  1. Ghorepani-Poonhill Trek
    I have just finished doing a trek with a friend up to Poonhill and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I cannot recommend Nepal Eco Adventure highly enough. The hike was the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. We stopped in local guesthouses and our guide Ram made sure we were always comfortable and had great views too. From the beginning Chhatra was so helpful in helping us organise the trek and make the most of our time here. Ram was our guide and was incredible. He was so informative and fun, and so caring. I got unwell on our final night due to altitude and he was so kind and caring towards me and knew exactly what to do. Amir was our porter and was really lovely too, always smily and helped us out whenever he could. If I come back to Nepal there’s no doubt that I would use Nepal Eco Adventure again.
  2. Ghorepani-Poonhill Trek
    Nous sommes partis en couple à la fin du mois d'avril 2017 et avons effectué le circuit Ghorepani-Poonhill. Nous n'avions jamais fait de trek de notre vie et nous avons adoré cette première expérience. Les paysages étaient magnifiques, encore mieux que ce que l'on avait imaginé. En ce qui concerne Nepal Eco Adventure, nous n'avons eu à nous inquiéter de rien durant le voyage. Au delà de l'organisation très professionnelle, ce sont des petits détails qui ont fait la différence : à Ghorepani par exemple, notre guide Arun s'est arrangé pour changer notre chambre à la lodge pour que nous ayons une meilleure vue des montagnes. Notre guide Arun nous donnait plein d'informations sur la région, la culture et l'environnement. Au final, nous n'avions pas beaucoup de temps (8 jours) mais nous aimerions revenir au Népal pour faire un trek plus long car le pays, ses habitants et ses montagnes nous sont restés sous la peau. Merci à Nepal Eco Adventure, Arun et Lakpa pour cette expérience inoubliable.
  3. Ghorepani-Poonhill Trek
    In the mat of the car that was driving us around it was written "anything is possible". I found it very pertinent as I felt it is the attitude of everyone at Nepal Eco tours. With very knowledgeable guides like RaJu who would take us to special places to get better or unique experiences and/or buy our trinkets directly from the makers to our driver Shreehari who made being stuck in traffic a lot of fun and navigating through the chaotic streets a breeze. Not to forget Chhatra who is always very responsive and organized and was super flexible and helpful with our endless queries. And lastly but not least our amazing mountain guide Kumar that always made sure we were looked after and stayed at the best tea houses not to mention his patience with our endless queries "are we there yet?". I cannot recommend them enough and will for sure be back to Nepal with them for more adventures.
