Excellent Trekking company & Guide

I and my 3 friends were planning to go to Nepal for a short trek and I was confused about what to do because there are so many companies. I found this Himalayan Recreation Treks via my friend and she suggested I travel with them because of their best-ever service. After I started to inquire about Himalayan Recreation through their website and a tour manager from that company Mr. Bishnu Thapa responded to me within 15 minutes and suggested I for make my best trekking itinerary and I did as he said. He recommended we trek in Poon Hill for 6 days and told us this is one of best viewer trekking in Nepal I choose this plan for 6 days with them, They provide us very experienced guide Mr. Bharat who speaks really well English and is well known about that all place. Bharat Made even better our Nepal trip. We were really satisfied with this all our services and guides, So now I would like to recommend this company because of their highly professional team who can make your tour plan according to people's needs and desires. Next year I and my other 7 friends are coming to Everest Base camp and I have already spoken with Bishnu Thapa to arrange this trip and should give us the same Guide Mr. Bharat.
Again Thank you so much for your premium service.

Nature at its best

We had such a great time! The canoe ride and walking tour with the most knowledgeable guide were incredible! The hotel staff were most helpful and the tour operator went out of his way to accommodate our requests. I can highly recommend this trip

Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes

Our guide Varat was awesome,very knowledgeable and he looked after us extremely well. He has been a guide for about 6 years and his experience shows. He is very genuine and easy to get along with. We would recommend him to anyone who is doing this trek.
I had trouble with the altitude, he kept an eye on me and monitored my symptoms to make sure I was Ok.

The trek itself was beautiful and we had great weather, definitely worth it! We would love to come back and trek in this area again.

Himilayan Recreation is a great company to trek with. We wanted a degree of flexibility with our trek, to have the option to take longer or shorter if needed. Bishnu, the owner, was great to communicate with and was happy to help us to plan our own personal trek that suited us.

Thanks Varat for a great experience!

Annapurna Circuit Trek - Yes, hire a guide...

I had planned on doing the Annapurna Circuit solo when I first arrived to Kathmandu and refused to hire a sherpa to carry my backpack. After all I live in Golden, CO where the mountain are big, I’m quite active and used to high altitude. The hotel I stayed at in Kathmandu convinced me to hire a guide and I’m glad I did. Bishnu Thapa was a blessing. He knows the people and tea houses quite well and has such a charming and calming personality. Hiking in Nepal is quite different than Colorado. In Colorado we hike mountains on trails that gradually ascend the mountain which is far less work than in Nepal where the people hike straight up the mountain. We didn’t go very far the first day however the second day we climbed and climbed for if I remember correctly 6 or 7 hours to Poon Hill. There were moments when I wondered why in the world anybody would hike straight up the mountain and felt like turning back. Bishnu encouraged me to keep going and I’m glad I did. It was so beautiful He not only encouraged me to keep going he moved along at my pace. Once I got past the second day I wanted to go for longer periods of time each day than was in the original plan. Having a companion to hike with who is knowledgeable about the culture was a great decision. Thanks Bishnu! I was there in November 2013 and will return.

Trekking - Manaslu Circuit

I completed a 13 day trek on the Manaslu Circuit with 3 friends. Our guide Raju and porters Bhim & Ramsharan were heaven sent. This was my first trek and I was the slowest of the group. The guiding & porters team accommodated and cared for the 4 of us with great joy, wisdom, and compassion. My 3 friends were well versed in mountain trekking and were treated with great trust and freedom - they were accompanied by either one or both of our porters. As I needed more care, our guide, Raju walked with or near me the entire time. He also gave me a lot of space to navigate at my own pace. On the back end of the trek, Bhim, one of our porters, walked with Raju and I too. They were both consummately kind and helpful. Bhim never failed to gently remind me to go slowly, and that it was OK to go slowly, “Go slowly, Sonya, it’s OK. Napali walking very dangerous.” The trek was hard. We peaked at 5106 meters. This was an adventure of a lifetime. It was hard and I was successful. I’ve been bitten by the trekking bug and I absolutely love the Himalayas. Thank you Himalayan Recreation for making the trip safe, fun and memorable.

Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley Trek - 20 Days -Perfect Adventure Journey just does it with Himalayan Recreation!!

My 3 friends and I trekked with Himalayan Recreation in February of 2017. Manaslu trekking has long been a dream vacation of mine having seen friends pictures years ago of their trek to Manaslu and others beautiful parts of Nepal. After careful consideration and with MUCH help from Bishnu in the Kathmandu office, we settled on Manaslu. And my friends and I glad that we did. The scenery and people were amazing!!! What a phenomenal experience in all ways - the highlight of our recent Asia trip in my opinion. Love the Nepalese people - warm, caring and loving. And it all started with Bishnu in the head office. I probably sent him 150-200 emails in a preparation for this trip and he never failed to answer all my questions and calm any concerns I might have. He was amazing and invaluable! A fantastic guy who was not just concerned about our money but about our safety! A wonderful man who called the hotel that I and my friends were staying at to see how they made out as I ascended higher. From there we had the opportunity to meet our Guide and Porters. I cannot say enough good things about these men. Suman, our trekking guide is the type of guy you could trust with your life. He is very knowledgeable, caring (safety first) and fun loving. He was like a brother to me by trek's end. We had a hard time saying goodbye to him when we departed Nepal. Vim, one of our porters, was as strong as a tiger and as loving as a grandfather type. Both of these guys were my soul mates, attending to any needs I might have and providing advice and companionship along the way. I can't say enough good things about them. They really looked after my friends, especially when Simon got a Knee problem got down from Larky la Pass. They showed genuine concern for us really bonded with them both. They became like members of my family.

Poon Hill Trek

My first visit to Nepal was a life time experience. Bishnu Thapa from Himalayan Recreation was a reason why that experience was the best possible. He made sure our 4 day trek was all taken care and we did not have to worry about absolutely anything. Our guide for the trip Ashok was the best guide became part of the group within a day and treated us like life long friends rather than customers yet stayed professional at all times making sure we got everything we need. I will come back to Nepal some day and Himalayan Recreation will be company I will hire for next expedition.

Best memory in Nepal

Such as best memory I had at here with our team. Thanks for always supporting and good service. Stunning views and your kindness will be a part of Nepal picture in my heart. Give special thanks for Guide Santosh- who encouraged me on the trip and very funny guy.

Hope that I can come back here and meet you guys again.
