Annapurna Base Camp Trek & Chitwan National Park 2016

NIr and his team at Peace Nepal Treks did a wonderful job in looking after our group in November/December 2016. He looked after everything including guides, porters, accommodation, transfers etc. I would highly recommend using Peace Nepal Treks when visiting Nepal as they took away all the stress that comes with traveling in a third-world country.

Trekking in Nepal? Look no further

Nir and the crew at Peace Nepal Treks are some of the most honest, genuine, and helpful people you will ever meet. I was lucky enough to spend November 2016 in Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Bhaktapur, Namo-Buddha, and Thulo Parsel concluding with trekking Annapurna Base Camp and visiting Pokhara and Chitwan National Park.
Peace Nepal Treks made sure everything was taken care of, allowing me to enjoy everything Nepal has to offer without worry or concern.

Peace Nepal Treks' guides are experienced and passionate, they clearly pride themselves on creating an unforgettable travel experience for their clients!

Annapurna Base Camp Review

The most amazing experience of my life! Everything was so well organized and we were looked after and cared for so well. I'll miss Nir and his team so much! Definitely choose Peace Nepal Treks if you're planning to go!!

Annapurna Base Camp trek

Being highly recommended by one of our friends, me and my friends decided to engage Peace Nepal Treks for our Annapurna Base Camp trek in Nov 2016. Nir and his team at Peace Nepal indeed live up to their reputation. Email responses were quite fast and Nir is able to customize our trip to meet our preferences.

Our guide Shambhu and porters Nima, and Klapa were also one of the most passionate, playful, and reliable people we've met on our trip. Every single day on the trail was filled with fun and laughter. Shambhu himself is a very experienced guide and apart from bringing us through the trail safely and comfortably, he has good knowledge of the area, trail difficulty, and rest houses. He is also extremely humorous and very passionate about sharing his local culture with us and gave us a very memorable experience in the mountains

As far as I understand Peace Nepal also does other tours in Nepal. Highly recommended so do check them out if you are looking for a reliable and stress-free way of visiting Nepal

Annapurna Base Camp with this Amazing Trekking Company Dec 2016

Sorry, this is a long post. This is my second trek in Nepal. I did an Everest Base Camp trip in Dec 2015 with another tour company. I was ok with it. So this time, I tried Peace Nepal Trek. My friend got a flyer through her email and forwarded it to me. She hadn't used this company but after corresponding with the ever-patient Nir for several months, I decided to try it. I was so impressed with their service.

My Annapurna Base Camp trek begin in early December and lasted a shorter amount of time than I had booked. Only because one of my trekking partners was not able to complete the second section. More on that later.

Great Manager/Owner: From the first correspondence I had with Nir to my last meeting with him at the hotel right before departure, he was warm, kind, extremely accommodating, and professional. So on a personal basis, I was sold. He is a very community-minded individual. He has partnered up with organizations to build a school and has plans for building an orphanage for those children who lost their parents in the earthquake, and also a senior citizens home. If this is your interest, please contact him to see how you can help.

Value for your money: I didn't do that many comparisons shopping as I was sold on Nir from my first email and the reviews on TripAdvisor were outstanding. Before I received his name, I had looked into a few other trekking companies. While they were good, some were controversial, the pricing was a bit more than I wanted to pay. What I liked about this package is that I ended up paying for the food myself. On my previous Everest trek, the food was included. I felt I had more control over my expenses with the option of paying for my own food.

Guide/Porters: Last year, my guide was competent, unfriendly, and a bit chauvinistic. (I trekked with my daughter. This time, I trekked with my two female friends). I cut my guide some slack last year as he lost a few family members in the earthquake. I still gave him a generous tip because he got me to EBC and back in a safe manner. His personality was not the reason why I was trekking. The porter was very friendly.

My guide this year, Bil, the porters, Asal, AJay (not the way it's spelled but the way we pronounced it), and Raj were OUTSTANDING. They were friendly, kind, funny, and very responsible. Bil went beyond the call of duty. All 3 of us had different trekking speeds. Very difficult to herd the 3 of us. One was very fast, one was in the middle, and the last was very slow.

