Tula Ram Ghale

Tula organized everything for my approach trek for climbing Larkya peak in the Manaslu region. I ended up trekking with him and his group of clients for part of the circuit and his level of professionalism is evident. Safety is a clear priority, as is the enjoyment of his clients. He does a great job of handling unforeseen challenges on the fly and he remains cheerful and helpful throughout. He makes a big effort to make a true connection with clients and I would say that his love of his work, trekking and meeting new people really shines through in the experience he provides. Thank you Tula for being my Larkya dream to life!

Tula guided us through the Manaslu circuit. He is a very organised guide who knows what he is doing and is in control of any situation. He has a lot of experience with guiding different people of different skill levels. He is also very fun to hang out with, has a lot of jokes, and shares a lot of insights about the mountains and Nepal. He is a great guide to be with in the mountains!

Tula is a great guide for the Manaslu circuit. He guided my partner and I this April 2025. He was very experienced and had a lot of close connections throughout the circuit that helped us get the best in terms of accommodations and transport. He’s very organized but adaptable. Speaks English quite well and is generally a nice friendly guy to talk to and be with throught the hike. His itinerary is also well thought out, and seems to be honed over his years of experience guiding people in Manaslu. Would definitely recommend.

Tula is a great guide and a super nice guy! He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the landscape and culture, and was great at organising and communicating plans with us. He really went above and beyond, even sorting out our ongoing travel for us. Can’t recommend him enough!

Before being a great guide Tula is an incredible human, understanding, listening to his customers. He knows the mountains very well. He is a very nice and funny person that I absolutely recommend

Tula is a very nice and kind person. He knows the mountains like his pocket and it made us to feel very secure. The trek was very well organised, every time we had a question he could respond to it with a lot of details. I definitely will recommend Tula as a guide!

Tula was our guide for the Manaslu Circuit Trek in March 2024. He was extremely knowledgeable and well-connected in Kathmandu and out in the mountains. We experienced extremely challenging conditions but Atula managed our expectations (and the illness and evacuation of one of our group) and timed our ascent just right, meaning we were able to complete the Larkha pass. I would highly recommend Tula and would trek with him again in Nepal!

I highly recommend Tula as a guide for any trekking adventure in Nepal! Our group completed the Annapurna Circuit, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had. Tula is incredibly knowledgeable about the region and provided clear guidance on what to expect and how to prepare, ensuring we were well-prepared. His excellent communication, organization of accommodations, and transportation made the journey stress-free and seamless, especially with our limited timeframe. He was incredibly fun to have around and provided many laughs, but also gave our group a lot of privacy to relax and enjoy the trip at our own pace. We ended our trip in Thamel and made sure to enjoy a few pints of Barahsinghe on tap (which by the way is excellent) at his local establishment. I would definitely plan to do another adventure with him!

Had a very tight 14 day travel itinerary to go to Nepal to do an 8 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek. We were very lucky to have selected Tula as our guide. He had prepared us well in advance of what we needed to bring. Upon arrival we had accommodation, set up for us, and from that point Tula took care of everything, transportation, food, and hotels till the end of our trip. Took all of the worries out of organizing in a developing country, that would have been a nightmare for us. Tula was awesome as well, adjusting our trip if we wanted to see more of a place. Definitely recommend spending two nights in Pokhara. I recommend Tula to anyone traveling to Nepal, he is a great and genuine person who will make sure you get the most out of your once in a life time experience.

Tula led me on the Annapurna Base Camp trek - I highly recommend him for any trek you're thinking of doing in Nepal. He will prepare you well and can tailor your route to whatever you want it to be like given the amount of time you have, fitness level, what you want to see, etc. Tula met me in Kathmandu the night before and helped me rent/buy equipment/gear/clothing that I was lacking. He took care of literally everything, from getting bus tickets to Pokhara, ordering meals at the tea houses in the mountains, booking hotels in Pokhara before and after the trek, etc. He has also stayed in contact with me throughout the rest of my stay in Nepal, checking if I need help planning anything or making itinerary recommendations. By the way he speaks excellent English. He is an awesome guy and just super fun to hang out and grab a beer with (ask him about his cafe in Thamel!). I 100% plan to trek with him again. Tula was introduced to me by my friend who came to Nepal a few years ago, so rest assured that he comes highly highly reviewed/recommended.

