The Nar Phu Valley Trek is one of the most enticing and pristine off the beaten trekking destination of Nepal. The journey offers an unparalleled experience of those trekkers who seek an authentic Himalayan adventure. There are two villages on the outskirts of the Annapurna Circuit Trek route nestled in the Manang District of Nepal’s Annapurna region. The trekking journey takes trekkers to some of the most splendid and diverse landscapes, including century old Tibetan villages, alpine vegetation, and high altitude mountain passes. These villages are untouched hidden gems of Nepal. Therefore, Nepal Government has kept this trip as one of the restricted trekking trails of Nepal.
The trekking trip of the Nar Phu Vallley Trek is one of the challenging and rewarding trips that typically take around 12 to 15 days to complete. The trek covers about 151 kilometers with the highest altitude place being the Kang la Pass which is at an altitude of 5322 m. The trek is an ideal choice for trekkers with previous experience of trekking in the high altitude places with certain level of physical fitness level. The looping trekking connects two iconic unique villages Nar and Phu where trekkers can knit the best untouched trekking memories!
There are some restricted regions inside Nepal. The unique culture, natural heritages, and global political aspects are major reasons behind keeping these places as the restricted regions. Nar Phu Valley is a restricted region of Nepal which means trekkers have to obtain special restricted area permit to do any kinds of trekking activities. This is the best rule that helps the region to ensure that the local culture and environment never get spoiled or ruined by the effects of mass tourism.
The trip begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar. Please remember that this particular activity is similar while doing the Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal. From Besisahar, trekkers head towards the village of Kyoto which is the major entrance village towards the hidden village of Nar and Phu Valley. Along the way, the trip takes trekkers through green lush forests of rhododendron, pine, and oak. Moreover, the trail encompasses picturesque villages, terraced farmlands, towering snowy mountains, Glacier Rivers, and gigantic cliffs!
Among two restricted villages in the region, Nar is one of them and offers trekkers’ a strong connection with the Tibetan culture residing in Nepal. The village is home to a predominantly Tibetan Buddhists community that has maintained its traditional way of life for centuries by following the traditional roots and bypassing the modern advances of life. The village settlement architecture of Nar Village resembles to that of rural Tibet with clustered stone houses, prayer flags, chortens, mane walls, and monasteries.
The Nar people are known exceptionally for their hospitality and great dedication towards their century old traditions and culture. While trekking inside the village, trekkers can interact with people and known about their daily lifestyle. The local economy is largely dependent on animal husbandry, trade, and agriculture. The outsider’s advancement and modern inventions don’t affect the lifestyle of people of Nar Village.
The second village in the Nar Phu Valley region, the village is more isolated and remote than Nar Village. Therefore, you can find more serene and authentic high altitude Tibetan lifestyle and culture while roaming around the village of Phu. Trekkers traverse through the trail that is still untouched, and less explored with full of serenity as well as pure natural wilderness feeling. There are narrow gorges, high altitude grassy meadows and splendid landscape scenery in the section between these two villages.
Do you know that you will feel as if time has stopped and remained stand still, and trekkers often feel as though they have entered a new dimension inside this universe? The village is home to a small but vibrant ommunity of Tibetan people who prefer to live their life peacefully following their own traditions and rituas. The monasteries present inside the village endows great scenery of surrounding mountains as well as show you the great religious as well as cultural lifestyle of Phu Village people.
The journey of Nar Phu valley Trek is not for those who don’t dare to challenge themselves. It is an ideal trekking trip for travelers who choose to gain wilderness adventure. They must be prepared for significant altitude gains while trekking in the challenging terrain. The most difficult walking portion during the Nar Phu Valley Trekking in Nepal is when they have to cross the iconic Kang La Pass (5322 m). Crossing this mountain pass requires you to be in proper physical fitness schedule.
On clear days of spring and autumn season, trekkers are treated to splendid scenery of some of the towering snowy peaks in the Himalayas. The scenery includes gorgeous scenery of mountains like Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, and Himlung. While descending down from Kang la Pass you can get the dramatic scenery of surrounding landscape mixed with glaciers, rugged peaks and deep valleys. The final trip after crossing the pass is the Ngawal village.
From this village, trekkers can trek straight towards the Annapurna Circuit Trek route. Once you have reached the circuit Trek route, you can continue journey of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Some of the trekkers prefer to do the Nar Phu Valley Trek only!
The Nar Phu Valley is not only a haven for trekkers but also for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. The region is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, much of which is adapted to the harsh conditions of the high Himalayas. The valley’s lower reaches are covered with lush forests of rhododendron, pine, and oak, while the higher altitudes are dominated by alpine meadows and rugged mountain terrain.
Wildlife in the region includes species such as the Himalayan tahr, blue sheep, musk deer, and various species of pheasants. The area is also home to several bird species, including the elusive Himalayan griffon vulture. The isolation of the valley has helped preserve its natural beauty, and trekkers are often treated to sightings of wildlife as they make their way through the area.
As the Nar Phu Valley is a restricted area, trekkers must obtain a special permit to enter. This permit is issued by the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu and is typically arranged through a licensed trekking agency. In addition to the restricted area permit, trekkers will need a TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card. However, TIMS permit is not in use nowadays but it may even start someday! So, it is good to know this information!
The trek is considered to be physically demanding, with several days of steep ascents and high-altitude hiking. It is crucial for trekkers to be well-prepared, physically fit, and accustomed to trekking at high altitudes. Acclimatization days are an essential part of the trek, and trekkers should take time to rest and adjust to the altitude to minimize the risk of altitude sickness.
Book the Nar Phu Valley Trek package in Nepal and explore Nepal’s one of the best restricted trekking region. These two villages of the Annapurna region of Nepal show the authentic understanding of Tibetan Buddhists people living in the Himalayan region of Nepal. Apart from natural wonders, the journey also teaches people the great insights about culture and traditions of Tibetan origin people living in Nepal for century long!

