 Hi Pushpa,
A small note to testify how much we were pleased with our trip to Nepal. All the people involved in our trip were amazing...and very soon we became friends.
Thanks to you and Bishnu for all the organization. We really felt you were attentive to our needs. It was easy to modify our program and your proposal for last minute guided tours in Kathmandu was great.
Thanks to Ganesh, Dharma and Pasang for all their attentions during the trek. We were in good hands and felt safe... Ganesh also had a good answer for all our questions. He also made absolutely sure everything was always OK with the food (quantity and quality).
Thanks to Pawan for the tours in Kathmandu. He is a walking encyclopedia of Kathmandu (hinduism and boudhism) and answered our numerous questions. We were lucky to be in Kathmandu during Teej festival.
Finally, we will recommend Nature Trails and Tours to our friends and hope to see you again in a second trip to Nepal.

| Nature Trail is an extremely well-run company |
|
 May-June 2010
When deciding on a trekking agency from Jiri to EBC, my primary concerns were quality, cost, and peace-of-mind, and so I chose Nature Trail because of their very positive testimonials. Nature Trail is an extremely well-run company and allowed me to tailor the trip to my liking, even high up near Everest, without sacrificing any quality. The company made sure to take care of everything, from food and travel, and even arranged for drivers during my stay in Kathmandu to transport me and a guide between the temples and other sites. During the trek, they monitored our progress, periodically checking in with my guide, and I knew I was in great hands. My guide and porter, Dhruba and Dharma, were absolutely excellent team, and I feel like I got to know them on a personal level during our 22 day trek. They always remained attentive at all times, in case something happened, but also took an interest in me, and they went completely out of their way to make sure I was satisfied and comfortable at all stages of the trip. They were extremely knowledgeable about the mountains, fauna, culture, etc., and all-in-all I couldn't possibly have asked for a better guide, porter, or company. I will definitely use Nature Trail in the future, as I plan to visit Nepal again, and have recommended this company to my family and friends. Thanks for all the work that went in to making this trip truly unforgettable for me.

| A friend and I decided to make several shorter trips. |
|
 March 2010
When my husband and I decided to go to Nepal, he chose to hike the 21 day Annapurna circuit which I knew would be too long and difficult for me. A friend and I decided to make several shorter trips. I searched on the internet for a Tour company and found favorable reviews on trip advisor for Nature Trail Travel and Tours. There was also an interview with Bishnu Subedi on BootsnAll which impressed me. Bishnu is very organized, friendly and an interesting person. We chose two trips from the website, a 3 day Nagarkot/Dhulikhel hike and a trip to Chitwan National Park. Bishnu answered all my emails immediately and I was pleased with the information he gave me. Our guide’s name for the first trek was Raghu. He was very well informed, helpful and knowledgeable about the area and culture where we trekked. We were always picked up on time for all the trips we selected, the auto was in very good condition and the driver was a very safe driver. We were also pleased with the hotels. Chitwan National Park and the Parkside Hotel were also wonderful with a guide named Gopal who knew everything about the flora and fauna. My camera had fallen out of my pocket and Gopal did not give up until he found it. The last part of our trip was to Pokhara including paragliding and a hike to Ghandruk. Again our guide was Raghu. We are 69 years old and he was very watchful concerning our safety. Nature Trail is very well organized and after talking to other people, I believe that it is one of the very best companies in Nepal. We loved our visit to Nepal thanks to Nature Trail, Bishnu Subedi, Raghu, Gopal and the porters and drivers that went with us.

| You make all our plans true |

 Dear bhai Bishnu
For more than 8 years we are very close to each other and everytime we come in Nepal, our second country, we love to meet you, to discuss our plans with you and completely trust you that you make all our plans true.
Beste mensen
Sinds een 8 tal jaren kennen wij Bishnu Subedi van Nature Trail en Trekking en iedere keer weer slaagt hij erin om voor ons een geheel op maat gemaakt programma samen te stellen.
Wij hebben er problemen mee om met de reguliere touroperators een trekking aan te gaan, enerzijds omdat onze lichamelijke situatie (slechte knieen) dat niet mogelijk maakt, anderzijds omdat wij meer willen zien en genieten van de plaatsen en dorpen waar wij doorheen komen en de tijd willen en kunnen nemen om in contact te komen met de plaatselijke bevolking.
Het is heel eenvoudig. Geven de toeroperators voor een trekking 10 dagen, in overleg met Bisnu maken wij er 14 of 15 dagen van, een trekking geheel op ons eigen tempo, waarbij wij altijd de afspraak maken, lukt het niet of willen we een extra rustdag, geen probleem, dan maken wij een extra rustdag.
Tijdens de trekking, zowel in lodge als campingtrek kunnen wij in overleg met de gids ons programma aanpassen.
Dit bevalt ons bijzonder goed.
Wij streven ernaar om zo niet ieder jaar dan toch iedere 2 jaar Nepal te bezoeken, waarbij tijd genoeg vrij gemaakt wordt om onze projekten te bezoeken, waar Bishnu ons iedere keer ook weer zeer behulpzaam bij is.
Het is fijn om een contact te hebben in Kathmandu-Thamel waar wij iedere keer weer terug kunnen komen en op terug kunnen vallen.
Dank je wel kleine broer (little bhai). Pheri petaula (wij komen terug)

