 Dear Rojesh,
Unfortunately we haven’t met each other anymore after our trek in Langtang Valley!
But I want to come back on that to confirm that everything was very well going and it was a first wonderful experience for us!!!
The beauty, the authenticity of the area, the low commerce profile.... It’s a real gem!
We want explicitly remind our guide Karma Sherpa; this guy and his brother as porter were the best of the best for us!!!
Taking care as sons for their parents, very flexible and anticipative to make that journey as an extraordinary experience. Please confirm to them our respect and grateful thanks!
In the meantime, we are back from a second trek in Pokhara, staying in Pokhara now.
These two treks make us falling in love with Nepal, his people and trekking in the Himalaya's.
So strongly that we already are thinking, this must not be the last time!
We are seriously considering coming back in the future and doing the trek to the Everest base camp.... under one condition: with your company and Karma Sherpa must be our guide!!!!
I hope, if we plan that well in advance, that you could organize this as we like?!
Our best regards, regards to Karma and thanks again and we hope to meet in the future for going to Everest!

| An Outstanding Trip through an Outstanding Team! |
|
 Our trekking trip to Nepal was organized at the last minute. Yet, Nature trail met all our expectations to the minor detail with respect to the organization of our private trek. Additionally, our guide, Gelbu, was extremely friendly and very professional.
The bottom line is that if you have high expectations for a trekking trip to Nepal and are looking for great organization and great customer service - as we did, don’t look any further. Nature Trail is the one. Its staff is truly committed to elevate your trip from great to memorable. We will not hesitate to plan our next trip with Nature Trail when the time comes.
Thank you!

Hi Rojesh,
Well I'm back in Australia and I really wanted to write to thank you so much for all your help organizing my trip. I found the service from Nature Trail outstanding from the first time I emailed. Your replies were always prompt and you helped me tailor my trip to suit my interests, budget and time constraints. The airports pick up and drop off made the trip even more convenient. I had an amazing time doing the Manaslu circuit. Ganesh was a fantastic guide, he knew so much about the culture and wildlife.
He was always thinking 10 steps ahead to make the trip as smooth and comfortable as possible. My porter Ressam also provided excellent service and both were great company. Thanks also for the extra time and consideration you showed to me on my birthday! So thank you and all the staff for making this a trip of a lifetime for me! I can't recommend Nature Trails highly enough and hope to be in touch to plan my next trip soon.
Thanks,
Cecilia

Dear Pushpa,
I just wanted to let you know that you did an amazing job planning and organizing our recent trip to Nepal and Tibet. Everything went flawless. The people we met were nice and very open to us and were easy to talk too. The scenery and various landscapes we saw were assume.
Everyone in your company from our driver Bikram to your Managing Director - Bishnu were excellent and treated us with great respect. We could not have asked for anything better. We will have no problem giving good referrals to you and your company. You all are very professional.
The last night and farewell dinner with Bishnu was the perfect way to end this most memorable trip.
Thank you again

| We had a fantastic holiday organized by Nature Trail. |
|
 Jan. 23, 2011,
We had a fantastic holiday organized by Nature Trail. As two couples in our sixties, we wanted to do the trek to the Annapurna Base Camp. We spoke to some friends who had used an international tour company, which they thought was very good, but had found a 12 day trek in a big group a little slow for them. One of our daughters had done the same trek in eight days, but believed that this might be a little too fast for us! We therefore suggested a 10 day trek to Nature Trail, who had been recommended by someone who had worked for the UK Department for International Development.
We were immediately impressed by how quickly Nature Trail responded and how flexible they were in their arrangements. Having also booked accommodation for us in Kathmandu and Chitwan, and various bus journeys, they collected us from the airport, and took us to our hotel in Kathmandu at no extra cost, and were always friendly and helpful. Our guide on the trek itself, Kami, was brilliant. He was very considerate, interesting to talk to, spoke good English, and helped to make the trek the wonderful experience that it was. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Here is a picture of three of us with Kami at the base camp. We felt very pleased with ourselves for getting there!
Thank you once again for organizing our trek in November. It was a great experience and wonderful holiday.

Dear Mr. Herzog, dear Bishnu, dear Pushpa,
Our trip was absolutely amazing! It was a great experience to visit Nepal and Tibet, to meet its nice and open people and to enjoy the great landscape and scenery. It was the best holiday we ever had and we will never forget it.
All of you contributed to make us relax, sit back and simply enjoy. You made our trip very special.
Mr. Herzog: Thanks for being there to assist with the preparations, for your useful recommendations and for patiently answering our countless questions.
Bishnu: Thanks for the perfect organization, your warm welcome and your tips and, of course, for the Nepalese night at the castle.
Pushpa: Thanks for flawless scheduling and preparation, for your tips and inside information, for picking us up and waiting for our delayed flights also. (-:
We also wanted to let you know that both our guides, Surya and Norbu, as well as our porter and driver were all very nice, helpful and professional.
So thank you all again and we hope to see you, Bishnu and Mr. Herzog, at the CMT in January!
Take care,