We did an almost 2-week trek with Tula on the Manaslu Circuit in March/April of 2024. Tula first met us at our hotel in Kathmadu to do a gear check, and then took us into Thamel to get a few last minute items. The next day, he picked us in a private jeep he had organized. Over the next 2 weeks, he and our porter, Tara, led us along on our journey, even taking us to some villages off the main trail. Tula is incredibly knowledgeable about the mountains, the locals, the terrain, and how to be safe. He is definitely someone you would want leading -- especially in the snowy, dark, early morning hours of the day of the pass! He also always booked solid tea-houses, and was there to help with any questions regarding our accommodations or food. We often then played Dhumbal (a Nepalese card game) together after we ate. One point to note, though, is that he is somewhat of a fast hiker, and at times we wished he would go a bit slower, even after communicating that with him. But overall, the trip was amazing. We both have fantastic memories of Nepal and the mountains, and we're already looking forward to being back there at some point in our lives!

I recently completed an incredible 8-day trek through the Annapurna Circuit, guided by Tula, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. Tula is an exceptional guide, with deep knowledge of the land and its people, which made our experience a perfect 10/10. He effortlessly answered all our questions about Nepal’s culture, history, and geography, enriching our journey. We shared countless laughs along the way, and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Tula is a great guide. Very flexible and great organisation especially with us wanting to leave the very next day after we met. With his happy way and his knowledge in the mountains he made the trek a very unique and amazing experience. Even fresh landslides were no problem to cross and I felt safe all the way through the trek. Can only recommend!

Tula guided us through the Manaslu trek and then helped us map out our Annapurna route as well. Tula was a great guide for us and made everything very simple, helping to show us how to go off on our own. He is a very kind man and I highly recommend joining up with him. Thank you Tula!

I went trekking to Mardi Himal guided by Tula and everything was fantastic! Tula is a really good guide, who knows very well the land, but also its foods and people. I felt safe during the whole journey and had very authentic experiences. But we also spoke a lot about life, basic Buddhism knowledge, Nepal and more..! He is a very good and sensitive person, always ready with a joke which creates a nice atmosphere! Thanks Tula for the unforgettable time! 100% recommended

The trekking to poon Hill Ghorepani has been fantastic. Even though It was raining I could enjoy the trekking and my guide Tula has been really friendly and helpful all through the time. We left together by bus from Katmandu to Pokhara and we spent a night in Pokhara and then we set off to trekking. I would really recommended this guide and enjoy the wonderful landscape!

Tula Is such a good guy and perfect guide. Trekking with him has been wonderful: he knows the mountains and guided us through the monsoon pitfalls always knowing best path, understanding the wheather and the soil: we have always felt safe! He knows perfectly how to move and where to stay in all villagees we passed by. And, maybe most important: he is easygoing, sincere and intelligent, you can speak and laugh with him for hours! SUPPER RECOMMENDED

Tula was our guide when we trekked the Manaslu circuit in March 2024. He met us in Kathmandu and looked after our group with care and attention throughout the trek. He was extremely knowledgable about the local area and made us feel welcome in his country. When I became ill with altitude sickness he remained with me until medical help arrived. I would definitely recommend Tula if you are considering a Himalayan trek.

I will strongly recommend Tula. He took us on a fun and exciting 10 day hike on the Manaslu circuit. He knew everyone on the route, booked the best tea houses for lunch and accommodation. Tula and his Glacier Safari team are great fun to be with. You will be lucky to have him as your guide.

