Our EBC Short Trek with Himalayan Glacier was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the team provided exceptional, personalized assistance, ensuring every detail of our booking and preparation was seamless. They guided us with care and expertise, answering every question with patience and clarity. Our guide Pradip was wonderful—extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, and attentive to our needs. His warm personality, great sense of humor, and genuine enthusiasm for the journey made the trek even more enjoyable. He navigated every situation with professionalism and charm, making us feel safe and confident throughout. The trek itself was awe-inspiring, filled with breathtaking landscapes, rewarding challenges, and unforgettable moments of connection with local culture. This was not just a trek but a journey of discovery and resilience. Himalayan Glacier exceeded our expectations at every step. If you're considering the EBC Short Trek, look no further. Highly recommend this outstanding company for the experience of a lifetime!

Don’t even know where to begin…the Himalayan Glacier experience was AWESOMMME from my initial call to Rayuna in the Katmandu office. She made everything effortless - which is why I’ve travelled to Nepal with HG three times. This trip was, by far, the toughest and BEST of all. Babu was my Sherpa and Negis was my Porter. We had the “Dream Team” for sure. Babu took care of EVERYTHING, to include medical, educational, emotional, back pack toting, food, drink, cheerleader, and is especially concerned with safety. He left nothing to chance. A hot tea every morning was nice as well! Negis- very close to becoming a Sherpa/ Guide as well is knowledgeable, strong as an ox and nimble as a mountain goat! I couldn’t have asked for a better pair. They cheered me on every step - even though many steps were very short and slowI would never book another trip without Himalayan Glacier, Rayuna, Baby (he knows everyone by the way!) and Nevis. Not enough words for me to express my appreciation and gratitude.

Himalayan Glacier Adventure and Travel Company Everest Base Camp Trek, overnight - Nov 2024 When I decided to plan an adventure to trek to Everest Base Camp, I read reviews on a dozen trekking companies, and in conjunction to reviewing their trek packages and price options, I quickly narrowed my research down to 3 companies. I scheduled Zoom meetings with each of them to ask questions and “interview” them. The trekking adventure to Everest Base Camp is a commitment with a time and monetary investment and everyone needs to make sure to find a company that complements them and their goals. It is your adventure after all. Although all 3 companies were very qualified, Himalayan Glacier stood out allowing for more flexibility and customization to our schedule and wants for the trek. I selected Himalayan Glacier and have zero regrets. My buddy and I were anxious for our trip! From the very beginning, Reezu (Adventure Specialist Sales with Himalayan Glacier) was a fantastic communicator. She was always very responsive, detailed, and thorough in her emails, and was happy to respond no matter how many emails I sent with questions. Reezu made me feel to be an important client and she was invested to help made our trek as special as we wanted it to be. From the moment we stepped out from the Kathmandu Airport (KTM), our guide Subash was there to greet us and help us throughout our journey. Subash (14 years with Himalayan Glacier) taught us about the Nepal culture, local religion, monuments, traditions, and the landscape. During our daily treks, Subash was very patient with our needed breaks and us stopping to take a thousand pictures. (Note: in comparison, we overheard another guide with a different company tell their trekkers that when he said it was time to leave, it was time, no questions. As this was our journey, we greatly appreciated Subash’s patience, because having a strict schedule would not have been well received by us and would have negatively affected our experience. Thankfully, we didn’t have to worry about it!). We chatted throughout our trek, but Subash set aside dedicated time after every day’s trek (after dinner) to discuss the plan for the next day, always keeping us informed on expectations, terrain, difficulty, trek length, etc. As we progressed through our trek, Subash was accommodating to some schedule adjustments we wanted including changing 2 nights stay at EBC to 1 night and changing a short hike day and long hike day to be 2 medium hike days. The changes and flexibility were greatly appreciated. Suman was our porter, worked very hard (as did Subash), and had a smile on his face every single time we saw him. Subash and Suman had worked together numerous times in the past which was evident in the professional teamwork effort they put forth. They made our journey even better. All of our agreed contractual items for our trip/trek were maintained throughout our time in Nepal without issue and we appreciate the honesty and commitment from Himalayan Glacier. Not only would I recommend Himalayan Glacier as your trekking company, I would recommend Subash and Suman to be part of your team if you’re able to.

Had a really great time hiking. Our guide Deu was super patient and caring, always helped make sure we were okay. He always checked on our health and took time to explain the different parts of the mountains. Our porter sujan was super helpful too. He helped keep our spirits up and made sure we were always eating enough and properly rested for the hike. Without the two of them we wouldn’t have made it. The hike was fun but they made it better.