Overall, the Nar Phu Valley Trek is the mythical and mystical restricted region’s trekking trip that showcases the unique traditional Tibetan culture and mesmerizing Himalayas of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
At an altitude of 4200 m, the Nar Village is located in the Manang district of Nepal. The people living in the village are called as Nar people who still follow ancient Tibetan culture. The majority of the people living in this village do the animal husbandry. Nowadays, they are into the trekking business as well operating various local tea houses as the number of trekkers trekking region is increasing rapidly. Trekkers can get the splendid scenery of mountains like Annapurna II, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak.
The Phu village (4000 m) is situated in the hillside and there are few clustered houses where small population of traditional Tibetan people reside. There are many ancient monasteries and historical stupas in the village. The village mainly rears animals and do farming. It is the hidden gem of the Annapurna region of Nepal. Trekkers can relish the splendid scenery of mountains from Annapurna range and Dhaulagiri range while staying in the village.
The best time to do the Nar Phu Valley Trek in Nepal is during the spring and autumn season. In these times of the year, the people of these two villages are found in the village otherwise they set out either to rear animals or to avoid the harsh climatic conditions. If you want to have the best experiences of landscape, Himalayas, and culture of the areas then do the trek in the months March, April, May, September, October, and November. Moreover, you need to think about the best time to do trek in the low altitude places before reaching the Nar Phu villages along with the best time to explore the Nar Phu village.
The Nar Phu Valley is one of the major restricted regions of Nepal. Most of the areas bordering Tibet the autonomous region of People’s Republic of China are listed under the restricted regions of Nepal. It is to preserve the unique landscape, vegetation, wildlife, culture, and traditions of the region intact. These places are hidden gems of Nepal. You need restricted area permit issued by the immigration department of Nepal Government. You are not allowed to trek solo and you must have a group consisting of at least 2 trekkers. A trekking guide assigned by Nepal Government licensed trekking agency is mandatory.
The cost of Special Restricted Area Permit for Nar Phu Valley Trek is 100 $ per person for 10 Days and additional 15 $ per person per day beyond 10 days. This is the cost of the permit if you trek in the spring and autumn season. For winter season, the cost is 75 $ per person for 10 days and additional 10 $ per person per day beyond 10 days. Besides special restricted area permit, you must get the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit. ACAP permit costs Nepalese currency 3000 per person.
You need good level of physical fitness to do the Nar Phu Valley Trek. There are fairly few steep uphill and downhill sections in this trekking trip. However, high altitude places make it hard for the trekkers to successfully trek through the trail. You will have to walk for about 6 to 7 hours daily in the remote off the beaten trails. Therefore, you must have good cardio – vascular abilities as well as physical fitness level.
Having a prior trekking experience is very helpful for the successful trekking trip. However, you don’t need any kinds of trekking experiences to do the Nar Phu Valley Trek in Nepal. Like mentioned in the previous question, a person with good physical fitness level can easily complete the Nar Phu Valley Trek.
In the low altitude places like Jagat, Ngawal, Manang, and Muktinath, you can find good choices of tea houses and eateries.

The risks of altitude sickness are fairly moderate during the Nar Phu Valley Trek. This doesn’t mean that you may not get the altitude sickness. We will be trekking above the 3000 m altitude for most of the days during the trekking. Therefore, you need to take care of the possibility of the altitude sickness.

It must be included in the travel insurance that you buy before embarking on this remarkable journey.
The starting point of the Nar Phu Valley Trek is similar to that of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. You can start the trek either from Jagat Village or Koto Village.
You can complete the exclusive Nar Phu Valley Trek in about 10 days only. It is also called as the Nar Phu Valley Short Trek but our Nar Phu Valley Trek consists of trekking in the Annapurna Circuit Trek as well. Therefore, it takes about 19 days to complete the trekking course.
The Nar Phu Valley Trek route is in the vicinity of the Annapurna Circuit Trek route. Therefore, it is possible to add the Annapurna Circuit Trek itinerary with Nar Phu Valley Trek. In fact, you can find the similar itinerary in this package too. Trekkers have to cross the Kang La Pass to reach Ngawal and meet the Annapurna Circuit Trek route. They can continue their circuit trek journey from here onwards.
Yes, Tilicho Lake is possible to reach during the Nar Phu Valley Trek but you need to add at least 3 days extra. It costs more. Upon crossing the Kang La Pass, trekkers reach the Ngawal Village. From this village, you can reach the Manang Village and start the trek to reach the Tilicho Lake.

