We booked our trekking with Northern Trekking Team and were treated like family. Mingmar is flexible and sensitive to our needs. We had to reschedule our whole trip due to weather, but is was done in a day so there was no delay.
He showed us every nice corner in the Annapurna Circuit and was always looking for our comfort. This made the trekking a lot easier.

This was without a doubt the most beautiful adventure journey I have ever taken. If you want to visit the Himalayas I would 100% recommend the Northern Trekking team. They were courteous, knowledgeable and caring no matter what the situation. My group of friends and I felt so safe and comfortable with them at our sides through the entire trip! I was impressed with just how many connections of folks they know on the trails and they have all the right back up gear to make you feel confident in the plan… and the back up plan! I’ve traveled to quite a few hiking and trekking locations, but none as beautiful and massive as this. Having a trusted team with you to manage every situation is a huge weight off and I would highly highly recommend having a guide in this area. The Northern Trekking team was so on top of everything - it makes it easy not to worry and to truly enjoy your well deserved vacation!

We had an amazing experience on the Everest Base Camp trek with Northern Treking team. From the minute we arrived in Nepal to the moment we left, our guides took great care of our group and was the definition of hospitality and professionalism. Along the trek, our guides ensured our accommodations and schedule exceeded our expectations. They were great at introducing us to the culture, the mountains and wildlife, and surprising us at the most needed moments with snacks and tea. They helped to ensure our entire group made it safely to base camp!
I would 100% recommend Northern Treking team and their guides for your Nepal and mountain adventures. We came to Nepal with a sense of adventure, and we left with new friends and memories we will never forget. The team made this the trip of a lifetime. Thank you Northern Treking team!

This year I had my third trek with Mingmar and he truly delivered. He can't change the weather but he is flexible and knows exactly how to make the best out of given circumstances.
So when Lukla airport was closed for a few days we changed our plans for a different trek and after that made sure I could do Mera Peak after that. He made me feel safe and secure, helped me through some mental barriers and knew when I really met a physical barrier (Yes, you will encounter yourself). I couldn't wish for a better guide.

Reaching Base Camp was a profound moment, but it was the bond I formed with Ngawang Sherpa and the Northern Trekking Team that truly defined my journey. No adventure is complete without the incredible people we meet along the way, and I’m forever grateful for my Sherpa’s friendship.

This was my third time in Nepal, and Northern Trekking Team once again exceeded all expectations! Our group of six had an incredible experience, and despite booking last minute, everything went off without a hitch.
Mingmar, the director, took great care of all the arrangements and was very accommodating when we decided to extend our time in the mountains and in Kathmandu. His commitment to making sure our trip was perfect really made a difference.
Our guide, Nawang Sherpa, was fantastic. His deep knowledge of the trails and the culture, along with his warm personality, made the trek even more memorable. The bond between our group and the other trekkers and guides from Northern Trekking Team gave the trip a real sense of community.
Even after visiting Nepal multiple times, this trek felt like a new adventure, and I’m already looking forward to my next trip. My recommendation? Don’t hesitate to take on the full trekking experience because once you’re in those breathtaking mountains, you won’t want to turn back!

My partner and I recently completed an 15-day Mera Peak trek, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We were blessed with amazing weather, which made the views even more spectacular.
Our guide, Mingmar, was fantastic. He was highly knowledgeable about the mountains and local villages, sharing interesting insights along the way. Mingmar brought a wonderful balance of professionalism and fun, and his cheerful energy made him a favorite among others in the teahouses. Even when I wasn’t feeling my best, he and his team were incredibly patient and supportive, especially when I needed to slow down.
Mingmar’s excellent English made communication easy, and his stories and laughter made every day enjoyable. We had an incredible time in the Mera Peak Climbing, and we’ll definitely choose Northern Trekking Team again when we return to Nepal. Next time, with some extra training, I’m hoping to try Amadablam hahahaha!

