        Népal discovery
        3 weeks of discovery organized by Hymalayan Holyland Treks and Expedition. They took care of everything on the best way, very gentle and available, taking great care of all the group. Bijay was our guide in Kathmandou area, Siba and Dourga were our guides for the 7 days of trek. All of them have been full of kindness. A really nice and great travel I will never forget it, thank you so much!

        Mera Peak 🏔️
        This was my 3rd trip to Nepal with Bijay, so you can say I’m a fan 😉 This was the most challenging one as we were going on expedition to Mera Peak summit (6476m). The first days in Kathmandu, Bijay made sure we had everything we needed to make our trek a success. He also took us on some sightseeing. The trek itself was also perfectly arranged so we only had to think about making it to the summit, putting one foot in front of the other and enjoying the magnificent views. The teahouses, the food, the guides and porter, the flight from and to Lukla, the material we needed,… it was all taken care of by Bijay. We all made it to the summit healthy and happy, and the whole experience was truly amazing, we enjoyed it to the fullest. Thank you Bijay and the whole team for making our dream of summiting Mera Peak a succes. I’m already dreaming about my next trip to Nepal, and no doubt it will be with Bijay again. Best guide you could wish for! 🙏 Ps. Make sure you also visit Mhendo cafe of Ajay, his brother, at Swoyambhu!

        Best trip ever
        I just did a two-day mountain guide trip in Nepal, and it was amazing! The trek through forests to stunning Himalayan views was incredible. Our guide was awesome, super knowledgeable and friendly. The mountain lodge stay was cozy with epic sunrise views. It was challenging but totally worth it. Highly recommend for a real Himalayan adventure!

        A flexible and a wel put together trip
        Through a recommendation we got to know our guide Bijay. During the preparations for our trip, he assisted us in an excellent manner. We were able to perfectly communicate what we wanted to do and see, and how we wanted to divide our month in Nepal. Bijay was able to create a beautiful and feasible plan from this, making additional suggestions if needed, and with some back-and-forth communication, we assembled the perfect month in Nepal with a lot of variety. Everything was arranged by Bijay, which ensured that we had minimal worries during our trip, as certain things are more difficult to organize in Nepal without a guide or someone who knows the country. For example, I still wouldn’t be able to navigate public transportation without the help of other Nepalese or a guide. Throughout the journey, we were able to make adjustments without any issues if we felt like changing things up a bit. Last-minute changes were no problem for Bijay and were arranged on the same day. He ensured that we could fully enjoy our month in Nepal and see as many things as possible. Having a guide in the cities is also definitely an added value, as it allows you to learn about the many stories and myths of the faith and recognize these stories in the images and paintings at the temples. If I ever come to Nepal again, I would undoubtedly arrange my trip with Bijay once more.

        NEPAL: an amazing variety of fun activities!
        Bijay is amazing! We contacted him with some rough ideas of where we would like to go to on our 1 month Nepal trip. Next, he worked his magic and proposed a full travel itinerary, consisting of cultural visits, a trekking, national parks... The itinerary was very flexible: both before and during the trip all changes we wanted to make to the travel plan could easily be incorporated. All our guides were amazing. I highly recommend taking guides with you as they give you so much insights in the Nepali culture and religions. Overall we had a great time in Nepal and felt very comfortable in the hands of Bijay. It is clear that he was really trying to let us get the most possible out of this trip. To give you a rough idea of our epic itinerary: visiting cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu, observing the life of monks in monasteries, rafting on the Trisuli river, trekking near the Annapurna range, adventurous activities (MTB, quad vehicle, paragliding) in Pokhara, spotting tigers in Bardia & rhinos in Chitwan, scenic mountain flight to the Everest region and experiencing religious festivals in Kathmandu.

        GREAT TEAM AND PROFESSIONAL GUIDING
        The trek I did was Annapurna sunrise trek with Himalayan Holyland Treks and Expeditions. They organized me this trek with gentle care and all the professional ways. We had a very good time with them and sharing their knowledge and experience of the treks was amazing and very helpful for us and everyone who like trekking. I would definitely recommend this team and Himalayan Holyland Treks and would like to do it next time as well.

        An excellent guide and a lovely trip I will always remember!
        We loved our visit to Nepal. We wanted to see the true Nepal. So we contacted Bijay and he proposed an excellent tour. He is an amazing guide, kind and funny. His knowledge is complete. We visited Nepal with family under the expert guidance of Bijay and his brother. We saw a lot: historical sites, visit to Chitwan national park, cultural, .... And we also did a trekking. You name it, he will do it. We loved it all. We learned a lot about life in Nepal and about the rebuilding after the massive earthquake. When I ever go back to Nepal, I will definitely book a trip with Bijay!
