We trekked with Dan and his team in November 2015, through the Mera Peak national park. We then summitted Mera Peak itself under Dan’s leadership.The whole expedition was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I whole heartedly recommend Dan as a guide. It was a fantastic expedition.
Dan has three great attributes that you look for on a trip like this:
Experience: He knows the routes, knows how to set the right pace to help you acclimatise, and planned out the trek so that we could not only achieve our objective, but so that we could enjoy Nepal’s rich beauty. He has great knowledge of local plants, culture and geography and is always coming up with little bits of information and knowledge to make the trail interesting.
Organisation: We arrived to every camp with the logistics arranged, food available, and camping or huts at our option.
Humour: Dan is a real entertainer in the evenings – and a master cards player! There is a lot of down time in the evenings on a long trek, and we filled the time playing cards. He even knows a few magic tricks. This added to the whole experience and helped us to bond with Dan, Palsang, Pravin and Diljeng (who were all also fantastic).
Some of the photos of us standing on top of the mountain are on Dan’s website – it was an incredible moment and we were proud to share it with him. If you are looking for a great local guide and a strong support team, Dan would be a great choice.
My only advice to other trekkers is to make sure to have plenty of Nepalese currency on the trail, as you will need it to buy drinks as you go. Because the areas are so inaccessible, drinks are quite expensive (much more than in e.g. Kathmandu).

Thank you Dan and Pasang for took care me very well. I never been to the high attitude place like this before..so it's hard for me to breath and walk up to the top of hill. Thank you to Pasang for carried my heavy bag all the way we walk. I will not make it to Poon Hill without you for sure.
I have wonderful time in Nepal, Hail storm, Dalbhat, Milk tea, cute girls on the way we passed, crazy girls in Ghandruk and many many things.

To my friends, 3 years ago I did the Annapurna trek in Nepal, slept in tea houses, drank Everest beer, sang and danced around the campfire, and haggled my way through busy Kathmandu and enjoying the amazing hospitality of a beautiful country. A real once in a life time experience. Check out Dan Tamang my guide new website please share if you like. Thanks for looking.
We were a party of 3 (my husband, John and my sister, Sandy) and we trekked for 17 days in the Lang-tang Valley, Gosainkund and Helambu in November this year. Our guide Bhim and porters, Bir and Banta did a wonderful job. Their organization was excellent.
Trekking for Real are a very professional, as well as being very kind and friendly. Trekking for Real are a family based business who will make sure that you have the best possible experience. They tailored our trek to suit our requirements and made sure that we were well looked after throughout the trek. I would definitely recommend that you book your trek with them if you want great value for money and the pleasure of dealing with such lovely people.

Many thanks for a brilliant trek. Linda and I thought Nepal was stunningly beautiful and our trip around Manaslu and over Larkya La was memorable for so many reasons - not least being the kindness and consideration of yourself and the rest of the crew (particularly given the added challenge of my leg recovering from an old skiing break!). The trip was very well organized, with good food and a portable paraffin heater (much to the envy of other rather colder high altitude walkers!). We can unreservedly recommend the services of Real Trekking to anybody contemplating a tea house or supported camping trek in the Himalayas.

Dave and I have known Dan Tamang since 1991 and have completed many treks with him over the years. We have been to Gokyo Ri & Kalar Patar twice, walking in from Jiri and Tumlingtar; we explored the Langtang/Hemabu Region, trekked in the Annapurna Regionm and had some fun safaris in Bardia and the Terai, even a visit to Lumbini. We would not trek or travel in Nepal with anyone else and have no hesitation in recommending Dan and Trekking for Real to anyone who wants a superb trek in Nepal or to visit other destinations where he operates. Dan and his colleagues really go the extra mile to ensure that you have a wonderful and healthy time in Nepal and that you have every opportunity to meet with a variety of local people and explore many cultures. Dave and I know Thulopatel School very well and thoroughly recommend getting to know Dan and his fellow villagers and maybe doing something to assist this amazing community to bring about a better future for their children.

Just got back from Nepal where I did a 17 day teahouse trek through Langtang, Gosainkund & Helambu organized by Dan Tamang. Our team consisted of Dan's brother, Bhim, who was our guide, Dan's son, Bemba who was our assistant guide, Dan's brother-in-law, Bir, who was the head porter, and Basunta, Dan's nephew (and Bhim's son) who was the second porter. They were all terrific but we were all very touched by the enthusiasm and sincerity displayed by Bhim and Bir. I can still recall recall them asking "How can I be of service to you?" It was such a relief to arrive at our daily destination, be welcomed by Bir and Basunta, and find our bags already in our rooms (and usually the best rooms, too!). The trek was a wonderful experience and Bhim was cheerful and upbeat even when the going was tough. He was completely organized, and had our welfare at heart at all times. I'd definitely recommend them to anybody planning a trek in Nepal. A favorite memory? Watching Bhim and Bir take over a private kitchen to prepare lunch in Sermathang. These guys rock! When I get better organized I will post a photo.

