Troubling but Unforgettably AMAZING trip (love the Tour Guide and local Porters)

At first, my journey faced hiccups as bad weather condition the flight couldn't take off, 3 days delays, we decided to switch plan to jeep off-road experience. Rainy, slippery, waterfall edges, landslides, all lead to the challenging but most excited journey. Believe me this lifetime adventure was awesome.

After all, the nature served us with the most breathtaking view of snowy mountain, vast valley and gorgeous landscape. Word couldn't be enough to express how much we appreciated the local guide (Raju Sim Khada) and porter team who did unconditionally assist our group throughout every steps.

This was the best trip ever to all of us. Highly recommend anyone to go and enjoy every breath with nature alongside.

Note: recommend to reserve tour directly with Himalayan Recreation to have the best services.

Amazing experience to ABC

Santosh and Rash are amazing tour guides, very supportive from day 1, always listen carefully to our requests and make sure to deliver the best solution and service to us. I appreciate their dedicated work and professional experience. Our porters are super lovely and kind as well, I love them all and every moment on the trek. After a week spent together we feel like family and friends now.

My recommendation for the company is that the tour could adjust the schedule a bit due to physical conditions of each group. For my team it would be better if it is 4 days up - 2 days down instead of what we did 3 days up - 3 days down. Going up is tougher so it would be easier for people to adjust to intensive climb, also it felt a bit rush on the 1st 3 days to keep up with the schedule (we trek 7-8 hours a day) and didn’t have much time to enjoy the tea houses and surrounding areas.

Also make sure to train yourself well before the trek in order to make it joyful and not suffer too much from muscle pain and other issues. Protect your knee caps and angles are the must-do. Since ABC is considered as not-too-hard trek without much altitude sickness but still it’s super physically demanding.

The trek to ABC is so beautiful with wonderful landscapes and mountain view. I definitely want to come back to do another trek around this area.

The best tour guide and porters to EBC

Our trip was supposed to go EBC and Gokyo Lake through Cho La Pass. Due to the bad weather for a few days, there were no flights to Lukla, we departed from Kathmandu by off-road car and then start to trek from Kharikhola to EBC. Our group faced many issues (rainy, snowy, cloudy, delayed flight). Luckily we have Raju - an excellent tour guide. He always thinks about the solution for many scenarios and gives us updated information every day. We feel safe when accompanying Raju and porters. We were very appreciative when Raju woke up early every morning to check the Mt. Everest view and then call us to see the view if not cloudy. For days to EBC we could not see Mt. Everest due to fog and cloudy. We were like brothers, and family, sang songs, danced together, enjoying so much fun. He also tells me many interesting things about Nepali life and culture. Good to know new friend Raju.

Highly recommend the Himalayan Recreation tour and the best Guider Raju Simkhada

Loved the Beautiful and Peaceful Nar Phu Valley Trek

We did the Nar Phu trek with Himalayan Recreation. The trek to Nar and Phu Valley is so beautiful. I loved the Phu village, the local people,their culture and the very old monasteries. We spent a night at Satek Gumba on the way to Nar. We had a such a great stay at the gompa with the monks. The kanga pass was a bit difficult but the views was amazing. We had very friendly guides and porters. Thank you Himalayan Recreation for this amazing experience.
We highly recommend Nar Phu Valley trek with Himalayan Recreation team.
Namaste.

Amazing experience

My first visit to Nepal but definitely not the last one! We stayed 4 days in Kathmandu, flew to Pokhara and then did the Poon Hill trek. They took care of our entire stay, from picking us up when we arrived, booking hotels and activities to dropping us off at the airport at the end, and we couldn't be happier. Everything was very well organized and our guide Ashok was phenomenal! We felt like he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. It was an amazing experience and I recommend Ashok to anyone who is considering any kind of trek in Nepal!

Mardi Himal Honeymoon

We don't have enough positive things to say about our honeymoon in Nepal with Himalayan Recreation. After our first contact, they arranged essentially everything for us, from our arrival in Kathmandu to our departure from this lovely country. We did the Mardi Himal trek with our fantastic guide Ashok and our porter Subash (who we found out 3 days in were brothers!).

Our experience was customized based on our timeline and fitness level (including 2 unplanned extra days), with Ashok's knowledge of the trails and valleys guiding the way. The food was shockingly delicious considering the rugged terrain, the beds comfortable, and the people universally accommodating and friendly.

For people like us who like a little solitude, this was the perfect trek. We had gorgeous weather for the first week of March, and most days went by with seeing just a few other people on the trail. The views were stunning, and we feel like we had most of them to ourselves.

Bishnu with the tour company also arranged paragliding in Pokhara, a one day Kathmandu cultural tour which was very informative, as well as a helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp which was possibly the highlight of the trip. We cannot recommend adding this to your trek if at all possible.

Overall, we feel like our booking with Himalayan Recreation allowed us to drink in more of Nepal in our 7 days there than we could have in a month of planning it on our own. We had positive experiences from start to finish, and cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're lucky enough to get Ashok as your guide, tell him hi for us.