 Dear Mr. Herzog
In addition with our best wishes for a happy New Year we would like to thank you for the organization of the most exciting and impressive travel of our life.
Although the trekking in the unusual altitude was strong and exhausting, we enjoyed every minute within the impressive mountains – we liked the silence within the mountains, the long distances, far away from the daily business life, the various vegetation zones and the small villages – however, most of them, we loved the friendliness of the people there. And what a contrast to the dusty and noisy city of Kathmandu, where the poorness of Nepali people can be seen at every corner! Also those impressions, we will never forget again!
We are very thankful that we met you on the ITB Berlin 2008, because from the very first moment, we trust you and we felt in good hands with Nature Trail. During the Nepal trip, all Nature Trail people looked after us carefully und we felt safe all the time. Bishnu and his colleagues had always an open ear for our questions and problems and Dandi, our guide, was always flexible and prudent – please send them our congratulations and our best wishes for the year 2010. We learnt to love this country and its people from the deep of our heart and we are quite sure to visit Nepal again.
Meanwhile we excuse the delay of our feedback and we hope to see you and Bishnu again – maybe on the ITB 2010?
With our best wishes to all of Nature Trail

 Dear Bishnu and team, Namaste!
Last October I returned from my 10th visit to Nepal.
After first meeting you at the holidayfair (Vakantiebeurs) in Holland some years ago and a visit to your office in Kathmandu later that year, this was the 4th time you and your team arranged my stay, including a trekking, in Nepal. Like previous years my flight was booked in Holland by a Dutch tour operator.
This year I wanted to visit Lower Mustang again, so in spring of this year I started to mail you about my wishes.
This time I had some special wishes, I wanted to attend the Lama Dance Festival (Lakhe Nach) in Marpha and I wanted to visit the village of Lupra with its Bön monastery.
And another request to you was to have the same guide as last year, Kami Lhakpa Sherpa from Solo Khumbu.
I had a wonderful time with him on last year’s trekking and we were having e-mail contact sometimes and I already had asked him if he wanted to be my guide again this year.
As usual the e-mail contact with Nature Trail was excellent, immediate reply and great suggestions to make my stay a wonderful experience.
After arriving in Nepal I was heartily welcomed at your office and the last details of the trekking were discussed so after a few days in Kathmandu I was ready to fly to Pokhara and start the trekking.
Unfortunately the weather conditions were that bad that the flight had to be cancelled, but Nature Trail booked an extra night in Kathmandu and changed all the flights and reservations the same day. Also guide Kami was informed about the delay.
The next day I could fly to Pokhara and start the trekking.
As a representative of the Dutch-Nepalese Friendship association I was asked to do some official things in the Marpha monastery and neighboring villages, so together with the monastery, officials from Marpha and guide Kami we made a schedule in which also my wish to visit Lupra was included.
During the trip Kami was not only my guide, but also my translator (sorry that I still do not speak much Nepali after all these years), photographer and teacher. Also porter Suklal form Chairro did a great job and it was fun to be with them on the trekking.
Thanks to the suggestions of Kami I also could visit Muktinath for the second time, a wonderful experience again.
Looking back on my trip I can only say that it was great!
I want to thank you Bishnu, the office team, drivers Dipendra and Keshar and especially guide Kami for making my holiday so wonderful!
I hope to meet you all in good health next year!

 The trek itself was wonderful. The walking was tough but the views were all worth it. Poon hill at down was inspiring. The lodges & places we walked through Gove a real sense of Nepali life and we so welcoming at the end of each days trek. The service provided in terms of airport pickups and other support was absolutely spot on. Excellence all sound. The guide and the porter that we had were just fantastic and I will never forget their friendship and most of their smiles.

 Namaste!
Hallo Bishnu-ji,
It has been weeks since we’re back from Nepal, but the thought of Nepal keeps coming back to us. Nepal was such a great pleasure! And having you and the staffs of Nature Trail taking care of us, was very much a great deal. I thank you for all the professionalism and the warmth you have given us. We felt like we’re one big family.
Our 10 days holiday was a blast! You have met our requirements, and all that we experienced, we can’t thank you enough. We personally treasure our tour, and trek guides. Mr. BJ our tour guide was a walking-history book. He amused me with the history, and details on temples and stupas. Mr. Lakman our trek guide, sang for us a beautiful folk song for us on the way to Sarangkot.
We treasure Pushpa ji, who made sure we were well taken care of, and Dipendra ji who drove us around Kathmandu, and to Pokhara.
We are very fortunate to have given the chance to enjoy the beauty of Pokhara, and Sarangkot. You have made the mountain flight possible for us, and to be able to see the mighty Everest up-close was breathtaking. And you have chosen the best paragliding company for us, as I’d like to mention that David my pilot was awesome! We flew into the clouds.
We have easily made friends with the local, as they’re such a bunch of friendly people.
We miss all of you, and certainly miss Nepal!
With love,
Farah and Ihwan.

