I took part in a 10 day custom package with a group of 9 people heading to the Mardi Himal trek from KTM. It was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. We made friends with the friendliest of guides. We were totally impressed by and forever grateful for the porters who helped us make it up. The selection of hotels, tea houses, and transportation options were the best possible available. The guides were supportive of everyone's questions/concerns and did anything they could to help with even the smallest of requests. Thank you so much for a life changing experience!

Had a beautiful trek with Adarsha to Mardi Himal BC and a lovely stay in the home of Deepak. Everything was well prepared by Deepak and he was very welcoming, flexible and trustworthy. The stay at his house was really a great bonus, a home away from home. The guide, Adarsha, was very caring, open and great company. He really made the trek an adventure and took great care of me and my safety. All in all no critical remarks and only good things, I highly recommend these guys and the company. Adarsha and Deepak, thank you again!

This is an interesting place to visit. The architecture is very interesting, and they were doing a lot of restoration. Still, it is a very poor village. The people are friendly. The Newari food is great. I would not take this as either a half-day or full-day tour. Take a taxi up, have the driver wait for 30-45 minutes, while you look around (or longer, if you want to eat in a restaurant), then get on to other things. The tours are over-priced and drag on too long.

For the third time in three years, I took a 4WD tour of Upper Mustang with Adventure Thirdpole Treks. This tour was to attend the Tiji Festival in Lo Manthang. Based upon my previous experiences, I had recommended that my well traveled friend accompany me. I was confident that he would be satisfied with Adventure Thirdpole Treks services and most importantly - performance. My confidence and trust were once again rewarded as well as justified. As happens in tours to the isolated and under-developed region of Upper Mustang, challenges beyond anyone's control happen. Our guide, Raj, kept us informed at all times of issues. We were informed of possible solutions and were involved in making the final decision on how to adapt to the changing condition. Raj had everything under control so we never felt any anxiety. In the end the challenges only added to our adventure and in no way took away from our enjoyment of the tour. Raj took very good care of shepherding us through airports, checkpoints, and other confusing situations. Although this was my third tour, Adventure Thirdpole Treks was still able to make this a unique experience for me. We visited some new places and stayed at a couple different guesthouses.

Everything from start to end was well planned by our guide Raj and the company. The trek was enjoyable with many laughters and fun along the way. Although due to bad weather we didn't make it to our intended destination (EBC) The company quickly changed our route to ABC which impressed me alot. They made all nessecary changes all within 1 hour which was great! It could have ended in a bad trip but due to their experience they turned it around and still gave us the adventure that we seek. 10/10 service and care. Great job thirdpole and Raj!

23 March-7 April 4 of us were supposed to climb Everest base camp but due to the bad haze on the day we were supposed to fly to Lukla, our guide Raj told us to make an impromptu decision to climb ABC instead. Of course, we were slightly disappointed but we were prepared for such changes. And we’re thankful we did. We’ve heard so many bad stories of people who force their way there and get injured or have difficulties coming back out to Kathmandu after their hike due to the weather. During our hike, we were very well taken care of. Our porters and guide ensured all our meals were well, held our hands to make sure we got over safely especially on the snowy grounds. What I enjoyed most was that our guide allowed us to stay in their homes, and hosted us just like we were part of his family. He cooked for us fish curry, and his wife cooked mutton. It was a great experience and i’d definitely introduce my friends to this group in future! Make sure your guides are experienced. That’s most important. Safety is always first and I’m thankful Adventure Thirdpole did a wonderful job in that for us. We miss you papa Raj! - Hazel, Singapore

Located at the heart of kathmandu. All the beauty of nature you can view from here. Gives peace of mind in every visit. Lovely place to visit anytime time.

We had a day trip booked in pokhara to explore the city, raj (our guide) was fantastic and kind, he took us out for a lovely local dinner a few nights before our day trip to introduce himself, we met him again in pokhara for our tour, his English was fantastic and he was very knowledgeable. We had some issues with a different tour company and raj went above and beyond to help us rearrange our trip and find an alternative. He was a genuine, lovely person and on our next visit we will need to look no further than third poll trek.

We had a wonderful time with Raj! He made our time and tour in Pokhara excellent. He even met with us and hosted us to dinner in Kathmandu. He went above and beyond what we would have expected. I would highly recommend using them for any tour, even if not listed, ask and I'm sure they can make it happen.

Though I did an Everest Mountain Flight the view of the Himalayas rising above the clouds from Chandragiri at approx. altitude 2500m was outstanding. You could clearly view Mt. Everest and beyond. Please note that there are steps you can take up or down therefore you have the choice to buy a cable car return, one way or no ticket. Return ticket cost approx. US$93 for 3 adults and 2 children (13 yr old was classified as an adult).

We spent several days in Kathmandu and travels to the east and north. Deepak arranged jeep for travel from Kathmandu to Bhaktapur and Dhulikhel, and then from Dhulikhel to Melamchi. Excellent drivers and so nice to have transportation taken care of. From Melamchi we went to Raithane and Deepak had a jeep ready for our return trip to Kathmandu which was seamless. Excellent planning and all around great experience. Deepak is a wealth of information both locally ("raithane!") and beyond and a very kind and welcoming soul!

