Manoel Morgado, Tour operator, Brazil

I write here as a guide and as a tour operator with 20 years experience in adventure tourism in Nepal. Far Out Nepal has being my local tour operator for the last 8 years providing my clients with the best service that I could expect, professional and yet personal with excellent staff, latest imported equipment, imaginative solutions and suggestions, helping me to develop a successful operation in Brazil.

Being on the treks with my clients, I was able to compare the services
that my clients always received with to what the others groups were
provided. Every need of my clients were taken care with attention and
professionalism. We run tea house treks, camping trips and trekking peak
climbing trips and in all those Far Out Nepal was able to meet my high
demands and expectations of staff, accommodation, equipment, food and
technical support.

I wholehearted recommend Far Out Nepal to all those who want to have an unforgettable experience in Nepal as well as to foreign tour operators
who want the best possible service for their clients.

In 2004 we organised an Everest trek direct with Far Out Trekking, and we cannot praise them highly enough.  From the welcome at the airport, complete with fresh flower garlands, to our farewell three weeks later nothing was too much trouble, and our welfare and safety were always paramount.

We booked direct on recommendation, as we had specific things we wanted to see and do, and  we also wanted our  trip costs to go direct to the people of Nepal.  What a fantastic trip we had!  Our guides Nima and Dorji were brilliant, great fun, and great organisers – we always seemed to get the best rooms in the lodges, and at Tengboche, where we stayed for 3 nights for the Mani Rimdu festival, we stayed in a brand new room, only just open, with a perfect view of Mount Everest!

We were looked after magnificently, to the extent that  a gammow bag [portable oxygen chamber] was with us on the whole trip, even though there were only two of us. But the height of luxury came as we got higher and the nights got colder – two hot water bottles were produced, and every night Dorji faithfully filled them up and pre warmed our sleeping bags!!  I don’t know of any other company that would go to those lengths for their clients. 

Everything about the trip was so memorable -  the private blessing from Lama Geshe at Pangboche Gompa that Nima organised for us; the solemnity of the Sherpa memorial, the unforgettable view of Sagamartha from the top of Kala Pattar and the final goal – base camp!!!

We were so impressed with Far Out Trekking that we asked them to organise a trip to Tibet in 2006 and again everything more than lived up to our expectations, even though we had to take an organised trip within Tibet.  And we are planning to take a further trip in 2009, to Bhutan, again organised by Far Out - we wouldn’t dream of using any other company for any trips in the region.

Traveling with Nima means you are in great company and in safe hands. He is a very experienced guide in all parts of the Himalayas and a fun guy to be with. He has experience with high altitude climbing, making sure that you are well acclimatized before heading for the top. Beside Nima’s professional guiding skills, he tells fascinating stories about the Nepali culture and the outdoor life. When trekking with Nima, he wakes you up early in the morning with a big smile, to show you the most beautiful sunrise you have every seen. During the day he’ll make sure that you have enough tea-stops to take a rest and enjoy the Nepali noodle soup. Because Nima has good relations with many local Nepali, he will take you to the best place to sleep. We have been trekking with Nima 3 times the last couple of years, all of which have been great experiences.

Sunir is the best English speaking travel agent in Nepal. When you ask him something, consider it done. Hotel rooms, flight tickets, bus transportation, guides and porters are quickly arranged. Sunir is a very reliable person with high integrity.

“After a long flight, it was lovely to be greeted at the airport with a garland and a smile, and taken to our quiet hotel in the centre of Thamel”

“The organization is second to none and it was nice to see that everything had been taken care of”

“Our trip this year to Island, Lobuche, Pokalde, EBC and Gokyo, was even better than our trip last year to Mera”

“The porters are all very friendly and incredibly hard-working as are the kitchen staff who continue to amaze with the food they can cook at 5000m!”“excellent guides who are courteous and very knowledgeable of the area”

As a foreign tour operator I have been working with Far Out Nepal for long time and say something about them is too easy for me. I can say words as a business partner and I can say a lot of words as a friend too. The relationship I had been with them for the past 10 years or so, it is more than only business. I can say that I have friends, more than partners.

But, speaking as a tour operator, working with Far Out Nepal for all those years, organizing, not only trekkings, but mainly cultural trips all around Nepal, I can say that I have no doubts in sending our clients to them, not only to take care about issues regarding the trip, but most important, have confidence that they will fulfill our clients long life dream to get know better this wonderful country.
