- Grace Linda PoggiAustralia,October 31, 2024Customer & safety focussed; Cost effective home grown company offering flexible small group itineraries
Just finished my 3rd trekking trip with Nepal Pyramids. Two others in our group of four people were doing their 5th and 6th trek with them. Their customer and safety focus is truly outstanding. This is a home grown company, so no international third party - the trekking fees therefore go directly into supporting the local community. The trekking costs are pretty much all inclusive so no surprises. Flexible small group itineraries are a huge benefit with Nepal Pyramids. They will enable a group of two or more people to customise an itinerary and select their dates of travel. Most importantly, Nepal Pyramids place customer experience and safety first. We will definitely be booking another trek with them.
- Alan MichaelAustralia,October 29, 2024Professional, caring and sincere.
This was my first time in Nepal and I was travelling with my partner and two others. My partner and the two other travellers know each other and have been to Nepal previously ( several times). The Nepal Pyramids team were outstanding from the moment I was met at the airport to the time they dropped me back there. No detail of the trek was left to chance, and the guides and porters went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. I can honestly say that in the first few days of the trek we became a group of eight friends trekking together rather than four staff and four clients. The expert knowledge and experience of our guide was apparent everyday, and when the weather gods tested us with adversity our guides found a way to make us safe, warm and dry. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nepal Pyramids to family and friends.

We are group of five. It's our second hike in Nepal and the first time with Nepal Pyramid. From the inquiry phase till the last day of the trip, everything went smoothly and pleasantly. Sunil at the company has had decades of experience and handled everything professionally without fuss - planning, organizing, and being flexible according to our requests. The gears prepared in advance were high-quality and well-maintained, and the tea houses they brought us were very lovely. And most importantly, our guides were caring and paid attention to our paces and conditions all the time. We loved every bit of our trip. It couldn't be any trip. We'd definitely book them again for our next trip in Nepal.
- Andrea and StephenUnited Kingdom,June 12, 2024We could not have hoped for a better trekking experience
Sunil organised two amazing treks for us (one to Tsum Valley, Manaslu, Annapurna and Upper Mustang and the second one the Tamang Heritage Trail, Langtang Valley and Gosainkund).
He immediately understood what we wanted to do and was quick to respond. The guides and porters were very professional and looked after us very well.
Overall, our treks far exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate in using Nepal Pyramids in the future.
Thank you Sunil and the rest of the team! - Thor Kevin HolmgrenSweden,May 28, 2024Goyko Lakes - EBC - Island Peak
Hi!
We can highly recommend Nepal Pyramids Trekking & Climbing, from our first contact via e-mail until the day of departure. We feel that we received good service and support throughout the journey and that those involved were very helpful/accommodating and looked after our needs. We made a combined trekking/climbing trip for 25 days.
Cheers! - Julliette PetrieUnited Kingdom,March 10, 2024Mardi Himal Viewpoint Trek
This was my third trek with Nepal Pyramids and again all elements were outstanding. During the planning of the trip all questions were answered promptly, and Sunil adapted the trip to give us an amazing trek on newly opened paths.
The equipment provided was all of an excellent quality with the sleeping bag and down jacket keeping me warm.
Sunil and Pemba looked after us brilliantly on the trek and paced the walking so even the challenging parts were enjoyable and we enjoyed incredible views.
Thank you for another great trek.
