Clients Review

From the moment we entered the office of the agency, we knew we were in safe and capable hands. Mister Karna spared no time in making sure we were well-informed on all aspects of this track, all possible routes and excursions we could take (depending on our fitness levels), and every little detail we needed to know before we started. We decided to only go with a guide (as we didn't need a porter's help) and were a little nervous beforehand because we are a bit of a shy pair. In just a few hours, it became apparent that there was absolutely no reason to be nervous! Having Suman, our fantastic guide, with us felt like we had simply planned this trip with a very dear friend, who just happens to be knowledgeable on all aspects of this Himalayan adventure!

We spent so much time just having great talks along the way, laughing and joking when it got difficult to walk, and playing games after the day ended! Even so, Suman had the answers to all of the questions and really went over and beyond for us - from preparing amazing fruit decorations in the evening to making sure he inspected the rooms before accepting them on our behalf, to even riding at the back of the jeep so we didn't have to wait for the next one...

We have traveled around the world, but we have never seen anyone go to such lengths for their clients. We are humbled and awed by the hospitality and professionalism we were shown! Seek out Suman if you are in search of not only knowledge and reliability, but a friendly, fun, and intelligent person with an abundance of good energy!

The ride to EBC, in comparison to a flight, gives you a good opportunity to see the country and some spectacular landscapes. Endless rice fields on hills and strong rivers, as well as experience Nepal outside of the tourist zones. The first day of the trek goes through local hillside roads and is a very unique trek route compared to the rest of the trip. So if you have some extra time and are patient, leave the convenience of a flight for a bit of a different adventure. I'd be a little sad if I didn't experience it myself. :) 

Following our friends’ advice, we decided to embark on the adventure of the Manaslu circuit. We were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of the Mother House Trek agency and this at all stages of the organization of the trek: pre-booking information, reservation, personalized welcome at Kathmandu, and the attention and care all trip long. Our guide Jayaram and porter Deepu made our trip memorable. We faced many unforeseen circumstances on the road due to bad weather and we always felt safe. Jayaram and Deepu were able to share their love for Nepal and we easily bonded. Our first trek in Nepal was a success! The Manaslu circuit is full of memorable landscapes and we received a 5-star service throughout the trek (private room, private bathroom when possible, souvenirs of the trek with personalized certificates, etc.). We thank our friends for the recommendation and highly recommend this trekking agency to anyone. We will come back!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish: crazy bumpy ride in the jeep, subtropical vegetation in the lower parts, bath in ice cold stream, waterfalls, hanging bridges, teahouses, snow-covered peaks, a hint of altitude sickness, just enough to tell you you're halfway between the sea level and the 8000ers' summits, herds of yaks, a match of football with Nepali porters on the stone courtyard of the school in Shyala, stars and sunrise during ascent to the Larke Pass. And Bom - a great guide. Bom, thank you, it was a great trek. Looking forward to walking with you again.

Wow, where to start? My husband and I had the best experience booking our Manaslu Circuit trek with Nepal Mother House Treks. It was important to us to go with a company that was Nepali owned and operated, which this company is.

Booking was a breeze, and owner Karna was so helpful in walking me through the payment process, despite the time change from Canada to Nepal. We felt so welcomed and taken care of in our orientation process, and our Guide Michael and our Porter Thulkancha made the whole trip such a pleasure!

We ran into very inclement weather about 4 days into the Circuit and decided to turn back due to rain and landslide activity. Michael was so awesome for quickly arranging an alternate trek for us to Annapurna Base Camp. He took care of accommodation and transportation across Nepal, and was an excellent and informative guide throughout the whole trip! We learned so much about the culture and history of Nepal having a guide, more than we could have gleaned from travel blogs and books, and were very happy to have a porter too. And since we weren't able to complete the Manaslu circuit, it just means we have to go back to Nepal now! And we plan to book again with Nepal Mother House Treks.

We did the Manaslu circuit trek at Nepal's mother's house. From the moment we got picked up at the airport by our guide Subarna until we were dropped off after the trek we were made to feel extremely welcome and looked after by the agency.

Karna, the owner, was really open and honest with us about bad weather that could have disrupted our trek - luckily it worked out for us but the communication was excellent in terms of explaining the situation and offering alternatives. Also, we had already paid our deposit for October 2020 but couldn't do the trek due to the pandemic. Karna acted with huge integrity, assuring us that our deposit was safe and could be used whenever the pandemic abated which turned out to be two years later.

Our guide, Subarna gave us a great experience on the trail. As well as being great company and teaching us about the mountains and local customs, we witnessed how hard he worked to organize everything, make sure we were safe and ensure our accommodation, transport, and food were all arranged smoothly so we didn't have to worry about a thing. A really really incredible breathtaking experience made even better by Nepal's mother's house.

