Clients Review

I highly recommend working with the team at Nepal Mother House Treks if you are considering any treks in Nepal. They are extremely responsive, clear in communication, helpful, and enjoyable to engage with. We were assigned Pratap as our guide, and I cannot say enough about Pratap's professionalism and skills. He was very knowledgeable on all aspects of trekking and the Annapurna Base Camp Trek we completed, and he was very enjoyable to spend 5 days with! Ask for Pratap, and you will not regret your experience!
 

Geweldige trip (Nar Phu Valley, Kang la Pass, Annapurna Circuit, Tilicho Lake)! Ontzettend goed georganiseerd en meedenkende staff, zowel ikv de voorbereidingen thuis (paklijst, flexibele startdata adhv onze vlucht) als ter plaatse. Op elke bestemming en in elk tea house waar mogelijk de beste accomodatie, en elke avond na het eten vers fruit! Zeer attente en behulpzame gids en drager waarmee het elke dag een feestje was. Overige zaken zoals transport van/naar airport, hotel, bustickets tussendoor enz allemaal goed geregeld. Zelfs onze paragliding trip na de trekking werd incl transport voor ons geregeld.

Nar Phu Valley Trek with Annapurna Circuit

We had a wonderful trip! Jayram and Kishor took excellent care of us. The trekking was beautiful, and our guide could give us a lot of information about the mountains, wildlife, and Nepali culture. The food was good, and they provided us the best accommodations during the Nar Phu Valley Trek with Annapurna Circuit trip. We felt safe, and our guide was well informed about the circumstances during the trek.

Nar Phu and Kang La Pass

Great hike; very easy to organise everything with Karna.

Sameer, my guide was excellent, had outstanding knowledge of the area, and made the Nar Phu and Kang La Pass hike very enjoyable.

I did the 3-passes trek with Nepal Motherhouse, and they were a delight. Karna was very responsive and set everything up perfectly. I met my guides Aidhan and Ratnam in Lukla, and for the next 3 weeks, they looked after me like family.

Highly recommended and plan to book again!

Having both travelled extensively, we can honestly say this was our best holiday ever and truly an experience of a lifetimetime .

It was all down to the company—mainly two things . Karna and Sab .

Prior to booking, we explained what we liked and were looking for, and from this, Karna planned an amazing ABC trip with Poon Hill for us and was so flexible with our last-minute change of plans. He really understood our needs and the trek was so well tailored—neither too easy nor too difficult . Karna was also easily contactable when we first had to learn how Nepal worked !!

Sab, our guide Sabut, as we nicknamed him, was bloody fantastic... He also gave us nicknames, Didi and Baheni, which again added to his personal touch. His cheeky sense of humour shone throughout, and he made sure we enjoyed every step of the way. Sab chose excellent accommodations that cooked the freshest food (not many other companies did this). We not only learnt about the Annapurna trail from Sab but also how life and nature are... and the odd word in Nepalese—including one we can’t repeat 🤪

We can’t recommend Nepal's motherhouse trek enough and its people; we certainly will send friends and look forward to returning.

I cannot recommend Nepal Mother House and Jay as guides highly enough. Before the Luxury Everest Base Camp trip by Hecioter began, they worked with us to customize an itinerary based on our time constraints. Jay could not have been a better guide and our porters were truly great. When we encountered difficult travel conditions at Lukla while trying to return to Kathmandu, the team worked wonders to get us to our flights home on time.

Nepal Mother House and Jay made our trip incredibly special and memorable. If you are considering exploring Nepal, I urge you to use Nepal Mother House and request Jay as your guide.

We had a wonderful time doing the Annapurna base camp via Poon Hill as a mini-circuit. Karna was very helpful and responsive during the planning! And Pratap was a great guide, looking after us all the way around. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to our next trek!

My wife and I did the Manaslu Circuit with side trips from late September to mid-October, lasting 20 days. It was a fantastic experience for both of us! It was certainly the richest, most challenging, and most rewarding travel experience I’ve had, and we are very grateful to Karna, our guide Jayram Magar, and our porter, Kishor Thapa Magar.

Karna was very helpful in providing all the information we needed, responding very promptly to any enquiries, and there were no hassles when we decided to change our itinerary to the Manaslu Circuit with side trips about a month out instead of via Tsum Valley. We’re really glad that we made the change, as having the side trips factored in gave us a lot of flexibility to make changes to the itinerary as needed during the trek.