Bil stayed with the 3rd trekker the entire time. Singing to her, chanting, pointing out different sites, keeping up her spirits, and just being a great companion. He had to overnight with her in another village because she was too tired to meet at the planned village. Another time, he hired a horse for her so she could meet up with us. Once, he ran up to MBC (from pretty far away) just as we were leaving because Trekker 3 forgot to pack her gloves and hat that was in the main backpack. He carried her pack and sleeping bag (in case she had to overnight without us). The porters were fabulous too. One injured his knee and had to retreat, meaning the other porter had to carry everything. We only brought essentials so the porter would have 1 backpack to carry for all 3 of us. He never complained, was still happy, and most of all, he gladly assumed the role of guide for trekkers one and two. The 3rd porter met us on the way down when we had collected all our packs. He was great too.

Flexibility: Peace Nepal Trek is extremely flexible. I wanted to add Poon Hill, the hot springs, and ABC all in one 10-day trek. Nir worked out a very nice package for us. Although once we started trekking, it was apparent that we wouldn't be able to accomplish the Poon Hill portion. We were told we were barely going to make it up to ABC. On the way down from ABC, again, it was apparent that the trek was taking its toll on one of the trekkers. Bil completed and modified the trek for us. We took out the maps, and he started giving us options. He felt bad for the 2 trekkers and was willing to split us up so that 2 of the 3 could continue on to Poon Hill. At that point, we decided it was better for all of us to head back to Pokhara.

Lodgings: The lodgings that were selected were great. In general, they were clean. The food was tasty. After talking to my daughter, and other trekkers, they said that of the choices that we had for lodgings, they picked the best ones.

The trek: if you ask the 3 of us what we thought of the trek - one would say "easier, and not as cold as she thought", one would say "harder than expected. Trekking EBC was easier (just the altitude was difficult on EBC) but warmer, and more chances for showers", the 3rd would say "harder, and would never do it again".
From my perspective, the trek was harder than EBC because of the up and down, or as they call it "Nepal Flat". There were many stairs and uphill on rocky paths. The downhills were also a bit tough on the knees.

Lodgings: all had squat toilets, and only 1 had a western toilet. Most of the tea houses had the ability to take a hot shower (fee), and most had the ability to charge their electronics (fee). Wifi was available only lower down (fee). There were heaters for 150 rupees per person. We never splurged for it. We brought our sleeping bags inside the dining room.

I would highly recommend Peace Nepal Trek for its kind professionalism, knowing that a portion of your fees is helping others and the value of the package.

Everest Base Camp Review

Contacted Nir after a recommendation from a friend about the company's great hospitality. Responses from Nir were quick and he was very patient in answering our numerous questions. He provided trekking poles, gaiters, and sleeping bags as we were lazy to bring them.

Our guide, Bil, and our porter, Prasan, were very friendly and took care of us (two of us) well throughout the entire Everest Base Camp (EBC) trip. Bil shared with us many stories from his guiding experiences and ensured that we were kept as warm as possible as we attempted EBC during the peak of the winter. He is also very knowledgeable about the mountain ranges and the things to take care of during the trip. And all of us (participants, guide, porter, and chef from Phakding) enjoyed a good drink at the end of the trip at Lukla.

The entire EBC trip, though painstakingly cold, exhausting, and dirty, offers a breathtaking view (figuratively and literally due to lack of oxygen) and an amazing experience.

Amazing experience!

Peace Nepal Treks is an awesome company. In December, I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Peace Nepal and the staff/guides/porters were incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Also due to the honesty of the company, the tours and treks are very affordable. Furthermore, the managing director, Nir, will organize anything for you and always with a smile. If you are thinking of trekking, sightseeing, or simply need some advice about what to do in the country, I highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks!

Incredible experience in Nepal!

