 Verified Our amazing experience with Mission Eco Trek!
My trip with missionecotrek impressed me to lengths. My dad and I were taken such well off we were shocked with how kind and helpful our Guide Sundar was. Mr Jitendra was also very helpful, always communicating and checking up on us throughout our trip. We decided to go for Pikey Peak Trek, unfortunately we couldnt reach the peak due to our unfamiliarity with the cold weather. We requested to tweak our original itinerary and change it to something more free and easy and Mr Sundar and Jitendra Sir were very understanding and helpful with all the arrangements. I will definitely travel to nepal with missionecotrek again and will definitely recommend them to everyone! Do give them a chance to impress and sweep you off uour feet with nepals beauty! Their prices are very reasonable and they are very reliable to work with!

 Verified Day trip from Kathmandu via Dhuhikhel to Namobuddha and Panauti
Great day trip from Dhuhikhel to Namobuddha with our guide Jitendra.Initially a bit strenuous as we had to climb 1000 steps and were rewarded with a great view of the Himalayan mountains. We continued through villages with a lot of agriculture. Panauti is a very old town. Impressive. Our guide put a lot of effort into it, told a lot of interesting things and answered all our questions Very lovable guide and we can recommend him without restriction.

 Verified Manaslu/Tsum Valley Trek
We did the Manaslu + Tsum Valley Trek including some sightseeing days in Kathmandu with Mission Eco Trek and what should I say - it was a perfectly organized trip and we really enjoyed it.Already the planning from Germany was totally easy and unproblematic. We got in contact with Jitendra and within some days we got back a perfect plan for our trip. In general the contact with Jitendra was from the beginning to the end well organized, professional but at the same time super friendly and caring. He answered to all our messages super fast and also on-site during the trips in Kathmandu he adjusted everything to our wishes and always made sure we are feeling well. For our actual trip to Manaslu we had Sundar as a guide and Sanukanchha as a porter. Both of them were a really good team together and we enjoyed the time with them and felt always perfectly taking care of. Especially Sundar was super kind, always calm and no matter which problem we had - He always found a solution. During the trip he made sure we are fine during the hikes, gave the right walking speed for us, organized the best rooms and also made sure they are ok for us and never left a wish open. In the evenings he always explained what is the plan for the next days and checked if it is fine for us. Besides that he shared with us his enormous knowledge about the mountains and the way of life in there - you could really feel how much he enjoys being in the mountains.All in all I totally recommend booking directly with Mission Eco Trek. First of all the organisation of the trip by Jitendra is stress-free, flexible and super friendly. Secondly with the guiding by Sundar we felt safe, taken care of and always in good hands.And third by directly booking there we knew that we do not pay any eurpean agency but pay the persons that actually made this trip unforgetably nice!

 Verified Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley trek
We had a wonderful experience with Mission Eco Trek during our Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley trek. Already before we came to Nepal, we knew we were in good hands. The owner Jitendra provided a detailed itinerary and packing list, and he promptly answered all our questions. It was his idea to include Tsum Valley in our plan as we had enough time and it was absolutely worth it.We started the trip with a two-day tour of Kathmandu getting to know the main sights before heading off on the trek. The trek itself was well planned but also allowed for some flexibility. Our guide Sundar was fantastic! He kept a slow and steady pace, so that we could keep up, and shared facts about the surrounding mountains during our breaks. Each evening, he briefed us about the next day’s route, making sure we were well prepared and feel fit for another day of trekking. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for with him.We would definitely use the Mission Eco Trek again on our next trip to Nepal.

 Verified Fantastic 4 day Pikey Peak trek
A fantastic experience from start to finish. Jitendra was helpful, organised and friendly, very easy to work with. Our guide Sundar was super! He arranged everything very well for us and made sure we were always happy. He was so kind and a genuinely lovely man. The short trek itself was worth the long bumpy drive from Kathmandu. We stayed in simple, clean tea houses all which had really good food. We were fortunate to have the most amazing views from Pikey peak for sunrise on the 3rd day. We opted for a longer walk on day 3 to get us back to kathmandu earlier on day 4. Don't hesitate to book if you're short on time but still want to see amazing views of the Himalayas (weather permitting)!

 Verified Kukuri master class experiance
Jitendra hosted an unforgettable Kukuri knife making experience with 5th generation Nepalese masters who took us through the forging process, giving hands on tutorials in tempering, forming and shaping. Finishing with a momentous Kukuri knife. These craftsmen were engaging and truly passionate about their craft. A must do experience.

 Verified Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Trek – Amazing Team and Support!
I recently completed a two-week trek to Everest Base Camp with a group of friends, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. The agency was absolutely perfect from start to finish — they were organized, responsive, and always ready to help, even when our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. Their support made the whole journey smooth and stress-free.Our guide, Bikram, was a bit shy at first, but once you get to know him, he’s a fantastic person — kind, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. He made sure everyone was safe and comfortable throughout the trek, and his quiet sense of humor and calm attitude really added to the experience.The scenery, the people, and the sense of achievement at the end were beyond words. I can’t recommend this agency enough — if you’re planning to trek in Nepal, go with them. You’ll be in great hands!
