Bravo Himayalan Recreation Team - Incredible journey with brilliant support throughout!

My friend and I have successfully completed the guided Everest Base Camp Trek with the help of Managing Director Bhishnu Thapa, of Himalayan Recreation Treks & Travel, in the second week of October 2024.

I can personally vouch for their thorough support throughout from the moment we started communications to clarify details of the tour to ensure we booked it with confidence to when we arrived and departed - they have an excellent and experienced network of guides, porters, links with tea houses and emergency support capabilities.

I felt totally looked after and cared for throughout. Their website is full of useful information in terms of kit and sets expectations for accommodation and sanitation levels. We were lucky to have access to indoor western style toilets at all tea houses albeit having to do a manual flush.

Our guide Buddha was on hand every step of the way pointing out where to step, keeping to safe paths, keeping Yaks and horses at a safe distance, carry water and other items, reaching into our rucksack on request for anything at anytime and most of all staying cheerful, patient and amicable all the time! He personally took food requests and served us at most Tea houses! Our porter Pembe did an excellent job of carrying our duffel bags and making sure they were on hand at every location. Incredible support was provided during flight delays due to non conducive weather by both Bharat and Buddha.

Absolutely loved the cultural night treat a day before our departure joined by Bhishnu and Gopal Thapa ! Bravo indeed Himalayan Recreation team - many thanks, keep it up and God bless!

I’ll be back!

Ticked off my bucket list, thanks to Rajan my guide cum porter. I was very well taken care of and didn’t have to worry about anything. Great experience! And of course, the climb was amazing. This still feels unreal. I’m so happy ♥️

An Experience for a Lifetime and That too with the Right Tour Operator!!

I am so glad I did my research before booking with the Himalayan Recreation Tour Operator. Though I had done my research, going through this trek was a lot harder, especially because I was short of breath throughout. Narayan was our guide, and he ensured that even as the slowest member of the team, I was never left behind. This showed that he was a very well-trained guide. Because of his expertise and his optimism, I can proudly say I got to the base camp.

The routes were breathtaking, and most often the pictures just did not do justice to what we witnessed. Narayan recognized all the mountains! It felt good to be in the company of someone who knew their route. I would recommend a Himalayan Recreation tour operator any day!

A family trip for a lifetime memory!

This was a trip of the lifetime! We lucked out in completing this Everest Base Camp (EBC) trip in the first week of June, 2023, usually when the monsoon breaks. Most of the days it was perfect hiking weather. Himalayan Recreation tailored this trip to suit the requirements of our family. We had some time constraints, therefore once after reaching the EBC, we took a helicopter ride down to Kathmandu from Gorekshep (~5200 meters) It was an adventure trip for our family of 4 and it was a private tour. I am very pleased with the service provided by Bishnu Thapa of the Himalyan Recreation and the guide, Raj who has over a decade of experience in Organizing such trips. Raj took good care of us by ensuring that we eat, sleep and keep up with the high altitude challenges. In addition, Raj kept us motivated to keep on going on this 7 days of 60-70 KM hiking trail.

Our family decided to go on this EBC hike in Dec 2022 and then we kept in touch with Bishnu Thapa who professionally guided us to prepare for this trip by sending his prompt replies and occasional video calls. The staff at the Himalyan Recreation, I found them extremely courteous. I was impressed by the fact that once we arrived in Kathmandu, they made us feel comfortable and I found them so very eager to make our trip a success. And we made it! As the altitude increased, thin air and steep hikes, sometimes landslides, bad weather for helicopter landing presented some excitements but I can assure that Himalyan Recreations team handled the situations very professionally to keep us safe.

I would highly recommend Himalyan Recreations for any of your bucket listed Himalyan (high altitude) Hikes in Nepal or other places. I wish Himalyan Recreations the best!

Best Everest Base Camp Experience with Himalayan Recreation!