I hired this agency to do the Everest Three Passes Trek in the Everest region, and my experience was exceptional. From the very beginning, they demonstrated commitment and professionalism in every detail of the journey.
The service standard was very high, showing absolute loyalty to their clients, always prioritizing my safety and satisfaction. The team had extensive technical knowledge for trekking in challenging and difficult terrains, which was key to enjoying the trek with confidence.
In addition, the guide, Veer Garung, was not only an expert in the biodiversity of the region but also knew the names of the mountains in Nepali, Sherpa, and English, which greatly enriched my experience. His understanding of the local flora and fauna was impressive, adding unique value to the trip.
The agency has certified guides with vast experience and equipped with everything necessary to ensure a safe and comfortable trekking experience. Guide Veer Garung speaks four languages fluently, which facilitated communication and demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism.
It is also worth noting that the agency’s owner, Rabin Garung, has solid prior experience as a guide, which is reflected in the quality of service and attention to detail. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency, especially guide Veer Garung, to anyone seeking an authentic and professional experience in the Himalayas. Without him, my experience would not have been the same, not only because of his services but also because of his warmth and attention to detail at every moment.
Sonya and I (school friends from the UK) cannot rate this trekking company highly enough. They are a family business with Rabin at the helm. They come from a small village west of the Langtang Valley and are very experienced. Rabin was so responsive and helpful, answering all our questions. He makes sure that you are well cared for throughout your trip.
Our guide was Veer (Rabin’s nephew). He was the kindest, most respectful gentleman, I have had the pleasure of knowing. He always had a big smile and looked after our every need.
Our porter was Michael (Veer’s cousin). The relationship between them was lovely. Michael is just 18 and on a break from high school. His ambition is to be a guide and he will make an excellent one.
The trek was beautiful. Starting in the forests and then opening up on the second day to reveal the expansive valley and snow-capped mountains. The treks are tough but rewarding. Don’t come unprepared. You should be ready to walk multiple days up and down slopes, some are rocky and can be slippery. But around every corner, there is a view to die for.
We climbed Tsergo Ri. It was tough over 4500 m altitude but the boys encouraged us to keep going slowly slowly. Many trekkers say the views from this mountain are the best they have seen in multiple trips to Nepal. As this was our first, we can’t compare. But it was amazing.
Also, be prepared for extremes in the accommodation. We stayed in a couple of lovely hotels/ guest houses. The first and last night in the Garden Inn was great. But the best was night 3 at Tip Top. At Lama Hotel on Days 2 and 6, it was basic but you can pay for a hot shower in an outside shack. Also, be prepared for any weather. We were lucky, but I’m sure it could be cold and wet.
If I were to recommend one thing, it is to book your trip with Rabin. And if possible, book Veer as your guide.

I had the most amazing adventure of my life. From the moment we landed at the airport to the trek in the Himalayas and our last days in Kathmandu, Rabin and his team made every moment unforgettable. Our guide, Sushil, was not only friendly and kind, but also incredibly professional. He took great care of my friends and me throughout the entire trek, ensuring that our experience was enjoyable. Sushil and his team constantly boosted our spirits, despite carrying our heavy duffles daily. One day, when I couldn’t keep up with the group, Sushil walked with me patiently until we reached the guest house. Their dedication and positivity made the trip truly special. I couldn’t have asked for a better company, guide, and porters for my A.B.C experience.

Our trek to Annapurna Base Camp was truly unforgettable, thanks to the incredible care and dedication of our arranger, Rabin, our amazing guide, Sushil Gurung, and his team of porters. Sushil went above and beyond to ensure that every step of our journey was comfortable and enjoyable. When one of our team members fell sick, Sushil’s support was unwavering. He not only provided medical assistance but also carried their bag for the rest of the trek, allowing us to continue safely and with peace of mind.
His deep knowledge of the terrain, calm presence, and genuine kindness made all the difference. The porters, too, were incredibly hardworking and always had a smile despite the challenging conditions. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through the stunning landscapes of the Annapurna region.
If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, I highly recommend Sushil Gurung and his team. Their professionalism, warmth, and commitment to our safety made this adventure truly special.
This is my second time using Everest trekking routes services. I managed to complete the Manaslu Circuit trek as per the itinerary arranged by ETR and guided by Sukra Gurung. I specifically requested Sukra as my guide, As I was comfortable with his service the first time. He was an experienced guide, He assessed the situation (weather, my condition, landscape, etc.) during the trekking. And prompts me into discussion for decision-making, as we are all well aware that not all trekking goes according to plan. He did it excellently, and we successfully reached Larke Pass and back to Kathmandu on time.
It was no easy task as we had to improvise routes due to landslides, strenuous routes, long distances, rain, and time management but we managed to pull it through. Therefore, I was extremely happy with his guidance and services and most likely will use his services for my future trekking in Nepal again. Many thanks to Rabin Gurung, as usual, for clearly answering and explaining all of my inquiries before confirmation of my booking. Again, I truly appreciate the efforts provided by the Everest Trekking Routes Team, Rabin Gurung, and Sukra Gurung for making this a successful and memorable journey for me. Thank you so much, and looking forward to another adventure with your team again.

