Hi, I used Nepal Mother House Tours for two trips when I was in Nepal last Summer. First we did a 10 day trip to Langtang National Park. The guide, logistical setup and gave great advice on what to bring on the trip. We had a great time About a month later I set up another trip to Upper Mustang. We were gone 18 days and it required much more planning. Again, they gave me great advice, set me up with an outstanding guide , took care of all of the trip logistics and we had a trip of a lifetime. The other thing I can say about Karna is that he is a man of integrity, he punctual and organize a great trip for you at a fair price. Here is a link to an iMovie post of Youtube of pictures and short Video Clips made from my Langtang Adventure.

Nepal is a tough place for travel and prepare and expect the unexpected ...but it can be a life changing event

This was my first time in Nepal. I went with a friend who had been many times before. We chose Nepal Mother trekking because of their professional and courteous staff. My friend had used them before, and believe me they were great. We took a 25 day trek starting in Arughat Bazar up the Tsum valley, then back to the Manaslu Circuit up over Larkya La (5160 meter) high pass and down to Besi Sahar. The guide (and Owner) was great. He dealt with changing conditions on the trek, found us really nice places for overnight, and was very helpful on the trek. We did homestays in the Tsum Valley and he found us comfortable accommodations. These overnight stays really allowed us to get to know how the local people lived. We were able to communicate with them through the guide and find out about their families, their culture and their way of life. Just the experience of that part of the trip was worth the whole trip.

Karna (the guide) kept track of changing weather conditions along the route, and had us acclimated well by the time we reached the higher elevations. Even though I brought with me medicine for elevation sickness I did not have any need for it, since our guide did have us acclimated. To be honest I had never been that high in altitude and was very worried about that part of the trip, but like I said it was not any problems at all. The porters that the company hired were extremely helpful and friendly. We ended up learning several Nepalese card games and enjoyed playing them with the porters and the guide.

For anyone planning a trek I would highly recommend checking out Nepal Mother House. I was lucky to have such a great company for my first trek and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great experience for their trek.

When I plan to visit Nepal for the Everest Base Camp Trek, I browsed through the numerous 'Trek operators' in the net and Nepal Mother House stands out among the rest. there is good reasons for choosing Nepal Mother House - fast responds for all my queries. When everything was set, I was in Kathmandu with Mr Karna Rana himself at the Airport to meet me, a surprise indeed. Even though I was trekking solo, he provided me with an English speaking Guide and a strong porter. The three of us got along very well through out the Everest Base Camp Trek (14 days).

I am satisfied with the whole trip and the package which was tailored to my requirements. For the extraordinary service, I am returning again to Nepal for the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Base Camp Trek in March, 2013.

If considering trekking in the Himalayas, I would strongly recommend contacting Karna at the Nepal Mother House. This adventure company is very professional and Karna has a wonderful manor.

Initially we had arranged only a porter and guide through The Nepal Mother House. The connecting flights to Lukla and accommodation were arranged elsewhere. When we arrived in Kathmandu, we were informed that our flights were cancelled, this had a knock on affect on our accommodation arrangements and we were having difficulties with making alternate arrangements.

When we went to Karna's office to explain our dilemma, he took full responsibility of the situation and arranged all of our trekking necessities (and gave us tea).

We found ourselves with extra days in Kathmandu due to the changes so Karna kindly took us on a tour of the Temples and the city highlights and ensured we had an excellent experience of Kathmandu as well as the trek to Everest base camp.

His spoken English is excellent, which is priceless when you find yourself in the overwhelming City of Kathmandu.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Nepal Mother House,

We have been trekking in Nepal twice, successfully completing in Nov/Dec 2010 the Annapurna Circuit/Sanctuary trek and again in March/April this year the Tamang/Langtang/Gosinkund/Helambru trek. We are currently planning to return next year to do the Everest Base Camp/3 Passes trek walking out via the Arun Valley, Each time Karna and his team have proved invaluable in providing us with a 1st class service. They are professional,knowledgeable,highly efficient and lovely people and we would highly recommend them. So if you are looking for a personalized, made to measure trekking/adventure experience then Nepal Mother House is the company for you. Thanks again Karna, you and the boys are stars.

