We were very fortunate to identify Alpine Luxury Treks, for our trip to Nepal. We had a best experience ever in our life. The trip planned with Badri was beyond our expectations. From the 1st contact with Badri , he worked with us on our dreams . His meticulous planning with dedication is beyond words. He does not know the words like “NO”, “Not Possible” etc… For Nepal , a place where weather is so unpredictable , nobody can match Badri’s flexibility. His kindness and hospitality knows no bounds... He is “Mr. Perfect”. The guide Mr. Gobinda is an amazing guy. He took care of us like his parents. We felt like we have taken a tour with my lovable son.. I miss you dear… It is not fair if I don’t mention Mr. Ranjan, The guide who has an excellent knowledge about the whole place. Exceptional guy… most importantly the whole team made us feel like one family during our stay. From the bottom of my heart we would like to thank every one of you for the wonderful memories and for the amazing experience we had during our trip.. We are eagerly waiting for our next trip with you Badri I will strongly recommend them and you will never regret it ... I guarantee 101%

We had a great time during the entire trip. Mr. Badri of Alpine Travels was very cooperative from day one and made our trip smooth. The driver of the vehicle who was with us for 5 days was also very good. The vehicle allotted to us was also new and in very good condition. To conclude, we will be more than happy to recommend the company to others.

We really had a great time visiting Nepal. There we had Kathmandu and Pokhara city tours, trekkings and helicopter flight to Everest which was an awesome experience. Everything was planned, organized and booked by Trek Nepal Himalayas, including domestic flights and hotels. The hotels were incredibly welcoming, including the tea house we stayed at Damphus. Badri did a wonderful job attending all our requests and answering all our questions patiently and very, very quickly. It was a pleasure meet him in person. With no doubts, it was one of the best trips I have ever had in my life. Nepal is a very beautiful country to visit with many interesting sightseeing places and a wonderful people who knows how to make you feel welcomed and happy. Thanks also to Govinda, our guide in Pokhara and Ranjan, our guide in Kathmandu. Both of them did an amazing job. I strongly recommend this company if you wish to visit Nepal. For sure I will be back! 😊