他是一位非常非常专业的徒步导游,他总是走在我前面,确保路线安全,不会迷路。有时候当马、驴或野生动物穿过徒步路线时,他会迅速做出决策来确保你的安全,否则可能会有危险。
我的导游Sandesh先生总是解决我所有的问题。有一次我太累了,步行非常缓慢,以至于无法按时到达已经预订满房间的酒店,所以他迅速为我安排了其他的住宿,幸运的是他成功了!这样我就不需要走得很远去其他的酒店,可以在最近的酒店休息,他总是为我安排一切!

Just did the Annapurna Circuit Trek. It was tiring but rewarding! The trek included Ice Lake, Tilicho Lake, and Thorong La Pass. The scenery changes with every passing town, making it an ever-changing journey. Towards the destinations, the scenery becomes out of this world with the whole mountains in your face that you can only enjoy in the Himalayan range. During this time, our guide Sukra and porter Madan have been friendly, patient, and helpful.
When I suffered from altitude sickness, Sukra swiftly brought me down and gave me garlic soup. He regularly communicates what to expect the next day in terms of intensity and things to expect. He regularly checks on our conditions and adjusts rests and pace accordingly. And he was delightful to talk to when we were resting in the lodges.
Madan carries quite a bit of our load, including water. Even if he’s carrying a heavy load, in “dangerous” sections, Madan follows and makes sure no one is lagging. (Don’t misunderstand. Porters should go ahead of the group as they carry really heavy loads but on some instances when the group is supposed to keep together, he acts as a sweeper)

(writing this on the last night of the trek 😉 )We (a group of 3) did the Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake and had perfect conditions most days. Sukra (guide) and Madan (porter) were both professional and enjoyable to be around. We had an excellent and fuss-free experience from our arrival in Kathmandu, completing the circuit, and to Jomsom where we’ll be continuing to Pokhara independently. Rabin who runs the company also had excellent communication throughout.

My father and I pursued the 7-day Langtang trek from Shyphrubesi to the top of Kyanjin Ri. Our guide Bale was very well informed about the nature and the trekking conditions. He and our porter Aita were very friendly and we loved their humor. They made our trekking experience a blast. We will come back to Nepal for another trek with Bale & Aita. Further, the company „Everest trekking routes “ led by Rabin is very trustworthy and organized our trekking tour extremely well.

Our guide and porter (Som & Sandesh) were really friendly and fun to be with during the entire trek. It made the hike more endurable and enjoyable. They were also helpful during the entire hike, checking in on us etc. The early 5 am morning hike up to the viewpoint was not the easiest as it was steps for close to 2 hours but our guide was patient and told us slowly, one step at a time which was comforting to hear. But the view at the top was really worth it.
One small note though was that we signed up for 5 day Mardi Himal trek but based on our fitness level (realizing we hike quite fast and relatively experienced), our guide decided to compress it to 4 day hike (after day 1 of the hike) which we only realized through our conversations with him. Would have appreciated him informing us. Not much major impact as the guide booked a hotel for us in Pokhara on the last day anyway. We now gained an extra day in the city! It is also a good thing for us now to explore more things but sad to leave the mountains earlier!
3-4 day hike is manageable for most people with average fitness level. We hiked about an average 6-7 hours for first 2 days with it stretching to about 8-9 hours on the last day at an average speed for relatively experienced hikers. 5 days will be recommended for those who want to take it really slow.
Otherwise, great experience with our guide and porter and the tour company. Thank you!

We did a 12 days EBC trek with our guide Dhansingh Gurung (his whatsapp number is +977-984-34512310 on 17 Nov to 29 Nov 2023. We would like to thanks Dhansingh for making this trip possible because we are a family of 2 adults and 3 children, aged between 14-16 years old. Dhansingh had make our trekking more pleasant and easier by encouraging and taking care of the younger trekkers. I strongly recommended those people who intends to bring their younger family members to engage Dhansingh as your guide. Prior to the trip, many people discouraged me from bringing the young ones to trek 12 days to EBC! But I did not adhere to their advises and carry on the plan. Dhansingh and his team were to professional and attentive to our needs, even on the first day of arrival to Kathumuda. I reckon that there is no regrets to bring the young ones to explore the truly nature of Nepal during the 12 days EBC trek. Please contact Dhansingh if you have any questions and doubts about travelling with young family members to EBC.

