My friend and I wanted to hike the Annapurna Circuit, however an organised tour didn't appeal to us because we didn't want a porter (who are often included in tour packages) and we also wanted flexibility in our itinerary and timing. Nepal Gateway Trekking was recommended to me by a friend in my local walking club (in Tasmania) who is friends with the cofounders. I felt confident in his recommendation and reached out to Ram and Raj to find out if we could organise just a guide.

Ram was extremely quick to reply and easy to communicate with via email ahead of us arriving in Kathmandu. We paid our deposit in advance and then when we arrived we visited Ram and Raj at their office in Thamel. They are extremely kind and professional and we workshopped our itinerary based off their knowledge of the circuit. They suggested we begin ASAP to beat the crowds (a fantastic suggestion) and so we started the trek on Sep 25th 2023.

Our guide Krishna, was an absolute legend. He was extremely considerate and went out of his way to make sure we were always comfortable and having fun. He organised accommodation as we went, knowing which villages can become bottlenecked and need to be booked ahead. He walked with us at all times, kept us at a safe pace, kept us organised and on time, checked in on us and shared his balms and lotions to help with the discomforts of long days of walking at altitude. We enjoyed meeting his family over video calls, many jokes and laughs and silly photos together. We could not imagine our trek without Krishna there! I highly recommend Krishna as a guide.

The team were kind enough to let me leave my excess luggage at their office in Thamel for not just the duration of the trek but the additional week that I spent elsewhere in Nepal. Raj was attentive and went out of his way to re-unite me with my suitcase - which I am very appreciative of considering they were already doing me a massive favour by minding my bag while I was gone.

I highly recommend Nepal Gateway Trekking for your adventures in Nepal, and I highly recommend Krishna as a guide. It was our first visit to Nepal. We had a blast and we know we'll be back for more.

Thanks so much!! Sincerely, Kelly (and Alex!)

Myself & 3 friends booked the Gokyo Ri 9 day trek including Helicopter return flight with Ram at Nepal Gateway Trekking (NGT). We all arrived from different countries, which NGT managed and collected us from KTM airport. Our trip was to fly o Lukla via plane BUT the weather caused some initial delays. Our group had limited time to complete the trek, so we asked Ram at NGT to look at options to ensure we didn't get delayed. NGT did all they could to ensure we managed to have some options. We decided to charter a helicopter to get us started to Lukla. This alleviated any delays and we could get started. Overall the trek was amazing, and this is down to the guide Raj & the porter team provided. We were glad we chose the Gokyo trek over Everest base camp, it was much more scenic and less busy. I found the accommodation & food was better than expected, with availability of showers & WIFI almost at every stop we made. This trek was made amazing by Ram & Raj at NGT......I'm more than happy recommending Nepal Gateway Trekking!!

I completed the Three Passes Trek in June 2023 with Nepal Gateway Trekking, and I couldn't have had a better experience!

As a solo female traveler, I received a lot of warnings and worried looks when I first decided to fly to Nepal to complete a 3-weeks trek in the Himalayas.
Armed with my laptop and 3 mere weeks to decide on an agency and on a package, I found Nepal Gateway Trekking's website and decided to make an inquiry.
Ram, one of the agency's owners, was immediately responsive, informative, and honest, adapting the trip to my needs and preparing all the necessary details for my arrival.
From the minute I stepped out of the arrival gates in Kathmandu to the moment I had to sadly walk into the departure doors one month later, Ram and his team were constantly helpful and adapted to every last-minute change of plans (for example, my flight from Lukla to Kathmandu at the end of the trek unfortunately never departed because of monsoon weather, and they planned a last minute Jeep ride for me to arrive back to the city as soon as possible...and much more!).

During the trek itself, I was paired with an experienced guide named Nir. The agency was kind enough for him to come all the way to Kathmandu to accompany me to the airport for my flight to Lukla (despite him coming from a remote village 2 days away), and from then he has been a trusted companion and a source of laughs and wisdom for the following 19 days.
I was bringing my own gear and backpack as I have some hiking experience, but Nir was always making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. We respected all the necessary acclimatization days and I never suffered more than I slight headache, which is quite the win at those altitudes, and I think Nir was pivotal in this outcome.
I would repeat this trek 100 more times without changing a thing!