We, two fellow climbers and I had an incredible expedition with Northern Trekking Team, and reaching the top of Mera Peak was a life-changing experience.
From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, we were in great hands. Mingmar, the company owner, met with us personally to give us a detailed briefing and introduce us to our guide, Sonam. This meeting helped us make final adjustments for our two-week journey ahead. Sonam was supported by two awesome porters, jivan and Ram, who helped carry our heavy bags along the way.
Sonam made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire trek. We stayed in cozy teahouses, enjoyed good food, and, for a couple of nights, camped in tents, which added to the adventure. Along the way, we met wonderful people, took in stunning views, and achieved our goal of standing on the summit.
Mingmar managed every detail perfectly. I couldn’t ask for a better-organized trip. Thank you to the whole team! If you're looking for a trusted guide company in Nepal, book with Northern Trekking Team – they’ll take great care of you.
Already looking forward to another adventure with them!

We had an amazing experience trekking to Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp in 7 days. Originally, we planned to do the Everest Panorama trek, but when weather caused flight cancellations, Mingmar quickly rerouted us to this trek instead—and we’re so glad he did! This route gave us everything we hoped for, with breathtaking mountain views and the full Himalayan experience.
Gopal, our guide, was fantastic. With his deep knowledge of the mountains and local culture, he shared interesting stories and facts along the way. He made sure all our accommodations were arranged, even when we made last-minute changes. Gopal's energy kept us motivated, and he has a great eye for photos too! Jivan, our porter, was incredibly strong and reliable, always nearby to support us without ever rushing ahead.
Though it was a challenging trek, it’s one we’ll remember with great fondness. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a true Himalayan adventure!

Our experience with Northern Trekking Team on our 12-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp was outstanding! Mingmar delivered on everything promised, from meeting us at the airport to taking us to fantastic restaurants in Kathmandu. He also arranged excellent hotels in both Kathmandu and Pokhara, making sure we were comfortable every step of the way.
Our guide Sonam and porter Maila were incredible – professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. They handled everything smoothly, and nothing was ever too much trouble.
I highly recommend NTT to anyone planning a trip to Nepal. This was my second visit, and I’ll definitely choose them again for my next adventure.

Our trek with Ming and his team was amazing! We hiked the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake Loop on our own, but Ming stayed in touch, checking in and offering help when we needed it. He even moved up our Mera Peak Climb when snow was forecasted, making sure we reached the summit safely in good weather.
Mera Peak Climb was unforgettable! Our group had excellent guide, Tashi Sherpa, who was experienced, friendly, and made us feel safe the entire way. The gear they provided was top-notch. After our climb, Ming arranged a direct flight from Lukla to Kathmandu, saving us a long drive.
From start to finish, Ming's support and knowledge made our trek smooth and enjoyable. If you’re planning a trek, choose Ming and the Northern Trekking Team – they’re fantastic!

I just returned from an incredible 15-day trek to Mera Peak with Northern Trekking Team, led by Gelu Sherpa, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Gelu brought an amazing balance of expertise, care, and warmth to the experience. His main focus was always on our group’s safety and well-being, which made us feel completely secure in every step of the journey. Beyond his professionalism, Gelu’s friendly attitude and sense of humor made even the toughest days enjoyable and memorable. For anyone considering a trek in Nepal, Northern Trekking Team with Gelu Sherpa as your guide is the perfect choice for an unforgettable adventure.

Northern Trekking Team organized my Island Peak climb flawlessly. My guide, Fura Sherpa, who has summited Mt. Everest multiple times, accompanied me from Kathmandu all the way to the peak. He was incredibly dependable and one of the friendliest guides I’ve ever worked with. Fura made sure everything was in order, from the climbing gear and ropes to our accommodation and meals in the mountains. We were joined by two porters who supported us from Island Peak Base Camp at 4700m to High Camp at 5100m. On summit day, Fura's constant encouragement kept me going, and with his help, I successfully reached the summit. There were moments I thought I couldn’t make it, but his guidance helped me fulfill my dream. I had an amazing adventure and an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this expert team!

