          Take Your Time
          Season (the guide) was pretty cool. The porters were awesome! Definitely be selective about who you choose to do this hike with. The guide will tailor the hike to the quickest in the group. The mountains are beautiful and the tea houses were good. I only wish we had more time to ask questions, learn about the surrounding landscapes, and take in more of the scenery, otherwise I would book with this company again.

          Great company and best guide ever
          The end to end process was great and everything was planned really well by Himalayan Recreation. We couldn’t have had a better guide, Raj. We are in our 70s and Raj always believed in us and gave us confidence that getting to base camp was going to happen. He knew all the ins and outs of everything, he was kind, considerate, patient, helpful, informative and we were very lucky to have him as our guide. He’s a thoroughly decent guide. He turned our dream into reality. Ask for Raj as your guide when you book with Himalayan Recreation.

          Trek & Yoga combination for Mardi Himal.
          Fantastic trek. Great Yoga teachings. This company really gave an attention to every detail, need, and level to make this a great experience for me. Along the trek my guide was open to modifications to make me wake up in great places and have maximum energy for going to mardi Himal base camp…. Where we had a yoga session after sunrise and we were alone in this beautiful space. Everything was great and this organiser have experience. I will definitely book with them again. However I will be a little more demanding in what hotel to stay at in Pokhara, now that I have understood that if hotels don’t treat monthly against cockroaches, there will be a problem for that. That is the point that can be better. For the rest of… amazing attention, teachings, and trek ! And the food at the tea houses are fantastic and fresh. ! I will come back to discover more.

          ABC trek
          I had a great time with Himalayan Recreation Nepal. The prices were reasonable and the guide (Varat) and his team were helpful to support me to finish the ABC trek successfully. Afterward, the guide took me around Kathmandu, explaining Nepal's history and culture. I recommend this company for its good prices, friendly staff, and cultural insights.

          Amazing Khopra Danda trek
          We did the 9 day Khopra Danda trek with guide Narayan and Rajan and it was amazing! Very challenging but rewarding hike. We went in January which was the off season which meant that some parts of the trail were hard to find and a couple of the lunch spots were not open but this was not a big problem. Our guide Narayan and Rajan were incredible and supported us and made us feel safe throughout the trip. Would really recommend this trip for hikers looking for a quieter walk away from the busier tourist trips.

          Great experience if planned properly
          Great hike, but could be better. It was a 5 day hike so there was one day when I descended a huge distance on very steep stone steps. Very hard on the muscles. I would make it 6 days and descend an easier route. And then add on a trip to base camp - I just went to the viewing platform. Also, a lot of hiking was in the woods, which got a bit boring - I prefer the open.

          Amazing experience at EBC
          We participated in Everest Base Camp, one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives! It was an exhilarating and life-changing experience! We saw the most stunning views, surrounded by giant mountains. We have seen a reality of living that everyone should see once in their lives. This trip is a mix of sporting experience, authentic meeting with locals, surpassing oneself, connection with nature and wonder of the landscapes! Our guide was professional and friendly, and was very adaptive in adapting to our condition. We both had symptoms of altitude sickness, and we felt well supported and safe with our guide checking our oxygen levels to make the right decisions along the way. Our guide, Kancha, was one of the favorites of the adventure, he was so attentive and caring, always smiling, we consider him a true friend! We had a planned route, which was changed to accommodate the fact that we were tired! I would give 10/10 for the exemplary service provided to us by the agency, that also call us when we got sick to make sure everything was fine. The owner was very friendly and professional and we would wholeheartedly recommend this company and guide Kancha to anyone who wants to visit EBC. Destination MappeTrotteuse

        Despite it stating 8hrs, our “full-day” tour ended at 8:30 am. There was an unexpected 1500NRP per person fee to enter Bhaktapur, and when asked if we can skip the guide told us it would only eliminate 1 stop out of the itinerary and would shorten by 1 hour. We requested to replace it with a different temple which was kindly allowed. However, there must have been a misunderstanding because we were brought right back to the hotel after this.

        Lots to see but also a lot of downside. We called and were told that the pick up was 0530; however it was 0445. The guide’s English was poor and the tour was only slightly more than four hours long. No way there’s any breakfast. Even water was not offered. Tour ended at 0900. Not even close to the full day tour offered. If you are still considering this tour, consider the sunset tour instead. Also keep in mind they’ll be asking for $15 for the old city ticket, but paying in the local currency will save you about $2.

        My tour guide Rajah Dhakal was very informed and professional. He had a wealth of information, with the right mix of politics, history, current events and personal stories. The pace of the tour was just right. Along the way he would stop the driver so I could take photos.

        I booked the sunrise tour knowing the risk that the weather wouldn’t cooperate. And it didn’t. I didn’t get to see the sunrise, but Rajah made up for it with a memorable tour of Bhaktapur.

        I had the pleasure of taking a tour with Rajan today and I was thoroughly impressed. Rajan was incredibly knowledgeable about the places that we have visited and was able to answer all of my questions in a clear and concise way. He was also very engaging and made the tour fun and informative. I would highly recommend Rajan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide.

        Dipu was an excellent guide, willing to be flexible and adjust things on the fly. He was knowledgeable and kind. We loved Nagarkot, even though it was a little foggy. Views were amazing of all the terraced rice paddies and the Himalayan Range. Bhaktapur was chock full of amazing old temples. Breakfast was excellent, in a charming courtyard.

        Rajan Dhakal was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable and told us a great deal about the history of Nepal. We were lucky enough to see the sunrise and throughly enjoyed the trip. The breakfast was great and our guide was lovely.

        Rajan was very patient and let us stop along the tour several times to capture photos.

        I went on this trip with my mom and I. While it was a cloudy morning our tour guide, Krishna Acharya, made us have a really good time. He is very kind and knowledgeable. The drive is peaceful and so beautiful even if it’s a cloudy morning. The rainforests are lush and the Bhaktapur is a one of a kind experience. You can connect with culture and see the beauty that is Nepal.

        I did this tour in January and overall I enjoyed it quite a lot. The only downside for me were the roads but that's got to do with Nepal's infrastructure much rather than the quality of the company executing the tour or the equipment.

        Staff members were on time, informative and extremely helpful. The sights are amazing, but I'd keep in mind that there are usually quite a lot of people watching the sunrise from this spot so it's not as tranquil as I had envisioned.

        I highly recommend Zunu, my guide - she was amazing, very informative, easy going but nevertheless organized!
