The Upper Mustang Trek is my second trek with Info Nepal Trekking. The walk through one of Nepal's eight wonders was amazing. Once more, I traveled with Kubindra and his group. Because of our previous trek together, I have a strong relationship with them.
They are incredibly helpful and dependable travel agents who handle every single aspect, from safety and security to emergency needs. Working with Kubindra is one of the most appealing things because of his personality. He is composed, never freaks out, and deals with uncertainty in a very orderly and careful manner.
Furthermore, he takes his entire duties very seriously. He comes highly recommended to anyone who is unsure about finding a respectable travel agency, and I would definitely go back with him again.

Trekking for an extraordinarily low cost with a business that respects the ethics of its guides and places a higher priority on the safety and security of its customers. It was a delight to correspond with Kubindra and his staff because they always gave us immediate answers.
Kubindra responded with the utmost professionalism to every concern our group brought to them, including missed start dates and helicopter evacuations for altitude illness.
From the beginning to the end, his capable and friendly team took care of us, and our guide was a pleasure to spend time with. Keep up the fantastic work, everyone! I won't think twice about recommending Info Trekking Nepal to anyone.

At the age of 60, my wife and I intended to take another upper Mustang expedition. One of my nieces, who travels and has gone on two treks with them, suggested The Info Trekking Nepal.
After hearing about his interactions with them, we were at a loss for someone else to mention. Our guide, Kubindra, the owner, and all of them were wonderfully attentive and helpful.
The farewell dinner, airport transfer, and all other aspects of the trip exceeded our expectations at every turn. Every day, Kubindra and his team worked very hard to make sure our needs were met.
As a result, Kubindra runs his company with a genuine desire to please his clients. We might be happy that we came across them rather than have to navigate through the website looking for a reputable company.

My party and I successfully finished the upper Mustang trip with Info Trekking Nepal, which was excellent! The managing director of Info Trekking Nepal is really helpful and motivating when it comes to planning our journey and setting up our route.
We felt really safe and secure thanks to our knowledgeable guides and porters, who also took care of everything so we didn't have to worry about a thing.
They were always professional but also had fun. I couldn't have asked for a better trip, and I wouldn't think twice about going back to them. I give them a 10/10 recommendation.

My Upper Mustang trek in Nepal was expertly organized by Kubindra and the Info Trekking Nepal team. Kubindra always responded promptly, and it was indeed a pleasure to work with him. He had everything already organized for me when I got to Kathmandu.
I was really impressed with Info Trekking Nepal's guide and porters. They took care of everything, including picking me up at the airport, transporting me to the hotel, and picking me up again from the hotel to the airport.
Besides, Kubindra expertly led the trek and showed constant concern for our health and welfare. The entire team was also incredibly amiable and enjoyable to be around. I can very strongly recommend Info Trekking Nepal for any treks in Nepal.
