Went on a Mardi Himal trekking adventure, and I cannot express enough gratitude to my incredible guide Phurkel for making this experience truly unforgettable. He ensured that every detail was meticulously planned, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas without a single worry. His extensive knowledge of the trail, surrounding areas and on the types of birds, added an enriching layer to my journey. Highly recommend this company and guide to anyone considering a trekking adventure in the Himalayas. They will undoubtedly enhance your experience. Definitely will be back again to explore other trails in the Himalayas!

Had an amazing experience of the “Everest View Trek” with Phurkel! Organised and down-to-earth. Ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish and always making sure everyone was well taken cared of. His relaxed nature and patience (with our endless questions), along with his insightful sharing about the trails, wildlife and local culture, made the trek stress-free and more “bearable”. 😆 I would highly recommend Phurkel if you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional guide!

Hats off to Phurkel Sherpa, many thanks again to you for a wonderful ten days exploring Nepal. I was recommended Phurkel as a guide by a friend, and I'm so glad that I hired him. I explained my requirements and limitations (such as budget and location), and Phurkel tailored a trekking package for me. He gave me several options, and I settled on the Annapurna Circuit trek, which best suited my goals and budget. He picked me up and dropped me off from my hotels in Kathmandu before and after the trek. Phurkel even gave me tips and advice about where to go either side of the trek - thanks for the recommendation of Nagarkot, what an amazing place to acclimatise! From beginning to end, Phurkel was thoughtful, knowledgeable and generous. He always checked that I was alright physically and mentally, making sure that I stayed hydrated and well-fed. Despite our trek being in the off-season, his good relationships with the owners of hotels and teahouses meant we always had somewhere nice to stay and tasty meals to eat. So many good dal bhats! To top it off, Phurkel is deeply knowledgeable about his country, its people and its wildlife. I learned so much about Nepal's numerous ethnic groups, their ancient cultures and the amazing locations they live in. Phurkel is also an expert on local wildlife, particularly Nepal's many bird species. I often felt like I was in my very own nature documentary - he would make every effort to show me all the birds he spotted (he's a proper eagle eye!) More than anything, Phurkel is great company. I was a solo trekker, so we spent a lot of time together. He was always available to chat when I wanted to, and he thoughtfully answered my many, many questions. Perhaps most importantly, and one of the reasons I would like to call Phurkel a good friend, he made sure that I had the space to be private and alone when I needed it. Genuinely one of the best weeks I've ever had, from beginning to end!

We had an unforgettable experience in Nepal, and much of the credit goes to our incredible tour guide - PhurkelSherpa. He did an excellent job taking care of us throughout the entire trip. His attention to detail and genuine concern for our well-being made all the difference. His extensive experience and deep knowledge of the region were evident throughout our journey. He was always ready to answer our questions about the trip, the sights we saw, and the culture of Nepal. His insights added a rich layer of understanding to our adventure. At every stop, he reminded us to drink water and kept checking on our condition, making sure we were feeling okay and ready to continue. He was always there to assist us, ensuring we were comfortable and safe. Thank you for making our journey so memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!

I just got back from ACT about 1 week ago and this is my 1st hiking trip at Nepal. I loved every bit of this journey as Phurkel arrangement is really giving me an ease of mind. Firstly, his prepping for us prior to arriving in Nepal is so assuring. Secondly, once we landed at Kathmandu Airport, he managed the entire journey smoothly. Thirdly, he guide us on how to complete the hike successfully and more importantly "safely". Phurkel is also very knowledgeable about the history and geography of the land and always willing to share those infor. He is also well verse of the bird species. Last but not least, he is a FUN guy.. and you need this as you be spending many days with your guife. (can't imagine if my guide is a quiet person) In summary, definitely recommend Phurkel to anyone who want to explore the wonder of Nepal.

I recently had the pleasure [Again] of embarking on a mountain adventure led by Phurkel Sherpa, and I felt compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. Even before we set foot on the trail, Phurkel demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise and professionalism. His extensive knowledge of the terrain, flora, and fauna, birds not only enhanced the journey but also provided valuable insights into the natural wonders surrounding us. What truly set Phurkel apart was his unwavering commitment to safety. At every step of the way, he prioritized the well-being of the group, ensuring that everyone felt secure and supported throughout the trek. Their clear communication and expert decision-making instilled a sense of confidence among us, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes without any worries. Moreover, Phurkel exhibited a genuine passion for the environment, sharing fascinating stories and anecdotes that added an enriching layer to the entire experience. Their love for the mountains was contagious, making the journey not only educational but also deeply inspiring. I also want to commend him and his team (of porters) for their exceptional interpersonal skills. They effortlessly fostered a sense of camaraderie within the group despite the language barriers. This sense of community greatly enhanced the overall enjoyment of the trip. In conclusion, I highly recommend Phurkel and his company (Trekking Guide 4 Nepal). Their professionalism, expertise, and passion for the mountains created an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all expectations. If you're seeking a guide who goes above and beyond to ensure a safe, educational, and truly enjoyable mountain experience, he is the perfect choice. I am grateful for the memories created under their guidance and look forward to future adventures with such a remarkable guide.
