We are a group of three Irish 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 Alpine Adventure Club Treks & Expedition website (www.nepal-guide.com)
very informative. Binod Thapa was very helpful and quick to respond
to all our queries. On arrival in Kathmandu It was great to be welcomed
by Binod Thapa 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 trekking bit tough at times last arrival it was
an absolutely amazing experience. We stayed in Teahouse along the route,
all of which meet ok expectations. We found that both guide and porter
added immensely to the quality of our trip. Our guide had very good
English which allowed him to respect his knowledge of country, Area,
Route, Mountains and Local Sherpa people.
Thanks to all who made our Trip to Nepal so enjoyable.

We are a group. We are twelve member only one of our
member tired the
Himalaya before we found Alpine Adventure Club on the website, we sent
many e-mails to its C.E.O Binod Thapa and we were very interested with
his helps. So we booked nearly nine months in advance sending off our
deposit. We do not regret a minute of it everything Binod said he would
do he did it very professionally and pleasantly. We did a three day
trek around the Kathmandu valley.
LEO Mahon (Dublin - Ireland)
Our Journey through Kathmandu valley was a wonderful
exp
erience
for me, as I wouldn't the great trekker. Binod and his Sherpas were
really good to the group always friendly and helpful. The Views were
Spectacular. We each other entertained on the way and had a great time.
when we arrived in Dhulikhel we meet Tour guide to Kathmandu and its
wonderful temples and all it has been a great journey for us. All of
Binod staff were really good thanks for everything.
Kay Mahon (Ireland)
We are two of a group of 12 people from Ireland. We
are both on
60
year. Christopher and myself (Hazel) to the think wonderful but very
hard. Our guide Binod (Our Tour operator) and his staff kindly and professional
we would find the best. It was beautiful places, scenery that land take
your breath away and the people were so friendly. We would recommend
this trip to any adventures person. Thanks Again Binod.
Hazel and Christopher Lee (Dublin - Ireland)
Trek
was very energetic & left us a little hard, but much more have they
beautiful view and Binod & Sherpas didn't push us too much, most helpful
which need its help down rocky paths. Never too dangerous, best fun
and Enjoyable.
Celilia Armelin (USA)
Very tough trip, made much better by the very attentive
Sherpas (Porters)
specially Mohan. The food that was prepared for us was very tasty I
will definitely recommend Alpine Adventure Club to everyone. I have
traveled to many places you are the best company we have travelled with.
Mairead and Damian Mc Kenny - Ireland
A tough but enjoyable trip an achievement made possible
only with the
help guidance of you very able Sherpas (Trekking staff) especially Mohan.
Your Sherpas instituted confidence in me because they readily appealed
at every difficult navigation. The food too was great and the teahouse
at Chisapani peaceful lots of laughs as we adjusted to the conditions.
That "Roxy" (Nepali wine) at the Dhulikhel Lodge was a nice. Well done
to all I feel I have accomplished much with Alpine Adventure Club Treks
& Expedition.
NOELENE MAHON AND GEORGE MAHON (CANADA)
It was the a dream to be trekking in the Himalayas
- A really great dream -
we really enjoy the three days, all of it! The porters were a great
help particularly Mohan always take care. I will definitely recommend
Alpine Adventure Club to any of my friends who may come here. Good luck
in the future.
CATHERINE AND THOMAS WALSH (IRELAND)
It was amazing, I really enjoyed the trekking and my
favorite place
was
Chisapani. The scenery was out of this world and the sun coming up in
the morning brought a tear to my eye. Thanks to the Sherpas for sure
without them I don't think we would have made it and thank you Binod
for all your help and good advice hope to come back again.
VERONICA MAHON (IRELAND)
Before we fixed our trip we have had e-mail contact
to the Manager Binod Thapa and we were very impressed about his fast
and detailed answers to our many questions. Our four weeks in Nepal
were wholly planned by Binod Thapa he choose our hotel in Thamel, organized
a guided tour
in
Kathmandu valley, the “Sailung trek” and four days “Chitwan
national park” He even cared about our transfer from Airport to
hotel and back and fixed our bus trip to “Chitwan” so we
could feel very comfortable by not having any reason to worry about
our program planning. Everything had been done very professional and
we can recommend this reliable company. The crew that accompanied us
was very well selected. They cared about us all the time and prepared
everything for us they worked quick like ants so they hardly let us
any chance to help them for example by building up the tents. Every
day we were wondering how they were able to carry that heavy luggage
and nevertheless all of them were always smiling and in good mood. So
that we both really enjoyed the time staying together with them sometimes
singing or dancing and learning more and more Nepali words.
The food our cook and his assistants prepared for us was always opulent
and delicious. He offered us a huge variety of different dishes and
two times he surprised us with a self-made worm chocolate cake. So there
are only positive things to tell about crew and we both would like to
say a big thank you.

