Gokyo Trek Guide owner Bharat led this trek. All goals and expectations were met. Inclusive of some dietary and health limitations on my part. The hike was well paced and well planned. No one was left behind and great attention was focused on our individual needs and abilities by the guide and porters. Born and raised in the area his knowledge and experienced lent itself well to our enjoyment and exposure to the wonderful Nepali culture. I will be returning.

  I have been on two unforgettable trips with Bharat (Annapurna Circuit and Everest Base Camp) and would not hesitate to go again. Bharat is a very experienced guide, not only very knowledgeable, reliable and safety-conscious but also a nice guy to be around and to share a beer or Nepali tea with at the end of a long day walking. But what's really outstanding is his willingness to go the extra mile for his clients: He literally threw himself in the dirt to take the best pictures of us, had cookies and hot tea ready when whe reached Everest Base Camp and, when we were stuck at Lukla airport, checked on us all the time while we were waiting for our flight and finally managed to book us on a different airline so we could get out.   Everest Base Camp

Everest Dinesh is the ultimate guide. He is very accommodating in every way. He is so knowledgeable about all aspects of climbing/trekking and the Everest region. Dinesh has climbed on Everest and that's one of the reasons why I decided to trek with his company. I'm a photographer and I wanted to go off the trails and into some villages to photograph the locals and Dinesh made all that possible. I will return to Nepal ASAP as I want to do the Annapurna circuit and there is only one guide for me and that's Dinesh. I highly recommend his company. This is a journey of a lifetime and something you'll remember for the rest of your life. Pick Dinesh!

Great EBC experience with Nature Explore! My partner and I had a great experience with Nature Explore, doing the Everest Base Camp trek. We were in contact with Dinesh on Facebook for a long time while planning our trip and he was incredibly helpful and answered all our questions which made us feel confident that Nature Explore were the right company for us. Dinesh and Bharat arranged our airport pick ups/drop offs and flights to Lukla. Chhabin, our guide during the trek, was great throughout. He kept us informed and was also very accommodating of us making changes to our route. On top of all this, we were given lovely gifts to remember our trip and treated to a delicious meal when we arrived back in Kathmandu. We would both highly recommend using Nature Explore for all your trekking adventures!!

EBC & Island Peak - 17 days From different agencies that we reached out to, Nature Explore made the best impression by taking time to answer our questions and offering a good deal for our trip. We wanted to climb Island Peak with EBC as acclimatization, total 17 days. Dinesh recommended a reliable place for renting sleeping bag and other gear we needed. The climbing gear (harness, helmet, crampons) was provided at the Island Peak Base Camp and we didn’t need to carry it which was very convenient. We decided to go without porter and carried our heavy backpacks. Chhabin was our trekking guide. He is very experienced, helpful and funny. He was able to find the perfect pace for us and advised us on different route options if available. He took us to the best viewpoints, the museum and some monasteries. Always patiently answering our questions on culture, nepali language and remaining distance :) We felt safe and well taken care of all the time. Meals, some tea and even snacks on summit day were included. Eventhogh I didn’t make it to the summit, it was a great experience and I’m looking forward to my next tekking with Nature Explore!!

These guys are great ! We have been on two treks in Nepal with Dinesh Karki ( one of the partners in Nature Explore ) as our guide. Most recently my daughter and I did the Masnaslu and Tsum valley trek with Dinesh for my seventh, and my daughter's first, trip to Nepal. I can't recommend Dinesh enough. He is a capable, honest and warm individual that makes trekking a real pleasure. I strongly recommend Dinesh and Nature Explore to anyone planning a visit.

Team Dinesh you did it again. You guys are Excellent. This was my second trip to Holy Kailash and Lake Manasarovar with Nature Explore. It was a wonderful and a very divine journey. My first trip was in 2018 and I again came back in 2019 to complete the inner kora North face which I completed successfully with Dinesh’s support. Thank you, Dinesh!!! This I can say is the greatest achievement of this lifetime. We witnessed the celestial beings in Lake Manasarovar on the full moon at 3:30 am. That was a very divine and an amazing experience. We also briefly stopped by and saw Lake Rakshastal on our way. After Havan Yagna at Lake Manasarovar, our 4 days parikrama started from the Yam Duwaar. The very experienced Sherpa team was always available for help throughout the journey. They were very dedicated and hardworking, never stopped smiling, were very polite and took all measures to ensure we were safe. As always, we were served hot nourishing meals and were provided with the best accommodation. On our way back we also stopped by the Brahmaputra River and the priest blessed us all with the holy water. A Big Thank You Nature Explore Trekking Team. I am looking forward to my third trip with you. BTW we also got the opportunity to visit the great Potala Palace. I strongly recommend Nature Explore Trekking for Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar Yatra.