He is an amazing, and fun guide. I did with him zhe Mardi Himal High Base Camp hike. Knowing most of the routes, and mountains around. He is patient, and flexible, meanwhile helping you if you need. I suggest you to pick him.

I had an incredibly positive experience with our guide in the Himalayas around Mount Manaslu. His deep knowledge of the region, engaging stories about the local culture, and unwavering commitment to our safety made the trek unforgettable. The guide's helpfulness, positive attitude, and attention to detail, from accommodations to meals, added to the overall exceptional experience. I highly recommend his services for a truly memorable mountain adventure. Thank you Tula, greatings from Poland Karol

I chose Tula as a guide for the Anbapurna Circuit, also because of the positive reviews from his customers. I was completely satisfied and will definitely choose Tula again on my next tour. As a guide, he is careful, trustworthy and responds flexibly to the needs of his customers. He has excellent connections and can react quickly if necessary. In addition to his extremely professional manner, his personal qualities should be highlighted. Open-minded, always ready for a laugh and a good feel for his customers' culture.

My girlfriend Elena and I recently embarked on a life-changing journey to the Everest Base Camp in October 2023, and the experience surpassed all our expectations, thanks to the exceptional guidance of Tula. From the moment we met Tula, his warm personality and genuine passion for the Himalayas became evident. His expertise as our guide made every step of the trek both enjoyable and insightful. Tula's knowledge of the region, its history, and the local culture added a rich layer to our adventure. The quality of food and accommodation throughout the trek was outstanding. Tula ensured that we were well-nourished with delicious meals that exceeded typical trekking expectations. The lodgings were comfortable and provided a welcome respite after each day's journey, making the overall experience even more memorable. Tula's spirituality added a unique dimension to our trek. His reverence for the mountains and the environment was not only evident in his words but also reflected in his actions. This spiritual connection enhanced the entire journey, making it a profound and meaningful experience. We also appreciated the support of our porter, whose dedication ensured that our belongings were safely transported, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes. The teamwork between Tula and the porter contributed significantly to the overall success of our trek. Our Everest Base Camp trek with Tula was not just a hike; it was a transformative adventure that deepened our appreciation for the Himalayas. His guidance was instrumental in turning this expedition into a cherished memory. We are now eager to plan more Himalayan hikes with Tula, confident that he will continue to provide exceptional experiences. In conclusion, if you're seeking an unforgettable adventure in the Himalayas, Tula is the guide to choose. His expertise, warm personality, and spiritual connection with the mountains create a journey that goes beyond the ordinary. Looking forward to our next Himalayan adventure with Tula!

thanks a lot to our guide Tula, for a wonderful adventure, everything was at an excellent level! food, atmosphere, sedition around, sincerity, professionalism! I hope we will meet again in the Himalayan mountains, my best recommendations

I recommend Tula as a guide. In November 2023, with our 6-person group, he completed the Manaslu Circuit enriched with Manaslu Base Camp, Tibetan Border and Pungyen Gumpa. Everything took place in accordance with previous arrangements, both in terms of the planned route and financial settlements. He is not the type of guide who follows you step by step and talks non-stop, but when asked, he provides comprehensive information - we liked it very much. It is also important that Tula comes from the Manaslu region and we had the distinct impression that he knows every second local we pass - this can be very useful in case of any problems. Finally, on his own initiative, he shared with us information about the Annapurna Circuit, which we were going to alone. Tula was definitely a good choice.

Tula is an absolute legend and choosing him as our guide for the Manaslu region really made the trip! As a guide, Tula was extremely knowledgeable about everything - from the names of all the mountains we passed to the customs of local villages to the best teahouses to stay in. He made our lives very easy while we were there, sorting out all of the trek logistics (permits, buses etc). He was also really good at choosing an itinerary with us to ensure the group did not suffer from altitude-related issues. Not only was he a great guide but he's a very kind and funny guy, and has become a great friend. We were laughing our way up the mountain and had lots of fun! Can't recommend Tula enough, and we'll definitely be going with him when we return to Nepal.

