  Fun and pleasant experience with Sublime Trails

  I spent a week in Nepal with 2 other friends and explored Kathmandu and Pokhara. Was initially apprehensive about traveling to a relatively unfamiliar place. However, the entire experience was pleasant, enjoyable and worry-free thanks to the seamless arrangements made by Ram. The schedule provided by was well-thought through-we got to cover many of the must-see attractions without once feeling too rushed or bored. Also, the guides who accompanied us to the attractions were knowledgeable and engaging, giving us interesting insights into Nepalese history and culture. Especially enjoyed the time in Pokhara, where we got to see the beautiful lakes, woke up to a view of the Himalayan range and caught the sunrise at Sarangkot.
  
  Throughout the trip, Ram made sure we got to try the yummy local foods (even if it wasn't conveniently available) and made us feel welcome and at ease in Nepal by spending time over meals with us and making sure we were doing ok. He made it a point to talk through our itinerary with us, and worked around our needs and expectations. I'd look up Sublime trails the next time I'm back in Nepal, and would definitely recommend them if you're seeking for a fun, affordable, enjoyable and worry-free adventure in Nepal :)

  Excellent first trekking experience !Shana Tay

  We went on a 6-day trek, followed by bungy jumping, water rafting, and a one-day city tour. Almost the whole group of 9 were first timers in trekking.
  Ram is very experienced. He could name us every tree or flower that we asked about. We were also very grateful that he and his team of assistant guide Suraj and porters went out of their way to help us fulfill, not just our needs but also our whims - running around the mountain village to hunt for a chicken because we talked about craving for meat. During one of the toughest days of the trek, the porters, who have already accomplished their job for the day, voluntarily left the comfort of the tea house to accompany a few of us slowpokes through the last bit of the snowy rainy dark night, giving us more light and encouragement to go on.
  I also liked that Ram takes care of his porters and does not make them carry too much load, unlike some of the other poor porters we saw on the way. And the tea houses we stay in use the more environmentally-friendly option of solar power heating.
