Great trek with a great guide We had a great experience with our guide Narayan, hiking the Manaslu circuit- he was professional and responsible, attentive to our needs, and very knowledgeable about the trail and the best places to stay, eat, etc.. We felt very cared for and free to enjoy the trek without thinking about logistics.

Must visit! Had a wonderful time, 5 days in Mardi Himal were as magical as promised. Was lucky to have Mr. Bikram as the guide - very knowledgeable and polite demeanour. The sceneries were indeed breathtaking, and the itinerary was extremely well planned. 10/10, highly recommend! Thanks to Mission Eco Trek and special thanks to Mr. Bikram!

Definitely coming back to Nepal again My initial plan was to visit Nepal once only. However, having our guide showed us around Kathmandu and the Suntalabati area, and she has successfully changed my mind. With her enthusiasm, she has persuaded my sister and I to come back again!

Awesome ABC Trek via Phoon Hill This is the second time I’ve chosen Mission Eco Trek Co. for a holiday trip. For this trek, I decided two weeks before departure as a solo traveler. Jitendra, the owner, patiently tailored a customized itinerary that fit my schedule. The trek is a 7-day ABC trek via Phoon Hill. Everything was smoothly arranged, except for the unpredictable weather – of course, that’s always an element you have to expect. Above all, my guide, Sundar, was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely caring. He took care of every detail throughout the journey, which made my trek to and from ABC truly wonderful. During the trek, I even started planning my next one, deciding which trek to take and when. To conclude: what a great experience!

A very trustworthy company! I booked a morningtrip to Nagarkot with a 2 hour hiking trip. I had the best time with mr Jitendra who runs the company and was my guide himself. He added some extra’s to the trip (eg the suspension bridge) bc the weather was cloudy and I didn’t have a good view of the mountains (which was my main purpose). He knows a lot about Nepal and is one of the kindest man I met on all my travels. When I’m back in Nepal I will contact him for sure for other trips. Thanks again!

An Unforgettable Journey to ABC with Mission Eco Trek I recently completed a one-week trek to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) with Mission Eco Trek, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the organization was seamless, allowing our group to fully immerse ourselves in the stunning Himalayan scenery. The absolute highlight of our trip, however, was our guide, Sundar. I cannot praise his contribution enough. Throughout the entire week, Sundar went above and beyond to ensure everyone in the group was safe, comfortable, and happy. What really set Sundar apart was his: • Detailed Care: He was incredibly attentive to the needs of every group member, constantly checking on our pace and well-being. • Attention to Detail: Whether it was briefing us on the daily terrain, managing our logistics at the tea houses, or sharing insights about the local culture, his preparation was flawless. • Supportive Attitude: He has a "super caring" nature that made even the toughest uphill climbs feel manageable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests' experience. If you are planning a trek in Nepal, I highly recommend booking with Mission Eco Trek and specifically asking for Sundar. He turned a great trek into a truly life-changing experience. Thank you, Sundar and the Mission Eco Trek team, for the memories!

The best Travel agency in Thamel I found this travel agency at almost end of the day, still Mr. Jitendra quickly arranged a group tours for 2days. He gave me a good price which is the best price in Thamel area. He also made sure my 2nd day trip to Bhaktipur and Doleshwar Mahadev is completed when there was no group tours for it.

Exceptional Personalized Service – Our Second Perfect Journey with Jitendra! If you are looking for a travel agency in Nepal that truly cares about your experience, look no further than Mission Eco Trek. This was our second time organizing a trip with Jitendra, and once again, he has proven why he is the best in the business. Personalized Planning at its Best What makes Mission Eco Trek stand out is Jitendra’s incredible ability to listen. He doesn't just sell you a standard tour package; he takes the time to understand exactly what you are looking for and tailors the itinerary to fit your specific needs and pace. Whether you are an experienced trekker or a casual traveler, he ensures the trip is "yours." Highlights of Our Trip On this journey, we did a 4-day hike around the Pokhara region. The organization was flawless. Our guides were not only professional and knowledgeable about the mountains but were also incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we were comfortable every step of the way. The views were breathtaking, and the pace was exactly what we had asked for. Furthermore, Jitendra organized a tailored trip to Bhutan for us. Planning a cross-border trip can often be stressful, but he handled everything seamlessly. The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, allowing us to see the highlights of Bhutan while maintaining the flexibility we enjoy. Going the Extra Mile Jitendra is one of those rare business owners who truly goes the extra mile. He stayed in constant communication with us to ensure everything was going smoothly and that we were happy. His attention to detail and genuine passion for hospitality made us feel like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a tour company. Final Verdict We are beyond happy with our holidays. If you are planning a trip to Nepal, Bhutan, or the surrounding regions, I highly recommend booking with Jitendra and Mission Eco Trek. You will get a stress-free, expertly curated, and deeply authentic experience. We are already looking forward to trip number three!
