicho Lake and in Ledar it started to snow. Unfortunately we (and everyone else in the mountains) had to stop and come back to Besisahar and Thal organised a jeep and accomodations not just for us, but also for another couple of another company whose guide seemed overwhelmed.
Thank you Thal for everything! And we also have to mention that both, guide and porter (Thank you Ragu!), talked in the best possible way of their company and Tej, they are working in good conditions (with insurance, good equipment, etc).
We'll come back!

Absolutnie polecam to biuro turystyczne!
Tej (właściciel) jest niesamowicie responsywny i pomocny – odpisywał błyskawicznie o każdej porze dnia i nocy, służył radą i realnie rozwiązywał każdy problem. Na nim można było polegać w 100%.
Plan trekkingu został idealnie dopasowany do naszych potrzeb i tempa, a przewodnik (Juhan) był nie tylko świetnie przygotowany, ale też bardzo troskliwy i elastyczny.
Jeśli szukacie małej, lokalnej agencji, która traktuje Was jak rodzinę, a nie jak kolejny numer – Tej i jego zespół to świetny wybór.

ENG:
Tej (the owner) is incredibly responsive and helpful – he replied instantly at any hour of the day or night, gave honest advice, and actually solved every problem before it even arose. We could rely on him 100%.
The trekking plan was perfectly tailored to our needs and pace, and our guide (Juhan) was not only extremely well-prepared but also very caring and flexible.
If you're looking for a small, local agency that treats you like family instead of just another client – Tej and his team are a fantastic choice.

Well organised trek with good communication beforehand. Flexible itinerary and excellent guide (Saroj) and porter (Ramesh). Some difficult conditions going over the pass but made much easier and safer by a good guide who had plenty of experience. Happy to use this company again.

Alternative Trekking Nepal and Mr. Tej Gurung have been thoroughly professional and dealt with our Manaslu Circuit Trek program very well. Every aspect was explained in detail. The guide assigned to us, Dilal was very energetic and had clarity on how to conduct the Trek. The team of Guide, Dilal and the porters were very courteous, helpful and smiling. They ensured all our needs were met and our queries were answered. We had a great, successful Trek and we are thankful to this team.

Was an incredible experience. The trail offered a perfect blend of breathtaking mountain scenery, diverse landscapes, and authentic cultural encounters. Each day brought new views, from lush forests and terraced fields to dramatic peaks towering above the clouds. The guides and porters were exceptional, making the journey safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Reaching base camp was unforgettable and made every step worthwhile. I highly recommend this trek and Nepal Alternative treks to anyone looking for adventure, natural beauty, and a truly rewarding challenge

I just came back from the Tsum Valley + Manaslu circuit trek with Nepal Alternative Treks & Expeditions and I had a fantastic experience. I had a good contact with Tej from the beginning and everything was well organized. My guide Krishna was the best!! He's very kind and thoughfull. I'm so glad I had to do this journey with him because he made this trek a success and we had a lot of fun together playing cards and teaching me few words of nepali. I highly recommand this company for your next trek and Krishna as your guide!

Highly recommend Nepal Alternative Trekking Company! The initial contact was professional and helpful, custom-tailoring the itinerary to our needs. Dhan our guide was very experienced and doing his work with passion - accommodating at every moment to our make sure we are enjoying our time. We felt safe and could always discuss changes to the plan. Ajay our porter was also a pleasure to trek with, he showed the same dedication to the job and making us feel taken care of - while showing us around as well as an assistant to Dhan. Tej the owner cares a lot about building a professional and honest business and collecting feedback to keeping improving their offering.
Looking forward to our next Trek with your team!

Nepal Alternative Treks have the experience for hiking in Himalaja region.
We've had a 8 days hiking trek to Poon Hill and A. B. C. and we were 100% satisfied with guide and porter.
Very friendly and helpful people. We've felt their love to the mountains.
