Trekking in Nepal

In late 2015 my partner and I rocked out of the Kathmandu airport with no concrete plans as to where we wanted to go trekking in Nepal. We met Chin Thapa at our hotel in the afternoon and immediately took to his beaming smile and friendly manner. We told him we were interested trekking around Annapurna for ~5-6 days and by 8pm he already had an unbeatable quote for the entire trip including travel, meals and accommodation.

For the 6 days we trekked around Annapurna we couldn’t believe the quality of the places we stayed (for the price) and the outstanding hospitality we received. Chin our guide was always 100% accommodating of our interests and not to mention one of the most top notch blokes we have ever met. An absolute ‘legend of the game’ as they say.

I can’t wait to return to Nepal and I know the first place I will be going as soon as I get off the plane.

Me and my sister trekked to Annapurna Basecamp in November 2016 with Chin (my guide) and it was definitely one of the best experiences that I have. Chin really took care of us by accommodating to our needs especially when there were a few last minute request and he was very knowledgeable about Nepal, explaning the finest details which the trip has to offer and also the conversation with him felt as though we known each other for a very long time. My sister is an inexperienced trekker hence she was skeptical at first with regards to this trip, however with Chin’s assurance it sure calmed her nerves and we both enjoyed the trek till the very end. Thank Chin for the amazing journey !!!

One of the best trek I ever had with Mr. Chin. He is a very friendly and best guide I ever had when trekking. It was the short trek to poon hill but all the moment was very enjoyable with the best guide Mr. Chin. The trekking to poon hill was very very awesome which I can’t forget. The sunrise, landscapes and beautiful mountains surrounding me when trekking poon hill was a very good experience. And Mr. Chin really helped us to reach there safely. It was very fun with the Pristine Nepal team and I will look forward to traveling with Chin again.

We had an incredible time in Nepal. Pristine Nepal organized a wonderful experience for a friend and I. We started and ended our adventure in Kathmandu with a pickup and drop off at the airport. Ganesh was our tour guide around the city with much knowledge at each site. Then we left Kathmandu to start our trek to Annapurna Base Camp with Chin. It was a 10-day journey to ABC, but so worth it at the end. After coming down from the mountain, we had a few days to recover at a yoga camp in Pohkara. Then we went rafting down the river and onto Chitwan National Park where the one-horned rhinos are making a comeback. Our entire trip was organized by Chin and his staff at Pristine Nepal! They gave detailed attention to each segment of our journey…you just don’t get this kind of customer service with other companies. You won’t go wrong planning your Nepal adventure with them!

With 4 friends I booked a trip from Nepalgunj to Kathmandu via Lumbini, Chitwan, Salang. We were demanding from Mr. Chin a flexible approach and we got it. He was always very friendly, helpful and competent. As a guide in Kathmandu, he knew a lot of interesting stories to tell and we had a good laugh…also important. I have been many times in Nepal and as a travel agent Chin, I like most. Thank you very much Chin.. we will meet again.

I really wanted to do volunteering in Nepal but it was hard to find a transparent company to do it with, Ganesh, chin & tika run an organization of free volunteering here in Nepal with various programs. (paying 1000rp per day for food and accommodation which is all provided for). I have been volunteering in a women’s school, women of all ages as women were not sent to school in Nepal until recently so many missed out on an education, and it has been a life-changing experience. I really love Ganesh and his family, they have been so hospitable and their heart is fully in the cause of what they are doing and I think that is the most important thing when it comes to volunteering.

& Our white water rafting experience was literally SOOO much fun, everyone has been so friendly and helpful, Chin organized everything for us, including the bus to and from the riverside. We actually missed the bus on the way back so they organized a minivan to take us back to Kathmandu, he even dropped us right on our street 🙂

Straightforward planning and organization of the whole trip!
Pick up by the guide worked smoothly and without any problems. Throughout the whole trekking trip, the guide supplied us with interesting cultural insights into this very amazing country. The accommodation was simple but always safe and well-planned. At any point we could approach our guide with questions or remarks, he was very open to helping us with any problem at any time.
I can highly recommend not only trekking this country in general, but also with this company in particular. They took very good care of us!
I appreciate the professional work. Thank you very much!