I was part of a group that worked with Nir in November 2016, and he and everyone working at Peace Nepal Treks were incredibly helpful throughout our experience. Nir provided invaluable advice and expertise on our trip, going above and beyond at every opportunity imaginable to make our trip to Nepal the most enjoyable and authentic it could be. Whenever we had an idea or request for an activity, Nir provided us with options and transport to whatever it was we were interested in doing (seeing a movie within Kathmandu, doing a hike on the weekend, etc.), which enhanced my experience in Kathmandu.

I cannot recommend Peace Nepal Treks enough, they are a fantastic company and very easy to work with! Thank you so much for everything Nir.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek - 7 days

We did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Peace Nepal Treks and found NIr and his team excellent. Our team of guides was friendly, helpful, and informative. My daughter lost her camera at ABC and NIr's team assisted with reporting to the police on our return to Kathmandu, taking the stress out of the situation and clearly not part of their normal tour obligations. A very friendly, helpful, and honest group to deal with and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to tour this region.

Trekking the Annapurna Circuit

Nir and his team at Peace Nepal Treks are unreal. Nothing is ever too hard for them and they are always happy to be accommodating. During our 17-day hike around the Circuit, our guide was unreal, his knowledge of the area and helpfulness were very much appreciated. Furthermore, due to the honesty of Nir (the managing director), the trips he arranges are very reasonably priced. Can't say enough positive things about Nir and his team, would highly recommend them for any trip to Nepal!!

Unreal!

Nir and his team are absolute legends. He's the go-to guy for anything you need in Nepal! His kindness and honesty will not be forgotten and he ensured that our trek around the Annapurna Circuit was the best it could be! The trip was very reasonably priced and much better than I ever expected. Thank you, Nir!

Everest Base Camp "Adventure of a Life Time"

We are world travelers and we go on crazy adventures around the world! But our trekking experience at Mount Everest Base Camp was the most unforgettable! From its beautiful views, wonderful people, challenging weather, and altitude there is nothing we would change. Going to BC can be very intense. There were times when we thought we would not make it, but those challenges made us stronger. This trip will inspire you, if you can accomplish this you will feel like you can do anything in life. It is life-changing! Thanks to our guide, but most of all friend Bil, our porter Prashanta and team leader Nir Lama from Peace Nepal Treks. They took great care of us, kept us safe, and help us accomplish the adventure of our lives. It was an emotional goodbye after 14 days. Be ready for the Trek of your life! We recommend Trekking boots, a 550+ goose-down jacket, and a good camera for those breathtaking pictures, and don't take more than you need it is hard on you and the porters.

Amazing trip with the great team of Peace Nepal Treks!

I discovered Peace Nepal Treks through a friend.
The first time I went to the office, Nir Lama, the company owner, was incredibly kind and helpful; he took the time to explain the different trekking routes in Nepal. He asked me the right questions so we could decide together which trekking was the best. I find this approach very professional. I went on 2 trekkings with Peace Nepal treks and it was amazing! I did the valley trek and the Annapurna base camp - Poonhill trek, with my guide Bill. He's also very kind; he gave me useful advice during the preparation and during the trekking because I was a beginner, and I did great :)

Thank you so much Peace Nepal Treks! I'm so happy I discovered the mountains of Nepal with you, and will definitely recommend you to others.

Amazing trip to Everest Base Camp with Peace Nepal Treks!

We traveled to Nepal from New Zealand on the 5th of April 2017 to do the trek to Everest Base Camp. I found Peace Nepal Treks online and read great reviews, and after excellent communication with Nir over email we booked with them. Their price was the best I found, but matched with exceptional service and as much information as we wanted prior to the trip (never felt bad asking too many questions over email!).

Nir picked us up from the airport after our flight was delayed and it took us an hour in the queue for a visa, he was still happy and greeted us with a smile (after waiting more than 2 hours out in the sun for us to arrive!) We were introduced to our legend guide, Bill, and they were both great at making sure we were all ready to go, checked our gear, etc. Bill was a fantastic guide, and would highly recommend him! We know our trip was that much better having him with us. Not only were the nights filled with a great Nepalese card game, but he was always calm, and happy, made sure we were ok, kept us informed of what was happening each day, monitored our well-being (altitude and all!), and was just a really great and fun company. Nothing was a problem, and he looked after us exceptionally well, and I always felt safe. I would highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks and their team, very professional, everything ran smoothly, and great people.