I have been in a couple of places in the world but Nepal is no like others. It's a country where nature shows it greatest masterpiece: mountains. But not only mountains, during our trek, my girlfriend and I also learnt a lot about the culture and the people of Nepal. For me, it's a life-time experience. It couldn't happen without the accompany of Mr. Raj and Bimol from Adventure Thirdpole Treks. Those who have showed us the beauty of Nepal through their hospitality, warmth, and great stories. The service is just excellent. And what we brought back home was not just experience but also two new Nepalese friends. We're gonna come back in Nepal as soon as we can. Chung Mai from Vietnam.

I must thank Adventure Third Pole Trak for organizing such a wonderful trip for me to photograph Nepal’s hidden jewels towards the unbeaten path away from the norm and into the hidden. And to top it off the experience of having to feel and touch the true Nepalese traditions in a homestay has firmly brought my feet to the ground. Travel is not only to see touristic places, a true traveler needs to explore deeper, to hear the silent flutters of humanity that a country offers, and that said, Third Pole Trak has successfully made it happen. Many thanks to Third Pole Trak for an experience that goes beyond the norm, and I fully recommend any traveler to engage them for their travel needs, be it in a bustling city or the hidden gem of a traditional village that makes you want to get away from your city life more and more.

Where do I even begin about Thirdpole? Have you ever felt at home when you're not exactly at home? At peace at thee most unexpected place. Well, Thirdpole brought us there. LANTANG TREK AND GOSAINKUNDA PASS Langtang offered a more unpopulated and cultural significance. We were so glad that we picked this trek. After having pass the jungle part of it all, the mountain and valleys were breath-taking. The trek is definitely not as easy and the internet says, but manageable. Hence having a good team of porters and guide is very important. The view up in Kyanjin-Ri was just no less than perfect. The steep incline up from Kyanjin-Gompa is definitely worth it. During our trek we managed to do a little cultural tour to a traditional nepali house. It was definitely the highlight of my trip. The hospitality and love from these people were just so heartwarming. We got to try yak milk and boiled potatoes with masala dip, they tasted so good. Langtang is definitely underrated and a must on the Nepal’s trek list. The Gosainkunda pass was an enlightening one. The hard pass was so beautiful. The endless picturesque lakes within the pass and the challenge of it all just took our breath away. Literally might I add. Haha. The views of the pass definitely has jaw dropping sights throughout which is why this pass is highly recommended. THIRDPOLE STAFF Adarsha Mahat Adars is an exceptional individual, both as a guide and a friend. We couldn’t have ended up with a better guide. His knowledge on Nepal’s mountain ranges, Nepal’s geographical facts and cultural history are impeccable. In between walks he would generously share his knowledge on whichever location we were at, and they were often! Adars’s mantra for trekking was simple, ‘Don’t think about the whole trek, just take it day by day’. Hence this made us worry less, making us enjoy the trek a whole lot more. Words could never justify the bond we made with adars, it was just so pure, fun and understanding. To top it off, he was still amazingly the responsible, diligent and professional guide he is. Tara Bahadur Tamang and Ram Bahadur Tamang Tara’s character oozes out the fun fatherly figure. It was never a bore with Tara walking behind you. Despite his limited English linguistic abilities, communication was a breeze with him. His encouragement and keen eye for your safety are admirable qualities. He often lulls the traditional nepali folk song while trek with such heavy load on him, astonishing. Ram is no stranger to us as this was our second trek with him. Ram’s playful character uplifted our spirits mid treks. He was also very accommodating and helpful to our needs.

I toured Upper Mustang in Oct/Nov 2017 with a group organized by a third party with Adventure Thirdpole Treks doing all the logistics. Based upon my experience on that tour, I contacted Thirdpole for a tour this year for just my wife and me to attend the Yartung Festival in Lo Manthang. My faith and confidence in Adventure Thirdpole Treks was rewarded and affirmed. First of all dealing directly with them was significantly cheaper. Since we were traveling in the monsoon season we were warned about the possibility of travel difficulties and of the potential cost impact if those difficulties were encountered. Well there were difficulties - cancelled flights due to weather, impassable sections for vehicles at certain sections of roads, and schedule difficulties. The bottom line - we had a great trip and Adventure Thirdpole Treks did a commendable job of fixing all the issues and problems (however not the weather or the roads - LOL). They kept us informed of all possible problems, alternatives, and potential cost impacts of all alternatives. When traveling to remote areas such as Upper Mustang, there will be situations that develop beyond anyone's control. I expect to be informed of the situation, possible alternatives to resolve the situations, and to be part of the decision on how to resolve the issue. Adventure Thirdpole Treks performed admirably and met all my expectations. Our guide, Raj, made countless calls back to Kathmandu to ensure that we always had adequate transportation and lodging despite what obstacles we encountered. For me that type of performance defines a great tour company - the ability to adapt,and perform to deliver to their clients. Another plus, was that I was never worried or stressed by changing conditions and situations because Raj and Thirdpole were always on top of things. We arrived in Lo Manthang on schedule and enjoyed our tour greatly. Our experience was so good that I will use them again for a return personal tour in the Spring.