Tula is an incredible guide who is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and also likes to have a laugh. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Myself and two friends enjoyed his company whilst on the Manaslu circuit; Tula knew all the local cultures and wildlife, whilst also always choosing the best routes and teahouses. Incredible experience all-around.

I regret that I didn't meet Tula at the beginning of my trip to Nepal, I only could meet him by end of it. He is so knowledgeable, he knows each and everything about his culture & history, I learned a lot about Nepal from him .. more than what I learned during my whole trip, he was also so opened to know about my culture. He is also funny, you won't feel bored with him He is easy going & very open minded, feel free to discuss anything with him. If you wanna have a remarkable trip, you should chooes him really, I strongly recommend him. Finally.. he is friendly it's great that we became friends. Wish to see you soon bro.

Rarely is it possible to meet someone who has a smile as big as Tula's and wants to spend time with you in such a unique way. The treks we did together are absolutely special moments that will stay in my heart for a long time. I regret that we only had the opportunity to spend two weeks on the routes, I sincerely hope to return to Nepal again to spend more time with you, dai!

In addition to being an absolutely exceptional guide, Tula is also a remarkable and uncommon person. He has a warm, positive approach to life, is smiling and talkative, and every conversation with him is an interesting exchange of ideas. He is well acquainted with the trekking routes he takes tourists on, he adapts to their pace and takes care of the safety of those he travels with. I can wholeheartedly recommend him not only as a guide, but also as a brother from another mother, which he can undoubtedly become after a few days of trekking together!

I highly recommend Tula as a guide. We did the Annapurna Circuit with him. He arranged the whole trip for us. Everything went really smoothly without any problems and although we had to come back due to bad weather, he managed to improvise and find us accommodation and jeeps without problems. Tula is very easy going, friendly, with the good mood all the time. His English is also very good and he is very knowledgeable about the Nepali culture. He was taking care of us very well, always checking if we have everything we needed or wanted. What was really nice that although he was our guide he also treated friends who joined us the same way. I will definitely go with him again if I happen to come back trekking in Nepal.

I would highly recommend trekking in Nepal with Tula as a guide! We hiked the Manaslu circuit and had such a good time. Tula's English is amazing and he knew the answers to all my questions about Nepali culture and nature. We had super interesting deep conversations, but also easygoing laughs. He adapted the trekking plan according to weather conditions and it was clear that he took our safety very seriously. Sometimes it can be quite intense to spend so many days with someone you dont know, but with Tula this was not an issue at all, I really liked having him around. Thanks for everything Tula!!

Tula guided us on the Annapurna Circuit in October 2022. He picked us up in KTM, organized all the accommodations on the circuit and planned a beautiful route for us. Although we had to turn around due to bad weather we had a great time with a lot of laughs and interesting conversations. Tula has a lot of knowledge about the Nepal mountains it’s history, Nepals history and culture. Before we flew back home he also gave us a tour in KTM. We will definitely go with Tula again if we come back to Nepal.

A great guide and a very nice person! Always taking care about others and tell amazing story’s about trekking

I spent this year beginning of winter season with Tula on a Manaslu - Tsum Valley trek. Having only 11 days for this, Tula thoroughly checked my abilities upfront to judge whether we could manage this fast trekking. I appreciated this since it shows me his professionalism. Not only this, Tula is also very conscious about expectations of trekkers as well of the local people. He puts a lot of personal effort in contributing to enhance education in the mountain region of Manaslu where he is originating from. Tula is a very experienced and also knowledgeable and fun guide. I had a lot of great conversation with him on the trek. In the end, he adapted the trekking plan very well to weather conditions and terrain. I always felt very safe. And finally, he is a ver honest, humble man. I would give him a 12 out of 10 points.