I will never be able to express in words how grateful I am to Nepal Gateway Trekking for this amazing experience.
I will definitely be back in Nepal, and I already know who I'll contact!

Manaslu circuit

I had never been to Asia before, so I could only be surprised in Nepal. Smaller airport, but helpful and friendly staff at the entry into the country, processing the visa took a few minutes. The hustle and bustle of the big city was already waiting outside. Luckily my English was good enough for a simple phone call with our guide and I scurried off to the hotel. The personal exploration of another world began and was accompanied from the first moments by Raj's professional and interesting interpretation.

The journey to the mountains started with a bus, followed by a jeep, and then finally continued only on one's own feet. As it turned out, in the optimal time of year, when at least some previous moisture allowed nature to show its wonders, which, thanks to its rich knowledge, Raj could not only show us, but also name and describe in context. Nature changed from "lowlands" with subtropical plants, through semi-primitive forest, to high forests with coniferous and deciduous giants along the course of the glacial river, to mountain meadows and to a thicket of fragrant rhododendron bushes in the highest parts behind the five-thousand-meter saddle of Larke Pass, where we they had only rock and glacier underfoot, but the closer we were to the sunlit peaks covered with ice and snow.

The direction of our march, where we slowly gained altitude meters to the highest point of the expedition in a reasonable number of kilometers every day in complete comfort, with sufficient sources of food and drink, and in view of the following steep initial descent behind the saddle, was excellent.

Our guide described the route for each day in advance, its character, places and stops for food and drink, accommodation for the night. I never felt "lost", uncomfortable, or rushed.

During our trek through the mountains, we used the services of a porter during the day to carry our sleeping bags, spare clothes, etc. Biru always did this with a smile and an assurance that everything was O.K., even though it seemed like a difficult task. Thanks to Biru's services, our own wandering could have been more comfortable. Thanks a lot.

In order to return to urban civilization clean and tidy again, the guys took me to the local barber. It was definitely a great experience.

Seeing how life in a different environment can be difficult and at the same time initially simple for a person to survive makes me return to Europe richer and at the same time knowing that good people live everywhere, helping others is always needed and meeting others and sharing experiences with them is enriching.

Thank you very much for all the services and I look forward to the next trip if possible!

We originally had this trip (the Annapurna base camp trek) booked for March 2020 and had paid the deposit , but it was postponed due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, Ram kept in touch with us each year until finally we were able to go. The company still honoured our deposit and Ram was fantastic in organising the trip and communicating with us right up to when we arrived.

We were lucky to be led by Anjan and our porter was Prakesh - what an oustanding team. Anjan is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide; he adapted the itinerary to suit our pace and always booked great accommodation with hot showers wherever possible. He was also very enthusiastic and shared his knowledge of Nepalese culture with us. Likewise, we were so impressed by Prakesh's strength and his positive energy.

I would 100% recommend using this company - they helped us create unforgettable memories. If we ever go to Everest base camp we will be sure to use them!

I really loved this trek. The hike was beautiful and incredibly varied.
Nepal Gateway were fantastic sorting all the details out for us trekking permits travel arrangements et. They anticipated every eventuality ensuring our journey was smooth and not delayed . We needed three different jeeps on our journey to Taplejung at the start of the trek to enable us to pass landslides and downed bridges everything ran like clockwork
Our guide was fab spoke good English took great trouble to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He constantly looked out and prepared for potential problems. Despite quite extreme conditions at altitude I felt relaxed and safe.
This isn’t an easy trek due to the length , altitude and basic tea houses but it felt like a real adventure remote, relatively quiet (we met 10-15 other l per day often the same ones ) fantastic variation from villages to unspoilt jungle to empty snow capped peaks
I 100% recommend this company

My boyfriend and I decided to do the EBC trek during the off season (January). We flew from Thailand with no gear and only summer clothing. Immediately Ram and Raj were there to help us with packing lists and helping us source (and borrow) the gear we needed to be prepared for the cold.

