Client Reviews

Taking on the three-week Manaslu–Tsum Valley Circuit and 5100m Larke La pass in sub-zero midwinter with a 12-year-old boy seemed an ambitious undertaking, especially as a solo mum trekking for the first time in the Himalayas, joining my sister and her family. However, from beginning to end Himal and Visit Himalaya Treks were unfailingly conscientious, kind and supportive in their organisation of our trek. Our itinerary was planned in detail from arrival to departure, communication was prompt and thorough, and we were beautifully looked after by a group of very able, knowledgeable and always charming guides and porters. I cannot speak more highly of our guide, Ishwah, Sambhu (assistant guide and inspired cook) and the three ‘Herculean’ porters (Ramesh, Subash and Deepak). Ishwah’s English is excellent and we had a lot of fun with Sambhu swapping English and Nepali phrases.

Although trekking through a relatively remote part of Nepal with often-rustic trekking facilities in the middle of winter is not without its challenges, my son had the time of his life and I think the trip will represent a pivotal moment in his young life. Our visit to the Tsum Valley was a highlight of the trek, not only for the majestic mountain vistas opening up around every corner but for the magical glimpse of a fast-disappearing, very traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture. People were unfailingly warm and welcoming to us, on more than one occasion inviting us to share their hearth and eat a home-cooked meal.

As a somewhat anxious parent, safety was a major concern of mine, and I cannot fault Visit Himalaya with the care they took, particularly of the kids, to ensure we all got safely over the high-altitude pass and to the end of the trek. The company specialises in trekking to more remote areas and they combined careful planning with quick-thinking flexibility when their best-laid plans occasionally went awry due to the off-season timing of our trip. While not easy, I would recommend trekking Manaslu in winter as for much of the time we had the circuit almost to ourselves. We are already thinking about the next trip.
Thanks guys!  From Australia – Emily Coles.

Perfection. 100% recommend this local Nepali company

I would 100% recommend Visit Himalaya Treks to anyone wanting to organize a trek in Nepal. It’s a local Nepali trekking company with a very personal touch and they have brilliant local knowledge of the areas they work in.

We only had a short time in Pokhara so organised to do the Poon Hill trek through them (4days). They were incredibly quick to respond to all our enquiries and gave us lots of helpful advice when we were planning our trip. Himal in the head office was friendly and gave us lots of useful information about what we would need to bring and how to get around in Nepal.

Our mountain guide Tek and porter Locksumon were brilliant from day one. Tek was professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the Himalayas and Nepali culture. He puts a lot of thought into organising trips for clients and booked us into some of the best teahouses on the trek with some incredible views of the Annapurna region. He even organised for a special birthday surprise for us at Ghorepani. We have come away from our trip with a new friend and feel that anyone would be incredibly lucky to have him as their guide.

Thank you for everything, we are already excited for our next trip to Nepal and will definitely use Visit Himalaya Treks again!! April – 2019.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking

We just decided to go for trekking ( Poon Hill trekking) in Nepal 2 weeks before going there. So we didn’t really know much information, but Himal provided us details and choices, so that was very helpful. Thanks to Visit Himalayas treks, we enjoyed our first trek in Nepal. We did not need much preparation as they advised an easy but very nice trek for us. They took care of us from airport to mountains, and fine tuned the path as well to our capabilities. During our visit we have a very good guides. Thx to Balkumar and Ramesh 😀 they have us all the details and took care of us, so we felt safe and enjoyable. Even it was a quite short trip, but we have gotten best experiences and luck. I would not hesitate to ask them for services again next time. September -2018

Kathmandu & Pokhara 5 days

I was in kathmandu and wanted to see the himalayas and some 7000m snow covered tops. But I only had a short time and no equpment. So I asked some offices along the street but never felt real comitment or conviction untill I met Himal and his crew. Instantly i was given all options, suggestions and budget alternatives.I had booked a trip 15 min later.

Because they felt extremely qualified, experienced and helpfull. Maintained great comunication and help during all Times of the trip. He even lended me an overqualified guide (Isu) to do my average 4 days trip. Getting to know Isu and talking about expeditions, I was amazed at all the experience. I would recomend this them at and adventure in nepal. Wether it is small excursions or demanding expeditions.

They are your best option!
All equipment, quality, use and safety is taken into great account. The comunication and dedication is Super! I concidder them friends and I would absolutely visit for another trip to Nepal. April – 2018.

Dear Himal & Team, Thank you again so much for your professionalism in arranging the Poon Hill Trek from February 04 to 14 -2015 for us! Working with a company that promptly answers emails and questions means a lot to us and others I'm sure. Your guide Pasang and porter Bal were great and were a pleasure to have as company on our trek! We hope to retune some day to Nepal and will surely contact you when we do.
