Ram is the Guide to be - I had the most incredible 12-day trek with Nepal Alternative Trek, thanks to my amazing guide, Ram. Despite the odds—altitude sickness, freezing winter conditions, and grueling ascents—Ram’s positivity and jolly personality kept me going. His unwavering encouragement and infectious energy made the journey not just possible but thoroughly enjoyable. If you love dancing and good vibes along the trail, Ram is the guide you need. We clicked instantly, and I can’t wait for my next adventure with him—Manaslu, here we come!

First trek was an amazing experience! - This was first time in Nepal and my first trek. Our guide Nauser and two porters Ram and Raju made this experience super smooth and enjoyable. Our guide was super knowledgeable and took great care of us. Tej had a great plan for our trek and was extremely accommodating to anything along the way. Would 100% work with them again.

Trekking Annapurna Circuit (December 2024) - Our Annapurna Circuit trek with Nepal Alternative Treks was excellent. The scenery was stunning, and the experience was incredibly rewarding. Thanks to the well-organized trip provided by Nepal Alternative Treks, we were able to experience many aspects of the local culture along with the natural beauty of the area. Our guide, Nauser, was knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. He ensured our safety and provided valuable insights into the region. Our porters, Raju and Ram, were incredibly helpful and positive, adding to the overall positive experience. They were vital to our success and comfort on the trail. They are all stand-outs! We highly recommend Nepal Alternative Treks. They provided a well-planned and executed trek, with a great team that made the experience memorable. Tej, the leader and organizer of Nepal Alternative Treks, was organized, supportive, and knowledgeable. He has assembled a wonderful team that helped make our experience so memorable. Nauser, Raju, and Ram were instrumental in making our Annapurna Circuit trek a success. We appreciate all of their dedication and professionalism. If you're planning a trek in Nepal, Nepal Alternative Treks is an awesome company and excellent choice for helping to plan and execute a great trip. This is our 2nd trek with them and won't be out last!

Wonderful trekking with professional and friendly guide and porter - Fantastic trekking, first of all because of the beautiful surroundings and beautiful views. In addition, guide Sanjay and porter Surya have completed this trek for us. Guide Sanjay has thought along with us enormously and provided customization in the route, allowing the flexibility we needed. Porter Surya then ran the longer and more challenging stages without any problems, for which respect. In addition, Sanjay has made efforts to arrange comfortable guesthouse and rooms for us and has made efforts to ensure that we lacked nothing. His knowledge of the environment and culture were of added value and both Sanjay and Surya were nice company during the trekking, both very friendly and professional!

Annapurna circuit - I would like to share a great experience with our guide Soroj who guided us on our trek around Annapurna. He was extremely helpful from the first moment - he organized everything perfectly, was always ready to help and took care of every detail we needed to address. His helpfulness and friendliness were exceptional, as was his kind attitude and ability to handle any situation. Thanks to him the whole trek went smoothly, without a single hitch. In addition, he went above and beyond the call of duty, helping us in situations where he didn't have to. We would happily recommend his services to anyone going to Nepal and looking for a guide who can be relied upon in all respects. And, of course, we would enthusiastically recommend his services to our friends and acquaintances who are heading to Nepal.

Fantastic! - I went alone to Nepal and I do not regret! I called the agency Alternative Trecks, arriving on site everything was very well organized. Tej the Agency Director is a great professional, very serious and friendly. I was lucky enough to leave with a great Kiran Mountain Guide, without whom this adventure would not have been possible. I keep from this experience in the Himalayas, an extraordinary adventure, both by the challenge (7 days ascent to Annapurna Base Camp 4130m), the beauty of the Himalayan landscapes, the kindness of Nepalese, the beautiful encounters every night around the fire, my Guide with little care, the refuges very well chosen by the agency Alternative Trecks, with sometimes a breathtaking view of Annapurna. I recommend 100% the agency Alternative Trecks, which I will definitely contact again, if I return to Nepal one day;o)

Great Experience! Highly Recommend! - The experience was amazing! Annapurna is a beautiful and rugged place! We had a great experience with Nepal Alternative, and felt safe and accommodated the whole time. They know what they are doing, and work hard to make it a great trek! I’d never been to Nepal nor even Asia, and I was able to have a great time despite this lack of experience. Highly recommend!