I just finished the 17-day Everest 3 Pass Trek with Sushil from Everest Trekking Routes. Since day one of speaking with Rabin, all of my questions were answered & everything was properly explained. Sushil was very knowledgeable & a great guide throughout the 17 days. I loved that every single day had the most amazing views of the surrounding mountains.
I highly recommend speaking with Rabin & booking your trip through Everest Trekking Routes, & I will use them again in the future. Thanks, Rabin & Sushil.

If you feel it please skip to the last line. My name is Patibut Preeyawongsakul. I have been trekking since 2012. I do either individual trekking or going with a mountain guide. I was with Rabin on Annapurna Trekking in Dec 2015. Not only on the mountains but also roaming around in the city. I was with him for totally 15 days. By 4 years of my trekking around Asia (and a little hiking in the US), Rabin is the best mountain guide so far. Rabin knows how to take care of any kind of trekkers from slow ladies to teenagers. Luckily we didn’t need his first aid kit which he always carries it in his backpack. He’s expert in almost mountains’ information in Nepal (including sometimes Tibet). He can calculate the trip’s timing very precisely. We could change the itinerary on the way we walk without affecting flight schedule (we had one more day on the base camp last time.) Though, His skill still not matches his humbleness and hospitality. I had been seriously discussing with him for 6 months with nothing guarantee I’d go with him, but he happily helped me decide which route to take. He frankly showed the cost breakdown before we make a final decision. He welcomed us at the airport, and all of my team had his souvenirs on the day we flew back to our home country. If you want a short review, Hire this guy. 10/10 would go with him again.

