Review

I’ve now done two treks with Trekking Team and they have been really amazing. They professionally organized and scheduled a great plan for my level of fitness and my availability, and the guides were very knowledgeable, safety conscious, helpful, and really fun to trek with! They really took care of everything, not just the trek itself. They made it really easy to get into nepal, get around in kathmandu, go sightseeing, shop for the best gear, find good food, follow the local custom and understand the culture, and they chose great hotels to stay at as well.I’ll definitely go with them again for my next trek!

We did the Manaslu circuit with Tsum valley an booked directly on site in the office in Kathmandu. Very good advice from Shree. The trekking is very well organized, Hari and DK were great companions – we felt very comfortable the whole time. Due to snowfall we could not cross the pass although we tried at first. Came up to almost 4900 meters above sea level. The whole time we felt safe and well looked after. We’ll be back for sure! We can warmly recommend Trekking Team Group.

First or any-time in Nepal? Go Trekking Team Group!
As a “first time to Nepal group” we did a research about trekking groups etc. before flight and finally chose TTG on recommendation of our friend. After our landing in Kathmandu we just knew that everything will be alright, cause these guys from TTG rocks! They covered everything, truly everything, from the very first pick up at the airport with a bunch of stuning flower necklases, over whole trek up there to a final good bye :). Our guide, Birman (no Beerman! More like NObeeratallman), did a stunning job and after a few hours we felt like 6 friends on the trip rather than 5 tourists and all knowing guide. We did some interesting sightseeing in Kathmandu and at the end of the day moved towards the mountains. In Lukla we got accompanied by 2 local porters, really calm, friendy and quiet (till we played cards against them) guys and trek was finally on! We did Renjo La trek with these guys in absolutely stunning weather.In following part I will try my best to answer your silent questions, ok?Do you want to know everything about Yetti? Go with TTG!Do you want to learn at least basics (no chance, sorry 🙂 ) about all the gods and their reincarnations? Go with TTG!Do you want to try to live as native and collect Yak s@*t into forehead carried basket? Go with TTG!Do you want to play card games like a master after two weeks? Go TTG!Do you want to try the best local MOMO dumplings and dal bhat (by your bare left hand)? Go TTG!and finally…Do you want to experience the himalayas with respect for native people and nature?Then pick Trekking team group and enjoy!Guys, many thanks for your support and work,greetings from the Czech Republic

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!

Great place to pick for your trek. They keep you well informed about every aspect as well as the guides and their professionalism regarding trekker safety, especially during the higher elevations. They don’t harass you on the street like most trekking companies in Kathmandu, which is much appreciated.

I had a great time on the Langtang trek. My guide and porter were friendly and provided everything. The views are extraordinary. I will like to return in Nepal and go on another trek with them. I took us 3 days to reach Kyanjin Gompa, while going up trough a beautiful jungle, full on monkeys and beautiful birds. The guys from Trekking Team Group were friendly and careful, always trying to take care of me. We discussed about the local culture, plants, animals and beautiful summits. I would for sure recommend Trekking Team Group, and also Bijay and Ravi , my companions on the trek

Just get back from a 4 days trek in the Annapurna. The whole family (2 kids) really enjoy the journey to poon hill. Birman our fellows guide was really nice helpful and friendly. You can not go wrong to go with this company !!!

We had a very interesting and good experience with TTG. They followed our wish to make a flexible trip with possibilities to take day hikes, side trips and so on. We visited the world second highest bungyjump place (did not try it though but fun to look at), Kalopeni (with view of 2 Mountain over 8000m!), beautiful and quiet Titi lake, Marpha (charming Apple Town) Muktinath (cold but very intens religious atmosphere at the temple), Jomsom (views from the hotelroom of the small planes land and arrive at the airport strip) and hot springs and a waterfall in Tatopeni. First we planned on going with just a jeep and a driver. But we decided to take a guide with us. And this was a really good idea! The guide Bijay Pathak, was very good to find places we liked, both when it came to accomodation, day hikes, food we should try and so on. He was ready to change the itinary if he or we heard of a good place to visit, or when one of us got sick for a day. He even brought carsick medicine for our daughter (he is a pharmacist apart from guide). He was very good with 3 our kids (6, 8, 11 years) and they played a lot of cardgames with him! We also will like to highlight our driver. The roads in Lower mustang was very bad some places when we were there. And it is very bumpy and narrow. Our driver was very experienced (12 years experience in that area). We felt safe with him. He also had some good ideas and tips for places to go and hotels and restaurants to visit. All in all our warmest recommendations on going with Team Trekking Group on a family Jeep trip in the lower mustang area.