Had a great experience with Tula guiding me in the Manaslu region in 2020. First we went to his parental house. I was offered to borrow army shoes of his brothers (size 43), since mine were ruened in the bus ride towards the starting village of trek. So I was very thankful for being able to borrow a pair! . Unfortunately they were just half a size too small. Had to do as much as I could on my sneakers and therefore we had to go back after hiking in higher altitudes. I couldn't get to Larkya La on sneakers. Unfortunate but very true. Tula and me helped out some farmers on the way back. Had a great experience on the trek anyway! This region was very quit and absolutely beautiful from what I have seen. Tula knew his way around in this region and is a reliable guide and friend!! -Don't preserve trekking shoes in closet for more than a year (!) and expect nothing to happen to the materials.-

I met Tula who took me for a mountain bike adventure in the hills surrounding Kathmandu. He picked a great route, took me for some amazing food and was great fun as a guide, and a very strong cyclist! I would highly recommend anyone to pick him to adventure with!

It is not easy to finde someone, who is trustworthy, reliable and in time when you are in nepal. But this man for sure has it all and more. I was very happy and lucky to have some off beaten tracks shown by him. We also visited his village and he looked after constantly. Thanks for making me feel save and showing me so many wonderful things..

I went on a trek with my dad to Annapurna Base Camp with Tula in 2018. The trip was great from start to finish. Tula was a laugh a minute and we had a great time chatting along the journey. He knows a lot about the mountains and the local culture and always managed to get our accomodation booked despite some other guides having issues. If i make it back to Nepal in the future I'll definitely be going with Tula again and would recommend anyone else to do the same, you won't regret it!

Tula is a great person and very good guide. Have hudge knowledges about environnement, mountains and cultures. Very patient person, he help me in many situations. To my experience with Tula is person who you can trust. Thank you again to make my trip great in Nepal. See you soon brother.

Tula is a great person to track with and is very polite, knows a lot about the mountains, Nepal and will always go that extra mile for you. Tula will help you from start till end during your track and will always take your ability and wants into account. We have learned a lot from Tula not only about tracking but also in a personal way. Will definitely recommend Tula's services. I know he is also a fanatic MTBiker and knows a lot of people in and around the mountains!

I am so happy we chose for Tula to be our guide during the Annapurna circuit. If you think about hiring him I would go for it! You will not regret it. He is very helpful and friendly, knows all the best routes and on top he is also such a nice guy. Thank you again Tula, for guiding us :)!

What can I say about this man!! He is the friendliest and most knowledgeable guide I have ever had the privilege of knowing, I met him doing a mountain bike trip around the Annapurna circuit and it was the best time I have ever had in the 3 visits I have made to the Himalaya, there was nothing that was to much of a problem and every day was met with a smile an exciting adventure. We met as strangers but I left making a great friend..

In one word: Legend. Whether he takes you to the highest mountains of the world or on a motorbike trip around Kathmandu hills, Tula will surely create a trip that's exciting and tailored to your desires. Very knowledgeable about his country and an excellent trek guide that I am proud to call my friend

I got to know Tula on the first day I was in Nepal! I met him at the restaurant he helps out at and we connected very quickly! He’s a very polite and kind person! He then invited me to join him to visit and celebrate festivals in his home village! We trekked part of the way back! He is a very skilled trekking guide and I recommend him to anyone looking for a safe and fun travel! He will also likely become a great friend!

I got to know Tula via a friend who recommended him to me. We had a lot of personal contact before I arrived in KTM for the AC trek. It was my first time in Nepal and the experience was great especially with Tula as my personal guide. Tula is very friendly, communicative and knowledgeable. His service goes beyond being a guide since he also helped to find the right gear, took care of transport and is just very good company to be with in the mountains. I definitely recommend Tula as a guide and will definitely make use of his services again when I will revisit Nepal (hopefully very soon!)

Tula was a great guide! He was very informative and had a wealth of knowledge about the mountains. I loved the Annapurna Circuit trek I did with him.

Tula was a great guide! My husband and I did Annapurna Circuit for 9 days and felt like we had a great experience. We had never hiked in altitude this high and Tula made us feel very comfortable. Thank you Tula!