I’m so grateful that I finally finished the trekking, and this must be credited to our professional guide, Rabin! He is so nice! He cared for us so much, and greeted us with his big warming smile during the whole journey! Before this trekking, the highest place I had ever been was only 934 meters, I was so worried about high altitude problem. But In fact, my adaptability was pretty good, cuz Rabin’s trekking plan was so suitable for me that I finally reached EBC and Kala Pattar under the snow and strong winds! When we backed to Island Peak Base Camp after the summit, he brought hot drinks and biscuits and waited for us on the way, that was so sweet and we were really really exhausted and hungry at that time, he just like an angel showed up to us!. It’s a great trekking journey and I really thank Rabin’s guiding and accompanying us! We shared precious moments on this journey!.
Recently my wife and I visited Nepal for the eighteenth time and enjoyed a wonderful trek, one of the best treks ever, and this was largely due to our guide, Rabin Gurung (Trekking Guide in Nepal), with whom we also trekked around Manaslu in 2010.
If you come to Nepal with the idea of doing ‘your own trek’ with a small party, I highly recommend hiring Rabin. Not only does he have many years of experience but he is very honest and humble, so much so that one woman at a very basic lodge on our recent trek, impressed by his honesty, told my wife that “this man is a very good man, honest man, all other guide-man say lie to customers, say them that price is higher than the real price, so they can get more money.”
Rabin is always in good humor and friendly and gets along well with the local people and the porters too. Furthermore, his varied experience from his earlier years as a porter and cook helped to make him a better guide. I can’t remember how many times during our treks, when we stopped at a new or very basic lodge, or even at a tea house for lunch, when the owner’s cooking skills were at most primitive, Rabin tactfully volunteered to move into the kitchen and some amazingly delicious food would come out, made from the most simple ingredients.
Three years ago, in March of 2010, the Manaslu trek was not what it is now. Along the entire trek from Arughat (where we had to start walking), until we reached to Annapurna circuit route, there was at that time only a single lodge with what could be called a ‘menu’, and that was the one and only lodge in Sama village at that time. All other villages either had nothing but dal bhat and perhaps chapatis, or nothing to eat and no lodge at all. We had to camp some places, but when we could, we stayed in the simple lodges that existed and he often improved our diet by cooking foods that the proprietor did not know how to cook, sometimes even such a basic menu item as an omelet, to be rolled up inside a chapati for breakfast.
This year, again in March, we decided to return to the same area, with the desire to explore the newly opened valley of Tsum. This is a lovely, beautiful valley populated by some 4000 Tibetan people, who have lived for nearly a thousand years in that inaccessible ‘hidden valley’, connected by easy passes to Tibet but until not so many decades ago, without any reasonable connection to Nepal through the truly stupendous canyons of the lower section of the valley. Indeed, many inhabitants could not speak any Nepali, only Tibetan, which made it difficult at times. We had a double permit, which if you ever want to see Tsum Valley thoroughly, I highly recommend. Most people try to do a quick one-week detour to Tsum Valley as a kind of bonus side trip on the way around Manaslu. They never know what they have missed. Some of the most interesting villages and friendliest people, and some truly awesome scenery, can be visited in Tsum valley if you have time. One week is too little time to see more than a quick glimpse of the Valley.
I and my wife have been trekking in Nepal for years, myself since 1981, and our trek to Manaslu was the first time we had ever used a guide (because it was required on that trek), despite having visited some very remote areas such as crossing the Trashi Labtsa Pass from Khumbu into Rolwaling with friends in 1982. I had doubts about using a guide, I had seen how so many of them control their clients and take a commission from lodge owners to fill their pockets, I have seen many guides from Kathmandu who knew less about the local people and places than I did. I say this not to boast but as a word of caution: there are all too few honest, humble, helpful, and experienced guides out there, and many of those who are have moved into the higher levels of trekking management and no longer guide. But from the first days, on our 2010 Manaslu trek, we were impressed by the level of experience Rabin has, and also his sensitivity in allowing us to make our own itinerary day by day. He never was angry, never showed irritation, always explained patiently what was going on, and was always in a good mood. We were a group of five at that time, and by the end of the first week, we all agreed that if we returned to Nepal for another trek requiring a guide, we would try to get Rabin again.
This is what we did in March 2013 on our visit to Tsum Valley. Using more porters in order to have tents and extra food, we planned to visit the highest area of the upper end of Tsum Valley and ascend to one of the high passes overlooking Tibet. This year was plagued by poor weather and too much snow in March, however, and we were unable to do that, as were all the people who had set out to trek around Manaslu this March: the deep snow at higher elevations did not allow anyone in the first weeks of March to cross the Larkya La and go around Manaslu. But we had time, and because of the tents and food we had, we also had more options. The tents and food we used in a wonderful visit to the nunnery at Gumalungdang, up a steep side valley surrounded by the huge peaks of Ganesh Himal. We camped there for two nights, as there is no accommodation yet, and enjoyed incredible sunrise views of the nearby Ganesh Himal and also the distant great Peaks of HImalchuli, Ngadi Chuli, and Manaslu.
Tsum Valley is developing rapidly, as is the Manaslu circuit. However, particularly if you are new to Nepal trekking, don’t believe the hype that many agencies will tell you, that the Manaslu trek is the “new Annapurna circuit”. The Annapurna trek, over a period of three decades, developed a huge infrastructure for trekkers, with scores and scores of hotels, often equipped with deluxe menus and services, hot showers, laundry service, spring mattresses, etc. I think it will be some time yet before these things appear on the Manaslu trek, and if you find them in some places, don’t expect them at the next place. Tsum Valley is one step back in development yet.
One problem to watch out for is this: Manaslu Tsum Valley’s popularity and this can be said for Manaslu too, is growing much faster than services can be built–may be large because the road around Annapurna has grown so quickly and has put people off from that once glorious trek. We were there both times in March when there are fewer trekkers than in April or especially during the high season in October and November. In Tsum, as of March 2013, there was only one real lodge with rooms, and that was just a bit beyond Lokhpa at the foot of the valley. The other ‘lodges’ were basically beds in a side room of a local house, the largest such able to sleep ten people but others only four or five. Most villages had only one such place for trekkers to sleep, some villages had no place. When we reached Mu Gompa, in March all but one of the 80 monks were away from the valley for the winter, and furthermore, there was no food available at all. Only because we had our tents and stove and food for going higher up the valley (which we were unable to do because of snow), were we able to stay there e and eat our own food, instead of returning to Nile village the same day. The same goes for Gumbalunddang, where no food was available. if you are going o visit Tsum valley, and perhaps Manaslu too, during the busiest season, think seriously about hiring at least one EXTRA porter and having a tent, stove, and food, in case of accommodation is full! It might be worth it! Also, think of the porters: we saw many groups of two or three with a guide and a single porter carrying an enormous load, who was trailing far behind the others during the day. Many of them were unhappy with the arrangement.
In conclusion, this time with four people in our group, and with several porters and with Rabin as our guide again, we once more enjoyed what all agreed was one of the best treks we’ve ever done in the Himalayas, out of a total number of over thirty now, in Nepal and India. Rabin is an excellent choice for a guide. He is honest and will help you save money instead of trying to find ways to squeeze more for himself, he is fun and funny and friendly and all along the trails, he makes new friends with the people we meet along the way. He is experienced but doesn’t try to tell the customers what to do, he asks what they want to do, and then explains the options. If you are the type of trekker who is truly interested in Nepal, in the places, the culture, and religion and people and villages, and like to understand what is happening around you, hire Rabin as your guide, you won’t be disappointed. Indeed, like us (except for one, the same group that went around Manaslu with Rabin three years earlier), perhaps you will want to return to Nepal and go on another trek with Rabin Gurung!

