When I first arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal, I was aware that finding a good trek would be easy as it is a very busy tourist destination. What I didn’t know is how easy it was to get lost and confused by all the hundreds of companies screaming at you around every corner for your business. It is safe to assume that many of them are going to try and rip you off – so don’t be afraid to bargain. After the overwhelming experience of trying to find someone to take me on a trip up to Nagarkot for the sunset, I was calm, cool and collected when I finally met Prakash, the business owner and manager of Google Treks Nepal.

The difference I found between Google Treks Nepal and the rest of them is that their office was high up from the rest nestled in a little bungalow from all the noise and chaos. There was no one outside haggling you for business and pressuring you into over priced tours. Prakash is an honest and sincere business man whom which I had the pleasure of meeting a couple times while in Nepal.

This blog posting will guide you on the best things to do and see in Nepal. It will also serve the purpose of helping you avoid the hagglers and simply go with the best and the most affordable. Though Google Treks Nepal offers guided and pre-planned tours (as the ones listed below), they can also customize tours for your convenience in order for you to make the most of your trip to Nepal.