We did the Mera Peak trek with Nature Explore in November - it was a fantastic trip which I’d definitely recommend! It was very well organised with Dinesh meeting us at the airport on arrival and answering all of our questions very quickly by email before we arrived. We had a day in Kathmandu before travelling by jeep to the start of the trek at Phaplu. We walked up the lower route which was good to acclimatise and see lots of Nepalese villages on the way. We also visited a very interesting monastery.   Fantastic trek - Mera Peak The second half of the trek was walking up to Khare at 5,000m where we spent two nights to acclimatise and practice our rope skills. We also hired boots, crampons and extra warm kit here at a very reasonable price. The final stage was walking up to high camp at 5,800m where we camped and were cooked really nice food for dinner (in very cold weather!). We then set out at around 2am to walk to the summit arriving at 7.30am. We walked slowly and had a great climbing guide based at Khare who knew the route exactly. An excellent trip which was organised very well. We also had a really nice and knowledgable guide Lila and porter Subash. A great team and company to do Mera Peak with! Thanks all for a great and memorable trip. Jo

A Dream Making Company! Do Not Miss Out! Dinesh, Bharat and Chhabin! I cannot express enough gratitude to you all for your incredible hospitality and kindness during our lifetime dream holiday to Nepal. You are truly professional with great expertise and social skills when dealing with customers. As this was our first high altitude trekking adventure, we felt really prepared and safe throughout the trip, but also very well accommodated in terms of our diet and sleeping arrangements. Most importantly, we really became close and understanding of each other, and enjoyed wonderful food and drinks together at your generosity. This was truly outstanding service, and we are certainly glad to call you all friends. We also really enjoyed hearing about your personal histories from back in the Khumbu region of Nepal and about the objective of your company. It will surely continue to grow quickly, as your attention to detail and incredible business model will gain much more attention in the future. It is also really important to stress the amazing value this package was! It contained all meals during the trek, accommodation, buses and taxis to and from the locations and also some great hotel stays in both Pokhara and Kathmandu! We were also very much impressed that a considerable portion of your profits are invested into impoverished communities within Nepal! Both ethically and professionally you are superb people and again thank you for such a personalized experience. Also, your really nice gifts; printed t-shirt, beanie cap and personalized printed mug of achievement really sets you guys apart from the competition. To sum it all up, i'd say Nature Explore Nepal was the best personalized guide experience we've ever had! Their kindness, willingness to open up and absolute attention to the client's needs is just sensational! A company that puts people before profits and openly profess their love for nature and their country, which speaks volumes compared to other agencies who just want to make a quick buck. Dinesh was so reasonable before we booked with him that he even said 'No matter what guide you choose for your trek, just make sure you at least choose one, as the mountains are dangerous places without the right guidance and expertise' . This was the absolute selling point for me, as I knew as a mountain lover myself that Nature Explore and Co were the genuine guys for the job. Thank you guys, for making a lifelong dream come true! Best wishes and we will certainly meet again in the not too distant future!

Another Excellent trip with Nature Explore. I'm just back from another excellent trip with Dinesh at Nature Explore. This is my third trip with Dinesh and I was again impressed with his enthusiasm, honesty, and knowledge of the Langtang area. You will be in good hands if you organize your trek with Dinesh.

Good Times In Nepal With Dinesh, Bharat and the Nature Explore Team I got introduced to Dinesh Karki (company founder) through a mutual friend during a climbing expedition to "Mera Peak". Since than, Dinesh has been my "go-to" man for anything and everything in Nepal, from general sightseeing tours in Kathmandu to organising all the logistics for high altitude climbing expeditions in the Himalayas. There are literally thousands (no exaggeration) of trekking agencies in Nepal, all competing for the same business. How much you enjoy your trip depends a lot on who you choose. Choose someone who is organised, flexible and accomodating of your concerns, for it is your hard earned cash that you are parting away with. I chose Dinesh to organise all the logistics for my recent trip - Ama Dablam Base Camp, a crossing of all three passes in the Everest Region (Kongma La, Cho La and Renjo La) as well as a summit attempt of Lobuje East (6, 119 metres). The trip went as per plan - Successfully crossed all three passes and summited Lobuje East. Dinesh's hospitality and service didn't end there. Once I was back in Kathmandu, he went out of his way to introduce me to his family, took me sightseeing and ensured that my requests were catered for.