I highly recommend Alpine Adventure Club Treks &
Expedition. Binod Thapa and his staff are both very friendly and professional,
making sure that you are happy with their services. The trekking went
smoothly with the guide & porter being friendly, professional and
knowledgeable. The guide always organized for me to stay in the best
places on the trek, making it a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
When Organizing the trek over the internet and in person all my questions
and quires were met promptly and answered completely assuring any doubts
I had about any issues. The prices for hotel accommodation and tours
were cheaper than if I organized it myself. Overall I had a great experience
in Nepal, and the organization Alpine Adventure Club Treks & Expedition
made sure the trekking,hotels and other tours went off with out any
hassles. 5th Nov 2006

Namaste Binod,
Yesterday I arrived in Switzerland, and today I was just talking to
my collegues about my journey and adventures in Nepal. Again, thank
you very much for your good job and the very good time that I had in
Nepal. 09th Nov. 2006

I went on a trek with Binod Thapa to Anapurna. It was
just me, him, and a porter. I was in Nepal for 9 days (I wish I could
have stayed longer) and Binod arranged everything, from the moment he
picked me up from the airport to when he dropped me off at the same
airport nine 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.
Although he is young, Binod has a lot of experience
with trekking, he knows the trails inside out and the people involved
in the tourism industry at various levels, he is a good organizer and
he made all the necessary arrangements for the trip in a very professional
way. He also speaks very good English and is very knowledgeable about
Nepal in general, so apart from being a good guide, he was pleasant
company and I learned a lot about the local culture from my conversations
with him. So yes, I recommend that you use him as a guide.
Good luck and happy travels! (I loved Nepal and I am hoping to return
some day, so I am a bit jealous that you have the chance to go there
now :-)
Thanks Olivia (Romania)

Being back in Kathmandu after a 14 days Trek to Langtang Valley &
Gosaikunda Pass I am still very impressed from the magnificent views.
It was also made possible with the help of Ramesh & Keshab and their
caring guidance. we had a great time. The organization of everything
was done by Mr. Binod Thapa and it was perfect it started with worm
welcome at Kathmandu airport. I was also invited to his house. The preparation
of the Trekking tour was perfectly done and that's why it became so
wonderful. I want to thank Mr. Binod Thapa and his team for Thousands
of unforgettable impressions.
Ingrid Dinhobl (Didi) (Austria)
Binod organized everything perfectly so as I could
see and experience the Nepalese culture with in my very limited time
period within Nepal. After my 6/7 day stay all I could think about was
returning to Nepal to hopefully see those "Mountain Beauties".
So determined was Binod to making sure we had a organized and value
for money trip, I believe he would have gone so far to try and organize
clear skies................unfirtunately, close, but he's not GOD !!
Nepal well what can I say the scenery, people, culture all fantastic
and
one of the main highlights and not on any planned itinerary was been
invited to Binod's family home to have dinner with his family - a true
Nepalese experience!!Binod, thanks again for everything.