The trek was one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences of my life. Not only was the trek basically empty (apart from the few other trekkers we would see occasionally), but the weather was perfect. But one of the real highlights of our trip, apart from our beautiful surroundings, was that we were also in the best company with our guide, Raj, and porter, Tej.

Raj, ensured that each day was more beautiful and memorable than the last -- which we thought was impossible. He took the time to teach us about the mountains, Nepali culture, environmental changes, and so much more while making us feel comfortable. The organization, kindness, and thoughtfulness that Ram and Raj put into planning each day was above and beyond.

On a trek like EBC that has become so commercialized and overrun by western tourists and companies, Nepal Gateway was a breath of fresh air. We could tell how respected Raj and Tej were at each stop on our journey and this gave us the confidence to make it to basecamp. Throughout the trek we stopped at local, family-owned restaurants and guest houses and felt so at home. We were so thankful to be in the hands of our Nepali team and to learn from them along the way.

The positivity that the team had throughout the ten day trek was also wonderful to be part of and something that I have since tried to emulate in my everyday life back at home. I truly cannot wait to be back in Nepal and eating oranges with this team again on another trek.

This fall we had memorable family trekking in Langtang Valley. For the third time we toured with Nepal Gateway Trekking - our company of trust and freindship. Together with our 2 kids (15, 20) we spent 7 days in the beautiful Langtang Valley. The tour went exactly as planned in the program we aligned with oour guide Raj. Private jeep transportation, outstanding mountain lodges and a super-friendly porter made the 7-days hiking experience easy and confotale for all family members. We enjoy th ebeautiful nature and Raj's profound explanations and stories about culture, people and nature. Highlight was the climb up to Kyanjin Ri (4.800m); after the exhaustive climb we enjoyed the leissure time in Kyanjin Gomba with the visit of the Buddhist monastery and Yak cheese factory. The spectacular panoramic mountain views of the whole Langtang Himalayas, including Langtang Lirung (7,244m), Langshisa Ri (6,810 m.), and Gyanghempo (6,888 m.) and Ganjala peak was really breathtaking.
Besides incredible mountain views, we also wont forget Langtang Valley views with dramatic icefall flowing from Langtang Lirung and Gyanghempo peak. Definitely, we'll come back for the next tour with Raj and Nepal Gateway Trekking.

Just go with Gateway and Ram, you will not be disappointed! We did treks to Langtang Valley, Poon Hill/Mardi Himal and got turned around on our attempt to do Tsum Valley and Manaslu due to severe rains, flooding, slides (national disaster). Older US couple from sea level in Florida. Our 2 months in Nepal were a 70th birthday treat. Ours was a private trip, just us, our guide and porter. Our trekking guide for a month (also Ram) and the porters made this the trip of a lifetime. When the slides ended our Manaslu trek, Ram planned a different trek for us which was wonderful. Gateway also helped us with all our non trek travels to Lumbini, Lower Mustang and Chitwan. Hotels, flights, jeeps and more. Ram from the office kept in touch via WhatsApp our entire stay to make sure we were doing well. You will be treated with true caring professionals and taken care, even when difficulties might arise. We have make lifelong friends of the Gateway people. Call Ram and let him help you plan your trip!

My girlfriend and I did the Annapurna circuit hike in May with Nepal Gateway Trekking. It was awesome!

When organising the trip we had the chance to ask anything we wanted and make sure everything was okay. Once we arrived in Nepal, we were received very well. They took the time to inform us about the itinerary and make sure that we could change whatever we wanted. They also made sure we had everything we needed. So we felt very much in control, even though they made great suggestions.

Once the trip started our guide (Ramchandra Godar) took care of everything. He gave great advice about food, clothing and anything else, and made sure we were alright every step of the way. We also enjoyed playing card games and just talking a lot with him!

All in all this was definitely one of the coolest experiences that we've ever had. And Nepal Gateway Trekking played a very important part in this. Thanks so much!!
