My Friends and I trekked through Nepal for two months on trek organized by Nature Trail. They did an excellent job with our itineraries and we had an amazing time. our guide in the Annapurna region, Nir Kumar Khaling Rai, is a wonderful man and took great care of us. He was a superb cultural guide as well as a terrific trekking guide. The guys in Nature Trail are some of the most helpful and friendliest we met in Nepal Many Thanks! Brian M.

What we all expect or want from a travel agent is efficiency, flexibility, local knowledge and moreover a pleasant person with whom to deal. What we often do get can be far from that, and we pay for the privilege. Returning to Nepal recently after a gap of 38 years, to join my daughter who was finishing off her round the world trip post University, I was delighted to find one travel agent based in Kathmandu who has all these attributes, and far more. Bishnu Subedi, Managing Director of Nature Trail, runs a business which, as he advertises, caters for Travels & Tours, Trekking & Expeditions. The two of us saved much valuable holiday by giving over all our arrangements to him and it was well worth it from every angle. Not only was he charming to deal with, any slight deviation from the original plans, due to illness, was dealt with without appearing to be irksome. Every part of our trip was covered; from buses to and from towns, even to being met by car and driver to deliver us to our hotels. On trekking some of the Annapurna circuit, we were provided with a delightful young guide, Kamal, who looked after us with great equanimity. I can honestly say that it was a joy not only to have met Bishnu Subedi, but to have dealt with him on a business level. As a business person myself, I value efficiency delivered with charm, and would recommend anyone visiting Nepal to use Nature Trail. Deborah Barham Smith

It was a lovely trek, lovely sights especially in Gorepani all the Annapurna range. Our guide was very good, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our trip Our tour was very well organized from Kathmandu to Lake view Hotel in Pokhara and the whole thing was made easy for us. Our guide was excellent and could not have been kinder, more friendly and made our trip most enjoyable & memorable. The Snow View Lodge in Ghorapani was especially comfortable & served good food. Thanks most especially to our guide, ARUN SEAMUS + CATHYIRELAND

I would like to express my gratitude for the nice guidance. Especially my "private" porter guides and friend. I want to thank for his good and kindly way he protected me and looked after me. He made my trek unforgettable and I will think of him and Nepal with much love in my heart. I also thank the organization Nature Trail Trekking for the wonderful service and kind help for all our things: permits, flight-confirmation and so on. So, thank for everything! Els KasHolland

Dear bhai BishnuFor 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 mensenSinds 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).

Our trip to Nepal was only very short, but thanks to Nature Trail Trekking it was a great experience. We choose our travel agent through the www.allnepal.com and were very much attracted by the friendly, personal e-mails written by Bishnu Subedi. He answered always very quickly and found a solution to all our wishes and suggestions. It is to say that he only knew about our arrival something like 10 days before we met at Kathmandu.... Within this short time he managed to arrange a wonderful trekking tour which was exactly the kind of thing we wanted to have. We spent one week trekking through the Langtan/Helambu region and were accompanied by Bharat and Babu - two really nice guys. Bharat our guide and Babu our porter were absolutely friendly and we had a great time with a lot of laughting together. Thanks to them we got very close to the Nepalese people and culture and they were always willing to answer our questions. Everything was just wonderful and we can only recommend Nature Trail Trekking for everybody who wants to have well organised trekking tours. Bishnu, thank you for everything!

Sadly I only had 10 days in Nepal - too short I know but "Cest la ve!" To make the most of my love I decided to use an agent to organize my trekking + tickets, and was very happy that I did! I was met at the bus-stop, transported, fed - everything and with no problems for any of the organization. My guide was Surya - a very energetic young Nepalese man fluent in Japanese + English. As well as providing interesting information on places we visited + saw, he also provided me with singing, joking, insights into Nepalese life and thinking, personal points of view on various things, and endless entertainment. We started the trek as guide and client but even within the 1st day of our 3day trek, we were friends! The trek itself from- Birethani- Ghandrung- Landrung- Dhampus- Phedi was a route that provided me with a taste of what Nepal has to offer, with lovely sights of people, rice fields, and mountains and all this in what was very pleasant lengthen and terraced trekking. All in all I had a fabulous time, and have now got the Nepal bug + will definitely be back for more!! Thanks Nature Trail Trekking for an unforgettable experience!! Michael-New Zealand

Bishnu, you showed us a part of the world most people only get to dream about. We were taken by friendly, enthusiastic guides and Sherpas to remote locations that gave us amazing views of the most majestic mountains in the world. Everything you promised was delivered and the trek was the most enjoyable vacation I have ever had. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of trekking in Nepal to contact you for excellent, professional care.We enjoyed the singing and dancing each night and the delicious food prepared for us each meal. I especially liked the porridge with fresh coconut bits and the tea that was placed outside our tents each morning. I am glad you helped us decide on a tenting trek rather than a tea house or lodge trek. You were right, it was more fun as evidenced by the otherpeople who came to our tent sites for singing and dancing. I really liked the apple pie and the surprise chocolate cake on the last night. I wish you well in your enterprise (Nature Trail Trekking). Your enthusiasm and willingness to accomodate our wishes sets you apart from the ordinary 'canned' trekking company. Our guide, KP, was thoroughly knowledgeable about the trail and could always tell us how many minutes of 'up' we would have before we got some 'down'. I will always cherish the view we had from Poon Hill but I may be ready for some higher work next time. We will always remember your professional help and friendly demeanor.