| Dan & I had a fantastic time and our trip to Nepal |
|
 Genuinely, Dan & I had a fantastic time and our trip to Nepal was just an amazing experience! In two weeks we managed to pack in white water rafting, a five day trek, boating, jungle safari, elephant ride, canoe trip as well as all the sites and temples!
Nature Trail organised everything brilliantly, nothing was left to chance as we were picked up by taxis at every location we went to making sure we made the most of our short time. Raghu, our guide on the trek, was simply brilliant as well - knowledgeable and funny he made up for the rain! Bishnu and his team organised everything perfectly and it was rounded off with a traditional Nepalese meal on the last night which was a great ending to our trip. Thanks guys and I’d definitely recommend you to all my friends heading to your great country!
Thanks

 Hi Pushpa,
A small note to testify how much we were pleased with our trip to Nepal. All the people involved in our trip were amazing...and very soon we became friends.
Thanks to you and Bishnu for all the organization. We really felt you were attentive to our needs. It was easy to modify our program and your proposal for last minute guided tours in Kathmandu was great.
Thanks to Ganesh, Dharma and Pasang for all their attentions during the trek. We were in good hands and felt safe... Ganesh also had a good answer for all our questions. He also made absolutely sure everything was always OK with the food (quantity and quality).
Thanks to Pawan for the tours in Kathmandu. He is a walking encyclopedia of Kathmandu (hinduism and boudhism) and answered our numerous questions. We were lucky to be in Kathmandu during Teej festival.
Finally, we will recommend Nature Trails and Tours to our friends and hope to see you again in a second trip to Nepal.

| Nature Trail is an extremely well-run company |
|
 May-June 2010
When deciding on a trekking agency from Jiri to EBC, my primary concerns were quality, cost, and peace-of-mind, and so I chose Nature Trail because of their very positive testimonials. Nature Trail is an extremely well-run company and allowed me to tailor the trip to my liking, even high up near Everest, without sacrificing any quality. The company made sure to take care of everything, from food and travel, and even arranged for drivers during my stay in Kathmandu to transport me and a guide between the temples and other sites. During the trek, they monitored our progress, periodically checking in with my guide, and I knew I was in great hands. My guide and porter, Dhruba and Dharma, were absolutely excellent team, and I feel like I got to know them on a personal level during our 22 day trek. They always remained attentive at all times, in case something happened, but also took an interest in me, and they went completely out of their way to make sure I was satisfied and comfortable at all stages of the trip. They were extremely knowledgeable about the mountains, fauna, culture, etc., and all-in-all I couldn't possibly have asked for a better guide, porter, or company. I will definitely use Nature Trail in the future, as I plan to visit Nepal again, and have recommended this company to my family and friends. Thanks for all the work that went in to making this trip truly unforgettable for me.

| A friend and I decided to make several shorter trips. |
|
 March 2010
When my husband and I decided to go to Nepal, he chose to hike the 21 day Annapurna circuit which I knew would be too long and difficult for me. A friend and I decided to make several shorter trips. I searched on the internet for a Tour company and found favorable reviews on trip advisor for Nature Trail Travel and Tours. There was also an interview with Bishnu Subedi on BootsnAll which impressed me. Bishnu is very organized, friendly and an interesting person. We chose two trips from the website, a 3 day Nagarkot/Dhulikhel hike and a trip to Chitwan National Park. Bishnu answered all my emails immediately and I was pleased with the information he gave me. Our guide’s name for the first trek was Raghu. He was very well informed, helpful and knowledgeable about the area and culture where we trekked. We were always picked up on time for all the trips we selected, the auto was in very good condition and the driver was a very safe driver. We were also pleased with the hotels. Chitwan National Park and the Parkside Hotel were also wonderful with a guide named Gopal who knew everything about the flora and fauna. My camera had fallen out of my pocket and Gopal did not give up until he found it. The last part of our trip was to Pokhara including paragliding and a hike to Ghandruk. Again our guide was Raghu. We are 69 years old and he was very watchful concerning our safety. Nature Trail is very well organized and after talking to other people, I believe that it is one of the very best companies in Nepal. We loved our visit to Nepal thanks to Nature Trail, Bishnu Subedi, Raghu, Gopal and the porters and drivers that went with us.