They were incredibly organized and had great suggestions and guidance while also tailoring the trip to our needs. It's been ten years but this was still one of the most amazing experiences of my life and Dan's experience and personality played an important role in that.

Dan was first recommended by friends in 2009 when he superbly organized a month long tea house/camping trek for us from Jiri to Namche and across Khumbu high passes. We returned with 2 friends this year for 17 days camping around Manaslu. Dan is highly professional at all levels of trek organization and totally committed to client care. His attention to detail and individual customer comfort extended to a heater in our dining tent, hot water bottles at altitude and hot water on demand. As a bonus Dan has a great personality, is consistently cheerful and upbeat and with his camping team ( many of whom are related) makes you feel part of an extended Nepalese family working happily together. We will definitely be walking with Dan again and unreservedly recommend him to anyone organizing their own trek in Nepal.

We trekked with Dan Tamang in July/August 2012. We got in touch with Dan through word of mouth from a good friend who also trekked with us. Our party consisted of 3: myself, my daughter and my friend Jane.Dan is an honourable man with a good deal of experience guiding treks in Nepal and Northern India. He met us at the airport and was available the whole time we were in Kathmandu to help us find decent deals and sightsee.Our 8 day tea house trek was a beautiful one to Annapurna Base Camp and back. We started from Kande, just beyond Pokhara, and finished at Nyapul (just up from Berithanti). Though off season and in the middle of the monsoon, we still managed lovely views of Fish Tail, Annapurna South and the rest of the range. His wide knowledge of nature and Himalayan geography and culture helped us enjoy the experience even more.Dan saw to all the transport and accommodation and brought with him porters from his family (Pemba, Bsanta and Sujaan) who were a delight and good company for my teenage daughter. Dan speaks good English and listens to your requirements diligently, offering his trusted advice.He has a very good sense of humour and is a pleasure to be around if you can stand the bad jokes!
Furthermore, through Jane's continuing friendship with Dan, we know that in employing Dan we are helping to support Dan's wider family and village community and not lining the pocket of a tour company. In fact, this is very ethical trekking and past customers have created a network of supporters for the Salle village school and the young Nepalese of the village.

Easter 2011 · Group
Alex and I joined the group doing the 9 day Annapurna TeaHouse Trek, at Easter 2011. It was one of the best things we have done. We spent the first couple of days in Kathmandu, where we acclimatised and did a lot of sightseeing. A culture shock but fantastic, never feeling threatened.
Then we flew down to Chitwan National Park for a few days, accompanied by Bhim, who was a great help. We had a good camaraderie with him. Did elephantback safari, dugout canoe down the river and a lovely nature walk where it was great to hear wild peacocks. Saw lots of wildlife, including rhino, crocodiles, varieties of deer. Bus ride then took us through some fabulous countryside to the start of the trek, where we met up with the rest of the group. Dan, Shyam, Bhim and the porters were always friendly, helpful and encouraging. We had great fun with them in the evenings too, sharing card games, with some fun cheating being done by a certain person who shall remain nameless, (yes you know who you are) - big grin, and some hilarious times with us walkers attempting to sing and dance.
The scenery on the trek was mindblowing, we had never encountered anything to compare with it before. The trek was definitely a challenge but we did it and wish to do it again. But don't think its a walk in the park, that it's definitely not. Lots of very steep up and down mountains. The toughest challenge was the early morning rise, to climb about 1500' I think to the top of a mountain in time to see sunrise on a 360 degree view of the mountains. We were greeted at the top with hot chocolate and a great sense of accomplishment and pride that we had done it. The last day and a half was spent dropping 2000' to finish with everyone having a swim in a mountain river fed pool.
We spent a couple more days in Kathmandu, where we went on a guided tour of the Old City, this is a must. And down to the river for a day spent looking around the most ancient of temples and watching the cremations, all carried out with dignity and love. Actually felt very at peace there.
We were sad to leave and have kept in touch with Dan. and his family.
We can't recommend the trip and the guides and porters highly enough. We will be back.
THANKS TO YOU ALL.

