Client Reviews

Gokyo lakes and Renjo la pass trek

This was my second time using Outfitter Nepal and while the other experience was good, this experience was better. We did a Gokyo lakes and Renjo La pass trek in the Everest region. I think the company was newer last time and now the entire procedure, from touchdown in Kathmandu to departure, seems even smoother. Its very nice being picked up at the airport and having the hotel in kathmandu pre-arranged. The hotel we stayed at has done some major upgrades and was very nice.

They also arranged our Lukla flights. Our guide was Sudip, who I would really recommend. He was very friendly and just a nice person and enjoyable to trek with even though I was cranky the entire time with altitude malaise. He made sure to ask us how we were doing and was very cognizant of our needs.

With respect to the pre-trip planning phase, the owners of Outfitter Nepal are generally quick to respond via email, which is very helpful when you're communicating with people on the other side of the world.

I wouldn't hesitate to use Outfitter Nepal again, and would recommend them to friends as a reliable company (and would advise people to ask for Sudip!).

Renjo La Pass Trek

Our group recently arrived back in South Africa after our amazing Gokyo and Renjo La trek. We would like to thank everyone at Outfitter Nepal for making our trip such an unforgettable experience.

Firstly a huge thank you to Arjun for doing all the necessary paperwork and for being so efficient with his responses to my many e mails. A huge thank you to Indira , our guide for his professionalism patience and help in leading us.

Last , but by no means least to our tireless porters , Sudip and Lakpa without which we could never have undertaken our trek.

I can highly recommend Outfitter Nepal for any Himalayan Trek !! We all hope to be back in Nepal again in the not too distant future.

Many thanks again to everyone.
