If there were 10 stars, I would give 10 stars! I was under the care of Trekking Team Group for 2 weeks, and I had the most amazing time. First week as solo traveler, second week with a friend. Everything was taken care of professional and considerately. Shree and his team are simply the best. Everyone I was with was kind, honest, professional and excellent at answering all my questions. I can not recommend them higher - look no further!

Wow, where to begin?!! From the moment of being met with at airport by Shree and our driver Kim, we knew we were in great hands. The experiences we had were something I'll treasure for the rest of my life. Shree was an absolute gent at all times, always ready to have fun, very knowledgeable and above all, flexible. Our driver Kim was also immense, quite probably the most patient driver in the world, very articulate and knowledgeable himself. We visited temples, palaces, went trekking for 3 days in the foothills beneath Anapurna, went for safari in Chitwan National Park, lived like a local for 3 days, danced, prepared super, went fishing watched by elephants (!), ate in some amazing restaurants and stayed in a mix of hotels and bed and breakfast establishments and lots more. Our schedule was packed, we came away absolutely blown away by the country and the people. Shree and the team absolutely aced it for us and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you my friend.

Of all the trekking companies to choose from in Kathmandu I chose Trekking Team Group ( I had researched 35!!). Why? Because they not only were they very friendly and professional they are an environmenally responsible firm who also help local communities through a number of community projects. Trekking Team Group provide gourds and steri pens to avoid the use of plastic bottles throughout the trek, which helps the local environment as there are many tourists. From the beginning Trekking Team Group were very friendly and professional, nothing was too much trouble . Our guides and porters were always there for us and took great care of us along the trek . We consider Trekking Team Group to be more than just a trekking company they are our friends. They offer a forst class service and genuinely care about you. This will be our fifth year trekking with them.
Thank to Shreehari, Norbu, Tashi, Little Arjun ( there is also big Arjun)!, Tikka, Nima, Passang and Lakpa for your friendship and good service over the last five years. looking forward to seeing you again this autumn.

My husband and I run a boutique tour business and have just concluded our third “Best of Nepal” tour to Nepal hosted by Trekking Team Group. Again, the organisation was superb, the quality of accommodation selected for us was excellent and any unforeseen incidents were sorted very promptly and without fuss. The trip went like clockwork, and we were very fortunate to have founder and company director, Shreehari Thapaliya, accompany us for most of the tour. He is passionate about his country and his professionalism and knowledge are exceptional. This filters down to his staff who are all delightful personalities, friendly, responsible and caring. Thank you Shreehari and Trekking Team Group for a truly wonderful experience. We look forward to another visit to Nepal very soon.

Additional Information

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US.  This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.

What makes this trip different ?

Trekking Team Group is the major supporter of Ambe Foundation, an apolitical and not-for-profit organisation. We contribute our support for the development of some community schools in remote villages in Nuwakot district. We have been supporting Gramin Devi School and Khumbeshwori School, both community-based educational institutions, through donation, sponsorship and partnership in various projects.

Donation

Trekking Team Group donates one percentage of its total business profits to the foundation on yearly basis. The donated amount supports the ongoing maintenance of Gramin Devi School and Khumbeshwori School in Nuwakot.

Sponsorship

One of the major activities of Ambe Foundation is the children sponsorship programme. It is conducted in full collaboration with Trekking Team Group.

Partnership (Volunteering Program)

The Ambe Volunteer Programme, organised by Ambe Foundation and Trekking Team Group, aims to mobilise teams of experts and interested individuals effectively for education, health and community development in Nuwakot district.
