A friend and I traveled to Nepal in October and spent 6 days trekking with our amazing guide Parsuz and porter Mila. Both were very knowledgeable, professional and helpful, sharing lots of insights into the landscape and culture. They were extremely attentive and took care of every detail to make our experience an exceptional one.
It was a delight to spend time with them. Devi Baral the owner was incredible. From our first correspondence he was always very responsive and informative, giving great suggestions and accommodating unexpected changes to our schedule. He took care of every detail for us and made us feel very welcome and cared for.
He even met us at the airport to help us transfer from our international flight to a domestic flight to Phaplu and welcomed us with beautiful flower garlands. In addition to helping us with our trek, he made arrangements for us to mountain flight in Kathmandu. I highly recommend him.

Pikey Trek Incredible!! November 2018
15th Mar, 2022
Over the New Year period 2017/8, we completed an amazing 6-day trek to Pikey Peak - Sir Edmund Hilary's favourite view of Everest. The highlight was watching the sunrise over the Himalayas on New Year's Day - it was truly beautiful. This trek was off the beaten track - in the 6 days, we only saw two other groups of tourists, so we felt like we could really appreciate the stunning surroundings. With crystal blue skies every day we were spoiled for views of the Himalayas. The hike offered us a good level of challenge. We walked for 7-8 hours on the first day, and 4-5 hours on the following days.
Our guide Kumar was brilliant. He was organised, patient with us when we need extra time on the hills, and kind. On our final night, we even stayed with his family, where he showed us great generosity. He was knowledgeable about the local area and we could not have done this trek without him as many of the tea-house owners did not speak English. He was also brilliant at cards and kept beating us all! He made the trip amazing. If possible, request Kumar to lead your trek.
Our accommodation was basic, but did the tea-house owners were friendly and the food was good trekking fuel. Eating simple dahl-baht every day was a good post-Christmas detox for us all! Our transport was good, but be aware, it is an 8 hour drive from Kathmandu to the start/end points of the Pikey-Peak trek.
Thanks to Kumar and to Adventure Nepal Eco Treks - we've already started thinking about when we can come back.
Unforgettable Sunrise at Pikey Peak
15th Mar, 2022
We had an amazing time on our trek with Adventure Nepal Eco Treks.
They were recommended to us by our guest house and the company owner Mr Devi arrived promptly to speak to us about potential options. Within hours everything was arranged and he was super flexible to our needs, even adding in a surprise airport pick up we had to do.
The trek itself was superb, Piky is one of the less popular treks in this region but with views of Everest every day and amazing scenery along the way it won't remain undiscovered for long.
We were also very lucky to have our amazing guide Kumar. Across the 4 days he was attentive to our every need, organising our accommodation (which was always at a fair price) and showing us the way to Piky. Not only is Kumar helpful but he is also kind, funny and generous, arranging for us to stay with his brother on our final night. To top all this he is a great cook and a mean card player.
I could not recommend this company and guide more. A well priced trek with superb staff.