My wife and I recently finished the Annapurna, Manaslu, Tsum Valley, and Tilicho Lake treks all in one trip. It was nearly a month of trekking and it was fantastic. From the fast paced Kathmandu to the rural Tsum Valley, Himalayan Glacier had everything worked out to provide us a safe and enjoyable experience. During the trek we saw other groups and understood that the trekking team made up of the guide and porter made the difference. Our Guide, Babu, was always providing us with insight about what we were seeing, teaching us invaluable core Nepali words, and making sure we were safe and fueled for the upcoming days. Our Porter, Babin, was always helpful and cheerful. Together they made a professional team that were always there for us. I highly recommend Himalayan Glacier.

We recently trekked with Himalayan Glacier and went to Tsum Valley, Manaslu, Annapurna, and Telicho Lake. The booking experience was seamless and without confusion. Once in Nepal, we literally had the greatest guide (Babu) and porter (Babin) that Nepal has to offer! They were experienced, professional, kind, and patient. They took time to teach us Nepali culture and language. In addition, we clearly recognized the difference in how well we were treated vs other trekkers we observed along the way. With our guide, there was always a plan; we knew when we would be meeting for breakfast, what time we would be starting the trek each day, how long of a day to expect, etc. He always did his very best to book the best rooms for us which we very much appreciated. We would recommend Himalayan Glacier (especially Babu and Babin!) without hesitation to anyone looking to explore Nepal!

This was an incredible journey for me, I really don’t have words to explain how this experience was. Sagarbhai and his team was wonderful, always there for us, I would extremely recommend them. Thank you so much sagarbhai and team!!!🙏

I did the Everest Base Camp Trek from October 8 to October 15, 2024 with Overnight stay at the base camp and helicopter ride from Gorakshep to Lukla. Oooh, what an amazing experience it was from start to finish. Must tell you I am 71 years and did it solo. From start to finish, Himalayan Glacier was with me every step of the way. Starting from Reezu in reservations to the office manager with whom I had discussions both at the front and the back end, to my guide SHANKAR and the gentleman who hauled by luggage. I completed the trek without any issue and on time like any other person. This expedition was a dream for me and it unfolded just like that. Himalayan Expedition was the only one who offered me a stay at the base camp. Let me tell you, no body was left at the base camp after 4:30 PM and i was left with my thoughts and the unimaginable scenery around me. Well, of course Shankar was there with me along with our cook. Sunset was mesmerizing and what can I say about midnight. It was full moon and the surroundings along with Everest were light up like a Christmas tree. Only downside was that it was too col for me to stay outside for more than 5 minutes at a time around 1:00 AM. Folks, if you are contemplating the EBC trek, do not procrastinate. Go for your dreams like me. It was a memorable experience fo me and Himalayan Glacier was there with me. Cannot be more happy. Thank you, Shankar, Reezu and Rajendra.

From the time of booking (a yr out from the actual trip), communication began, with one person, who checked in every few months, answered all questions, and increased frequency of communication as our trip got closer. Our guide that would spend the entire trek with us met us at the airport as we arrived in KTM. On day 1 of the trip, we received a full tour of KTM, from a very knowledgeable guide. On day 2 of the trip is when our actual Himalayan adventure began. Our guide handled everything, was warm, friendly, personable, and knowledgeable, having spent 18 yrs in the trekking guide profession. As other tourists were left flailing at lodges or the Lukla airport, we were able to sidestep every hassle that typical tourists face, thanks to the expertise of our guide. He was careful to be mindful of our physical health, and recommended dietary and medicinal tips to improve our trip, and all of our rooms at each stop seemed to have the best (of what was available) amenities. The trip was a 21st bday gift for my son, and when our guide learned of this, he made sure to have the lodge we were staying at that evening prepare a birthday cake for my son, and sing "happy birthday". We ended out trip with a farewell dinner with Mr. Raj, the Operations Manager, where he asked us questions to see if there was anything that could have went better for us on our trip, to which we replied "nothing". Above and beyond customer service, from booking until departure from KTM. I recommend Himalayan Glacier without hesitation for anyone wanting to experience the trip of a lifetime.

I had a lovely experience with Himalayan Glacier team during my Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. I went alone from the US and joined a group of 50 other yatris who came from all over. The guides who accompanied us were very kind, knowledgeable and did the best they could with the facilities available. I’m especially grateful for Ashish and Baburam who took excellent care of me as I was a solo traveler. They made all of us feel at home and after the 14 day yatra I felt like we had made new lifelong friends whom I can rely on. I definitely want to do more treks with them in the future and highly recommend them!

