Great trekking agency. My trek trip was set up in no time. I met Nirajan in Pokhara. Friendly guy who makes an effort. I felt quite comfortable and I met my guide/porter before I went trekking. Tul was great! And the trek was awesome! Made a lot of screensaver worthy pics! Worth to be with these guys, they are friendly and flexible. 

Firstly, what an amazing Mardi Himal trek! I've done ABC & EBC & this one impressed me just as much as the other two. Nirajan was very helpful with all aspects of the trek and organizing it for me, I will defiantly use him again in the future! My guide Indra was amazing ( I used him for ABC so asked for him again) and trekking solo, I have every confidence in him. My porter Shiva, was equally as nice, always there to help, nothing was to much trouble and always had a smile on his face. He spoke very good English & would also highly recommend using him. Altogether, another great experience here in Nepal, with incredible scenery, pleasant company & all at a very reasonable price. Don't shop around, you will be wasting your time, just book with these guys & you won't be disappointed! Namaste.

Wir sind den Annapurna Circuit gegangen und es war nicht nur ein Erlebnis, es war eine lebensverändernde Erfahrung! Alles war perfekt organisiert und sowohl Nirajan (der Agenturchef), Tul (unser Guide) und auch Yubraj (unser Porter) waren rund um die Uhr um unser Wohlergehen bemüht. Wir hatten so viel Spass gemeinsam!!! Nirajan in Kathmandu war immer für uns erreichbar und hat sich um alle unsere Anliegen sofort gekümmert. Danke an das Team von Rugged Trails für diese wunderbare Zeit!!! Wir sehn uns zum nächsten Trek auf alle Fälle wieder!!!

This was my first trekking experience and I could not have imagined it any better! I spontaneously decided to join a friend on the Annapurna Circuit Poon Hill, which she had already booked ahead of time. Nirajan was very flexible and helpful and even supported me when my credit card and ATM card didn't work.

The trek was perfectly organized and we had an amazing guide and a great porter. I'm sure it's manageable to do the trek on your own, but I would definitely suggest going with a porter and having the trip organized by Rugged Trails Nepal. For once some places on the way have only limited availability and a guide can book a room ahead, but also while going with a porter you will learn about the culture, scenery, and customs of Nepal in a way you could never by simply using a guidebook.

You will also have the chance to get in contact with the local people on the way. Our guide equipped us with a lot of background information and pointed out interesting facts and sights we would have missed otherwise. Nirajan picks his guides carefully and you are guaranteed to be taken the best possible care of! Even before and after the trek, Nirajan took the time to show us around and teach us many many interesting things about Nepali culture, language, society, politics, and history!

We had an amazing time and a blast! We will definitely come back and will do another trip with Rugged Trails in the future! Thank you so much Nirajan for everything! We enjoyed every second of it!

Dear Binod, Rugged Trails Nepal. Thank you for all the help with arranging the travel, airfare, hotels, transportation, guides, and our luggage. You and your team were very diligent when ensuring our comfort and security. FIRST CLASS SERVICE!

Thank you!

It's my second rafting but this time I really enjoyed myself with these guys. last time we went with another company, it was terrible. Honestly, food was good at the royal beach, guides were awesome. Guys believe me Nirajan is perfect.

La première fois pour faire le Tour du Nepal en Moto et la deuxième fois pour lui demander de m'organiser un séjour au Bouthan avec également une location de Royald Enfield sur place. Le parcours était au Top. Tout a été carré, planifié, organisé dans les moindres détails. Rien à ajouter, quand c'est excellent, il faut le dire, alors Bravo Nirajan, et à très bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures....

I went on a trek with Nirajan of Rugged Trails and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Very professional from the time he picked me up at the airport until he dropped me off 18 days later.