In October 2022 my wife and me spent a 3 week holiday in Nepal using the services of Treking Team Group ( TTG ) in Kathmandu and its speciality – Manaslu circuit. Before I will briefly describe what happened I have to write here down that this company is fully professional, with long history of serving their clients  from all over the world. After the arrival at the Tribhuvan international airport in Kathmandu we easily found the representative of TTG ( the nephew of the director ) who was already waiting for us in the arrival hall. He was waiting inside the building while the other companies have been waiting outside it near the parking place. I forgot to ask why but after the long all night flight it was pleasant to find our partner so quickly. After the short drive ( with a comfortable and clean car ) we were warmly welcome by Srihari – the director of TTG at the simple but comfortable Mandala Boutique Hotel near the Thamel – touristic center of Kathmandu. On the next day together Srihari and his nephew showed us the “best of” Kathmandu with interesting explanation of the history and presence of the Nepal capital. In the afternoon at the hotel they introduced us our trekking guide Hari and detailly explained our trip. They also were very helpful to buy some small missing things that we were supposed to have in the mountains. The situation up there was not ideal, better said it was complicated because of unexpected snowfall in the previous days and also because of massive landslides on the trek.

We agreed on slightly modified program because of all this unexpected issues and next morning we left the hotel for Soti Khola. Next day we started our 15 days trek of the Manaslu circuit with in four : my wife and me, our guide Hari and Omis – the porter. During these 15 days we not only passed the highest point of the trek : Larke Pass – 5109 meters of altitude but also did several whole day acclimatization but interesting side trips to the places like Punggen Gumba monastery, Manaslu Base Camp, Tibetian border, Ponkar Lake and many half day walks aside. During these 15 days we hade to declare several times that we have the best guide on the trek. Even in the complicated situations ( when some groups gave up and return ), like the massive landslide between Jagat and Deng, he always knew what to do and always found out simple and save solution. Real professional! Thanks to him we were able to fully enjoy the trekking days in the altitudes over 4500 meters and crossing the Larke Pass was nearly “icing on the cake”. During the days we did not have any altitude disease, diarrhea problems, lack of equipment, no uncertain points. And after more than 2 weeks in the mountains we were warmly welcome by Srihari in Kathmandu at the same hotel with a feeling that we returned home. Again TTG – these are guys that know what they are doing! Highly recommended.

Upper Mustang trek and Jeep tour
Hi, I had my experience with Trekking Team Group and it was really positive. We were a group of three and wrote them in the end of July for a quick planning of a trip to Upper Mustang mid August. The usual tour is scheduled to 12 days but we only had 8 days, so we came up with the specific request to have a mixed trekking-jeep tour in order to save time and fit it to our need. They were really quick to collect our request and set up an 8 days tour, leaving for Pokhara. The price they proposed was really competitive too. Our guide for those days was Bir and we had great time with him. He is very experienced and careful to our needs during the day, the treks, meals and places we slept at. He is also very passionate about letting us know the culture of the region and of Nepal in general. Always ready to answer to the hundreds of questions I was making him! Also, I think he was flexible to change the program of the trip according to our request: we wanted to trek “as much as possible” (still according to our physical conditions!) and after knowing each other, and having seen our ability and commitment to trek, Bir managed to arrange very beautiful trekking stages that suited out level. In summary, I really recommend to pick Trekking Team Group (and Bir!) for a trek in Nepal. I (we) will try to come back as well for some Himalaya experience soon!

Kaligandaki Valley trek in March
I did extensive research before deciding on Trekking Team Group and it was fantastic. Fast responsive, they advised me on alternatives based on my interest/time/budget. The experience on site was awesome. Guide, driver, car, hotels, lodges, hikes, food, was top notch. Birman the guide was resourceful, always in a good move and a mine of information on history, geography and spirituality. Good value for money. I look forward to more trips together.

The best family trek to Everest Base Camp!
What an amazing trek in the mountains with Trekking Team Group! we are a family of 5 and Shreehari, Ram, Dhawa and Chandra took such wonderful care of us. we have 3 youngish children (ages 13, 11 and 11) and they brought us such a memorable family experience that had a safety focus which we appreciated. Ram was a patient and informative guide, showing us the wonders of the trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp and pointing us nuances and subtleties along the way that we would never have noticed without an experienced and caring guide. Dhawa and Chandra lugged our families baggage and shared their experience and family stories, we were so grateful for their presence and hard work. Shree organized and managed the challenges of domestic flights despite complicated weather and COVID obstacles. Even after return to Kathmandu and end of the trek he continued to support us with charter flight information and liaison with travel companies to smooth our departure from Nepal. We’d recommend the services of Trekking Team Group to anyone coming to the area and hope to return someday to hike some more with them!

Tour of Chitwan using Trekking Team Group was delighted with the lovely accommodation and helpful driver they provided. We’d definitely use Trekking Team Group again and would recommend them to anyone else visiting Nepal.

