Client Reviews

Myself and my partner had a fabulous trip on our 10 day tour which started in Kathmandu with a very informative city tour then onwards to Pokhara to start our 5 day trek. The trek was outstanding and our guide Amrit was always smily and happy to help with anything we required.

Our two porters Sankar and Ranjeed were very helpful and lots of fun. It was sad to say goodbye to everyone after our trek finished in Pokhara.

I was nervous about booking a trip over the internet but the communication from everyone at Outfitter from the beginning of the trip until after the completion was outstanding. Our questions were always answered very quickly.

They were happy to help with extra flights (which they did not charge extra commission for) and also accommodation bookings. It was nice to meet everyone in the office.

Arjun (The co-founder of Outfitter Nepal) was very prompt in replying our queries via our email since the start. He provided very clear itinerary and detailed explanations on the preparations we will need in trekking the ABC. Payments/Booking was absolutely done in a professional manner and there wasn't any hidden fees/extra charge from the beginning till the end.

The beginning of our trip wasn't a smooth one - 2 out of 9 of us got their flights overbooked and had to detour to India. Outfitter went the extra mile by helping the 2 to make all the necessary arrangements (extra in-bound flight tickets, extra nights in Kathmandu, airport transfers etc) to ensure that the 2 friends got to meet the rest of the team to start the ABC trek from Pokhara together on time.

On arrival, we met the other co-founder of the company, Raj. He briefed us on the entire trip arrangement and make sure our expectations on the trip are well managed. Outfitter was very kind enough to lend us their sleeping bags & down jacket for free (trust me, if you come from a hot/tropical country like ours, your normal camping sleeping bags will freeze you to death on Annapurna Base Camp. So use theirs instead). Raj is a charming guy and he seems to know everyone on Thamel street. Ask him to help point you to the best restaurants in town - you wont be disappointed.

Our mountain guide - Amar Khan, was absolutely perfect. He's young, energetic, funny, and truly a great leader. He has tremendous amount of experience and we always felt that we are in good hands. Also, I think Amar is quite a good singer - he likes to sing while trekking, which adds to the fun and experience to our trekking as well.

Our porters are a great bunch of fun Nepali young boys, not only do they diligently carry our luggage. They added much fun to the journey through little interactions with us even though they speak very limited English. we sang and danced together with a little help of raksi (the local wine), and there many local Nepali and some guesthouse guests joined.

I strongly recommend everyone planning to visit Nepal to use Outfitter's service - you really will see and feel Nepal so much more.

And you will be comforted in knowing that the money you spent on your holiday will be earned by local Nepali people - who will appreciate it so much more than you'd know.

You will come to Nepal as a stranger - and left like you'd leave home and friends.

I booked my whole holiday in Nepal with Outfitter Nepal - cultural visits in Kathmandu Valley, Ghorepani - Poon hill trek, rafting, paragliding, Pokhara stay, etc.

First of all, I booked with them because I liked their answers to my initial inquiries - very quick, exhaustive, professional, and they really made an effort to tailor the tour to my needs and constraints. From my landing in Nepal to the moment of departure for the airport on the last day the organization was perfect (and I can be picky!): always on time, very reliable service, according to plan, with professional drivers, guides and other, and also leaving me enough free time to be on my own.

They also invited me to dinner on my last day, which I appreciated a lot because it was clear they cared about the feedback about the tour. I must throw in a special word for the guide I had in the mountains, Santosh, who was absolutely great, really knew his job, was very supportive and attentive, spoke very good English, and became a real friend. Being a solo traveler.

it was especially nice to have an interesting interlocutor as a guide, and they picked a really good one for me. I think I will go back to Nepal, as I would like to do another trek now that I got some confidence in my capacity, and I will definitely book with them again. I must say it was the best tour I have ever booked with a travel agency.

Thanks to outfitter Nepal for an amazing holiday. Your dedicated staff did an amazing job of looking after us.

They were very knowledgeable on all aspects of Nepal and were also very honest fun and caring in general. Coming from a customer service industry in Australia we take our hat off to you guys Always very organized prompt and efficient in every wayWe will highly recommend outfitter Nepal to our friends and colleagues.

Nepal is a beautiful safe country to visit and I hope the tourist will start to visit again as its a tough time for the locals without the support.