Sewaktu saya ditugaskan oleh persatuan NOBAT untuk mendapatkan khidmat ‘trekking guide’ bagi ekspedisi NOBAT Himalaya 2013, saya telah menghubungi beberapa ‘trekking agent’ di Kathmandu melalui emel. Saya tertarik dengan laman web Rabin Gurung dan ‘testimonial’ dari beberapa individu yang penat mendapatkan khidmatnya. Rabin memberikan tawaran kos yang paling berpatutan. Dari raut wajahnya saja saya yakin dia adalah orang yang jujur dan’friendly’. Satu kelebihan lain ialah dia boleh berbahasa Malaysia.
Apabila bertemu dengan Rabin buat pertama kalinya di Kathmandu, memang sah bahawa kami telah membuat pilihan yang tepat. Sepanjang trekking, Rabin sangat professional dalam khidmatnya. Beliau flexible dan mudah diajak berunding. Kami tidak lagi menganggapnya sebagai pemandu jalan tetapi sebagai sahabat..kepada sesiapa yang ingin trekking di Himalaya, sila dapatkan khidmat Rabin. Saya percaya anda bakal membuat pilihan yang tepat.

It was such a hard fight to join this trip. Because I had to work hard to find funding for this training. It is the first summit I attended team NOBAT ( No Boundary Adventurers Association Sabah ) to the Himalayas with AMG (Adventure Mountain Guide Rabin Gurung), I gained a great experience, which Mr. Rabin Gurung was very friendly and kind as a mountain guide who experience he made this trip so enjoyable, and build a better friendship.
I would like to thank him for giving the best service to us, this is the first time I walk for 21 days hahaha. In every step, he remained faithful to accompany and not leave us, even though there are 2 people in our group who did not succeed, and he sent us back to our high camp Lobuche to support the spirit reaching the summit of Lobuche Peak Climbing.
Nice trip and good services such as tents, food, and stories you tell about your family, it is good, and I enjoyed the trip because you protected me and my team so much.
Keep up the good work you AMG! I am happy to see and to know you! Good luck! * extra bonus able to speak Bahasa Melayu! hehe
Searching for the perfect company to embark on the EBC trek was not easy when doing research on who to go with. I happen to have really lucked out by choosing to go with Everest Trekking Routes, because they were great, through and through.
I did the trek in November but started inquiring with them back in February. Rabin is the CEO of the company, and he has helped me in every way possible. He was prompt in answering my questions via email and meticulously arranged the EBC trek, which felt customized to all my needs. In person, he was kind and courteous. And my guide Suk was friendly and helpful throughout the hike. He had brought all the necessary medication for me and asked every day how I was feeling. Suk is also a very good card player and was grateful for his company on the 12-day hike/ Kathmandu City Hike.
I’m sure most of you reading this have gone with some tour company elsewhere in the world, and perhaps you might agree that most of them have treated you as simply a commodity in the assembly line. By going with Everest Trekking Routes, I never felt that. Rabin and Suk took care of me from beginning to end, and I sing all their praises for getting me to Everest Base Camp, which was a major deal for me and my friends and Family. Rabin and Suk became family to me. Thank you for everything, guys!
This is my second trip with Rabin and I am already looking forward to a third trip with him soon. That shows how much I value his services, his extensive experiences with the treks, his honesty, and of course, the great supporting staff he have.
I feel safe and well taken care of with Rabin as my guide. He is a man with integrity and deal in a most honest way with us. This is unlike lots of horror stories you read about guides and tea-house owners collaborating to fleece hikers. We pay exactly what we consumed at the tea houses based on the published menu prices, no more and no less. With Rabin, there is no hidden cost.
With more than 20 years of trekking experience, he gave good advises on the route and safety measures to take. For example, he insisted that we started off early on a particular day so that we will reach a section with an ice sheet before the ice started to melt and traversing the ice-sheet becomes dangerous and difficult.
We have a large team of porters and assistant guides to take care of our team of 12 hikers and everyone on Rabin’s team have been extremely helpful and friendly. My teenage son enjoyed playing Uno and sliding down the ABC Trek icy slope with a teenage porter, a fellow hiker who has walking difficulties was supported all the way by assistant guides and porters and our meals were all ordered in advance so the group don’t have to wait long for food to be served.

I have now used Everest Trekking Routes for two trips to Nepal. I can’t put my finger on anything that needs improvement. The initial communication part is spot on. They are quick to respond and I usually my questions answered on the first reply. Both times I have been greeted at the airport by a super polite guide. I’ve felt welcome and gotten all my needs tended to.
On my second trip, we could not fly to Lukla, because of bad weather. Instead of waiting for the weather to clear up, they arranged alternative transport to the mountains, to avoid wasting precious days in Kathmandu.
The whole city experience has been an absolute pleasure. Except for the hard work, summiting a mountain

My brother and I had the pleasure of having Rabin as our guide on the trip to Mera Peak Expedition.
Everything was planned to perfection and we had a great time with Rabin, who is friendly, funny, and always helpful.
Last but not least, we reached the summit.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with both Dhansingh and Rabin Gurung. We took a 2 weeks trek with them from Lukla — Gokyo Lake — EBC . What a blessing we had them along the way , we will never forget and be grateful and thankful for the unquie, warm , genuine hospitality that we had , plus all the priceless encounters within the nature. Namaste!

The trekking was an extraordinary experience. Breathtaking views of Everest and the surrounding 8000s. Rabin Gurung always made sure we have a nice accommodation, enough for eating and drinking, warm and comfortable. He is a really caring guide. I would do another trip with him right away. He organised everything so that we could totally focus on the hiking.