| You make all our plans true |

 Dear bhai Bishnu
For more than 8 years we are very close to each other and everytime we come in Nepal, our second country, we love to meet you, to discuss our plans with you and completely trust you that you make all our plans true.
Beste mensen
Sinds een 8 tal jaren kennen wij Bishnu Subedi van Nature Trail en Trekking en iedere keer weer slaagt hij erin om voor ons een geheel op maat gemaakt programma samen te stellen.
Wij hebben er problemen mee om met de reguliere touroperators een trekking aan te gaan, enerzijds omdat onze lichamelijke situatie (slechte knieen) dat niet mogelijk maakt, anderzijds omdat wij meer willen zien en genieten van de plaatsen en dorpen waar wij doorheen komen en de tijd willen en kunnen nemen om in contact te komen met de plaatselijke bevolking.
Het is heel eenvoudig. Geven de toeroperators voor een trekking 10 dagen, in overleg met Bisnu maken wij er 14 of 15 dagen van, een trekking geheel op ons eigen tempo, waarbij wij altijd de afspraak maken, lukt het niet of willen we een extra rustdag, geen probleem, dan maken wij een extra rustdag.
Tijdens de trekking, zowel in lodge als campingtrek kunnen wij in overleg met de gids ons programma aanpassen.
Dit bevalt ons bijzonder goed.
Wij streven ernaar om zo niet ieder jaar dan toch iedere 2 jaar Nepal te bezoeken, waarbij tijd genoeg vrij gemaakt wordt om onze projekten te bezoeken, waar Bishnu ons iedere keer ook weer zeer behulpzaam bij is.
Het is fijn om een contact te hebben in Kathmandu-Thamel waar wij iedere keer weer terug kunnen komen en op terug kunnen vallen.
Dank je wel kleine broer (little bhai). Pheri petaula (wij komen terug)

 Dear Mr. Herzog
In addition with our best wishes for a happy New Year we would like to thank you for the organization of the most exciting and impressive travel of our life.
Although the trekking in the unusual altitude was strong and exhausting, we enjoyed every minute within the impressive mountains – we liked the silence within the mountains, the long distances, far away from the daily business life, the various vegetation zones and the small villages – however, most of them, we loved the friendliness of the people there. And what a contrast to the dusty and noisy city of Kathmandu, where the poorness of Nepali people can be seen at every corner! Also those impressions, we will never forget again!
We are very thankful that we met you on the ITB Berlin 2008, because from the very first moment, we trust you and we felt in good hands with Nature Trail. During the Nepal trip, all Nature Trail people looked after us carefully und we felt safe all the time. Bishnu and his colleagues had always an open ear for our questions and problems and Dandi, our guide, was always flexible and prudent – please send them our congratulations and our best wishes for the year 2010. We learnt to love this country and its people from the deep of our heart and we are quite sure to visit Nepal again.
Meanwhile we excuse the delay of our feedback and we hope to see you and Bishnu again – maybe on the ITB 2010?
With our best wishes to all of Nature Trail

 Dear Bishnu and team, Namaste!
Last October I returned from my 10th visit to Nepal.
After first meeting you at the holidayfair (Vakantiebeurs) in Holland some years ago and a visit to your office in Kathmandu later that year, this was the 4th time you and your team arranged my stay, including a trekking, in Nepal. Like previous years my flight was booked in Holland by a Dutch tour operator.
This year I wanted to visit Lower Mustang again, so in spring of this year I started to mail you about my wishes.
This time I had some special wishes, I wanted to attend the Lama Dance Festival (Lakhe Nach) in Marpha and I wanted to visit the village of Lupra with its Bön monastery.
And another request to you was to have the same guide as last year, Kami Lhakpa Sherpa from Solo Khumbu.
I had a wonderful time with him on last year’s trekking and we were having e-mail contact sometimes and I already had asked him if he wanted to be my guide again this year.
As usual the e-mail contact with Nature Trail was excellent, immediate reply and great suggestions to make my stay a wonderful experience.
After arriving in Nepal I was heartily welcomed at your office and the last details of the trekking were discussed so after a few days in Kathmandu I was ready to fly to Pokhara and start the trekking.
Unfortunately the weather conditions were that bad that the flight had to be cancelled, but Nature Trail booked an extra night in Kathmandu and changed all the flights and reservations the same day. Also guide Kami was informed about the delay.
The next day I could fly to Pokhara and start the trekking.
As a representative of the Dutch-Nepalese Friendship association I was asked to do some official things in the Marpha monastery and neighboring villages, so together with the monastery, officials from Marpha and guide Kami we made a schedule in which also my wish to visit Lupra was included.
During the trip Kami was not only my guide, but also my translator (sorry that I still do not speak much Nepali after all these years), photographer and teacher. Also porter Suklal form Chairro did a great job and it was fun to be with them on the trekking.
Thanks to the suggestions of Kami I also could visit Muktinath for the second time, a wonderful experience again.
Looking back on my trip I can only say that it was great!
I want to thank you Bishnu, the office team, drivers Dipendra and Keshar and especially guide Kami for making my holiday so wonderful!
I hope to meet you all in good health next year!

 The trek itself was wonderful. The walking was tough but the views were all worth it. Poon hill at down was inspiring. The lodges & places we walked through Gove a real sense of Nepali life and we so welcoming at the end of each days trek. The service provided in terms of airport pickups and other support was absolutely spot on. Excellence all sound. The guide and the porter that we had were just fantastic and I will never forget their friendship and most of their smiles.
