This is my 3rd time visiting Nepal. I had always been very thankful to get to know Mr. Kul from Alliance Treks right from the beginning I landed in Nepal for the 1st time (which was about 10 years ago).
I fell in love to do trekking in Nepal, as Mr. Kul is always there to ensure our well being and safety.
Mr. Kul is very active and committed to mountaineering events not only in Nepal, but also in other part of the world. He is always there to train up the new generation to become a good quality guide with knowledge and commitment to the tourist.
Every step of my experience with Alliance Trek was top notch and they took care of even the smallest details thoroughly.
My initial contact was with Kishor, who answered my thousands of questions with clarity and patience. He was our touch point throughout the entire experience from the moment I asked my first question until the day he sent a car to pick us up and take us to the airport to go home. I knew if we had any questions or issues all we had to do was give him a quick call and he would take care of it.
Our guide, Riddhi, was so careful and thorough that we really didn’t have any issues at all. Not only did he guide us safely through a very rigorous trek to Everest Base Camp, but he used his knowledge as an international mountain leader to educate us about all the trees and flowers and wildlife we encountered on the way, which really took the experience to the next level.
His pacing was completely customized to our abilities and I think was the only reason I made it.
I would recommend this company to anyone who is doing a Trek in Nepal because I know that you’ll get a warm, welcoming, and personalized experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Excellent guide, very good accomodation in Kathmandu and on Everest Base Camp track, very flexible organization fitting to our acclimatization needs. And very good food.