Thank you to Nir and his team for the wonderful experience in the Himalayan mountains! From the airport pick-up to the trek and back, we were all well taken care of by guides Bil and Asal, and the cute and strong porters they have arranged for us.
7 days Annapurna base camp

Communication with Nir was smooth and excellent. The team is very flexible and accommodating and went all out to accede to our requests.

In the mountains, Bil and his team took care of everything for us! They made sure we get our food, drinks, beds, and all queries answered. They were always smiley and supportive. We are really appreciative of the kind of great service we get from them.

We will definitely recommend the team. We know that we r not the easiest people to work with, and that is why we r absolutely thankful that we didn't pick the wrong company.

We will go back to Nepal again. Till then!

EBC Trek

My friend booked and planned the whole trip with Nir from Peace and Nepal Treks. There was a little trepidation as we left Kathmandu international airport that melted away when we saw Nir with a banner with our name on it.

We went to the prearranged hotel, the international guest house which was excellent, met our Guide Prem, and sorted everything out for our morning departure.
The trek was a great success. I felt we were guided on the quietest path where possible, the route maximized the acclimatization possibilities and everything was organized really well. Our guide Prem was excellent becoming a friend who was always there to look after us when we were feeling the altitude.

The porters organized, Durga and Jhanek were really nice friendly guys, also incredibly strong, I could not have completed the trek without them.

Overall if you wish to trek in a smaller group, stay at smaller teahouses, and travel where possible on the quieter paths then contact Nir, he can plan most itineraries at a great price.

A great company, if I get the chance to visit Nepal again I would definitely use them again.

Worth every star

You might be wondering why so highly rated. Why? Because they deserve every single one. Professional, Kind hearted, and loving individuals who made my trip a memorable one.

Very good company, always doing their best to make your trip an enjoyable one. Liked the way they handled my trek to the Everest base camp in the year 2016 and I went back to them again for Mera Peak Climb in May 2017. Successfully completed both trips with memorable experiences. Will engage them again for future trips in Nepal. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a trekking company.

A journey worth coming back....for many reasons

Embarked on a 7-day Mardi Himal trek with Peace Nepal Treks in early October. Being my first ever trekking I had no idea what to expect except maybe fear of altitude sickness. And it turned out I was perfectly ok all the way and enjoyed every single day, thanks to our guide, Bil and his team, and all the wonderful people along the way and at the rest houses. We were very well taken care of and the trekking plan designed by Peace Nepal Treks was appropriate for the group (of 5) and it allowed sufficient time for rest and to get used to the altitude. Already in contact with Peace Nepal Treks about my next Nepal trekking!

EBC Trek that worth every dollar!

My friend and I had booked and planned the EBC trek with Nir from Peace Nepal Treks. He is fast in responding to our queries and prepared detailed itineraries according to our schedule in Kathmandu. He was there at the airport to receive us the moment we landed in Kathmandu. During the trip, our guide, Bil who is proficient in English and took good care of us and providing guidance to our trek and also sharing the Nepalese culture with us. Overall, the trip is fantastic and I totally enjoyed myself. I will definitely approach Peace Nepal Treks for my future trek in Nepal.

A Perfect ABC Trek For A First Time Trekker

After thorough research, I found Nir and Peace Nepal and had them arrange my trek for ABC.
From prompt replies that helped with all my queries; from which trek was the most suitable for me to which were the best dates for my travel, Nir was always very diligent. The hotel arranged in Kathmandu was very good and everything was explained to me in detail before I began the journey to Pokhara for the Annapurna Base Camp trek the next day.
My guide, Dupsang, soon became a wonderful friend as well and made the whole trek easier and delightful by taking the best decisions and ensuring that the trek went smoothly and was enjoyable every day.
Peace Nepal Treks is brilliant and I will definitely be going back to them for my next trek!

