Clients Review

We hired Nepal Mother House for a 13 day/2 person trek to Everest Base Camp. They were an excellent tour company. Very personable and very accommodating. The initial contact and set up of the trip with Karna was very easy. Our guide Bom was very helpful and very friendly and also very accommodating to our needs.

We experienced issues with weather and getting both to and from Lukla. Bom was able to arrange a helicopter (at additional cost of course) to get us both to and from Lukla to keep our schedules on EBC track. This was very important to us as Nepal was not the only country we were visiting. We also received a credit for the unused flights as soon as we returned to Kathmandu.

When were not feeling well or needed to take a break during the trek, there were no issues. We always felt we were in control of our trip. They arranged all our meals and places to stay. We had no issues with either of those as well.

Bom was also very friendly and often hung out and played cards and chatted with us once we arrived. He was very helpful in describing the areas and mountains during the trek.

I would highly recommend using Nepal Mother House.

I emailed a few agencies and Nepal Mother house was by far the most efficient with the best english.

Our Trip: We did a 11 day trek of the Langtang Valley.

Price: Our pack was the best price I could find out of about 5 agencies.

Our Guide/Porter: Bibbek and Barbarum were fantastic. Bibbek could work on speaking a little louder but his english will improve with experience. They supported us when needed and left us to do our own things when we wanted to too. 10 out of 10 for them!!

All in all, I would 100% use this agency again. They were fantastic!! I hope to come back again one day :)

From our first contact with Nepal Mother House by email, my husband & I felt we were in good hands. Karna Rana’s responses were swift and clear. The pricing was also very transparent. Karna came to meet us when we arrived in Kathmandu and, due to impending strikes in the city, it was necessary to change our plans to travel by jeep the following day, all of which was dealt with very efficiently and we were on the road in under 24 hours.

Our guide Prem & porter Rudra were both wonderful. Not only were they excellent at their jobs, but they were both such good company. Prem was extremely professional and did everything to make our journey comfortable and enjoyable, sorting out accommodation & food, even cooking when necessary. Rudra was always cheerful and very helpful, and we made a very happy group together.

We feel very privileged to have trekked the Manaslu Circuit & the Tsum Valley at a time when the area is only just starting to develop. It is a truly beautiful region and the local people were so friendly and welcoming. The trek itself was a challenging, but very rewarding.
We had expected to enjoy ourselves; we did not expect we would have such an amazing experience.

We would have no hesitation recommending Nepal Mother House to others, and we will use them again when we return.

We used Nepal Mother House for our day 23 trek around Manaslu and Tsum Valley in November 2013. We had used this company three years previously for our trek around the Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary and again we received brilliant service.

Karna arranged all our permits efficiently and all transport links arrived on time. All our queries were answered quickly by e-mail.Our guide Bibek took great care of us and he makes excellent porridge.

Would not hesitate to recommend this company for your trek in Nepal.

We had a great trek to Everest Base Camp and were really pleased with how flexible Karna and Kapil (our guide) were. We booked the trip 1 week before showing up in Nepal and then made multiple changes along the way. Kapil was always happy to accommodate!

One of the best parts of the trip was that it was only my sister and I in a group. Many people asked how we arranged that and we always felt pleased it worked out that way. Then, people in bigger groups would tell us how much they paid and we felt even more lucky as we were on a private tour for much less!

Karna and Kapil made our trip to Nepal easy!

We trekked with Nepal Mother House for 24 days in November 2013 around the Manaslu circuit with an extension into the Tsum Valley. Throughout the arrangement of the trek and during the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Tsum Valley itself we received an outstanding service from Nepal Mother House. Karna was always swift to answer our questions prior to our arrival in Nepal and met us at the airport to take us to the accomodation that he had arranged for us. Our trekking permits were organised by Karna and by our excellent guide Kapil which allowed us to explore Kathmandu rather than spending our first day standing in queues. At all times during the trek we were looked after by our guide Kapil who quietly ensured everything (food, accomodation, buses to and from the trek etc) went to plan. Kapil's knowledge of the area surpassed that of any guide book and was invaluable when making changes to our itinerary during the trek, allowing us to maintain flexibility and to get the very most out of our trip. It was no coincidence that many of the other guides we met during our trek sought his advice! We were also pleased to find that both Kapil and our porter Dinesh were suitably equiped for the trek as this was something we had stressed prior to confirming our booking. They were both good company and hard working. We had an amazing trip which was made possible by Nepal Mother House who delivered on everything they said they would and at a very reasonable price. We would thoroughly recommend this agency.

Our trek was the Tamang Heritage Trail and Langtang. The thing I really appreciated was that in setting this up with Karna via email he was extremely prompt at getting back to me and always followed up. We had complete flexibility in working with the guide to determine the route and could vary it as served our needs. Karna met personally with us both before the trek, to make sure we were all clear, and followed up with us after the trek was over. The one thing I raised with Karna was he did ask for nearly all of the costs to be paid in advance which was a bit disconcerting given we had had only email contact. But it all turned out well as he both showed up, and provided all the services he had promised. His is a very reliable and honest guiding/trekking service. No surprises.

Nepal Mother House provided a brilliant service and support for our trek around the Manaslu circuit and exploring the Tsum Valley in October. Karna and our guide Bibek's understanding and knowledge of the area meant that we could be flexible with planning to take account of weather and availability but we were always confident that we would have somewhere to sleep and good food and warm hospitality. Beebek proved himself a very good cook as well as supportive in our walking (sometimes hard at altitude) and always full of information about the area and people. Both our porters, Prashek and Dinesh were also supportive, hard working and great fun to be with. The three of us (myself, daughter Jess and friend Danielle) felt quite bereft when we parted at Besisahar to travel to Pokhara. would definitely recommend the team and the agency.

Had a blast in Nepal, when traveling with NMH treks. The weather wasnt so good in june but had a few good clear days on the Gokyo Lakes Trek, and Kapi went to the peaks a few times ahead of me to make sure there was a view, so I didn't have to climb it, and be disappointed.

At the Gokyo peak I had altitude sickness and had to be helicopter lifted back to Kathmandu. Karna accompanied me a night in the hospital. That by far is the most a tour company has ever gone, that I have encountered. So thank you so much! I highly recommend NMH treks for their service!

We used Nepal Mother House for the Everest Base Camp trek in May and i could not have asked for a better experience. Our guide Kapil was excellent and looked after us very well, along with speaking great English. All aspects of the trek were taken care of including flights to and from Lukla, porter who was strong, kind and friendly, accommodation at each lodge and all meals breakfast lunch and dinner each day. In the months leading up to the trek, Karna replied and answered all of our inquiries and questions through email and also looked after us if we needed anything from lending us a Nepalese mobile phone to showing us around Thamel and bargaining for us during our shopping trips. Highly recommend going with this trekking company :)

We used Nepal Mother House for a 21 day March trip around Mt. Manasalu and up into Tsum valley. Karna was very quick and thorough in his responses to queries in advance of the trip. Bibek our guide and Sitaram our porter were both great fun to spend 21 days with and always very helpful. Bibek was extremely knowledgeable; he could be replied upon to know the height and name of every peak and when other guides were unsure whether certain teahouses and towns would be open (due to snowy weather) he always seemed to have inside knowledge on where to find the best open place! Great trip, excellent value, and a couldn't recommend more highly.