I highly recommend Nepal Pyramids. - SylviaAustralia,October 23, 2023Get Ready to Ja aum
I traveled in Nepal with a group of 5 friends, mature but fit women. We had booked with Nepal Pyramids as one of our party had traveled with them on a previous trip. We trekked the Mardi Himal, and 4 Annapurna Viewpoints (Annapurna - Dhaulagiri trek) ending at Mohare Danda down to Ulleri. The pre-travel information, dates, meeting points, pick-ups, and transfers were all on time. The travel arrangements throughout our trip were organized and efficient. The equipment provided (sleeping bags, jackets, bags, maps) were all top quality. The points of difference with Nepal Pyramids were the personal touches and the wonderful personnel. On arrival, we were met at the airport with marigold garlands, and on departure, we were accompanied to the airport and draped with silk scarves for safe travel. Expectations were discussed at the initial briefing, guidelines were set. We were introduced to our assistant guide, Jai, and tour guide, Sunil Gurung. They set the pace, they were the ‘markers’ at the front and back of our group. We could spread out as far as we wanted in between our ‘markers’. At the first briefing, we learned an important phrase, ‘ja aum’ pronounced ‘shjum’ meaning ‘let’s go’. When our assistant guide Jai said ‘ja aum’ we shjummed! We adopted this phrase and had lots of fun motivating ourselves whenever we needed to move on from a rest stop or chat along the path. The trails and sites along the treks we did were majestic (mountain views), magical (forest walks), beautiful (meadow walks), picturesque (villages and terraces), and breathtaking (ridges). There were a lot of stairs! The aspects that lifted this trek were the spontaneous extras that Sunil and his team created and facilitated along the way. Alfresco breakfasts and lunches in courtyards of tea houses when the sun was shining; cooking our own Tibetan, Gurung or Pun bread; joining us in yoga on a mountain top at sunrise; seeing yaks on a mountain ridge, and walking up with us to see them up close and talk to the shepherds; putting us on a local bus to visit Bindhyabasini Temple at the beginning of Dashain; letting us choose the type of boat we traveled in across Phewa Lake; an extra afternoon walk to 360-degree viewpoint at Kopra Ridge.The vistas during the trek were magnificent and the extra experiences during the trek made it memorable. Sunil, Jai, Pemba, Dawa and MingMa made our trek so enjoyable, they were friendly, happy, patient, and ever-vigilant. They were fonts of knowledge and answered millions of questions on politics, socio-economics, religions, geography (lots of mountain naming), geology, cultures, and flora and fauna, along with their own personal stories that we found so compelling. We received realistic briefings each evening about what to expect the following day. These briefings were also a source of fun as we teased and challenged Sunil about the true nature of the walks he had in store for us. We learned another phrase, ‘Nepali flat’. There is no such thing as a flat walk in the foothills of the Himalayas so I will leave the meaning of that phrase up to your imagination! This trek with Nepal Pyramids has been a true adventure and a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Sunil and his passionate team for any trek in Nepal.
- susanAustralia,October 18, 2023Fab five on 14 day trek with Nepal Pyramids team
Nepal Pyramids, led by Sunil Gurung & supported by his marvelous team of assistant guides, Jai & porters Pemba, Dawaa & Mingma, were the backbone of our fantastic 14-day trek to Mardi Himal & four viewpoints via the Annapurna & Dhaulagiri trail & Mohare Dada trails - off the beaten track routes through stunning enchanted forests, over high, alpine-like meadows & down lush terraced valleys. We stayed in picturesque village tea houses & remote community lodges all full of atmosphere & charm & always warmly welcomed by local owners & caretakers. We were blown away by the variety & quality of the food which was prepared fresh for each meal. Highly recommend the Tibetan or Pun bread, garlic soup, pancakes, versions of fried rice & omelets, the ever-delicious Dahl Baht & endless cups of fresh lemon & ginger or mint tea. We were blessed with stunning views of the Annapurna & Dhaulagiri mastiffs - serene & surreal experiences. We were in awe of the majesty & drama of their sunrise reveals & enthralled by their mellifluous presence during our daily walks. Each day brought new & delightful highlights - a yak herd encounter, a spontaneous sunrise yoga session, bubbling streams, cheeky monkeys, roaring waterfalls, delicate meadow flowers, magnificent valley views, and alfresco meals on sun-drenched terraces; all made possible by our enthusiastic & highly knowledgeable guide, Sunil. We cannot recommend this Nepali company highly enough. There is no substitute for their authenticity, local knowledge & expertise.
