    Poon Hill Trek

    We chose Outfitter Nepal after doing our research on trekking companies Nepal and we were not disappointed. Arjun and Raj were extremely hospitable and patient with our numerous questions.

    The 5-day trek was altered to 4-day for our convenience. Rajesh was a wonderful guide and most commendable was the effort he put into encouraging our daughter who had had quite enough at the early morning sunrise trek up Ghorepani Poon Hill.

    Ghorepani Trek in Nepal

    I had just 12 days in Nepal and thanks to Arjun and the team at Outfitter Nepal, it was an amazing well rounded experience. I started with a tour of the temples and culture in Katmandu, followed by a trek in the Annapurna ranges, I then headed into the jungle for some more adventure.

    As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and had no problems. My guides for the trek Suraj and Rames were fantastic with extensive knowledge of Nepal and even managed to teach me a bit of Nepali!

    The benefit of having Outfitter Nepal organise your trip for you is that you can really relax and enjoy your travels. I didn't have to worry about bus connections to travel around the country as they sorted it all out for me. I'd definitely recommend Outfitter Nepal to friends and family.

    I had such a great experience, I plan on returning to Nepal to do the Everest Base Camp trek in the future.

    Annapurna circuit trek in October

    I finished the Annapurna circuit this October. I had never been on a long trek before and spent several months worrying about the experience once I signed up for it.

    Fortunately Outfitter Nepal is an excellent company and the tour guide assigned was experienced and skilled.

    The lodging provided was excellent.

    Overall it was the best trip I have had.

    Annapurna Base camp Trek

    I spent ages getting quotes and reading reviews and recommendations of various companies and guides before deciding on booking a trek with Outfitter Nepal.  There are so many companies I was overwhelmed with the choice.  Fortunately Arjun was always very fast at replying and following up with me and gave us a good price so we decided to book our Annapurna Base Camp trek with Outfitter Nepal.  It is a Nepali owned and managed company which was important to us and Arjun was very patient with all my questions.  

    I am so glad we did!  We had a great guide called Hari who was fantastic - friendly, professional, experienced and keen to make sure that we were happy with everything.  Hari managed to secure good private rooms for us every night whereas we saw some other trekkers having to stay in communal dinning rooms or a communal tin shed that had been set up in some places or had to carry on to the next village for accommodation.

    Since we weren't having any trouble with altitude and were all feeling quite strong, Hari was flexible and managed to get us to base camp a day sooner than we expected.  We were not in any hurry so just took our time on the return journey.  Hari also took us to the hot springs and talked us through how it all worked in advance whereas we met some other people who had not been told anything by their guides and were a bit perplexed and overwhelmed by the experience.

    I was also impressed by Outfitter Nepal attitude towards safety and their own porters.  We were advised to put our things in one rucksack for our porter to carry and advised on weight restrictions.  We saw other porters being forced to carry suitcases or multiple duffle bags up the mountain which just seemed really wrong. Both our porter and our guide were well equipped.

    Our porter Rajan was like Superman - he was so strong and we really enjoyed playing cards with him and Hari in the evenings.

    We did see people travelling without guides but we also saw some of them get lost and go the wrong way and lose out on accommodation so I think it's definitely worth getting one. I know I also couldn't have done without a porter to carry my big bag either. Some people were carrying their own things and they looked like they were really struggling whereas we were just enjoying our trek.

    We also met a few people going in the opposite direction to what we were going - a much much harder route.  Most didn't have guides although a few of them did.  Whereas the route that Outfitters recommended to us was easier and made much more sense.

    We were so impressed with Outfitter Nepal that we hired another guide through them when we got back to Kathmandu which Arjun managed to arrange at shirt notice. Raj our guide was great, friendly and very professional. Again we thought that we wouldn't really need a guide but we definitely would have got lost without one!

    Both guides had been working with Outfitter Nepal for a long time which I think is a good sign.  Outfitter Nepal were also transparent and helpful when it came to asking about what we should be budgeting for our trip on top of their fee and in providing tipping guidelines which some other companies I contacted didn't seem to bother about.  

    Will definitely be using Outfitter Nepal again for any more trekking we do in Nepal and would highly recommend them.

    Ghorepani Trek is the best trek in Nepal

    We trekked to Ghorepani Poon Hill with Outfitter Nepal and would have no hesitation in recommending the tour. If we are ever lucky enough to go back to Nepal would definitely use them again. Our guide Raj was wonderful. Very friendly and spoke excellent English.

    He knew the trail very well, which was great as he was able to use his knowledge to motivate us on the hills. It was just my husband and I on the tour so we were able to walk at the pace which best suited our level of fitness. Raj also knew of the best places to stop for food, drinks and was on great terms with all the staff where we stopped to sleep.

    Raj has the great ability to lead the trip and be impeccably organized whilst doing it in a very friendly and casual fashion which allowed us to feel that we could take a breather/ eat whenever we needed.

    Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

    My trip with Outfitter Nepal to Nepal was in Nov 2014 but it will be forever an unforgettable experience.

    As soon as you can I encourage you to visit this amazing country but for now to keep these people in your prayers.

    Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal

    I spent 3 weeks trekking with Outfitter Nepal and I recommend Nepal and this company without any reservations. Arjun and his team were responsive, helpful and professional from beginning to end. They are completely customer focused.

    The trek details on their website and in email communications were complete and accurate in every respect from being met at the airport on arrival to being taken back there for departure. Their comprehensive trekking package really made everything painless and hassle free

    We trekked several days on the Annapurna Circuit but, because of the unseasonal heavy snow on the Thorung La, we had to change to a different trek. This was done in discussions with us and the Outfitter Nepal team quickly and efficiently made all the new arrangements.

    Our guide, Hari, was not only very knowledgeable and great company, but also spared no effort to ensure we got the most from our trip. This involved him in some extremely long days and in answering our seemingly endless series of questions! Thanks again Hari!

    This was my first experience of Nepal and I very much hope to go back next year on a trek organized by Outfitter Nepal.

    Tilicho lake trek in Nepal

    We did 21 Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho lake,  in April 2012.

    Best service from collection to the end.

    The Outfitter Nepal people are trying to respond to all special requests.

    As far as I've seen, the price-quality ratio is unbeatable.

    highly recommended!
