In October 2024, I embarked on the unforgettable Thorong La trek with Subash, who made the journey extraordinary. Starting from Manang, we ventured to the breathtaking Tilicho Lake, whose stunning blue waters nestled amidst towering peaks left me in awe. The trail to Tilicho was adventurous, and though challenging, every step was worth it. Subash, fresh from expeditions to Manaslu and Everest, was a pillar of support, sharing stories, guiding us through tricky sections, and keeping spirits high. After Tilicho, we headed to Yak Kharka, staying at the cosy Gangapurna Hotel. The food, especially dhido and gundruk, remains unforgettable. Finally, crossing Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters was a moment of immense pride, rewarded with panoramic views. Thanks to Subash, this trek was smooth and memorable. It’s a challenging yet life-changing experience I’ll treasure forever.

Kalinchowk is truly a hidden gem. I had an unforgettable experience visiting this incredible destination with Sujan. The breathtaking views, the thrilling cable car ride, delicious food, and excellent accommodations made it a trip to remember. I highly recommend Kalinchowk for anyone looking to explore the scenic surroundings near Kathmandu, ascend to 3,842 meters, and soak in the panoramic beauty of the Annapurna and Mahalangur mountain ranges. Traveling with Sujan is always a rewarding experience. His deep knowledge of Nepal’s culture, history, religion, and geography adds immense value to every journey. Sujan ensures every detail is taken care of, leaving no room for complaints. I’m already looking forward to more tours and treks with him in the future!

It was a fantastic and unforgettable moment with the Trek Mate as well as Mr. Subash G. Trek Mate is one of the well-organised trekking companies with a well-experienced guide and friendly staff where you can find the best service. I am thankful to Trek Mate for the well-educated and experienced trekking and peak climbing guide, Mr. Subash G. I was on the Langtang Valley trek and peak climbing to the northern side from the Kathmandu Valley near the Tibet border. It was a 15-day trek altogether. Subash G was very much, frankly, well educated, experienced, and well known about the culture and lifestyle of the local people. And he was also a great climber who had already successfully summited the world's highest mountain, Mt. Everest, Mt. Manaslu, one of the technical mountains, and many smaller peaks in Nepal, and he was planning to go further more. I was very happy to have such a guide. Missing you guys a lot. Hope to see you soon in 2025. I highly recommend Trek Mate for your trek in Nepal for the first time as well as for more treks in Nepal.

Gosaikunda trek has been the most fulfilling adventure of my life, and I’m immensely grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The beautiful glacier lakes along the way to Gosaikunda Lake were truly enchanting, but the most awe-inspiring moment was reaching Gosaikunda Lake itself. Its serene beauty and spiritual energy felt deeply profound, as if it connected me to another dimension Thanks to Trekking Mate for making it all possible! Highly recommended.
