Client Reviews

My 4th trek with Visit Himalaya Treks, this time to Kachenjunga North and South base camps (circuit). The 26-day trip was extremely well organised and ran smoothly, despite the recent adverse weather conditions in the region and landslips necessitating route diversions. We did not manage to reach Oktang viewpoint or climb Drohmo Ri because of the heavy snowfall, but did overnight at Ramche and Pang Pema.

It was a tough but highly enjoyable trek; the best I have done to date in Nepal. Our guide and porters were excellent, and I can throughly recommend both this trek and Visit Himalaya Treks as a company. I also added a 2-night safari stay at Chitwan onto the end of the trip, which Himal arranged quickly and efficiently for me. 

This is our second time trekking with Visit Himalaya Treks. We did the Upper Mustang trek in 2019, and this time we did the Manaslu circuit. As always, the service has been top-notch since the very beginning. Himal answered our questions in a very timely manner and recommended less-traveled side trips to us. Himal always provides the best information about the area. He knows so much about the different trekking areas of Nepal, and their itineraries are the best.

We had Ramkaji as our trekking guide, and his cousin Dawa as our porter. The Manaslu circuit trek had long trekking days at the beginning, and Ramkaji was able to modify our itinerary to best fit our needs. Instead of doing the 2 days to Namrung and Lho, we did the same distance in 3 days to Garp, Sho, and Shyala.  We were able to acclimatize very well, and we did not encounter many other trekkers in those 3 days. Shyala is the most beautiful village and has the best views of Manaslu, Nadi Chuli, and Himal Chuli. Seeing those mountains light up during sunrise was one of the most unforgettable memories on this trek. Ramkaji is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and ensures our safety and comfort on the whole trek.

Our porter Dawa is positive, strong, and hard-working. On our day to the Larke Pass, it was cold and icy. Ramkaji and Dawa gave their microspikes to us for descent. We watched Dawa descending the icy trail with our heavy duffel bags. Words cannot express how grateful we were and how generous and caring the Nepali people are. We had an excellent time on the Manaslu Circuit, all thanks to Himal, Ramkaji, and Dawa’s support.

I highly recommend Visit Himalaya Treks to everyone. They are professional, flexible, and provide high-quality service. Whether you want to go to popular areas such as Everest or Annapurna, or restricted areas such as Upper Mustang or Manaslu, Visit Himalaya Treks is your go-to travel agency!

We had the chance to do business with Visit Himalaya Treks for our Manaslu hike, as well as organizing before and after in Kathmandu, and we loved our experience. Ngima has been a fantastic guide, attentive to our needs and anxious to stay away from tourist groups so that we can have a unique experience with the locals.

Thanks also to Shirkou, our porter, without whom we could not have lived this magnificent experience. Himal, the owner, is also a lovely person who takes care of all the details. We recommend that everyone do business with them. For our next visit, we will choose this company again without hesitation. Thank you again, we lived a dream trip!!
Namaste ☺️

My wife and I worked with Visit Himalaya Treks during our trip to Nepal. The owner, Himal, did a great job helping us plan our itinerary and get us coordinated for our trip, ensuring all of the pieces of the puzzle were in place and clearly communicated prior to us starting our trip.

After landing in Nepal, we spent a fun day touring Kathmandu during Kukur Tihar with our guide, Sujan. We visited the Community Dog Welfare Center to celebrate the (Kukur Tihar) Dog Festival, and then toured Bouddhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple to learn more about their history. Sujan was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was fun to spend time with. We would highly recommend Sujan if you’re interested in touring Kathmandu.

Our big adventure during the trip was the Manaslu Circuit trek. Our guide, Subba, and our porter, Gom, were the best! The service, support, and guidance that we were provided were exactly what we hoped for. Subba was very knowledgeable, personable, patient, funny, and supportive. He set a great pace, led us to quiet tea houses away from the large crowds, took us on cool side trips to Barpak/Laprak and Serang Gompa, and was very situationally aware of weather and trail conditions.

When we had to turn around due to very bad weather conditions, Subba safely guided us back and helped us replan our itinerary. Our porter, Gom, spoke some English and was also very helpful and fun to be with. We formed a great connection with these two, playing cards in the evening, sharing stories and jokes, and enjoying the trail together. While we weren’t able to complete the circuit, we had an incredible time with them and would highly recommend Visit Himalaya Treks and both Subba and Gom!

We just came back from a 16-day Upper Mustang Trek with Visit Himalaya Treks. This is my second time trekking with them, as the team ensured we had the most amazing experience. Himal and his team were super accommodating to all our requests. Our guide, Ishwar, was very patient and ensured our well-being throughout the trek.

Our porters, Sangye and Bala, were also very helpful. The choice of hotel they put us in was superb, especially the Lo Manthang Hotel in Thamel.

I am already looking forward to more treks with them in the future.
