Nepal Sanctuary Treks organized a guide and porters (and permits, transportation etc) for an 11-day trek into the Langtang Valley for our family (two parents, two teenagers). We had previously used Tulsi and his company on two other trips to Nepal. Fantastic as per past experiences. They care for their staff, have a genuine commitment to the places and people that you visit and walk the talk in terms of a responsible future of tourism in Nepal. Can’t rate highly enough.

Thank you to all at Nepal Sanctuary Treks for an unbelievable adventure of a lifetime. The trip was amazing and was definitely enhanced by the quality of the guides and the organization of all. An extremely well-designed itinerary that prepares us well for entry into higher altitude. Prior to the trip, we felt brilliantly prepared with detailed information. The women running teahouses along the trail and guides collecting rubbish en route made us aware of sustainability and environmental impact. We were incredibly fortunate to have such an amazing team. Trekking crews were just terrific, so friendly, professional, obliging and caring. The trekking crew and lodge owners always did everything to make us feel safe.

Classic Everest Trek was an absolutely amazing trek – superbly organized and led by Nepal Sanctuary Treks who were outstanding in every regard. We received such detailed and excellent pre-trek information, briefing and logistics provided by Tulsi and his team. Our 3 fabulous Guides (Kharga, Kabi and Dinesh) and our 6 Porters were just so amazing, knowledgeable, caring and super helpful. the team who worked tirelessly to ensure that we were fully supported and cared for – both individually and as a group  It was indeed a magical trip and an adventure of a lifetime. Sincere thanks to Tulsi, the company, Kharga and the team for making our dreams come true.

Hi Tulsi,

It’s just a quick message to say thanks for putting on a great trip. We all really enjoyed it. It’s only now I’m back reflecting on it that I realize how amazing it was. It was a lifelong dream being able to see Everest and climb a Himalayan peak. Nepal is a fantastic country, Pema and the rest of the Sherpas were really helpful and friendly. I’m glad I could share some time with them.
Also a million thanks for arranging that helicopter that got us down. 

Just a note to let you know everything turned out perfectly on our Nepal Trip.  All members of our group were absolutely delighted.  You and Prashant were very professional and made all arrangements for us on schedule and did all transfers perfectly.

We had no waiting.  We met our Sherpa guide at the hotel and he flew with us to Lukla where we met the rest of the crew and were off on the trail in minutes.  Lakpa, the guide, was very entertaining and was with us at all times in case we had any questions.

The Lodges were really great, and the food way beyond our expectations.  We ate everything and stayed healthy.

The two teen Rai porters were very congenial and smiling and quick to join in for a group picture.  They usually got to the destinations way ahead of the rest of us, and then ran down to assist anyone who found that their daypack was getting heavier!

All in all a great trip and you are to congratulated for running such a smoothly oiled operation ( with the exception of the London Post, over which you probably have little control)  So far I have traveled with many of adventure trip operators from the US, and I must say you’ve topped the high standard in the adventure travel industry.  All of our group is in agreement.  Again we cannot praise our guide, Lakpa Sherpa too highly since he was there to meet our every need and answer our every question.

If you have any clients who would like to speak to me about our experience you can have them contact me at this email and I would be glad to contact them by phone.

Nepal Sanctuary Treks are outstanding! Our entire trek went unbelievably smoothly. Flights, accommodation, tour guides, and service were excellent. I would highly recommend Nepal Sanctuary Treks to any organization. Our guides Denish, Mangal and Chhiring were simply brilliant. The care and service were wonderful. Thank you to Tulsi for his excellent coordination. Can’t wait to come back!!!

It’s been long due in my mind. Please find below my testimonial for NST, in both English and French:

“In November 2011 I had the privilege to go on a 6-day trek from Lukla to the Ama Dablam base camp, organized by Nepal Sanctuary Treks for a group of very different levels hikers. It was a dazzling experience and I have precious memories of the whole trip. I have traveled extensively in Asia for business or leisure and rarely have seen in a travel agent such a great combination of quality of service, attention to the clients’ needs, reactivity to the journey’s episodes, security and kindness provided by the guide. I can only recommend Tulsi and his team to any traveler who wants an unforgettable experience in Nepal.”

“J’ai fait en novembre 2011 un trek de 6 jours de Lukla au camp de base del’Ama Dablam organisé par Nepal Sanctuary Trek, avec un groupe de marcheursde niveaux très variés. J’en garde un souvenir emerveillé.J’ai beaucoup voyagé dans différents pays d’Asie, et j’ai rarementrencontréun tel mélange dans une agence de voyages de qualité deservices, réactivitéaux aléas, sécurité assurée par le guide du trek, gentillesse, et prise encompte des besoins/attentes des clients. Je recommande vivement Tulsi et son équipe à toute personne désireused’avoir une expérience inoubliable au Népal.”

Let’s keep in touch, and thanks again for the chance to have such a pleasant experience in Nepal.

As we come to the end of our fabulous Nepalese holiday I wanted to let you know how very impressed we were with our guide, Tenzing Sherpa.

Tenzing was everything we could have wanted from a guide, plus much, much more. He was kind and caring, knowledgeable and interesting, we had complete 100% faith in him and felt extremely well looked after. From our daily blood oxygen measurements, which our boys adored, to his constant picking up of litter from the mountain paths, he really was everything we could have hoped for from a guide.

I would not hesitate in recommending Nepal Sanctuary Treks and Tenzing in the highest possible terms to friends and colleagues in England.

Many Thanks

Tulsi has provided me with many services over the last 20 years, from organizing raft support on kayaking expeditions, to internal flights (where he seems to have good contacts at many airports around the country, which I think is important when flights are cancelled, delayed frequently), accommodations, to full expedition support. In 1998 I organized a 7 men team to climb Mt. Pumari, and we had an additional 12 friends and family trek to Base Camp. Tulsi competently organized all permits, provision, supporting staff and internal transport. Subsequently similar expedition support was provided in 2001 when we made an attempt to climb Mt. Everest from Tibetan side. We once again organized an expedition to Chomlang and Mera peak on the way back on 2010. His company is competent, reliable, trustworthy and hard working. His ability and network of contacts allows him to solve those problems that present themselves from time to time when traveling in such a country.

I have recommended Tulsi to others to their satisfaction, and have no hesitation in utilizing his services again.

Annapurna Pranam 2012: An Annual Visit from Students from Hong Kong International School, Hong Kong Over the past four years I’ve been leading tours to Nepal for high school students from Hong Kong International School.

Hi Tulsi,

I would like to thank you and your team for organizing a great trip and your attention to detail which made the holiday so enjoyable. Your team are excellent and nothing is too much trouble for them, they are always friendly and helpful. The birthday gifts of cake and wine were very much appreciated and the dancing girls from the local village made a great day even better – I couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Thanks again and hope to see you all again. We will definitely recommend you to anyone thinking of coming to Nepal. We will also send through a few photos of Lakpla and Pasang as we promised.

Regards
Tony

The trek involved a variety of landscapes and difficulties, with lovely tea houses, and I had my own guide and porter, both of whom were so welcoming and caring and taught me some basic Nepali in the evenings. I got a real sense of the culture of the country when passing through the beautiful villages and meeting the local people. The communication and organization for the trek were very professional, with my own direct chat with the manager of the company. I’ve had an amazing time in this stunning country and have made some wonderful friends, and to anyone looking for adventure,I would definitely recommend the Mardi Himal Trek with Nepal Sanctuary Treks.
