Unforgettable trip in the world of mountains!
1st September, 2018
In the end of September 2018 we (a group of 3 young women) decided to take the opportunity being in Nepal to do a trip to the Annapurna Basecamp in the heart of the Himalaya.
Well, what shall I say - it became one of the best things i've ever experienced in all my life. Not only that the nature is so stunningly beautiful and the atmosphere in the mountains itself is wonderful - but also that we had Dev as our guide made this week of trekking an immense gift to us. I can only highly recommend Dev! If you want, he explains everything about the Napli culture to you, he is always very polite and ready to help you.
thank you so much Dev for this wonderful week!

Enjoying magnificent Annapurna Base camp trek!
1st September, 2018
We decided after a recommendation to do our first trekking in the Himalayas with Mountain Eco Treks & Expeditions. Dev was helping us with every kind of question planning therefore we got exactly what we were looking for: a unique experience in the Himalayas during a very nice organized trek.
Moreover, Dev was engaged concerning everything - organizing the lodges, TIMS-card, our well-being, and for moving safely in the Mountain too. His kind and funny character made the Himalayan experience even more pleasant for us - Additionally, our time with Dev allowed us to get to know more about people, culture, rituals, and flora, especially in the Mountain regions. Therefore I can definitely recommend Mountain Eco Treks & Expedition and I am looking forward to my next Trek in Nepal with Dev and his trekking agency.

Annapurna Base Camp - wonderful!
18th November, 2018
My friends and I travelled 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 snow storm and 8 people got caught 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!

Unforgettable experience!!
28th September, 2019
Traveling with Dev and his small team was like walking with friends. He is incredibly attentive and generous with his time and effort, and other hikers remarked how family-oriented our group felt. We felt safe the whole way, despite some adverse weather conditions. Sometimes in life, you get very lucky, and with Dev and his team, this was one of those moments. Highly recommended.

Dev Lama was very friendly, serious, competent, and careful guidance. I enjoyed the Trek with him very much. If I will come to Nepal a 7th time I also would take him as a guide. I like him like my grandchild.
