With this agency we did the Langtang trek and a part of the Helambu area trek. We had a guide and porter ,both very fine people.


The Langtang trek is very nice and had some very spectacular sight.


Ramesh (the guide) and Raj Kumar (the porter) took very good care of us. Not only during the trek but also afterwards.


This agency also helps you with arranging things outside scoop of the trekking. We are very satisfied with the guide service and can highly recommend this agency. If we ever comeback to Nepal we surely arrange the trekking here again.

Hello potential trekkers,


The purpose of this note is to recommend (highly) the services of First Environmental Trekking (P.) Ltd. My new wife and I went on an almost month-long trek to Kanchenjunga base camps November 2000. Our lead sirdar/sherpa was Ang Kaji Sherpa, and our head cook was Pradeep kumar Karki. It was fabulous….I have literally hundreds of pictures including wild blue mountain goats at Pang Pema, the incredibly old Gompa at Ghunsa, and numerous faces of Nepali villagers we met along the way. The food was tasty and healthy, we never got sick once along the way and were given plenty of water for drinking and washing. Despite a premature and unexpected snowstorm at Sele La Kaji Sherpa led us the way back down to Tseram. Everything was expertly provided for us. They are environmentally conscious. There are no hidden cost along the way (we could have gotten along fine without bringing any money if we did not really need those cokes or beers on the way back). I wish I knew what else to say to convince you. Kanchenjunga is a difficult camping trek and we encountered a number of trekkers along the way who had various problems with their staff or their food. Everybody on our staff (22 including temporary porters) was considerate and great and I'd like to think we've made a couple of real friends. Please feel free to e-mail me directly if you want to verify or further clarify recommendation.I can't say enough about these guys.


Sincerely,

I have just returned to the UK after my month's holiday and would like to take the opportunity to thank First Environmental Trekking for an unforgettable trek. I thought the organization and execution of the trek was very professional and the level of teamwork between the 12 individuals was great to see. In particular I would like to comment on Dinesh's (the guide) contribution. He is very competent individual who demonstrated a great range of powerful and excellent skills. In particular, I was impressed by his general level of awareness and perceptiveness of your thoughts and concerns, and how he appeared to go out of his way to make us feel more comfortable. In addition he demonstrated good leadership skills in organizing the 11other happy and organized team! All in all he helped to make the trek a great experience at times by going beyond the call of duty.


In addition, we were amazed by the diverse range of foods that could be prepared in such remote conditions! our thanks to Pradeep for that.


I will not hesitate to recommend First Environmental trekking to my friends. Thank you once again.


Kind regards

What on awesome experience trekking the Annapurna circuit ! ! I highly recommend First Environmental Trekking. To begin with Nava Raj's professional friendly assistance: great staff put me at ease; provided me with all the info. I needed Shree Ram was a very caring; competent guide. When I was not feeling well he was especially attentive; checked how I was doing many times during the day. I was well taken care of.


Compared to my fellow trekkers on the trail who did not have a guide, I felt so much more informed about the people, their way of life, my surroundings, the religion, culture..


I originally thought that I wanted to go with a group but I 'm so glad to have been on my own. I could travel at my own pace, program, not feel pressured into keeping up with a group. I could choose to be social or not.


All trekking companies are not the same. First Environmental is first rate.


HAPPY TRAILS,

Dear First Environmental Trekking Co.
 

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to First Environmental Trekking Co., Mr. Nava Raj , Mr. Ganesh, and especially to the greatest guide around - Dinesh.


We attempted the ABC trek and we have had a great time during the trek, all because Dinesh is a very sensitive guide. he sings to keep our spirits up when we are tired. I don't think words are enough to describe how great a guide he is. We will be back and we will still want Dinesh as our guide.


We would like to congratulate First Environmental Trekking on a job well done !

American, Single Female Traveler
My thoughts on the company:


* Very organized - they had a variety of treks available and I'm able to put together for me in a day.


* Knowledgeable - When I asked about trekking and the difficulties of each trial they were able to answer my question to my satisfaction. Other companies were answer with vague replies or " no problem "


* Friendly - I spoke with the owner, Nava who was very reassuring about the safety of trekking alone with his company's guide. He understood English well and listened to my concerns.


My thoughts about my guide.
* Dinesh - wonderful !
* Easy to get alone with
* Very Helpful
* Keen about Trekking
* Gentle natured
* Sociable
* Popular with the people who live along the trial
* Accommodating
* Able to problem - solve
* Good boundaries - which is very important as a female traveling alone !
* Likes to laugh


I had a great time ! thank you

Trekking with Ramesh Paneru is an absolute delight. His knowledge of Khumbu's trail and peaks is both impressive and reassuring (other guides and porters regularly ask him the way). His nature is kind and generous (he sings and smiles and offers jokes and all jokes at just the right time). And he is as intent on sharing what he can of the Napali culture and politics with trekkers as he is with safety acclimatizing them on their way toward their destination. As for the trek itself, the views from Kala Patthar on a clear morning speak for themselves they are nothing short of brutally magnificient. As for Ramesh I recommend him with great enthusiasm and without reservation, and look forward to returning to Nepal to trek with him again.