Once you’re on the track, you’re in the hands of your guide and porter, and we couldn’t have been happier with both. Within a week, we had created a strong bond as a team, and by that time Jay was saying, “We are family," so naturally the Sister Sledge song became our anthem!

Our first real challenge was the side trip up to Serang Gumpa. Apart from climbing almost 1000 m in a day, there were hundreds and hundreds of steep steps we had to climb in steady rain (the first day of the terrible Nepal floods). It was also the first time hiking up to 3000 m for both of us. We stayed 2 nights at the gumpa, and it was a glimpse into a culture (Tibetan Buddhism), which was much as it would have been for hundreds of years, except for the mobile phones! The setting is absolutely extraordinary, and the full day we spent there was unforgettable.

As a result of the floods, there were many landslides on the track back to Bihi Gaun after our stay, and 2 sections especially were hair-raising, with only a sliver of unstable track left and a steep drop of hundreds of meters to the river below. Jay and Kishor showed great skill and care in keeping us safe, for which we were very grateful.

Although we didn’t end up doing 2 of the longer, very demanding side trips, the upside of this was the flexibility it gave us in adapting our itinerary to suit our needs. Jay was very helpful in making suggestions when we would discuss the plan for the next day, so that we ended up staying in places that worked really well for us and going at a pace that was manageable. Although we were both very fit, the reality of being in your early-to-mid 60’s is you don’t have the same energy and drive as a 20-year-old!

The biggest day on this trip is undoubtedly getting over Larke Pass, which we managed after a great deal of difficulty for myself (aa combination of factors). Jay stayed with me the whole time, gently making some helpful suggestions that made a real difference to me getting over the pass. We again changed the itinerary so that I didn’t need to walk any more that day after getting down from the pass, and the rest of the trek worked out beautifully.

Something I wasn’t prepared for was how rich and wonderful the cultural experience was, both in terms of cultural understanding and interpersonal encounters. The mountains really sang to us, and so did the culture and people of these Himalayan valleys.

The originally planned post-trek celebration dinner (included in the package) became a celebration lunch in the following week, which suited us all better. And we had a wonderful time eating Tibetan food and enjoying a special Tibetan drink afterwards.

We highly recommend Nepal Mother House treks! We would walk with them again in a heartbeat!
 

At the start of the trip, we lost a few days waiting on the weather in Lukla (heavy cloud grounding flights)
Our guide Kul managed to make up the time; we walked longer days and did acclimatization hikes when we arrived at the end of each day. We made it to EBC on schedule and managed to make our flight out of Lukla as well. Amazing work, Kul!

Obviously, the landscapes are amazing; every day you walk through really beautiful mountain landscapes. The temperature and kind of environment change a lot from the start to the end of the hike. Initially, you walk through lush and shaded pine forests, which give way to alpine deserts and finally rocky mountainsides.

The accommodation covers your basic needs, and we rented sleeping bags from Nepal Mother House Treks, which was definitely something worth doing, especially on the colder nights.

The whole experience was as smooth and easy as walking to Everest Base Camp can be. Would recommend!
 

We hebben net de langtang valley trek achter de rug van (normaal) 9 dagen. We hebben net de langtang valley trek achter de rug van (normaal) 9 dagen. Het weer sloeg om op dag 3 aangezien we in het moesson seizoen de trek deden. Karna, de eigenaar, was enorm vriendelijk en regelde een kortere trek van 7 dagen ipv 9 dagen. Ze waren heel erg flexibel, waarvoor dank! Ook onze Gids Jayram en porter Dipak waren heel behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Zou deze trek zeker aanraden. Doe deze trek in 7 dagen als je houdt van actieve dagen, als je niet te veel op 1 dag wil wandelen is 9 dagen beter.

Karna Rana was very professional during the booking and preparation. The guide Sabut and his cousin Porter Ganesh were very kind, easygoing, and knowledgeable. They were friendly with hotel owners and I felt included when eating with them in the kitchen. Although the mountains were often cloudy in the afternoons, we had good views during the mornings and only two days of light rain during the 19 days of the trek. I enjoyed the Manaslu Circuit side trips to Serang Gompa, Kal Tal, Hinang Gompa, and Pungyen Gompa. I had heard of Milarepa caves in Samagaon, and Sabut, with the help of local villagers, was able to find them. Very recommended guide, porter, and trekking agency!