I was very lucky in April of this year to have Nepal Mother House Tours recommended to me. Annapurna Base Camp Trek was my first ever trek and so I wanted an enjoyable and well organized trip to the Annapurna Sanctuary. My motivation to do this trip was to raise awareness and money for underpriveledge children in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I set up a facebook event and asked Karna if he wouldn't mind posting daily reports of my progress, he did this conscientiously and with photographs from his personal collection. This allowed my family and friends to follow my 9 day trek to ABC. And have done Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp with Nepal Mother House Treks. To me this is was good service and yes, Karna did go the extra mile for my cause, thank you!

I went on a 5 day trek in the Annapurna area and Karna and his porters did a great job! They were so patient and helpful to me through those uphill stairs, snow and ice and ALL. The folks at Mother House helped make it an unforgettable trek for me!

While looking for the Everest Base Camp trek and a climb of Kala Pattar, I found a company (Nepal Mother House Treks & Expeditions) on the internet. They gave a fast response to my questions,, and they made me feel very comfortable in preparing my trip. Excellent services were provided in my first trip to Nepal. The guide provided good arrangements during the trip; he helped me a lot on the way and explained Nepal history, culture and he described the livelihood of the remote villages. I don't think I could have done the trip without their help, providing me encouragement along the way when I got tired. I recommend this Company to all travelers when visiting Nepal.

I went on an Everest trek with Karna Rana. It was just me, him, and a porter. I was in Nepal for 14 days (I wish I could have stayed longer) and Karna arranged everything, from the moment he picked me up from the airport to when he dropped me off at the same airport 14 days later. He arranged for housing, meals, sightseeing in Kathmandu and Pokhara, and the trek. I chose him as a guide based on the recommendation of some dear and trustworthy friends who had been on a trek with him before, and in retrospect I made a very good choice.

I was in Nepal in June 2011 and was very grateful for the staff of Nepal Mother House Treks and Expedition for their guiding services. I travelled to Upper Mustang with a friend and had a marvelous 17 day trekking experience in Upper Mustang. Karna was very professional and reasonable in his set-up for the trip and the fees associated with the trekking adventure. We had a marvelous experience with our journey to Lo Manthang in Upper mustang.

Lisa and Eric JohnsonOur party of 7 visited Nepal for the first time in November 2010 to trek for 5 weeks in Annapurna Circuit and what an amazing adventure we had. We were very fortunate to have been recommended a great guide and guy, Karna Rana. He along with other members of his company, Nepal Mother House Treks & Expedition, helped us plan our trek around both the Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary which we completed with great success. The advice and help given during both our email communications and once we arrived in Nepal was super, he understood our requirements and needs and carried them out professionally, effectively and efficiently.

From the time he met us at the airport (the flight was late but Karna had waited and with his friendly, calm manner, quickly got us transferred to the hotel with minimal fuss), to the time he waved goodbye to us at the end of the trip, full of Nepalese Magic , that is already drawing us back, his care for us during our time in Nepal and for both us and his staff whilst on the trek plus his extensive knowledge and experience enabled us to have a brilliant trip. I highly recommend Karna and their company.

Natalie Hatton Lisa and I enlisted Nepal Mother House Treks & Expeditions via the internet because we wanted all the funds to go to a Nepali company and we were not disappointed. All tickets bookings and permits were on time and delivered as promised for the Ghorepani poon Hill Trek. We found Karna Rana(our correspondent/ manager) very reliable, helpful, and fair when we wanted to change plans. The Guides, porters and hotels that were recommended gave very good service and advice. When you book somebody from the web you are taking a company on faith when you send a deposit. Nepal Mother House was very professional & proved to be very trustworthy. We have no hesitation in recommending Nepal Mother House Treks for your Nepal experience.
