I went on a 5 day trek in the Annapurna area and Karna and his porters did a great job! They were so patient and helpful to me through those uphill stairs, snow and ice and ALL. The folks at Mother House helped make it an unforgettable trek for me!

While looking for the Everest Base Camp trek and a climb of Kala Pattar, I found a company (Nepal Mother House Treks & Expeditions) on the internet. They gave a fast response to my questions, and they made me feel very comfortable in preparing for my trip. Excellent services were provided on my first trip to Nepal. The guide provided good arrangements during the trip; he helped me a lot on the way and explained Nepal's history, and culture and he described the livelihood of the remote villages. I don't think I could have done the trip without their help, providing me encouragement along the way when I got tired. I recommend this Company to all travelers when visiting Nepal.

I went on an Everest trek with Karna Rana. It was just me, him, and a porter. I was in Nepal for 14 days (I wish I could have stayed longer) and Karna arranged everything, from the moment he picked me up from the airport to when he dropped me off at the same airport 14 days later. He arranged for housing, meals, sightseeing in Kathmandu and Pokhara, and the trek. I chose him as a guide based on the recommendation of some dear and trustworthy friends who had been on a trek with him before, and in retrospect, I made a very good choice.

I was in Nepal in June 2011 and was very grateful to the staff of Nepal Mother House Treks and Expedition for their guiding services. I traveled to Upper Mustang with a friend and had a marvelous 17-day trekking experience in Upper Mustang. Karna was very professional and reasonable in his set-up for the trip and the fees associated with the trekking adventure. We had a marvelous experience on our journey to Lo Manthang in Upper mustang.

Lisa and Eric JohnsonOur party of 7 visited Nepal for the first time in November 2010 to trek for 5 weeks in Annapurna Circuit and what an amazing adventure we had. We were very fortunate to have been recommended a great guide and guy, Karna Rana. He along with other members of his company, Nepal Mother House Treks & Expedition, helped us plan our trek around both the Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary which we completed with great success. The advice and help given during both our email communications and once we arrived in Nepal were super, he understood our requirements and needs and carried them out professionally, effectively, and efficiently.

From the time he met us at the airport (the flight was late but Karna had waited and with his friendly, calm manner, quickly got us transferred to the hotel with minimal fuss), to the time he waved goodbye to us at the end of the trip, full of Nepalese Magic, that is already drawing us back, his care for us during our time in Nepal and for both us and his staff whilst on the trek plus his extensive knowledge and experience enabled us to have a brilliant trip. I highly recommend Karna and their company.

Natalie Hatton Lisa and I enlisted Nepal Mother House Treks & Expeditions via the internet because we wanted all the funds to go to a Nepali company and we were not disappointed. All ticket bookings and permits were on time and delivered as promised for the Ghorepani poon Hill Trek. We found Karna Rana(our correspondent/ manager) very reliable, helpful, and fair when we wanted to change plans. The Guides, porters, and hotels that were recommended gave very good service and advice. When you book somebody from the web you are taking a company on faith when you send a deposit. Nepal Mother House was very professional & proved to be very trustworthy. We have no hesitation in recommending Nepal Mother House Treks for your Nepal experience.

I was worried about coming to Nepal since I did not have time to plan the trip myself – however, Mr. Kipal Thapa (Guide of Nepal Mother House Treks & Expedition) figured out my entire Aruna Valley Trip in the Everest Base Camp from Tumlingtar via Salpa Pass for me! All things on the trip were perfect – better than I could have planned myself. Because I had such a great time on my trip, I am sure that I will be coming back to visit Nepal again! Everything hotels, Guides, and transportation were perfect – I didn't have to worry about anything while on my trip. It was grand!

We are a group of three backpackers in our mid-twenties on the final day of our around-the-world trip. We wished to plan the trip in advance and found the Nepal Mother House Treks & Expedition website very informative. Karna Rana was very helpful and quick to respond to all our queries. On arrival in Kathmandu, it was great to be welcomed by Karna Rana and brought to his office where he gave us a detailed description of what was to be ahead of us over the next 12 days. We also got to meet our trekking guide there at the office.

We found the 12 days of Annapurna Base Camp trekking via Poon Hill a bit tough at times, but it was an absolutely amazing experience. We stayed in the teahouse along the route, all of which met our expectations. We found that both the guide and porter added immensely to the quality of our trip. Our guide spoke very good English, which allowed him to tell us his knowledge of the country, area, route, mountains, and local people. Thanks to all who made our trip to Nepal so enjoyable.
