Highly recommend Dev and his crew. Everything was so professional and well-arranged. We were a group of 10 and we were all looked after very well. Everything went smoothly with very little for us to do apart from enjoying the amazing scenery and trekking. We are now planning to do everest base camp trek with the same company soon. So definetly thumbs up from us

Annapurna Base Camp Trek

19th April, 2018

I’ve been visiting Nepal in last november. We were 4 people and did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Dev’s family and we totally enjoyed it. It was one of the most impressive landscapes that I’ve seen. The trek itself is accessible to almost everyone. It was secure, the guide was ensuring that we were feeling good with the altitude. We always slept in nice places, basic, but comfortable, nice food. Our rythme was respected, we had to walk 6-7 hours a day. Book Dev and Co and be sure to enjoy your time in Nepal

Wonderful experience in the Himalaya!

1st September, 2018

We decided to do the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Mountain Eco Treks & Expedition and it was even much better than we had expected. Our Guide, Dev Lama, was very intensive, very helpful, and got a nice sense of humor so we enjoyed our trekking adventure a lot. Dev also explained a lot about the Nepalese culture, the Himalayas,s and everything we wanted to know, so it was really interesting to experience, besides the fascinating nature we saw. Also, the organization for the permits, the TIMS cards, etc. before the trekking was very easy, because Mountain Eco Treks & Expedition requested this for us. In Conclusion, we are very very happy, that we planned our trip with this organization. It was an amazing experience!

I can't recommend this trekking company high enough. Dev our leader had a wealth of knowledge which he happily shared with us. He was able to judge the ability of everyone in the group very quickly and adjust the walk where necessary. A great experience which I'd love to do again.

Annapurna Base Camp - AMAZING LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

8th November, 2018

I got in contact with Dev before leaving for Nepal. He made sure I was well welcomed in Nepal and organized my pick-up arrival with his brother as he was trekking. We then met in Bhaktapur while I was traveling and drank a nice tea together.

He organized my bus tickets to Pokhara from Kathmandu and return which was really helpful. He came to the bus station with me to make sure everything went well. We then met in Pokhara for the trek. Dev was very flexible as I brought along with me two friends who joined the trek. We had the best time with him, his son, and our porter Bijaya. He really created a familial and safe space during the whole trek.
Singing, dancing, and eating well was our daily program along with long hours of walking of course.
I would send all of my friends to Dev. He knows every corner of every tour. Not to mention that he saved people during the trek when a snowstorm hit Deurali and further to ABC. He made sure we were fine all the time.
Thank you so much Dev.

Annapurna Base Camp - wonderful!

7th November, 2018

My friends and I traveled to the Annapurna Base camp (I didn’t quite make it due to the altitude) and we had a wonderful time with Dev, his son, and our porter Bijaya! I highly recommend Dev he created a really lovely atmosphere, we felt like we were with family, and we felt very comfortable and safe throughout the trek. Not to mention that during our trek the weather got quite scary as we got closer to ABC to the point where there was a snowstorm and 8 people got caught in two avalanches. Dev ended up saving these 8 people while also ensuring that we were safe! A very big thanks to Dev and his team

Annapurna Trek

10th May, 2018

Highly recommend Dev and his crew. Everything was so professional and well-arranged. We were a group of 10 and we were all looked after very well. Everything went smoothly with very little for us to do apart from enjoying the amazing scenery and trekking. We are now planning to do everest base camp trek with the same company soon. So definetly thumbs up from us

Annapurna Base Camp Trek

19th April, 2018

I’ve been visiting Nepal in last november. We were 4 people and did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Dev’s family and we totally enjoyed it. It was one of the most impressive landscapes that I’ve seen. The trek itself is accessible to almost everyone. It was secure, the guide was ensuring that we were feeling good with the altitude. We always slept in nice places, basic, but comfortable, nice food. Our rythme was respected, we had to walk 6-7 hours a day. Book Dev and Co and be sure to enjoy your time in Nepal

Wonderful experience in the Himalaya!

1st September, 2018

We decided to do the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Mountain Eco Treks & Expedition and it was even much better than we had expected. Our Guide, Dev Lama, was very intensive, very helpful, and got a nice sense of humor so we enjoyed our trekking adventure a lot. Dev also explained a lot about the Nepalese culture, the Himalayas,s and everything we wanted to know, so it was really interesting to experience, besides the fascinating nature we saw. Also, the organization for the permits, the TIMS cards, etc. before the trekking was very easy, because Mountain Eco Treks & Expedition requested this for us. In Conclusion, we are very very happy, that we planned our trip with this organization. It was an amazing experience!

To base camp

1st June, 2017

I can't recommend this trekking company high enough. Dev our leader had a wealth of knowledge which he happily shared with us. He was able to judge the ability of everyone in the group very quickly and adjust the walk where necessary. A great experience which I'd love to do again.

Annapurna Base Camp - AMAZING LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

8th November, 2018

I got in contact with Dev before leaving for Nepal. He made sure I was well welcomed in Nepal and organized my pick-up arrival with his brother as he was trekking. We then met in Bhaktapur while I was traveling and drank a nice tea together.

He organized my bus tickets to Pokhara from Kathmandu and return which was really helpful. He came to the bus station with me to make sure everything went well. We then met in Pokhara for the trek. Dev was very flexible as I brought along with me two friends who joined the trek. We had the best time with him, his son, and our porter Bijaya. He really created a familial and safe space during the whole trek.
Singing, dancing, and eating well was our daily program along with long hours of walking of course.
I would send all of my friends to Dev. He knows every corner of every tour. Not to mention that he saved people during the trek when a snowstorm hit Deurali and further to ABC. He made sure we were fine all the time.
Thank you so much Dev.

Annapurna Base Camp - wonderful!

7th November, 2018

My friends and I traveled to the Annapurna Base camp (I didn’t quite make it due to the altitude) and we had a wonderful time with Dev, his son, and our porter Bijaya! I highly recommend Dev he created a really lovely atmosphere, we felt like we were with family, and we felt very comfortable and safe throughout the trek. Not to mention that during our trek the weather got quite scary as we got closer to ABC to the point where there was a snowstorm and 8 people got caught in two avalanches. Dev ended up saving these 8 people while also ensuring that we were safe! A very big thanks to Dev and his team