I would not hesitate in recommending Dan and his team for any sort of trek. I have recently come back(dec 07-jan 08) from my first trek with a group of friends to Everest base camp which was truly unforgettable experience. And Dan and his team contributed to this. Everything was organized brilliantly b Dan from the tea houses to internal transport and the well planned itinerary was flexible to account for any changes that needed to be made. We also had a lot of fun on the trek with Dan and his team and there was lovely friendly family atmosphere throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and Dan always has the best interests of the group in mind keeping a careful eye on the health of his clients which is essential when encountering such high altitudes . I’d happy to talk to anyone planning to trek with blue sky – alivasey@googlemail.com .yo.ll have a fabulous time.

Multiple trips · Adventure
I have travelled with Dan and blue sky tours in nepal on three separate occasions trekking in the annapurna region from jiri to everest and a desert expedition to the upper mustang rregion.I have experienced both tea house and camping treks .
All of my trips to Nepal with Dan have exceeded my expectations .Dan has looked after all the members of our various partied extremely well and all his staff including guides cooks and porters have ensered that all our needs were catered for.All staff members are very exprienced in the trekking business having completed many trips both for blue sky tours and for international travel agencies.Any prospective traveller has nothing to fear in booking with dan as his treks easily outstrip the offered by largter companies.The tour company has all the insurances and the staff have all relevant legal documentation and training qualifications.
Important dan is in an excellent position to organise trekking expeditions both before departure from the UK and kathmandu as well as during the holiday. clear itineries are always provided and dan takes full control of all the necessary arrangements including intenal travel transfers to and from the trekking regions, accommodation through out as well as liaison with staff and locals were necessary.
Even when difficult circumstances beyond the control of the tour leader and trekkers have occurred such as the non arrival of internal flights or illness dan has managed to ensure that the rek continues as destinations reached ( once with the aid of half a day in the trailer of tractor).
All food and accommodation provided on the trips has been excellent,I actually gained weight on my last camping trip because we ate so well.Dan has an excellent pool of terhouses and camping sites and always tries to ensure the highest quality where possible.
Dan also offers very competitive prices for the trips he organises. With nearly 700 trekking companies in kathmandu alone I am certain for the care and attention given to travellers with blue sky tours hsis prices would be hard to beat.
I would not hesitate to recommend blue sky tours for trekking expeditions and I am planning to return to Nepal in the near future to travel with Dan very soon. The only thing Dan cannot gurantee is the weather but weather is weather.
I would be happy to talk to anybody considering travelling with dan and can be contacted at doug.newlands@cfnw.org if prospective travellers have any questions.

I had the trip of a lifetime with VoluntEars and the team including Dan, Kaju, Lok and Prabin really looked after us. Nothing was too much and they were so knowledgeable about the culture of Nepal. They tried teaching us some of the Nepali language and we tried teaching them some sign language. Always looking out for us when we were trekking and making sure we were safe. I would totally recommend anybody wanting to do this trip. The scenery was out of this world and I shall never forget my experience. It will stay with me forever. Thank you for making me feel part of the family.

I thoroughly enjoyed trekking for three days in the Himalayas with the team made up of pemb, lochamb and others (sorry I've forgotten all the names!). They were all so lovely, funny and inspiring- they really looked after us making sure we kept hydrated the whole time. It was a challenging three day hike to the top of proton hill which I don't think I could've done without the support of the team- I highly recommend that you go with them for a once in a lifetime experience! ❤

Poon Hill Trek
I spent quite some time with Dan, Pemba and the rest of his team whilst on a group trip over in Nepal. They were brilliant from the start but during the poon Hill trek they really showed what they do best. Nothing was too hard for them, they were always there to help and had a smile to boost morale during difficult parts. We felt secure at all times and they made sure that accommodation was ready for us each stop. All the guys have amazing personalities and I even managed to start learning a little Nepalese whilst with them as we laughed and joked about many things. Can't wait to work with these guys again when I'm next in Nepal as I wouldn't want anyone else

Amazing and life changing experience
I was put in contact with Dan as I had a keen interest with Nepal and doing some volunteering. From the off, there was clear and friendly advice on what to do. I decided to spend a month there, with some time trekking and volunteering, exactly what I wanted. I was overwhelmed with how accommodating these guys were and their ability to fulfil my needs, they truly provided an amazing experience that I will never forget. I stayed a few nights in Kathmandu In a lovely hotel, then headed for a base camp trek, then to a rural village to undergo volunteering in a local school. Throughout the whole trip I was fully immersed in the Nepali culture and there was no hiccups, it was a truly wonderful experience that I will cherish forever. At all times I felt safe and my needs thoroughly met. I could not recommend this company anymore, Dan and his family are lovely, affectionate and compassionate. Thank you team trekking for real Nepal!