Before explaining the journey to Mount Everest Base Camp, Firstly I respectfully give big thanks to the company Himalayan Recreation Treks, which has given me a memorable experience with lots of knowledge and respect.
We were so excited to see Mt. Everest with real experience of trekking. Me and my friend Rebecca, we were planning to go trekking at Everest Base Camp and our dream came true with the help of Himalayan Recreation Treks, Where we could find very fantastic and friendly team members to co-operate with us also they were very curious and sensitive to our needs within a whole journey period. Our Everest Base camp trek guide Suman was very friendly, supportive and informative. After being served by their services, we highly recommend their services to you all because they will provide you with a unique environment and try their best to make you feel better.
Talking about the journey to Mt Everest Base Camp (EBC) trekking, the way to our destination was steep and sloppy. We have had an amazing experience. Along with the fresh green scenery, the view of the mountains was also very beautiful as we have not visited any other places related to this type of trekking before but our guide gave lots of remedies and suggested each and every do's and don'ts so that we could be aware of exceptional cases. He was so familiar with us. The hotel where we dropped the whole night gave us another golden chance to observe The Sherpa's culture and their traditional dances along with their unique food items. We were very glad to have our guide Suman and this company because they cared so much to make our journey interesting.
Seeing the nature of Mt. Everest periphery we were feeling too fantastic and happy. There were some kinds of health problems along the way but our guide has fully helped and tried more for our easiness. Steeply land, huge stones and rocks, a fresh environment and clear water springs just attracted my heart. The cultural places like Gumbas, yak and sheep grazing were my center of attraction on the journey. My friend was also very happy to see all these activities and scenic beauty because I gave a surprise to her on the occasion of Friendship Day because she was my one and only special friend. The next day, by the side of our guide Suman gave another surprise to both of us by celebrating friendship day and organizing a small party by his side. This made us so proud to be with Himalayan Recreation which has given us that valuable memory for a lifetime. At that moment I just remembered the day when I texted them for the first time to meet my plan towards the Everest Base Camp. They are really helpful.
On the other hand, the down jackets and sleeping bag providing facility was the most helpful for us due to these our luggage was also not tightly packed but the problem of Toilet was badly faced with some kinds of difficulties. Basically, the head office located in Kathmandu has helped more by inquiring us with the help of emails and wants to thank the managing director. Thanks a lot, Bishnu, and team for your efforts.
On the way, we observed many other peaks also. The famous thing was yak milk's varieties and Sherpa culture. We experienced totally different society in Nepal with very friendly behavior provided by the local people of that area. They gave a big respect to us. We were feeling so bad at last when it was time to say goodbye to them. I would like to say more but I think it's already too long I proudly can claim that how much I explain is not enough anymore. I am fully satisfied with the level of service provided to us by the side of the company.I highly recommend it to you all because it has enough n too much experience about how to treat the visitors and trekkers during the journey time..besides, these facilities are outstanding n superb I can not explain in words..If we will get another chance to visit we will for sure remember the Himalayan Recreation and the best trekking guide👍👍

Everest Base Camp Trek Experience with HR!

I just returned from the trek to Everest Base Camp organized by Himalayan Recreation and I cannot express how thankful I am to my guide and the entire team of Himalayan Recreation for these wonderful two weeks. I had a time of my life and it was a trip I will reminisce about for a very long time. Since the very first day of landing in Kathmandu, I was taken care of and everything was well-prepared including the accommodations and trek-related stuff. After a day of sightseeing in Kathmandu, we left for the trek with a flight to Lukla. The entire trek was incredible. Words cannot define the sights we got to witness as we lucked out with perfect weather. Well, it was a tough hike at times, but thanks to my guide and our porters, I was able to pull through the long day hikes and make it to the base camp of Mount Everest. During the entire trek, he anticipated my every need and kept me entertained all along the way with great mountain stories, singing, and information about places. The trek was made even more special and memorable because of the warm hospitality of the local people there. Once again thanks to the entire team for this great trip.

Amazing trip -- highly recommend.

The trip was amazing, from beginning to end. They picked me up at the bus station and made sure I was comfortable during my stay at the Seven Star Hotel. My room was comfortable...with all the amenities, plus the food was delicious -- the manager Ramesh Prasai went above and beyond to make sure my stay was nothing short of perfect. Immediately after my arrival, I was greeted by my guide Arun -- he was very professional, friendly and accommodating. He is a Chitwan native and well-versed in the local flora & fauna. Arun took me sightseeing and took care of all the safari logistics. To sweeten up the deal, he also arranged a local cuisine dinner.
