Excellent Trek with Outfitter Nepal
I recently visited Nepal in March of 2009. Intentionally I didn't look in the Lonely Planet guide, surf the website, or do any other form of preparation before visiting Nepal... I just simply arrived and let my trip unfold as the universe would have it. I traveled to 5 countries over 3 months this way. I am very grateful that I was divinely brought to NG and "Outfitter Nepal". I was treated fairly, and with generous amounts of customer service. I am most grateful for the amazing guide I was given: Naran (nick name: RAM). His English was excellent, his knowledge of Nepal very deep, and his heart was as big as they come. He truly embodies the NAMASTE spirit of Nepal, which is slowly becoming harder to find as consumerism becomes the new precious capital that is valued. We had a great trek, and I am forever thankful to him for his generosity of Spirit.
Thanks you NG, RAM, and the rest of the team for making my experience there so special. I hope you continue to model "people first and monetary success second". Selling by giving will always be the best long term model for your business success.
Namaste,

Fantastic Trekking with Outfitter Nepal!!!
I and my boyfriend had the pleasure of Arjun's company in February 2007 to Trek to The Base Camp of Annapurna which took around 2 week this included white water rafting on our way to Pokhara which was fantastic. We had 1 night in Pokhara before our trekking began and Arjun made sure we were prepared and ready for the following day. Arjun speaks excellent English which for us was great because he has very good knowledge of the Annapurna area which was very interesting, he had lots of contacts at each guest house along the way so this was good for us because we always got sleeping blankets each and had the pick of the rooms, e.g., nearest to the toilets. He introduced us to the local people living in the mountains which are experiences we will always remember. He looked after us every step of the way and we were so sad when we said goodbye as he is very easy to talk to and build good relationship with, we are planning another trip to Nepal this time to do the Everest Trek and there is no question that we will be going with. Of course, "Arjun" A really hard working guy who wants you to have a memorable trip and always puts your safety first. Thanks Arjun.

Very Great Trekking With Raj!!!
I have been on two treks with Raj. The first was a six day walk from Birethanti to Gorepani on the Annapurna circuit. Raj first proved his mettle when I left my backpack at our lunch stop on the trip from Kathmandu and didn't realise until about 10 minutes later. It took many fast conversations and then many buses for us to get to Pokhara after our bus kept going, but in the end I got my bag back. I felt stupid, but Raj always kept smiling and never once blamed me or held anything against me. As a guide Raj is very organised and very good at communicating what to expect on the trail. He knows a lot about the local landscapes and customs and can explain this very well. He organises everything at the Lodges that you will stay in on your trek, and some of the best fun I had was playing cards and chess with some of the Lodge owners who all obviously hold Raj in high regard. The thing I like most about Raj is his attitude to life and his easy laugh. There are times during a trek that can be physically tough, but I laughed a lot during both of the treks I have done with Raj and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Annapurna Circuit Trekking with Raj!!!
As far as guides go, I could not think of anyone better than Raj. Not only did he know every single detail about the trail (I think he knows every rock by its first name) but he was also a fantastic friend that helped us through the tough times we faced. He put in so much extra effort to make us comfortable that I often wondered why I should deserve such treatment. Thanks Raj, you managed to make the most physically demanding experience that I've ever had into an enjoyable holiday.

Annapurna Trekking with Outfitter Nepal!!!
Outfitter Nepal provided me with the outstanding service, The Guide, Bala was tremendous who helped me on the jomsom trekking. He provided me with lots of interesting cultural and historical information about each of the village that we passed through. It seemed that he has friends and contacts in each of the village. The scenery was breathtaking; it was also very enjoyable to mingle with fellow trekkers. Outfitter Nepal really comes through for me, as I was on a very limited time scale; they tailored a Himalayan trek that was well within the limits of my time frame. I will definitely use their services again on my next trip to Nepal. I highly recommend them to other prospective trekkers in the Himalayas.