Deaf group trekking to Annapurna
I went along with a mixed hearing and deaf group on a 3 day trekking adventure. From start to finish Dan and his team were fantastic. Their friendliness, helpfulness, organisation and encouragement when times were tough was amazing. The Sherpas on the trekk were super helpful and simply lovely. The accommodation and food on the trekk was fabulous too. My daughter and some others have some disabilities so this was a challenging trekk to say the least. Arriving separately and being on my own in Kathmandu, and needing to get to join the group, they went out of their way to arrange to pick me up from The airport, took me to a hotel, arranged my coach to Pokhara, got me there ( on a moped which wasn’t too scary!) and even helped arranged my flight back from Pokhara to get me to katmandhu on time for my flight home as the coaches were striking! Pemba, Dans son, and all the team were simply amazing helping my daughter and the others complete this challenge. I can’t thank them enough and look forward to going to Everest with them some day soon. Highly recommended.

Amazing Annapurna Circuit trekking experience!
Dan and the trekking for real team have arranged everything from our arrival to departure to ensure we had a great time. From arrival, we had a comfortable private taxi pickup which took us to a nice, clean and comfortable hotel. If I return to Kathmandu, I would love to stay at the same hotel because it is so comfortable and ideally situated in the heart of Thamel. On the trek, Dan listened and advised us of the best option, route and time for our itinerary. Yes, unlike other guides, he will work with our itinerary, and advise us of the best option! You will not be rushed beyond your capabilities, but enjoy the trek at your own pace. What is most fulfilling about my trip was learning about the culture, nature and people. Dan was always eager to share and I believe learning it all have made my annapurna circuit trek so much more enjoyable. Imagine looking at the Himalayan landscape, beautiful yes, but there is so much stories of the people and culture nestled in between. All in all, the trekking for real team is highly recommended, not only for their experience and professionalism attitude, but also their funny and friendly character. The annapurna circuit was amazing, and trekking with Dan had made it an enriching experience, will definitely call Dan again when I'm back in Nepal.

Great Trekking Experience!
My friends and I went to Nepal 3 weeks ago to experience the Annapurna Circuit Trek via Upper Pisang, Ghyaru, Ngawal, Braga and Manang, and we had a wonderful time with our guide Mr Dan Tamang. I was a complete beginner and there were different levels of capabilities among us, but Mr Dan managed to handle the trip very smoothly, attending to everyone's needs accordingly. He was very patient, knowledgable and good with the trek and timing, all the while always encouraging me to go further. He made this complete amateur felt like a real trekker!

Wonderful trekking around Manaslu
We had a fantastic trekking around Mt. Manslu. Everyhting was very well organized by Dan, from the beginning to the end. Pemba and Kaji were great as guides and porters, always willing to lend a hand whenever needed. We passed through beautiful landscapes, from green forests at the start, along wild rivers,beautiful waterfalls, to the mountainous areas near the pass. It was also nice to see the different people and cultures in the villages we passed. We would certainly recommend Trekking for Real to other travellers. If we come back to Nepal, we know where to go to for the next trekking.

4th trekking with this company
The fact that this was the 4th time I went with Dan Tamang's company is the best proof that I am very satisfied about Trekking for Real. Reliable, cooperative, helpful and friendly. What more can I say? I did (solo) trekkings with one porter/guide, always very correct and at different places (Langtang, around Anapurna and 2x 3 pass trek in the Everest region. If you are going to do a trekking (alone or with a group), I can really recommand this company, small but reliable. Andre

Enjoyable trip in the Himalayas
Dan was an amazing guide and companion on our trip. He was well organized to make our trip run smoothly and made the trip fun - learning a few words in Nepali, learning about the different regions and culture. He is laid back and easy to be with. Highly highly recommend. Note that this trip was pre-2019, however there was no option to select another year. We went in May, which was a good time to go, weather wise.

Totally Amazing trip
Dan planned my whole trip for me. From the moment he collected me from the airport, he had thought of everything. I had the most amazing time and nothing was too much for him. I would DEFINITELY recommend him and his company. I had the most amazing time and it was all down to Dan and his wonderful staff. Thank you for a PERFECT trip.

Great trekking company!
I have used this company for many years, In the Khumbu, Langtang and Annapurna regions, and they have always provided an excellent level of service, with very friendly and knowledgeable staff who go out of the way to help. They can help with logistics in Kathmandu, as well as providing great support when trekking. Superb!
