Heart Touching Hometown Experience
Well, this was already my 6th time trekking with Visit Himalaya Treks. And again, it was another amazing experience!! Great english speaking guide with whom I could discuss about many different things (religion, economy, tradition and culture in nepal and around the world, emotions and wishes and so on...). He was friendly, care taking and a good partner whilst hiking.
I was personally very touched about how this people make you feel as a part of their family. Because this time I had the chance to hike up a the hill "Pike Peak" and afterwards visit the hometown of the owner Himal Tamang from Visit Himalaya Treks and his brother (my guide) Ishwar Tamang. WOW, what a heart touching experience to be remote and local and far away from other tourists! Thank you so much! I can heartly recommend Visit Himalaya Treks for any of your trip in Nepal! You will be in great hands and experience an unforgettable trip! Manuela Muller from Switzerland. Jun 2023.

Pikey Peak trek
We have just returned from a 6 day trek from Jiri over Pikey Peak and down to Phaplu with Visit Himalaya Treks. During the planning for our first visit to Nepal as also first time trekking, Visit Himalaya Treks was recommended to us by family and they were great help with recommendations to suit our plans and organised everything to ensure that everything went smoothly. Our guides Krishna and Bikram were highly knowledgeable of the area and tracks. Their recommended routes and choice of tea houses allowed us to manage the increasing altitude and our levels of fitness. As we travelled through different areas Krishna kept us informed of the cultural aspects specific to that area, one of our goals in coming to Nepal. Bikram also helped with the cooking at some of the teahouses with a variety of choices and we are now familiar with local cuisine. Visit Himalaya Treks offers a very wide range of treks and activities and from our experience with this trek I would look no further. October - 2019.
We always try to be flexible to design the trip itinerary for our client’s needs. However, if you are not convinced as our suggested itinerary then off-course you are always welcome to customize or change the trip itinerary.
Holiday should never be about making it to the final point quickly. Along your trek, we can add days at your request with additional costs to cover guides, porters, accommodation, and food.

An average physical fitness should be maintained prior to booking a trek. Any sort of illness or recent medical problems should be mentioned while booking a trip. Most of our itineraries are prepared to give you maximum time to acclimatize and pace-setting on the treks would be done according to your convenience. If you are having regular medication then tell us before the trip started which would be better for us to give you the physical feedback.
Our main concern is your safety. We never compromised on your safety during the Trekking and all our guides are properly trained and well equipped to take care of our client's safety even in remote areas as well.
There would be always back support in case of an emergency situation like severe high-altitude sickness or accident (which is least expected), you will be sent to the nearest hospital, if possible, otherwise rescued by a helicopter and sent you to the hospital as soon as possible. Since you are entirely liable for all the expenses incurred for the use of such emergency services, please make sure that your travel insurance covers both- medical and emergency evacuation costs.
It is not a problem at all because in this trek we will supply most of the foods from nearest store and remaining foods we buy from Locals that mean most of the time we served vegetarian food as well and our camping cook and guide will take care as well.
We use standard quality of (Camping Gears) like Clients tents (3 men tents for couple and two men tent for single), dining tents, Shower Tent, Toilet Tent, staff tend thick mattress, etc. Also, we care for our staff and provide them with proper equipment for the camping trek. You will also be requested to have the proper gear for your personal use which will be suggested while confirming the trip.
While during the camping trek it is really difficult to find the place to charge gadget somehow we will manage to charge if we stay close by village otherwise we have to take the portable solar panel to carry with us and charge our gadgets.
Now a day’s most of the areas has been covered by cell phone network connection. However, in this trek, we always send satellite phones along with our guide so you can easily be in touch with your family.
This is a difficult thing to gauge. We have seen everything from USD 25 to USD 900 per person for guides and porters. Tipping is not required, but a small gesture of thanks to your guides and local porters. The level of the tip should reflect the level of satisfaction from and personal involvement with your guide. However, we recommend you to spend a minimum of 10% of your total trip cost for tipping the entire local staff.