Amazing trek with a company that really takes care of their customers

I originally selected Peace Nepal Treks due to their excellent price and the useful advice provided by Nir for arranging a 12-day Annapurna Circuit. Early on in the trek, my partner was very sick with a bad flu. Our guide, Prem, adjusted our trip to give her the best chance of recovering. This included extended stays in tea houses and 4WD transfers for her while we hiked. In the end, she felt much better but continued the hike via horse (which Prem arranged). Prem and our porter Ajay were also fantastic company and full of knowledge and jokes :) Without the experience and knowledge of Peace Nepal Treks the trip would have been a disaster, we are very grateful for all the effort they went to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable time. Cheers Nir, Prem, and Ajay.

Amazing Trek in Nepal

I'd highly recommend doing a trek with Peace Nepal Treks. My friend and I had an incredible experience doing a 3-day, 2-night trek close to Kathmandu with them. They were organized from the beginning and ended up being extremely accommodating and patient with our change in plans due to travel delays and illness. All three days were perfectly planned and filled with spectacular views.

Wonderful 3-Day Trek to Sundarijal, Chisapani & Nagarkot with amazing Nepalese guide, Bill

My friend and I had a splendid 2 night, 3-day trek with Nir & Peace Nepal Treks. Our guide was named Bill and we became fond of him very quickly. He was extremely friendly and helpful and a blast to spend time with. I highly recommend this company as I've only heard good things and my experience confirmed that.

Annapurna Circuit Trek

We had an incredible experience on the Circuit with our guide and porter who were from Peace Nepal Treks. They were very professional, had years of experience and tool great care of us if we were feeling unwell. Would highly recommend Dupsang as a guide and Dillay as a porter.

Peace Nepal three-Passes Trek

Four of us did the Three-Passes Trek with Peace Nepal. Nir Lama was very good at getting back to us via email in the initial trip planning stages. He was more than willing to accommodate our schedule and route selection for the 20-day trip.

Our guide Prem was very good about setting hiking paces that fit our capabilities which helped us deal with the high elevations attained (18,000ft) during the trek. He also selected tea houses along the way and helped us order our meals etc. He made sure that our porters had our bags waiting in our rooms for us when we arrived at a tea house. This allowed us to focus on the incredible Himalayan scenery, birds, and culture.
I would go with Peace Nepal again on I hope another Nepal trek.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek .!

Nir Lama makes a trip to Nepal easy and hassle-free. Nothing is too much trouble and nothing is a problem.
From early and easy communication to plan and arrange the trip and advice on where to go, to making sure you had the right equipment for the trek, all was dealt with smoothly and professionally.

Our guide and porter for the trip were lovely and very helpful. The pace was set to the level to suit us and all was smoothly organised.
I would recommend this company strongly to others.

Life-changing experience!

We had an unreal 2 weeks hiking the Annapurna circuit trek! Our guide Dupsang was great, couldn-t have asked for a better person to show us the beautiful Himalayas. We were sick on our first few days of trekking and having his support made such a difference. Our porter Dilay was also amazing, the two of them together made our time in Nepal so special.

Would highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks, was very affordable. Nir set us up with sleeping bags, down jackets, and hiking poles! Endless support.

Amazing Trip To Nepal

Our group of two teenagers and three adults had a great week in Nepal. Nir made sure all the details of our 3-day trek to Poon Hill and time in Pokhara and Kathmandu were no less than perfect. Bill, our guide for the trek, and all the porters were excellent. They were very friendly and helpful. Our last day in Nepal was a national holiday and everything was closed. Nir was kind enough to invite us over to his home to celebrate with his family and his wife cooked us an amazing meal. We felt this was way above exceptional care!

Wonderful Experience Trekking ABC

Myself and three friends trekked ABC at the end of November last year. It was an experience I will never forget, the scenery, hospitality, and awesome organization from Nir and his guides/porters made this trek such a great experience. I would highly recommend Peace Nepal and Nir to anyone who wants to trek in Nepal :)
