      Highly Recommend Trekking Tour Company

      Welcome Nepal Treks were outstanding from first contact to the end of the trek. We did Ghorepani Poonhill trekking and Pokhara city sightseeing day tour with this company.

I highly recommend Welcome Nepal Treks to any operators looking for in country partners or any travelers looking to explore the wonder that is Nepal

      Best Service, Reliable price and highly recommended!

      This year I did my first trekking in Nepal which is Ghorepani poonhill trekking. Hari Khadka the friendly Owner of Welcome Nepal Treks, gave a very clear explanation about this trip. Like what I could expect to see and encounter on the trek and also advised me what to bring, what to do which I really appreciated. My guide Rabindra Tamang he was simply the best and honest. He was great fun to do the trekking with, knew a lot about everything we encountered during the
      trek, and was very polite and helpful. He always arranged nice rooms in the guesthouses. Even the price was very reasonable and the best out of the other few agency. Overall my trekking was wonderful and memorable in near future I'll do more trekking in Nepal and will definitely trek with this company again!