Looking forward to our next visit we love Nepal

I had one of the adventures of my life. My flight from KL to Kathmandu was overbooked, and had to transit to KTM from New Delhi. In the midst of the transit, my baggage got lost in between.

Raj (co-founder) was very helpful in reuniting my friends and I. Outfitters were also very generous in lending me their down-jacket and sleeping bag, which were of substantial quality.

I actually did the Annapurna Sanctuary without my baggage!

If it wasn't for Outfitters, I wouldn't have survived to witness a magnificent snowed Annapurna Base Camp.

We were recommended Outfitter Nepal from friends who had used them to do the Annapurna Khopra Trek. We liked a lot of the activities but were unsure how to fit bits of everything into our trip to Nepal.

We emailed Arjun who was so prompt in his response. We told him what we were interested in and he put together a custom itinerary for us. It was perfect! He set our expectations on weather conditions, hotels and service and took care of everything. Our day tour guide in Kathmandu was very knowledgeable and efficient.

The white water rafting was great! Chitwan jungle was extremely humid. Pokhara was great and clean. Nargakot would have been absolutely stunning had we have gone prior to monsoon season.
We had a friendly farewell dinner with Arjun where he was able to talk about our trip and we would highly recommend these guys! He really cared about our experience and valued our feedback.

My husband and I booked a special package tour with Outfitter Nepal for our honeymoon and from the absolute beginning of our emails with Arjun (one of the company directors) to their organizing a car to drive us back to the airport, we have had a fantastic experience.

Because we got this tour through a special deal provider, we didn't know what to expect and thought it might be a cheap abridged version of Nepal's sightseeing potential. But instead, we had an amazing itinerary full of cultural and historical sightseeing, then a challenging and very rewarding 5 day trek to Poon Hill, a relaxing 2 day jungle safari, and a lovely farewell dinner with Raj (company manager).

The itinerary was set out well: something low key, then a challenging trekking adventure, and then the opportunity to wind down again. The guides and porters from Outfitter Nepal were excellent: friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful. Within a day, our group (we had a perfect group size of 10) and the guides/porters were getting along like family.

My husband and I had arrived a day earlier than the tour was officially starting, and Raj had given us the option to go on an additional day tour to visit Bhaktapur and Patan which was great.

All our accommodation and food had been organised prior to our arrival; all our transitions between lodges and hotels were smooth and we didn't experience any problems or disruptions to our holiday at all.

Perhaps in the near future, Outfitter Nepal could add a small amount into the fees ($10 per person maybe?) to go towards helping porters purchase good trekking gear for themselves like footwear, clothing, rain gear etc. The porters are so hard working and wonderful, I personally would love to see them getting treated well. As mentioned, the porters we had with Outfitter Nepal were fantastic.

The trek level of difficulty was rated as 'easy' but for a Westerner of average fitness, I'd probably rate it more as 'medium'. Perhaps Outfitter Nepal could include a basic fitness guide to help tourists gauge if they can successfully complete the trek (example: how often do you exercise a week? Are you able to walk 5km a day with minimal difficulty? Etc). That being said, our trekking guide Santos was extremely patient and accommodating and reiterated that the trek was not a race and for everyone to go at their natural pace and listen to their bodies.

We are sad to leave this beautiful country and it's even more beautiful people, but are looking forward to coming back and traveling with Outfitter Nepal again. Thank you for your hospitality! We will never forget this trip!

My trip to Nepal was a last minute plan. A week before my departure I contacted Arjun at Outfitter Nepal about a short trek. He responded immediately with a descriptive outline for a 4 day trek. As it worked out.

Arjun met me the day I arrived in Nepal, where we made further adjustments to the plan due to certain restrictions I had, and within that same day he obtained the necessary trekking permits, flight reservations, accommodations and transportation. The next day we were off to Pokhara with our guide Raj for a hike to Ghandruk in the Annapurna Sanctuary.

It was an amazing adventure. Raj was extremely competent, knowledgeable, sociable, and cheerfully accommodated requests and last minute changes due to conditions on the trail.

This was the rainy season so we hiked in rain, mist, fog as well as sun and heat but the experience was terrific, the views incredible and we will have great memories of our adventure thanks to the organizational skills and professional service from the fellows at Outfitter Nepal.
