Dear Pushpa,I just wanted to let you know that you did an amazing job planning and organizing our recent trip to Nepal and Tibet. Everything went flawless. The people we met were nice and very open to us and were easy to talk too. The scenery and various landscapes we saw were assume. Everyone in your company from our driver Bikram to your Managing Director - Bishnu were excellent and treated us with great respect. We could not have asked for anything better. We will have no problem giving good referrals to you and your company. You all are very professional. The last night and farewell dinner with Bishnu was the perfect way to end this most memorable trip. Thank you again Al & Sharon FisherSan Francisco (USA)April 29, 2011

We had a fantastic holiday organized by Nature Trail. As two couples in our sixties, we wanted to do the trek to the Annapurna Base Camp. We spoke to some friends who had used an international tour company, which they thought was very good, but had found a 12 day trek in a big group a little slow for them. One of our daughters had done the same trek in eight days, but believed that this might be a little too fast for us! We therefore suggested a 10 day trek to Nature Trail, who had been recommended by someone who had worked for the UK Department for International Development. We were immediately impressed by how quickly Nature Trail responded and how flexible they were in their arrangements. Having also booked accommodation for us in Kathmandu and Chitwan, and various bus journeys, they collected us from the airport, and took us to our hotel in Kathmandu at no extra cost, and were always friendly and helpful. Our guide on the trek itself, Kami, was brilliant. He was very considerate, interesting to talk to, spoke good English, and helped to make the trek the wonderful experience that it was. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Here is a picture of three of us with Kami at the base camp. We felt very pleased with ourselves for getting there! Thank you once again for organizing our trek in November. It was a great experience and wonderful holiday. Ines and Mike NewmanSue Oppenheimer and Carlos OrdonezJan. 23, 2011,

Genuinely, Dan & I had a fantastic time and our trip to Nepal was just an amazing experience! In two weeks we managed to pack in white water rafting, a five day trek, boating, jungle safari, elephant ride, canoe trip as well as all the sites and temples! Nature Trail organised everything brilliantly, nothing was left to chance as we were picked up by taxis at every location we went to making sure we made the most of our short time. Raghu, our guide on the trek, was simply brilliant as well - knowledgeable and funny he made up for the rain! Bishnu and his team organised everything perfectly and it was rounded off with a traditional Nepalese meal on the last night which was a great ending to our trip. Thanks guys and I'd definitely recommend you to all my friends heading to your great country! Thanks James Stephens and Daniel [email protected] 30, 2010

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. ThanksYohan LadouceurCanadaSat, 18 Sep 2010

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. David Smith and Linda MellorDerby, UK

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.

When my husband and I decided to go to Nepal, we chose to hike for 21 day to Annapurna circuit which I knew would be too long and difficult for me.As keeping in our age, Bishnu at Nature Trail suggest few shorter trekking in Annapurna area, we enjoy very much. The 1st trek we did was Jomsom - Muktinath 10 days, and the other one was Gorepani - Poon Hill for 7 days. We had a wonderful time and enjoy very much. We might not come back again to Nepal again for a trekking, but we highly recommend Bishnu and Nature Trail, for all our friend or whoever we encounter on our further journey. My husband still like to come once again in Asia to visit Bhutan, and when time come, we will certainly contact again to NatureTrail.  Thank you for the wonderful cultural dinner my guide organise for the last night before we leave Nepal that remind! Namaste!March 2010

Dear Mr. HerzogIn 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 TrailClaudia Walser and Frank Duckwitz

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 Bon Po 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 years 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

"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. Michael KocherSteffen Kern

Namaste! Hallo Bishnu-ji,It has been weeks since we are 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 are 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.Jakarta - Indonesia