I have just completed a trek of the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum valley with three other friends. The trip was magnificent, stunning mountain peaks, ancient forest, impressive rivers and waterfalls and interesting villages. During the trip we were very well looked after by our guide, Dhansingh Gurung who gently and efficiently took us through 21 days of trekking over diverse terrain and Sangam (Durga) our porter who was always helpful and cheerful. Both Dhansingh and Durga added considerably to the enjoyment of the experience with their friendliness and local knowledge. If I return to Nepal, I will definitely use our guide and porter again.

Positive experience liaising with Everest Trekking for our Manaslu Circuit Trek.
The guide made adjustments to our plans based on our comfort/fitness level and the weather so that we managed to finish the trail.
Our guide helped us secure some last-minute stuff for us like our sleeping bag rentals.
Most importantly the hike itself was great as well thanks to our guide for his hospitality and our porter’s hard work.
Appreciate the apples cut for us every night during the hike carried by the guide and to the porter for pushing through even though his eyes hurt from the sun glare from the snow.
Thank you for this great experience.

Had a wonderful time hiking at the Manaslu area with my tour guide Sushil Gurung and porter Madan Gurung. They helped us with our every need from last minute rental gear like sleeping bags to telling us more about Nepal and being knowledgeable about the area. Both of them are experienced and knowledgeable. Both of them are very observant about how you are coping with the pace and terrain and will change pace to suit your pace.

I requested Mr. Rabin Gurung to have a guide/porter before starting my journey, and he sent a very experienced guide Mr. Phul to be my guide/porter. Mr. Phul has more than 25+ years of experience becoming a mountain guide. I had problems during the hike up to the mountain but Mr. Phul always gave me support all the way, he shared the newer things in the jungle with my brother along the trek.

It was my first time in Nepal and my first “long” trek, Rabin and Samuel from Everest Trekking Routes certainly made it one of the most memorable trip for me!
Prior to my booking, Rabin was very patient in answering my many questions. Communication was very smooth and easy. He warmly welcomed me at the airport and introduced me to my guide, Samuel, who will accompany me throughout the 7 days trip. They take care of all the logistics, permits, transports etc. ( there were many check points on the way so permits are essential)
Needless to say, Samuel did an excellent job, very professional and kind to me the whole trip. He is always available to assist, whether it’s to help carry my bag, help me to go down when I have some trouble with the knees, to showing the many animals along the way, or help fixing my shoes, he was always so accommodating, kind and helpful.
All the food and accommodations picked by them were very good and comfortable. Couldn’t have done this trip with so much joy without Samuel, big kudos!!!
Regarding the trek, the scenery is so surreal and varried. Snow capped mountains, glaciers, lush green valley, dense forest, rivers, many animals and beautiful flowers, you get to see it all on this trip. I will forget many things in my life but certainly, Langtang valley will always have a special place in my memories for its breathtaking beauty!!!!
For me, a woman in early 30s, regularly exercise, this was a moderate trek, there was some challenging parts but not that difficult. I don’t walk alot at home, but to complete 6hr walking every day on the trip for me wasn’t that difficult. We also got lucky with weather, clear sky for most days. Even when it’s rain a little and get foggy, it’s still so beautiful and mystic. Also you get to meet other trekkers along the way and gathering at teahouses, where we are served supper yummy fresh cooked dishes. It wad not crowded at all, or so I feel, cause I meat many people at the tea houses but along the way, you don’t really see anyone.
So well, what more can I say, do yourself a favor, book with them and enjoy the trip, you won’t be disappointed!!!
P. s: consider taking the jeep to go there, the road is terrible and many mountain passes with sharp u-turn corners.

Annapurna Circuit Trekking in Nepal
Siamo una coppia: io e mio marito. Ci siamo affidati per il Trek del Circuito dell’ Annapurna e dell’ ABC programmato per il mese di aprile all’ Everest Trekking Routes, senza conoscerli. Siamo stati contentissimi di questa scelta. La nostra guida Sukra Gurung e il portatore Buddy Gurung sono stati per noi come degli amici. Abbiamo avuto sempre tutte le informazioni riguardanti la flora, la fauna, le montagne che ci circondavano puntuali e precise. Alla sera Sukra ci illustrava il programma del giorno dopo e ci consigliava su quali indumenti e comportamenti era meglio adottare. Insomma… noi ci siamo sentiti proprio accolti e coccolati.
Il responsabile dell’ agenzia Rabin ha voluto incontrarci all’ inizio e alla fine del trekking, ci ha mandato a prendere all’ areoporto quando siamo arrivati in Nepal e ci riporterà domani per la partenz, senza che noi lo avessimo chiesto. È un gesto davvero gentile che apprezziamo molto.
Ci è venuta voglia di tornare in Nepal per un altro trekking e quando riusciremo a farlo, sicuramente sceglieremo ancora questa compagnia e se possibile Sukra e Buddy!