Although I’ve always been adventurous, I never had enough time to dedicate three full weeks to trekking in the Himalayas due to my demanding job. Northern Trekking Team offered the perfect alternative: an 11-day Everest Base Camp trek with a helicopter return. This allowed me to enjoy the classic route, hiking to Base Camp, but with the convenience of flying back to avoid the long descent.
The trek was filled with unforgettable moments—from the stunning landscapes of the Khumbu Valley to reaching Everest Base Camp on Day 9, which was an incredible milestone. But the highlight for me was the next day when we hiked to the top of Kala Patthar. The panoramic views were absolutely worth it. After that, instead of heading back the same way, we hopped on a helicopter for a breathtaking flight back to Kathmandu, offering one last spectacular view of Everest before heading home. If you're short on time but want a true Himalayan adventure, Northern Trekking Team’s unique package is the way to go!

Our guide, Ming Mar, was exceptional—his deep knowledge of the region and constant support made the trek smooth and enjoyable. He ensured our safety and kept our spirits high throughout the challenging journey. This trek offers a unique, less-traveled path, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m already looking forward to returning to Nepal for another trek with him...

Anyway, as we know that Lukla airport is always have uncertain about the schedule. NTT give us choice to reach lukla by land (as we have had twice cancelled flight).
And along the way, they very welcome and accommodating about our plan and schedule, like some of us want to include bunge jump in Hilary Bridges.
That’s amazing.
Great job NTT

Recently i used Northern Trekking Team services with my friends for going to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Ri.
Personally, the favorite part for me is that they can offer you an immediate option if somethin were not right in the middle of the journey, and still can make it work for your whole trip. I like the positive thinkingness of the team. Although at some points, because we deal with the nature, we need to have big heart, no matter how hard we try, if the mothernature says "no", than its a "no".

If you’re planning for the Everest Base Camp trek and worried about what to take?
That’s perfectly understandable. The EBC - Gokyo is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it’s natural to be worried that you’ll forget something important and ruin your trip. If you need something, you can discuss with Northern Trekking Team (NTT).
I was worried about AMS and NTT try his best to maintain our team in good shape.
They gave me a great explanation about everything needs in track for group travelers like me. NTT even help me preparing gears night before i flight to lukla, but due to weather condition, we can not flight to lukla and try to go to paiya by road. From paiya we heading to Phakding.
In the trekking, i was guided by experience and very kind guy name Anil. We make a great teamwork.

Mingmar, the owner of Northern Trekking Team, ensured everything ran smoothly, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the journey. The breathtaking views of Everest and the surrounding Himalayan peaks truly made this trek a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Highly recommended!

Mingmar is a great guy to manage everything correctly and accordingly. He gave me a great explanation about everything needs in track for solo travelers like me. He even help me buying gears night before i flight to lukla.
He manage to get me direct flight to lukla and i get Helicopter Wowww best! I don't even expect it, not additional price. Its his specialty to comfort the guest so i can start my hiking on time.
In the trekking, i was guided by experience and very kind guy name Bishnu. He humbly service and take care of me really well, different with other guide he took me to buddhist monk monastery so i can see monks life and cultures. He is funny and make me comfort for 'not morning person' like me. But we make a great teamwork. I did everest base camp on time and finish the program faster just because I really enjoy and comfort talk and joking with him. I feel relax and happy during the trip and thats my goal. Im here to get my goals but holidayat the same time.
In flight back to kathmandu Bishnu also arrange and changz the flight so i can arrive on time and directs. I feel safe and happy.
In kathmandu guide Chirring also help me throughout remaining days i stayed.
Overall i said the northern trekking team is the best option and ultimate choices for you to have a happy experience or lifetime experience in Nepal. I will never forget your kindness, great treatment and love you all guys. Miss you already. Forever friendships.

Excellent company ever
Having trekked Lobuche peak and Everest Base Camp a few years ago, I returned to Nepal for my second trekking adventure, this time opting for the Langtang Valley trek with the Northern Trekking Team. The experience was just as breathtaking and memorable as my first trek, if not more so.
The Northern Trekking Team once again exceeded my expectations with their outstanding service. Our guide/owner Mingmar, was very attentive to our needs, ensuring that we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. The porters were equally impressive, handling our belongings with great care and always offering a friendly smile. Read more