 "We get in contact to Nature Trail by chance. When we first started our plans for a trip to Nepal we were looking to the big travel companies in Germany. But then we decided to join the small agency "Bergfink-Reisen", because we were thinking about a more individual journey. Isolde forwarded us to Nature Trail and this was the best that can happen.
Together we found out that the "Annapurna Base Camp" is the perfect trek for us. 12 days fits well to our time table and the altitude of 4130 m was suitable to our personal fitness.
When we arrived at Kathmandu everything was very well organized, the staff was so helpful and professional. Our trekking guide Dhruba was very experienced; he knew every mountain, every plant and a lot about the wildlife in this region. He knew every corner and every rock along the trek and even the guides of other groups asked him for advice.
We also learnt a lot about the situation and the way of life in Nepal. Our group with 2 trekkers guides Dhruba and porter Pasang was very familiar. We enjoyed every day and even the weather was perfect.
Thank you Nature Trail for this great experience. It was much more than we expected."
Our holidays are over and we are back in Germany. The trip home lasted over 25 hours because of a long break at Delhi. We were very tired when we went back at work. But now we are ok and we are still dreaming of the fantastic days in Nepal.

Our trip to Nepal was only very short, but thanks to Nature Trail Trekking it was a great experience. We choose our travel agent through the www.allnepal.com and were very much attracted by the friendly, personal e-mails written by Bishnu Subedi. He answered always very quickly and found a solution to all our wishes and suggestions. It is to say that he only knew about our arrival something like 10 days before we met at Kathmandu.... Within this short time he managed to arrange a wonderful trekking tour which was exactly the kind of thing we wanted to have. We spent one week trekking through the Langtan/Helambu region and were accompanied by Bharat and Babu - two really nice guys. Bharat our guide and Babu our porter were absolutely friendly and we had a great time with a lot of laughting together. Thanks to them we got very close to the Nepalese people and culture and they were always willing to answer our questions. Everything was just wonderful and we can only recommend Nature Trail Trekking for everybody who wants to have well organised trekking tours. Bishnu, thank you for everything!

Feeling pleasant, secured and relaxed impressed me the most during spending 2weeks holiday in Nepal. With Bishnu's arrangement, we have programs with high flexibility. Being helpful and friendly, I can find the staff and Bishnu's support make us happy and comfortable in this journey. Bharat and Babu are so supportive and friendly during our 5 days trekking. I really enjoy the trip very much. Thanks a lot! Henty

Travelling alone with friends in Nepal might be frightened, scare and nervous. But with Nature Trail Trekking (P) Ltd. , Bishnu and Bharat, your surely will have only fun and enjoyable!!!
Nepal is a beautiful place that I have visited. The people there are pure though they are poor. Though I did not have much experience on travelling alone, this trip in Nepal is an unforgettable experience for me. Thanks Jesus Christ for letting us to have good arrangement by Bishnu so that we should not have to worry about our planning. For Bishnu's business philosophy "Customer First" and so he will spend much his time to chat with the customer. I enjoy this trip very much and also the people that I have come across with. I like the simple life in Nepal. May be I will travel in Nepal again in future to do some voluntary work so as to experience their simple and pure life. SEE YOU AGAIN IN NEPAL! SOO SAU MEI, PRISCILLA

2/4/2000 First of all, I have to thank the good caring of Bishnu. He really treated us very good. He prepared all the things for us and we didn't need to worry about anything. Moreover, he will share a lot his personal things if he have time. 'Great!' We had 5 days trekking, 3 days Chitwan National park and 2 days rafting and the rest of the days were stayed in Kathmandu.I was most impressed the trekking and rafting. Our trekking guide "Bharat" really a nice guy. He was gentle and considerate. So don't need to worry though you are not good at trekking. He was reliable and he can catch you tight if you fall down.(Ha, Ha,). Moreover, the porters and guide were also good at dancing. We have an enjoyable time in the lastnight of trekking. So thanks again for the team of our trekking. I really have a good memory! NICOLE CHAN LING HUNG

Having not much time for preparation for this trip to Nepal, all happened wonderfully & unforgettable in the end. We received very good care & concern since our arrival to Kathmandu from Bishnu. In the rest of our holidays, he arranged everything good to us. To me, the most great fun was from trekking - a great challenge to me to complete a 5 days trekking. Luckily I the good care from our guide "Bharat" who was responsible & reliable, I still survive and have a very good memory. Besides, rafting & trip to Chitwan were also experiences that people should not miss when they came to Nepal. I really look forward to my second visit to this country - beautiful scenery, humor & good hospitality from the Nepalese we met. Also, the lovely song "Re- Sam firiri....Re- Sam firiri....oondera jaunki dandama bhanjang.... Re- Sam firiri... Tam Gloria