Magnificent trek, breathtaking and varied landscapes!The agency was very helpful, everything was well organised, and the guides were very attentive to our rhythm!I recommend it with my eyes closed

Trek de 11 jours extraordinaire, longue approche de 9 jours en traversant plusieurs vallées avant d'arriver au col à 5100 m d'altitude! Des paysages à couper le souffle!

Pour mon 3° trek au Népal, celui-ci était le plus beau!

Agence au top, facile à contacter et conciliante!

Pour un pays où il peut être difficile de s'orienter, tout était organisé et c'était très appréciable!

Pour un groupe de 3, nous avions 2 guides Jayram et Bom, qui se sont adaptés à notre rythme de marche, et ont prit soins de nous tout au long du trek, pour s'assurer de notre bonne santé et que nous profitions au maximum!

Extraordinary 11-day trek, 9-day long approach crossing several valleys before arriving at the pass at 5100 m altitude! Breathtaking landscapes! For my 3rd trek in Nepal, this one was the most beautiful! Top agency, easy to contact and accommodating! For a country where it can be difficult to orient yourself, everything was organized and it was very appreciable! For a group of 3, we had 2 guides Jayram and Bom, who adapted to our walking pace, and took care of us throughout the trek, to ensure our good health and that we made the most of it. !

I was provided with an excellent guide to visiting the ‘hidden valley’ to the North of Manang - close to the border with Tibet.

The Nar-Phu trek is less traveled and access is restricted. The arrangement with NMH was faultless and was customized to my personal requirements and extended itinerary. Moreover, Subarna, my English-speaking guide was the perfect companion. In addition, he kindly carried some of my gear to help

lighten my load. I really could not ask for more. We had so much fun and, despite the age difference, had a great time! It helped that we enjoyed perfect weather.

Having previously trekked quite extensively in Nepal this trip turned out to be one of the best. I am most grateful to Karna at Nepal Mother House Treks for all he has done to provide me with such an awesome trip. Once again it was excellent value for money and have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Great people doing their utmost to showcase the very best in trekking in Nepal.

Highly Recommended.

Great opportunity to see Nepal on your way to Namche.

I found this bus (more precisely - jeep) opportunity while searching for routes to Namche other than Lukla air flight.

The Kathmandu to Lukla Jeep route itself goes through picturesque Nepalese landscapes, reminding me of the Altai region (Russia) and Switzerland. The first ride (Kathmandu to Salleri) takes around 10 hours, on asphalt road. Then around 6 hours more to Tham Danda across beautiful mountain area - but be ready for bumpy road :) Jeeps are spacious enough and ready to carry out the task. Please, do not expect some fancy Land Cruiser, these are just decent off-road jeeps.

The trek from Tham Danda to Cheplung is really authentic, and the scenery is breathtaking. Prepare for some rocks, mud, and mules traffic, as well as stunning valley views. That’s not the easiest part, but can be done in 1 day with no problem.

A few words about guys: they are the most informative and honest travel agency I’ve ever met. I would like to express my gratitude to Subarna and Karna Raven for their support throughout my stay in Nepal.

Wishing everyone nice trekking and best of luck.

Actually, we planned the Manaslu circuit trek right before the Covid outbreak in 2020 and had to cancel back then.

After two years, as the entry policies in Nepal relaxed, we started looking for a tour operator to organize our journey. Since we were traveling during the school holidays for our son (2 weeks in total), we had a limited amount of time and wanted to find a company, which could take over all the paperwork on one hand, and provide us with an intensive itinerary on the other. Nepal Mother House Treks fulfilled both demands, remaining very competitive in price, and accepting credit cards for a prepayment to guarantee the booking.

We were met at the airport arrival gate, accompanied and supported throughout our stay in Kathmandu, and brought to the airport departure gate.
And of course, the mountain trekking became an unforgettable experience. For those who want to experience the natural beauty and traditional lifestyle of mountain inhabitants of Nepal, surrounded by Tibetan Buddhism sights, rivers and springs, jungle flowers, and the highest mountains on our planet, the Manaslu circuit should be a perfect fit.

Our guide Jayaram planned our route at its best, was always ready to accommodate for any ad-hoc changes and provided us with great historical and cultural background during our trip.

We've had an amazing experience with Nepal Mother House: from the email exchanges to organizing the Short Manaslu Circuit trek to the trek experience itself. Communication was always very smooth, prices were fair and most importantly our guide Sabut and porter Rajesh were the friendliest and most attentive people!
Would recommend this agency and itinerary to anyone.
