Client Reviews

Highly Recommend Trekking Tour Company

Tahmasebi,Iran (Islamic Republic of)

Welcome Nepal Treks were outstanding from first contact to the end of the trek. We did Ghorepani Poonhill trekking and Pokhara city sightseeing day tour with this company. Very efficient service and there is no delay to pick me up from my waiting point. The guides and porters were lovely and knowledgeable and our experience in Nepal was amazing. I highly recommend Welcome Nepal Treks to any operators looking for in country partners or any travelers looking to explore the wonder that is Nepal

Best Service, Reliable price and highly recommended!

Sowmi,India

This year I did my first trekking in Nepal which is Ghorepani poonhill trekking. Hari Khadka the friendly Owner of Welcome Nepal Treks, gave a very clear explanation about this trip. Like what I could expect to see and encounter on the trek and also advised me what to bring, what to do which I really appreciated. My guide Rabindra Tamang he was simply the best and honest. He was great fun to do the trekking with, knew a lot about everything we encountered during the
trek, and was very polite and helpful. He always arranged nice rooms in the guesthouses. Even the price was very reasonable and the best out of the other few agency. Overall my trekking was wonderful and memorable in near future I'll do more trekking in Nepal and will definitely trek with this company again!

Wonderful Ghorepani, Poonhill Trek

Tina,United States

My son and I have just returned from a great trekking trip organised by Welcome Nepal Treks. Our guide Dipak was knowledgeable, supportive and very interesting. Thanks to the company and our guide for a great experience, from Tina and Benjamin.

Ghorepani Poonhill Trek was great experiance

Santi,Malaysia

From first contact Hari was a pleasure to work with and organized everything very efficiently for us. I contacted a few companies in Kathmandu before our first trip to Nepal and Hari was able to give us the itinerary that we wanted (and suggested a few alterations to make it more efficient) at a price that we were comfortable with. He met us upon arrival at the airport in Kathmandu and outlined everything in detail with us so that we didn't have any surprises as far as what was included or not. By far, the highlight of our trip was our 7 day Ghorepani/Poon Hill trek. Our guide, Rabindra, was amazing offering alternate routes while we were trekking in order to get the most out of our time. I would not hesitate to recommend Hari and Rabindra to
anyone travelling to Nepal, and will definitely be contacting him again for our next trip to the area. We would have no hesitation recommending Welcome Nepal Treks to others, and we will use them again when we return.

Poon hill trekking

Rangsikarn,Thailand

I got recommended from my friend who has been trekking in Nepal for 3 times with Welcome Nepal Treks. I had no hesitation to try the service and the result was superb! It was my first time trekking for me, my husband and my son. We were so new to this experience and Hari was amazing tour guide. He took care of everything from the airport and along side while we were trekking until the last day we are in Nepal. I’ll definitely use Welcome Nepal treks for the next time soon.