Himalayan Glacier Adventure Company is a first class operation….highly recommend. Excellent service, guides and management all worked tirelessly to make my trip to Nepal exceptional. Any worries or concerns were always addressed immediately. I was supposed to be traveling with a friend but due to medical reasons I ended up coming solo. It was a little intimidating coming to a strange land by myself to do a big trek alone as an older single woman. In my younger years I had more confidence in my abilities. I was met at the airport by Babu who welcomed me with a big smile and he had a driver take me to my hotel because it was 1:30 in the morning. He was waiting for other guests but since it was so late, he sent me ahead so I could get settled. I very much appreciated that as I was very tired. Before leaving for Lukla to begin the trek, I was getting anxious. Babu came to my rescue and helped calm me down. He met me to take me to the airport and direct me to where I needed to catch a helicopter to get to Lukla. He was so kind, reassuring and kept in touch with me during my journey and trek to make sure I was ok. When I arrived in Lukla to start my trek, I was met by my guide, Subash and my porter, Suman. Both had big smiles and could not do enough for me during the trek. Subash was an outstanding guide. He always made sure I was comfortable, had what I needed and helped and encouraged me along the trek. He was smart, kind, thoughtful and always a gentleman. I admired Subash’s ability to step in and help another trekker who was feeling ill and was able to help him feel better. I always felt safe and knew he had my best interest in mind every single day. He would monitor my oxygen levels every night and make sure I ate even when I didn’t feel hungry. He always prepared me for the next day by reviewing the trail, terrain, weather, what to carry in my day pack and anything else I needed to know to be successful. Suman, my porter, had a fabulous smile and great attitude. He was always smiling and always ready to help. I was particularly impressed how he quickly came to my aid and helped me pack my bag when in a moments notice we needed to get to a helicopter to try to leave Lukla. He was such a kind gentle soul and worked so hard every day. The manager, Raj, was instrumental in helping me and 4 other trekkers get out of Lukla when the weather was so bad. I don’t know how he did it, but he got us out when SO many others got stranded there for days. Upon my return to Kathmandu, Raj also helped me with a last minute getaway to Chitwan National Park. The driver did not show up in the morning to pick me up for the airport so Raj got a taxi and personally took me to the airport AND he also accompanied me inside to make sure I wouldn’t miss my flight. He made me feel as though I was his only client yet I knew he was coordinating logistics for the many other client they had as well. Upon my return from Chitwan, my guide, Subash, was waiting for me. It is so wonderful when flying into a strange place with a bit of chaos that you recognize a friendly smiling face. He had to wait for some other people who had been stuck in Lukla that were coming in by helicopter so he sent me with a driver back to the hotel. I travel a lot and good customer service is important to me. This company did not disappoint. From the moment I landed in Nepal, to the moment I left, Himalayan Glacier Company took care of everything for me. They went over and above all of my expectations. If you decide to trek in Nepal, I highly recommend using Himalayan Glacier Adventure Company. Please know, you will be in the best hands possible if you request Subash as your guide. Any challenge that may arise, you can feel confident that he will have your back and you will always be safe, happy and healthy on the mountain.

I highly recommend an Everest Base Camp Trek with Himalayan Glacier! Himalayan Glacier makes it so easy to experience the stunning views, take in the culture and to enjoy being with friends both new and old.

Fantastic all around experience!!! The guides (Babu & Nikas) were extremely knowledgeable & helpful, the trip was well-planned and carried out, the views never got old and the food & tea were delicious!

Himalayan Glacier Trekking is a highly professional company that specializes in planning hiking trips through Nepal. I have had the privilege of hiking with them on two separate occasions. In 2022, I trekked to Annapurna Base Camp, and more recently, I completed the journey to Everest Base Camp. They offer a full-service experience, managing the logistics so you can focus on enjoying your trek without the stress of travel details. The team works seamlessly to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. My most recent trek to Everest Base Camp was a fantastic experience, and I was incredibly grateful for my guide, Kapil, and my porter, Dipan. The weather was perfect, and everything went according to plan until the last day. When it was time to depart from Lukla to return to Kathmandu, the weather shifted, grounding all flights and leaving us stranded, along with hundreds of other tired hikers. I was beyond impressed by how Kapil handled this challenging situation. He remained proactive and solution-oriented throughout, constantly searching for ways to overcome the obstacles we faced. Several other travelers even commented on his ability to navigate the situation and wished their guides had the same level of skill. While there are many excellent guides in the area, I felt incredibly fortunate to have one who not only cared deeply but also had the expertise to resolve issues in difficult circumstances beyond anyone’s control.

My guide Subash was outstanding. He helped me get the best photos and ensured I did all the right things to be successful in completing the trek. He also ensured I had the best rooms at the teahouses.
