Recently, we employed the services of Himalayan Treks and Expedition to guide us on a trekking tour to the Annapurna Base Camp. Their service could not have been better. They picked us up at the airport, took us to a nice and affordable hotel in Kathmandu and then escorted us to Pokhara where we started our trek. Our guide’s name is Tshering Sherpa. Our porters’ names is Lakpa and Purna. Everyone was fantastic. They were kind, patient and always helpful. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal to use them. We would definitely use them again if we’re fortunate enough to get back to Nepal on a trek.
In terms of the trek, everything went really well…..Mingma is an excellent guide, one of the best I have had on all of my trekking trips so we were very happy with everything and for that thank you. I will certainly recommend you to friends and will be back to Nepal again with your team in the next 1 years.
I would like to thank Himalayan Treks and Expedition for an excellent 2 week adventure in Nepal. From our pickup at the airport to departure we were looked after really well. Our guide Nimma and our porter Prem were courteous and kind all the way. The trip was a great mix of cultural tour (1 day), rafting (1 day) and trekking (10 day). I will always remember our rafting day … “please Sir, swim for pleasure !?” … and the generosity of Nimma, Prem, and Mingma. You probably cannot find a better value package for a Nepali adventure.
Thank you and all the team for our wonderful trip to Nepal and the Annapurna Panorama trek. It has been one of the most enjoyable and extraordinary trips I’ve ever experienced. From the moment we stepped out of the airport to the moment we left Nepal, Phurba was such a considerate guide and the organization was faultless. There was nothing for us to feel concerned about; we were just free to walk and open our eyes and our hearts to Nepal.
We wish Himalayan Treks and Expedition every success in the future.
I just want to say thanks to all the folks who made my trip one of the best I have ever had in my life.
I did the Everest Base Camp and climbed Island Peak with Himalayan Treks and Expedition and can only say they made the trip fantastic. I was met at the airport and all the details were taken care off.
The guides were great! and above all else they were safe.
Thanks to the folks at Himalayan Treks and Expedition!
Three passes and peaks trekking – 18 days” is fantastic trekking, unforgettable, thanks to the perfect organization of Himalayan Treks and Expedition. Our guide, Mingma Sherpa, was competent, kind, understanding. The idea of one trekker-one porter is fair and greatly appreciated. Our special thanks go to the managing director Mingma, who followed closely our trip from the beginning to the end. we look forward to go through the same company in future.