I could not recommend trekking team group enough! We had a 20 days Island Peak Climbing and had the most amazing experience along with perfect guides. Our guides were knowledgeable on the area and local sites while always been there for a chat if needed. Every person in the group was really well supported from start to finish and would definitely return to Nepal to have another experience with trekking team group! Thank you Birman and Sancha.

Mera Peak
After Argentina cancelled the Aconcagua season, I decided to continue training and attempt Mera Peak. The trek is generally challenging but was further complicated by the on-going pandemic and complex rules of Nepal to ensure the safety of climbers during these times. I reached out to Trekking Team Group and Shreehari was fantastic in making all the necessary reservations and assisting with the process. After I made my reservations, Nepal relaxed some of the more cumbersome rules, especially around the visa process (when I arrived, they were beginning to issue visas at the Kathmandu airport instead of being required to have them prior to landing). I wanted to utilize the same guide, Birman Tamang, who assisted me with Everest Base Camp (EBC). Although Birman is not a mountaineering guide, Shreehari agreed and was able to arrange a very experienced Sherpa to guide us up the mountain during the final days of the trek. Also, given that I had already purchased most of my gear for Aconcagua, I decided to bring my own mountain climbing equipment instead of renting (which I would highly recommend). This added additional weight, so I opted to hire an additional porter to ensure that no one carried too much during the journey. We started with the usual flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and took the long way to Mera Peak (via Nashing Dingma and Chunbu Kharka) to provide additional time to acclimatize. The landscape is varied from forest to rocks on the side of rivers to mountains. There are many instances where you gain a few thousand feet of elevation only to lose it and make it up again in the same day. Physical preparation is critical but having a good sense of humor and openness to the experience to ensure that mentally you are prepared for the final part of the experience is key. There were a few teams that we heard about prior to our assent and the success rate was typically around 50%, so we knew it would be a challenge to get to the top. We had a thunderstorm in the hours before our final summit that turned into a snowstorm, which made each step up the mountain feel like three (and the only thing we saw reflecting in our headlamps was the newly falling snow). It certainly helped that the person who was tied to me at the other end of the rope was the same person who had gotten me to Everest Base Camp and I had spent the prior 12 or so days with getting to upper camp. We started our summit push at 2am and were on top of Mera Peak by 7am. Having last been in Nepal in 2018, there is a stark contrast with the low number of trekkers in the country today due to Covid. Mera Peak is typically a less traveled route, but we primarily only saw other trekking teams towards the end of our journey. Fortunately, many more people were starting their Mera Peak attempt during our final few days, so seems like there is a little recovery in the trekking industry. Nepal is very conscious of Covid with mask requirements, testing to enter the country and various other precautions throughout the experience. Shreehari was able to provide information and help that allowed me to complete an incredible experience. Trekking Team Group is a company that I would highly recommend today or whenever you feel comfortable traveling again.

I am planning to climb Mount Everest next year so this year i took some climbing course with organized by Trekking Team Group. I chose Island Peak climbing started from Chukkung which was of 5 days and really a difficult activities however worthy and helpful for next year Everest peak climbing. Thanks Shree for your wonderful support.

My Dad and I went to Everest Base Camp through Jiri with the Trekking Team Group guide Birman Tamang and the porter Dhaula. It was a fantastic experience for us. Bir was a wonderful guide who was on top of every little detail of our trek. He was extremely knowledgeable about the region and Nepal. He was also took care of very fine details regarding our trek, such as finding and purifying suitable water, helping us buy equipment we were lacking such as trekking poles and thermoses, which paths and routes would suit our particular group, advising us about food, gave us detailed briefings each night in the guest houses, and medical issues. He also stressed being positive, travelling at our own pace with small steps and breaks up hills, and being sensible and safe. He also managed to score a helicopter ride from Kathmandu to Lukla, unexpectedly. Bir was also a lovely person to talk to and be with separately from trek issues and is very respectful with everyone. He is from a mountain community himself and is also an excellent photographer, putting together great movie packages of his treks. He should be a movie star himself with his strong bearing and good looks

Everest short trek !!
The staff are excellent! Drivers, porters, guides and management all strived to deliver a great experience that was delivered with sincerity and friendliness in true Nepalese fashion. I would highly recommend their excellent services to anyone considering travelling in Nepal.

For the entire Pikey Peak trek we did not have to worry about food or accommodation as they had it sorted. They were always on hand to answer questions and have vast amounts of knowledge about the area so it was also an opportunity to learn lots too. Overall, a fantastic experience on a trek with some amazing views. Thank you Trekking team group.

Shreehari and Arjun are excellent guides and now friends. Knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating. Trekking Team will be the only group I use in the future and that I recommend to family and friends. This is a wonderful company, not only for trekking, but also cultural tours and visits of every kind.
