Client Reviews

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Nepal Pyramids guided my group through Mardi Himal and 4 viewpoints of Annapurna. The trek was led by Sunil and an amazing crew who made sure we had a fabulous time. We had great food along the way and we enjoyed some amazing views of the beautiful Himalayan mountains. Nepal Pyramids also provided guided tours of Pokhara and Katmandu. Sunil has excellent English and we always felt well looked after, with lots of laughter along the journey. I recommend this company if you are planning a trek in Nepal. Margaret Brand

We had an amazing 3 weeks trekking with our guide Arjun. The trip was exactly as described but exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Arjun’s knowledge, support, and attention to detail helped ensure we had a great time.

Had an amazing trek experience with the Nepal Pyramids team. While interacting with Sunil to plan the itinerary along with other details, he was very patient and also helped with many suggestions & tips to plan a good trek. The package is very transparent & no hidden charges are there. In fact, tips from them helped us save money on phone & internet charges.

Our guide Netra and Porter Maila assigned by Nepal Pyramids were a good fit for us. They were very patient, helpful, caring and supportive throughout the almost 3 weeks long trek Annapurna Circuit trek with Tilicho Lake Trek.

My husband had a migraine problem and the medicines given by Netra was able to help him with his migraine. In fact, Netra is very experienced guide with over 30 years of experience and has undergone multiple trainings in high-altitude medicine. We learnt a lot from him as to how small preventive steps taken help to prevent problems later. We learned a lot from Netra. His tips & experience made us confident and decided to not take Diamox throughout the trek. We were able to successfully complete the trek without Diamox & without any other issues.

The guide also helped to pace us when going from Thorong Phedi to High Camp and also from High Camp to Thorongla Pass. His pacing helped us to complete the Thorongla pass without getting exhausted & burnt out.

We are very delighted with our experience with the Nepal Pyramids and have already decided on the trek we want to do next year with them. :-)
