It was my first Nepal trek, and Visit Himalaya Trek helped me out with everything. I had an amazing time. A 4-day trek in the Himalayas is both beautiful and challenging, but the Visit Himalaya Trek team was amazing. Himal was very responsive and made everything clear and easy. I had the pleasure of having Ishwar as my guide, and he was great. Both Ishwar and my porter took excellent care of me. I'm definitely coming back. Nepal is GREAT!

We completed the 10-day Langtang Valley Trek at the end of January / beginning of February, 2026, with Visit Himalaya Treks, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience.

This was my first time in Nepal, my first multi-day trek, and I’m a beginner, traveling together with my sister. From the very beginning, Himal (the owner) made us feel completely safe and well taken care of. His communication before the trip was outstanding: very fast responses, clear and honest answers, extremely patient, and incredibly flexible in adapting the trek to our wishes and fitness level. I had concerns about whether my fitness would be sufficient, and he reassured me from day one that the guide would always adapt the pace if needed.

Everything was clearly explained and transparently priced in advance. There were no hidden costs and no surpriseson the ground. We didn’t have sleeping bags or trekking poles, which were lent to us without any hassle (no extra costs), and we were even gifted a duffel bag for the trek. The organization on site was flawless: We had a detailed briefing in Kathmandu the day before departure, and a very professional and punctual start to the trek.

Our guide, Krishna, was exceptional. His English is very good, and his knowledge of culture, religion, nature, wildlife, and local life is truly impressive. He always provided context, encouraged questions, and always had an answer. Beyond that, his personality made a huge difference: calm, professional, respectful, and genuinely caring. His pace was perfectly adapted to us, breaks were always possible, and his calm presence gave us a constant feeling of safety and confidence – especially important for first-time trekkers.

In the evenings, we often sat together by the chimney, talking and reflecting on the day. Krishna took care of absolutely everything: communication with teahouse staff, organizing meals, checking in on how we felt, and explaining options whenever decisions had to be made. He always let us decide, while giving us the necessary information to make informed choices.

Our porter, Bola, was just as amazing. He carried both of our heavy duffel bags, was incredibly reliable, respectful, and always smiling – no matter how hard the trail or how cold the weather was. On steep sections toward the end, he gave me real support and confidence. The daily distances were realistic and well planned. We felt challenged, but never pushed beyond our limits. We had regular tea breaks, lunch stops, and additional pauses whenever needed.

The teahouses were lovely, especially considering it was winter. Yes, January is cold, but with a sleeping bag and blankets, it was manageable – and we knew what we signed up for by trekking in winter. The food was consistently excellent, freshly cooked by locals, with both traditional Nepali dishes and Western options like pasta or pizza. One moment I will never forget was reaching the peak at around 4,400 m, after starting the day in complete darkness, and watching the sunrise over the mountains. It was pure magic.

I would recommend Visit Himalaya Treks without hesitation to anyone looking for a highly flexible, professional, and caring team. Krishna and Bola exceeded all our expectations, and this trek will stay with me for the rest of my life.

My daughter and I completed the 20-day  Manaslu Circuit & Tsum Valley trek with Visit Himalaya Treks and simply had an amazing time from start to finish. Himal was really flexible and accommodated my requests to modify the route, and when my daughter's flight was delayed, it was no problem to move the start date by a day. From day 1, we felt truly supported and safe with our fabulous guide Ngima and porter Serku.

We don't think we could have been in better hands, meaning that we just enjoyed this stunning trek without a worry. Everything was well organised, and Ngima and Serku were such nice and knowledgeable company - we were hiking with friends and took home so many beautiful memories!

I highly recommend Visit Himalaya Treks and would be happy to book our next trek with them any time!

From our arrival to our goodbyes, our whole Nepal experience was amazing, with a highlight being our Mardi Himal trek out of Pokhara. Raj welcomed us at the airport with a flower garland and a friendly smile, which he never lost, and he patiently answered our many questions. Despite the drizzle, our guide Navin led us quietly through all the worthy spots of Kathmandu, and we were mesmerized by the Hindu temple where families burn their dead relatives on the riverbank. Luckily, there was a festival going on and huge marigold garlands were paraded around the temple grounds and hung along the bridges over the river. Later on, we experienced a Pooja from up close, which was very impressive with the temple in the background.

Joined by our two friends, we took off to Pokhara by plane, which really saves a lot of time vs going by bus. There, we had a very tasty lunch in the Moondance restaurant at the lake and met with our guides and porters. I cannot say enough about our main guide, Ishwar; his knowledge, his English skills, but mostly being such a kind and helpful man impressed the four of us immensely. The assistant guide, Pemba, was also amazing....the early days started with him bringing us coffee in bed. We brought our Italian percolator, which beats the available instant stuff, and I highly recommend it ;-)

My husband was the fastest climber of the four of us and likes to joke that Pemba was his private guide. Without exchanging many words, they climbed the mountain and became friends. The two sweet and amazingly strong porters, Gyan and Naresh, also did not speak a word of English but were very pleasant company. Together, the guys made sure we had everything we could possibly need. Every afternoon, the clouds and fog were coming in, and the air became cold and damp, so it was a little bit of a setback to learn that after Forest Camp, there would be no wood stove anymore in the teahouses. A recent rule apparently was to try to save the forest, but for us, it meant that we were not shedding that many layers, even while sitting inside.... A fire would definitely have made the whole experience more enjoyable.

The menu in all the teahouses is the same, but truth to be told, some cooks are better at the execution. Our favorite was High Camp, where porters and climbers alike shared the big room, and the lady who runs the place was super friendly and makes the best pan pizza!! We were generally pleasantly surprised that we could arrange hot water every day to have a "shower". It is funny how quickly you get used to everything, and we still miss sleeping in our cozy, warm sleeping bag. Going up to the viewpoint at 4 AM in the morning with the still full moon shining to our left and the sun rising to our right was an absolute high. After a hot ginger tea, we climbed a little further and warmed up in the sun, totally alone eye in eye with the whole mountain range....an unforgettable experience. Later on, we understood it was still possible to do the Mardi Himal trek without a guide, but we were totally happy to be in the good hands and enjoyable company of Ishwar, Pemba, and the porters.

We chose Mardi Himal this time around because it was a trek less traveled and lasted only 6 days, but personally, I was missing the local life and culture along this path, as I had encountered earlier in Bhutan. The trek was not very challenging, except for the climb to the viewpoint due to the altitude. Our next trek will definitely be Annapurna Circuit, and we are already looking forward to going with our new friends from Visit Himalaya Treks.....looking back with very fond memories!!

With friends Michele and Robert, in the first two weeks of November we did the Kanchejunga trekking, the weather was not favorable, snowfall and landslides forced us to revise the program. Splendid organization of Visit Himalaya Treks that, with the owner, Himal, has brilliantly managed the changes of program and allowed us to cover almost all the trek and always safely.

Special thanks to Ram, guide, and porters Dawa and Purna. Excellent management of transfers that were very complicated due to bad weather, but always perfectly organized, including a change of date internal transfer flight for early return of a day to KTM.

Thanks again, and goodbye to Himal of VHT, hoping to do more trekking soon with Visit Himalaya Treks.
