Jomsom - Muktinath - Pokhara


Fantastic 11 day trek through some wonderful scenery and landscape. A brilliant way to meet a Nepali and also some Tibetans. We were very well looked after by our guide, Krishna and porter Bhakta. Always the best rooms and food in the teahouses. For someone whose only experience is golf, Krsihna make sure the pace was just right for me ! We had a great fun, singing and dancing on some evenings.


Chitwan - Again a brilliant experience. Saw lots of animals and birds, including a bear. Bathing with the elephant cannot be missed. Jungle activities were catered to meet our interests.


We shall be recommending First Environmental to our friends back home.
If you're reading this and not too certain of going on a trek - Don't hesitate, go for it. You will be well cared for and looked after.


Many thanks to all and in particular Krishna and Bhakta.

Annapurna Base Camp

The day I arrived to Nepal I was picked up from the airport, comport settaled in right away the company was like a family, great in every way. I highly recommend their service. I chose to take on the Annapurna trek for 12 day the experience was breathtaking, majestic, everything was provided. At time it was strenuous walking but worth every effort. It's great to get away from the city life. As you inbark on a uninterrupted journey by the time you reach base camp. Mother nature has provided the greatest picture ever. You are on top of the world, heaven on earth what a reward. But most of all my greatest gratitude goes towards my guide. We became best of friends between is their was a connection immediate and obvious that he embraces every moment as you would there for we were on the same level from the start.

I have returned from a 14-day trek up to Annnapurna Base camp & then over the Jomsom. The trek went very well & I was extremely pleased with the services provided by the guide, Shiva, and my porter, Surya, It was a fabulous experience & I would highly recommend the team of First Environmental. They were very professional & Knowledgable , as well as knowing how to deal with minor injuries. I hope anyone that chooses a trek - The Annapurna region has a wonderful time as well.

We had a wonderful 7-day trek from Jomsom to Beni along the river valley in the Annapurna region. Our guide, Ang Dawa Sherpa, had a comprehensive knowledge of the region, it's history, travel routes a times, mountain characteristics, and alternative options. His English was also superb. The trek route was beautiful with a varied terrain & variety of vegetation, environment settings. The teahouses were very comfortable and clean. We were pleased that we remained perfectly healthy throughout the entire trek. First Environmental Trekking covered all of our needs. Nava, was extremely responsive to all of our questions & concern prior to booking and arriving in Nepal. We were thoroughly pleased & impressed with the services & knowledge of First Environmental Trekking and it's staffs. We would certainly recommend the group and use them again when we return to Nepal.

We enjoyed the trek to Poon Hill very much. The arrangements were handled in very professional manner and our guide Krishna was excellent. He handled all of the accommodation at the many guesthouses in a low-key and very efficient manner. He also sums to it that that we ordered our meals in advance. He is knowledgeable of the customs of the people in the villages along the way added to our enjoyment. He also provided some historical background. The matter was excellent for our descent to Poon Hill and the scenery was excellent.

A special thanks to a very kind man who was very helpful when I was alone and not feeling well in Kathmandu. He provided one with very kind guides and organised my trip to reach my friends.


Thank you very much, I'll remember and tell other people.

Annapurna Circuit


Our 21 days trek of the circuit was awesome. Our guide ANG DAWA SHERPA was a huge factor to the great time + memorable experience we had. At all time he was professional, knowledgeable, strong + sensitive to our needs - everything you want in a guide. He intimately knew the mountains + the village people. His mountaineering background + stories were interesting too, at the end of the trek he left as our friend. We can't recommend him enough.


The package put together by First Environmental was also professional, reasonable + of high quality. Our accommodation, food etc, we were very pleased with. Overall we thought that this longer trek was a great way to see some of Nepal.

We have just arrived back in Kathmadnu after returning from a 10-day trek around the Annapurna Sanctuary.


It was a fantastic experience and one we will never forget. We found the trek good value of money and through our guide - Arjun Neopane, learnt loads about Nepali culture as well as some of the language.


Arjun was great fun and a very experienced guide. He really made our trip a special one and we'll definitely be keeping in touch.


We found the trek really flexible, we could go at our own place and spend longer in a particular place as we wanted to.


We'd highly recommend booking a trek through First Environmental and if you can get Arjun as your guide then all the better.
