We were three friends for Kalapathar Trek and thanks Nepal Dream Path Treks and Expedition for their excellent work.  They take care of us very well everyday on our trek. Tek who is our guide has a good knowledge about Nepal and their mountains. They provide a helicopter for us to back Kathmandu. We enjoyed a lot in this trek and again thanks to this company and highly recommended for Nepal trip.

Highly Recomended

2016

I have only positive things to say about DP who lead our 21-day trek around Everest base camp region. DP is an excellent guide who organizes everything from the best Kathmandu guest houses to the flights and tea houses. He is so knowledgeable about the region. His English is excellent too. His humor and patience helped me through the tough sections and he never pushed too hard. I knew DP would always put our safety first. And nothing is too much trouble for DP – one day he insisted on going back 2 hours to pick up a shirt I had forgotten, while he let us sit and drank tea. My husband and I trekked with him 10 years ago doing the Annapurna circuit – loved having him as our guide that we went back with him 2 years later. I can’t wait to go back to Nepal with this company again. Highly Recommend.

EBC Trek with Kalapatthar

2018

Best guide! We have had the pleasure of knowing and trekking with DP on several trips over many years. He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Nepal including its incredible fauna and flora. Over many years we have had the opportunity to observe many different styles of guides and I can honestly say I have never witnessed anyone better. His recommendations on trails, accommodation, transport etc are always spot on – I suspect because he really takes the time to understand the client hopes and expectations. He treats everyone on the trail with deep respect and is very honest. The fact that many clients keep coming back to his company is testament to his great reputation. Office staffs are wonderful also. You won’t be disappointed with Nepal Dream Path Treks and Expedition.
