I did the Langtang-Helambu 18-day trek with Nepal Mother House in April 2019, a month before turning 70, and wouldn’t have missed it for the world – the most beautiful scenery on earth, IMHO. You certainly can do this on your own and save a little money. But it was worth it to me to have Jayaram, my combination guide and porter, carry most of my gear and handle the logistics as we went along. All I had to do was follow in his footsteps. We ran into weather – snow while ascending towards Laurebina Pass – and he had the knowledge and experience I lacked to decide to press ahead. We encountered a number of hazardous snow fields on our descent, and my guide gave me the confidence to cross them. (Hiking in the Sierra back home, I would have turned around.) I’m in good condition, and I didn’t find the Langtang Valley with Helambu hiking especially difficult. The living conditions were another matter. Do your research before going. Karna, the tour organizer, was easy to deal with and responded promptly to my inquiries before the trip.

All the connections in Nepal went smoothly. My tour did not include Kathmandu sightseeing, which Karna arranged separately for me. I found it a little pricey; you can probably book something there cheaper. Have an itinerary ready of what you want to see in the city. The NMH office is just down the block from the little hotel they put me up in. It’s all very much above-board and transparent to a visiting Westerner. I found the many Nepalese people I encountered, without exception, very warm and friendly. And loved the Dal Bhat! They’ll keep filling your plate with rice and lentils and veggies until you’re stuffed.

We really loved the Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley trek with Karna’s team - Ashok (guide) and Biraz (porter). We can only highly recommend their service, responsiveness and attention to detail. We have compared various agencies before choosing this one and are very happy. We also saw other guides on the trek and are certain now that we had the best. The company is also fair in terms of prices, guide was knowledgeable and we felt that we are in good hands. Next trip only with them!

I recently completed the NMH (Nepal Mother House Treks) 15 day Tsum Valley trek with guide Suman Magar. Tsum Valley is a beautiful enclave of Tibetan Culture. Thank you to Karna for his professional organization of the trek and the caring efforts of Suman in making every day enjoyable. The approach to this area is changing quickly as the Nepalese government blast a road high song the side of the Buddi Gandaki River towards Larke Pass. Once you detour from the crowded approach to Manaslu, you get a sense of the wild nature of the gorge that restricted access to Tsum for generations, as settlement was established via the Tibetan plateau. NMH is great organization for trekking in Nepal, and Karna is flexible with arrangements or changes that you wish to make. His honesty and efficiency was appreciated.

It was amazing; I really enjoyed the Chisapani Nagarkot trekking and my favorite place was Chisopani. The scenery was out of this world and the sun coming up in the morning brought a tear to my eye. Thanks to Guide Sabut. Without him, I don't think we would have made it. Thank you Karna for all your help and great advice. We hope to come back again.

We contacted Karna to organise our 14 days hike to the Manaslu circuit. Karna is really nice and we appreaciated our exchanges. Their price was very competitive.

We usually like to hike on our own so we were a bit afraid of leaving with a guide.

However we left for 14 days with Subarna. Subarna is just the best guide you can dream of. He is a smart person with lot of humour. He knows very well this walk and he has many contacts on the way (this might be very usefull). Subarna is always very professional : punctual, he will always be very carefull of your well being, he doesnt drink and doesnt smoke. He speaks very well english. With Subarna there will be no problems only solutions. He is lovely and you can only spend a great time with him.

We couldnt finish the manaslu because of the snow, however we loved our Manaslu Circuit Trek. We can only recommend you to go with Subarna.

Thank you very much Karna, Jay and everyone. Family of 6 doing 21 Day Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley. Highly recommend the firm. Karna was extremely professional with all our questions and arrangements. Our guide Jay and 3 porters were just wonderful, so caring about our needs and just wonderful with our 4 children aged 9-13. Highly recommended.

I travelled with NMH Treks and they were absolutely wonderful! Everything was organised without hassle and our guides were professional and had a wealth of knowledge of the areas and history. I fell ill during the Everest Base Camp Trip and the medical attention I received was swift and of high quality. The manager of the company even came to visit me in hospital on my return to Kathmandu! Although my time on the hike was cut short, other members continued on to have a wonderful experience hiking the Himalayas. I would definitely recommend this trekking company!

Two friends and I recently completeled the Annapurna Base Camp short trek. From before the trek, Nepal Mother House team was very responsive and very flexible with accommodation and dates as we only had limited time.

We had an excellent guide (Subarna) and porter. They provided an excellent service and were very flexible to accommodate the needs of the group. They were very welcoming and introduced us to their language, food and culture.

One of our members was very ill first two days of the trek but they made sure he was okay at all times and supported him throughout the trek.
The team organized all hospitality from food to accommodation through the trek, which made the trip much easier and more enjoyable for us.
I highly recommend Nepal Mother House and will definitely be back to do the Everest Base Camp with this amazing team.

Karna, and Nepal Mother House trekking company did an excellent job from start to finish for our successful 3-week trek to the north & south base camps of the remote Kanchenjunga area, in eastern Nepal in Oct/Nov 2018. I contacted Karna from Canada a couple months before, and was immediately responded to by email with thorough information about the trip. Karna was extremely helpful and responsive, even before any booking confirmation was made. We are 2 younger trekkers who are very independent, and have solid backcountry experience, so Karna fit us with a local guide from the Kanchenjunga area (Mingma Sherpa) who provided a great experience for us, while allowing us to have flexibility throughout the 3 week trip. I'd highly recommend both Nepal Mother House (Karna), Mingma Sherpa, and the Kanchenjunga trek particularly if you are looking for an independent-style trek in a more remote area of Nepal. With Kanchenjunga you get to start low in the foothills and climb up through spectacular mountain terrain, crossing one major pass to connect both the north and south base camps. Nepal Mother House assisted with all logistics starting from arrival in Kathmnandu, air transport to eastern Nepal, and private jeep/car to the start of the trek. Everything was well organized, and was at a competitive price point. Karna and his team are very trustworthy, and will take the time to patiently answer all your questions! A great company, offering fantastic treks, highly recommended.

3 dias de caminhada incriveis. A paisagem é uma delicia par aos olhos,o coração e um relaxe para a mente... A cada passo uma perspectiva diferente da paisagem mas sempre com um panorama magnifico. Fui fazer este passeio no inico de novembro de 2018... e fiquei com vontade de ficar mais uns dias por este mundo paradisíaco. O guia que nos acompanhou (Subaarna) foi uma simpatia. Muito agradavel. Ficava sempre na cauda do grupo e acompanhar os que tinham mais dificuldade. Muito responsavel e sempre prestavel. Adorei a experiencia.

My wife and I recently completed a 23 day trek around the Manaslu  Circuit with Nepal Mother House Treks and were very pleased with the overall experience. Karna, our trekking agent, was exceptional in organizing and tailoring the trek to our specific needs given we are an older couple and wanted to ensure we had amble time to acclimatize and take in the additional side trips the circuit had to offer. Our guide Ashok and porters were extremely friendly and always made sure our safety and comfort were a top priority. With Nepal Mother House you get a very competitive price but what stood out for us, was an experience that allows you to go off the beaten path and be immersed in the real culture.
