  • Super Friendly Travel Agency !!

    We are a group of 4 people {from France} left for Nepal. Wanting to organize our private Mardi Himal yoga trek, we found this agency on the internet which offered us exactly what we wanted. Indeed, Nirajan, the Team leader of the agency, has been listening to us and has adapted to our requirements (and it's not easy 3 women's demands !!) It was very present and answered all questions. So we finally made our trip with Rugged Trails Nepal. In short, I recommend +++++++++

  • Trip of a Lifetime

    I was looking for a new adventure when someone told me about their upcoming trip to Nepal to trek up to the Mt Everest Base Camp. The trip was 5 months away which gave me (a 64-year-old reformed couch potato) time to get into shape. After about a week of researching the idea, I decided to go hike up to Base Camp. Shortly thereafter my daughter  "Krissy" decided to join me. It turned out to be the trip of a lifetime. Rugged Trails Nepal was extremely professional and put us up in very nice accommodations each night. They dealt with a few medical issues that came up within the group in a very professional way. I would highly recommend Rugged Trails Nepal as your guide to Nepal trekking.

    Tom was with the Team Focus group, and Rugged Trails Nepal salute for your great effort and thanks for writing this sweet reviews. 

  • Perfect Mardi Himal Yoga Trek

    For our first trip to Nepal, we all wanted to organize in France (including a trek) and from the start, Nirajan was very attentive. He offered us a trek as we wanted (for 5 to 6 days in Annapurna with yoga and not too touristy! Brief required) Yoga Mardi Himal Trek. Whether preparing to travel, trek or for more general questions he always made available to meet us on site and upstream. So we also went through Rugged Trails for our visit to Chitwan Park, to rent a car for our long trips and for some sports Pokhara. Very welcome and "goodbye", I recommend this agency and the teams Nirajan knows how to find, you'll be on to appreciate even more your Nepal experience, it can not be otherwise.

    Originally she reviewed on Rugged Trails Nepal TripAdvisor in French but we translated into English to make easier for all. Be the next to join the spiritual Mardi Himal Yoga Trek. Normal Mardi Himal Trekking is also organized by Rugged Trails Nepal, connect with our team leader. 

  • Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek, Poon Hill Journey of a lifetime!

    Rugged Trails Nepal- Highly recommended, trustworthy, professional and very well organized a company, with a prompt response prior to and during the adventure. 
    Nirajan and the team make sure everyone is looked after from the moment of arrival to Kathmandu to the last day of departure, any problem is no problem and they make an outstanding effort so the trip is exciting, unique and most importantly safe. 

    My personal experience would have to leave a book behind as there are so many amazing memories to bring back…but Poon Hill (Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking) is a fantastic short trek, recommended for any fitness level walkers or trekkers including families with kids. Begin a morning in Pokhara, a relaxing city full of fancy local shops with beautiful pashminas, art, and jewelry, wake up to the first sight of Annapurna range of mountains and take a stroll by the lake with fresh lassi in your hand! As you make your way up to the mountains, feed your eyes with beautiful rhododendron forest, local villages full of humble and unique people and make sure to look behind for amazing views!

    After long, exhausting and sweaty walks with much relive of reaching Ghorepani and more effort of walking the very next morning at 4 am, from Poon Hill you will see the mind-blowing sunrise, Annapurna mountains and Fishtail striking your eyes!
    Nirajan also had helped me to organize another trek right after to Everest Base Camp and gave me great insight on how to prepare/pack since I was exploring Nepal for one month. 

    I was fortunate to join the Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek led by Indra who made sure the group was taken care of and filled with laughter, while our special Nepalese Yoga Master Krishna gave us an amazing and unique experience during the Everest trek; and a big thank you to Krishna for his breathing techniques that helped me to overcome altitude sickness!

    I must mention Dipak, my personal guide who was a professional, full of charisma and super-duper caring. I cannot thank him enough for the support he gave me during this strenuous and challenging trek. Dipak made sure I was comfortable while conquering the Everest region and together we had loads of fun while trekking to the Kalapathar and Everest Base Camp. 
    Lastly, I have booked a week of sightseeing tours and Rugged Trails Nepal made sure I saw all important cities, temples, and festivals along with a lovely guide who educated me at each and every move. Places like Patan, Durban square, and Pashupatinath Temple are a must-see to experience Nepal’s rich, unique and in-depth culture. 

    Make sure you book with this legit company to experience the best of Nepal at its finest detail! Namaste

  • Glorious moments from my time in the Himalayas!

    A few glorious moments from my time in the Himalayas! Dreams do come true 90 miles of hiking over 15 days and reaching up to 18,000 feet of elevation- this was one of the most difficult but beautiful journeys of my life. I haven't had consistent wifi/electricity for almost a month so more photos to come soon! Thank you to our amazing trail guide Aaiwa Waiba and Rugged Trails Nepal for making this journey happen and the whole team of us for pushing each other to the top (and for no one getting elevation sickness!!). Rob writes in our facebook page after completing the Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek. Rob is also an amazing fine art photographer.

  • Experience Nepal

    In September, I had the great opportunity to travel to Nepal and the great luck that this company will organize my trip. I did a Tamang Heritage Langtang trek, in which everything was excellent, from the transfer to the guide, porter ... all excellent! and of course with a personalized and unique treatment. After the trek, I was in the city with city routes, also an excellent treatment. In summary a serious company, responsible and with a personalized and unique treatment.

  • Upper Mustang Tiji Trekking with Rugged Trails Nepal

    Nirajan, Dipak, and Lalit took excellent care of me. It was an exciting and genuine adventure that exceeded my expectations. Nirajan also took great care of me before and after the trek. I would highly recommend Rugged Trails Nepal. Brain did the Upper Mustang Tiji festival trek and later on, he joins with us for a one-night homestay weekend trip.

  • Absolutely loved our experience in Nepal

    I absolutely loved our experience in Nepal. We booked an excellent 5 days trek in the Annapurna Region (Ghorepani - PoonHill) with Rugged Trails Nepal and loved every minute of it. The trip was meticulously organized by the company, with outstanding hospitality throughout our stay. Book now, you won't be disappointed!
