I enjoyed the hike every second. I chose the right trek with the right company, and my guide, Indra, got 10 out of 10. 

Namaste Nirajan. We are now back from the trek, where we had a great time. Indra was a wonderful guide, and we will definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Nepal.

The guide (Yogi) was excellent, and the view was amazing! We had only 3 days, and I feel we managed to get the Himalaya experience during these days.

The tour of Bakhtapur and hike with Dinesh were great! He is very knowledgeable and friendly, and he really took good care. The hotel was nice but too cold at night, even with the heater on, and had a light that didn’t switch off! I did tell them! My room was 108. It had the best view but was not so good with being so cold. Kapil was on time and drove me back to Kathmandu very nicely.

Thank you!, Thanks for arranging it

Great small trekking company with lots of knowledge about the area. Indra and Mekraj were great guides for our 3 passes trek for 14 days. They have done it many times before, so they know the lodges and where the great food is. We went in the off-season (Nov–Dec), so lots of lodges were very quiet and felt homely.
Most of our group used porters for some of our gear, which helped a lot during the strenuous days of the trip.
Overall, I would recommend a company like this over the bigger groups such as Intreped, as it can be altered as you go for your own pace and interests rather than a very set route and schedule.

Nepal did not disappoint! I loved this trek through the Shivapuri National Park up to Chisopani, on to Nagarkot, then to Nala. 3 days and 2 nights that get you away from the city and into the jungle. You can't beat seeing the local villages first hand to get an understanding of the resilience of the Nepalese people. Our guide and porter were brilliant, they looked after us to ensure our trip was a success. Sunrise in the Himalayas is magical.Booking was easy, even though this was a bespoke private tour. A quick message on the webchat, then Nirajan followed up on whatsapp to arrange everything. Highly recommend and will be using Rugged Trails Nepal next time we visit.

I had a great trip and we had nice clear views which am grateful for. Indra (my guide) was great, he obviously has a lot of experience, let me go my pace, and seemed to always be looking out for me. Very attentive! He was really helpful I felt very comfortable trekking with him. Very knowledgeable, keeping an eye on the view, etc so I could go out and get a good picture of that kind of thing. 

Thank you, Rugged Trails, for helping me to feel every emotion a human being has ever felt and for locating all the hiking supplies—even shoes—at the last minute in Kathmandu. Thank you, Nirajan, Indra, Harka, and all the lovely people of Nepal, for making it a perfectly organized and super-safe adventure. Thank you for putting up with all my feelings and random requests for ginger-lemon tea.
