  • Life Changing Everest Base Camp Trek Best Guides Around

    I was the solo woman on a trip with 9 other guys who were Iron Men and high-altitude runners and lots of other intimidating things. I went with my 65-year old dad, his Plummer, and a bunch of (it turns out) amazing guys. What an adventure! I can say without a doubt that Rugged Trails was THE BEST tour guide company to go with. I saw and heard from other people who had guides were not personable, fluent in English, or engaged. We had all that with Deepak and Nirajan and Indra AND they were fun and incredibly skilled and made us feel safe, uplifted, and entertained the whole time. You never know what you are going to get the booking with a foreign company, and we had moments of wondering what we were getting ourselves into, but from the moment we got off the plane to the moment, we had dinner together the last night everything was professional, thoughtful, and memorable. We also had some complications on our trip with illness and everyone made it safely down due to Indra's incredible connections and quick thinking. He also got us on a plane out of Lukla when it was crazy busy, which my brother had tried to do without a guide and had to stay for DAYS. I wouldn't go with anyone else but these guys again.

    Everest Base Camp 14 Days Trekking Package

  • Unforgettable Experience My Yoga Trek To The Everest Base Camp

    Doing this trek was one of my dreams, and even better with yoga. They were 18 days in good company (a small group with 8 persons) and good humor even in some difficult times in the mountains. Nirajan contacted me since I booked the trip, always listening to my questions. Our guide Indra was also very attentive and tried to always do the best for the group. The yoga teacher did what he could so that we could continue doing yoga, despite the low temperatures. The other members of the team were also very nice: the porter and of course Jeeban! The experience of this agency is truly unforgettable I hope to be able to repeat with them on another trek.

  • My team literally carried me

    Well, folks, I would say I did a very good job for my age. It was really not easy but my guide and the porter was undoubtedly amazing. Thank you bipin for carrying my all stuff and encouraging. I almost felt like i am going to quit while walking up to Namche on the second day but my team literally carried me. Blindly and confidently recommend rugged trails team. Nirajan is so kind and replied my all questions and always on time. I am happy i did reach up to the view point and not happy that i couldn't think myself up to Everest Base Camp. 
    Well organized and very professional! 

  • Mardi Himal Yoga Trek best yoga trek ever!

    We were in small groups of friend and were looking for a short yoga retreat in Nepal. All we were looking for is a peaceful mountain and the place where we can meditate. We were confused which trip to choose because of too many yoga trek packages for the same area and somewhere longer too. Rugged Trails Nepal Everest Yoga trek video was impressive and we started talking with Nirajan. I felt like right on the spot with the right person, he immediately suggest us for Mardi Himal Yoga Trek. From the beginning, he was friendly and sharing all the information which were really helpful. He sends us plenty of pictures of Mardi Trek routes to make sure the place is beautiful and peaceful. All of us were so excited after seeing the pictures and the way he was explaining the place. He was so easy and available all the time and happily answered hundreds of our silly questions. Thank you Nirajan! 

    I actually like the trip plan because Mardi Himal trek route is soo mixed with different terrain and the climate. Amazing mountains and peaceful walk. The distance of tea houses was no longer than 4-5 hours which was another beautiful part of this trip. We had enough time for Morning yoga, meditation, and laughter time. Seriously the team of Nirajan was just amazing, Dipak was funny and giving a smile even he is was tired. Surojan was perfect yoga master thank you Surojan. Singing dancing and drinking with porters was another memorial part of this trip which we will never forget. All of us were quite anxious because a group of girls and all the staffs were boys but Nirajan assure about the safety and he promised to treat us family members. He welcomed us and gave us comfort before heading to the mountains. He is so kind and caretaker and making sure everything is good. Nirajan keep up your good spirits, you have a great team. We will be back again for sure!

    Little suggestion please try to change one day plan instead of staying in Low Camp Badal danda is more suitable and the view is just amazing. People will love this place. 

  • Great Yoga Trek to Mardi Himal

    Really a good trip, well organized on such a short notice from us. Had lots of fun, meet great people. Learned some yoga and breathing exercise, learned lots about the culture. Surjon did great, gave us lots of information. Organized all food and accommodation, yoga was amazing, had good laughs with him. Weather was cloudy most days, clear in the morning and awesome in the morning at the highest point (Mardi Upper ViewPoint). I would suggest Rugged Trails Nepal to make a paper copy of the itinerary with the guide. I just like to know but had no internet in the mountains to check online. An extra night at High Camp would be great, just in case if the weather gets cloudy. Surjon is a super fast walker!, couldn't quite keep up with him when he was at the front. 

  • Great idea to combine Mardi Trek with Yoga

    Mardi Himal very clear in the morning/ to get the view at viewpoint had to go early but was worth it!. Surojan very great yoga instructor and knowledgable about the History, traditions of the Nepalese. Made a fun experience. Meet a lot of great people, was a great view from the top. Very rewarding experience the Yoga part of the trek was possibly my highlight on a clear morning in the Mountains. Many fellow hikers were also very interested in the idea of a Yoga Trek!

    Suggesation: One of the days from Mid Camp to high camp was quite short (2hrs). Perhaps could have done this from the Forest camp which would give us an extra day near the top. 

  • Top Notch Mardi Himal Trek

    Extremely well organised. Nirajan made everything super easy and was an absolute gent. Depak and Jivan (our guide and porter) were very caring, knowledgeable and great company. The trek was amazing and made better by the experienced recommendations of Nirajan and Depak. Would definitely recommend. Cheers, Rugged Trails!!

    Originally, Hayley and Paul had booked for Machhapuchhre Model Trek but later changed their mind for Mardi Himal Yoga Trek itinerary trip plan.  This review was copied from Tripadvisor. 

  • Great way to get out from Dusty Kathmandu.

    Nagarkot is a nice place to get the fresh air. Weather wasn't good but the guide made a day with his funny jokes. Price was expensive but worthy.
    His English was fluent and very knowledgeable about cultures. Before doing Nagarkot i had booked dhampus hike with another company and price was less but guide barely speaks English. Don't roam around these guys are best in the town!
