How to Recover Deleted NEF Files?

I had a Nikon camera without which I had gone so long. Yesterday I had an impulse and took a lot of photos with it. Today, when I wanted to extract the photos I took before from its SD card, I accidentally deleted them all. Is there any workable way to recover deleted NEF files and get my memories back?
