- 250ChrisS00Nepal and Bhutan on the flyI dropped into Kathmandu on September 7, 2023 with an idea and no plan. I hooked up with Milan at Himalayan Spirit my first day in Kat. Toured the city the next day . Visited Pokhara after that and on the spur of the moment decided to spend a couple of days in Bhutan. Milan hustled to get everything arranged and everything came off without a glitch. All the guides who took care of me were amazing: Dipu in Kathmandu and environs, Nabin in Pokhara and Dorji and Titi (sp) in Bhutan. Thank you all again for making my trip so memorable. I will definitely contact again when I return to Nepal.
- P4686QMalbertb00Poon Hill Trekking with MachindraHi! We just finished a trek to Poon Hill with our guide Machindra. It was a unique experience that I recommend to everyone. We have enjoyed unforgettable views and walks. The service has been 10/10, our guide Machindra has provided us with a lot of information and has always been very attentive. We will recommend this service.
- ana maria m00flawless experienceI bought a 3-day package with this agency . On the first day we went rafting, and later two days in the national park. Everything was flawless. Milan was on the phone with us every morning, the organization was exceptional, we were treated very well. At each hotel chosen by the agency, it was taken into account that we are vegetarians and the food we requested was made available to us. A unique experience. Thank you for everything.
- vincentnoahv00Annapurna Basecamp TrekOn the first morning we took the bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara, which took us about 10 hours. We stayed in Hotel Yeti in Street 13. The next day we took the Public Bus to Ulleri from where we started walking to ABC (Annapurna Basecamp) the next morning. We walked 5 days to ABC and 2 to get down to Landruk from where we took the Jeep back to Pokhara. We stayed in Ulleri - Ghorepani, from where we did the morning hike to Poon Hill, Tadapani - lower Sinuwa - Deurali - Annapurna Basecamp - Chhomrong - Landruk. All stays were in Hotels, which can be imagined as a simple room usually with 2 beds and sometimes own bathroom. Usually started walking in the morning around 7 am and reached our next stay around 1 pm. My guide Madhu led the way sovereign and supported me with 33 years of experience in guiding travelers through the Himalayan region. After the first day of trekking we shared our experience and how we imagine our daily treks and he took care to respect and fulfill my expectations. Over a few cups of Raikshi we got to know each other better evening by evening. I enjoyed his company so much that we ended up doing the Langtang-Valley Trek together as well. The tour included my guides wage, accommodation and 3 meals/day as well as transfer to and from the nationalpark area. I was not disappointed by the experience but I paid for 10 days trek but we only went for 10 days. Here on the Website I see its supposed to be 12-14 days actually for 900€. If you want to have everything sorted out for you without worrying about anything yourself I can recommend to book this tour over an agency. Otherwise if you want to save some money, find a guide without agency and pay everything else yourself on the trek! Overall the Trek was a great experience, the Annapurna Region is beautiful with lush, stunning nature around wherever you look. The treks were hard at times, especially the stairs in between Ghorepani and Sinuwa, which seemed to never end, were challenging. Overcoming body with mind is a great experience though and the mountains give space to reflect the experienced after the trek. Time: 8. - 17. June 2023 10 days The weather was clear in the mornings so that the mountain peaks were visible and it was possible to enjoy the views. Around midday the clouds came in and wonderful plays were created by nature. Usually around 3 - 4 pm it started raining, which made it very cozy in the cabins living room.
- 374sebik00Short trek lovely timeNagarkot hiking(Trekking): Extremely hospitable from Start to Finish had a lovely time. Will be returning. Special thanks to Machhindra for his smooth operations.
- Erica30126500Hard but GoodMy trek on the Annapurna Circuit Trek was amazing! My team of Kanchha Sherpa (trekking guide) and Purna Tamang (porter) were wonderful to me. I have never been so well cared for. Kanchha's knowledge and experience of mountain trekking/guiding and Purna's ready smile made my experience positively unforgettable. Adventure Thamserku thought of everything and created an itinerary and budget for me that just suited me perfectly. They could not do enough to help make my time in Nepal an altogether positive experience. Thank you.
- LizR326382800Amazing experience!My trek with Himalayan Spirit Adventure was everything I hoped for and more. Milan and I planned an itinerary together to fit my preferences and then he took care of all the details. My guide Ramesh made sure all went smoothly. He has extensive experience and knowledge of the different mountain areas. When the weather forced us to change plans, he easily made new arrangements and I was able to continue my trip seamlessly.
- ciklumc00Kanchenjunga Basecamp trekTrue professionals. Himalayan Spirit Adventure Treks and Expeditions is true professionals, working in the industry for more then 25 years. I went to Kanchenjungha area with Himalayan Spirit Adventure Treks and Expeditions, they have managed to get all required permits (even through it was not possible to get it online, as a standard process). I highly recommend Himalayan Spirit Adventure Treks and Expeditions as true professionals, with this agency you could really be sure about smooth experience, and be confident in the end result. Kind regards, Alex.
- pumheijmerink00Amazing guide Madhu, but company made us pay to muchThis review has two parts. First about the amazing guide this company did provide for us. We had Madhu as our guide. He was the most happy, funny and knowledgeable guide from Nepal. His English was very good and he knew a lot. We also noticed that many other guides go to him if they have questions. He makes you feel very comfortable and has the perfect combination of doing the hike with you vs. giving you your space. Cannot recommend him enough. He really added a lot of positive energy to our trip and we’re glad we hiked with him. He made the trip extra special. Would certainly give Madhu 5 stars if he wasn’t associated with this company. Secondly, this company pushes you to pay in advance for all your transportation. Wich is a total scam! They make you pay €150 for a local bus that is otherwise just €20. And they do the same with every other part of the transportation you take. When we confronted them afterwards they said they had to do this to make sure they can cover extra sudden costs. Then they offer you a fake discount, which is still more then the price of alternative guides. So if you decide to use their services (and I’m sure their guides are amazing), then please only take a guide and pay for the transportation as you go (which is no problem at all and most hikers do it like this anyway). They will otherwise surely scam you and make you pay way too much for the transportation as needed. Again Madhu thank you so much, you are amazing and you maked our trip in Nepal very special! :)
- M776RQsarahs00great experianceWe had a great trek with unforgettable experiances, professsionally guided by Macchindra who took care of all our needs and made us feel safe. Everything was well organized. Thank you Macchindra!
- Navigator3819319208300Gorepani - Punhill TrekkUnforgettable trekk, amazing adventure guided by Macchindra, he cared for all our needs and interests, we felt safe at any time, thank you very much for this unique experience.
- Pioneer3045721690100Unforgettable trekAmazing trek, challenging at points but extremely rewarding with breathtaking views and quaint villages all throughout that shows an outsider what local life is really like.
- fabianrQ645FK00Sightseeing PokharaOur guide Om presed nepal was really helpful and nice. He showed us a lot of places in pokhara and everything was well organized. We never had to wait for the taxi.
- O_Monica_O00Genuine experience in the mountainsHighly recommend doing this trip with this company, as they were very intuitive in recommending the best hike version depending on fitness level and overall expectations (culture/ nature etc.)! I found their expertise about the area really genuine, making me feel as truly experiencing the best that Nepali mountains have to offer. My guide, Om, was really something also, very chatty and always there and prepared to offer assistance in any situations. He could also sing very good Nepali traditional songs that are very helpful on the way up, when the trek becomes more demanding :)
- Cyka123400EBC Trek, April 2023Colin was a realy amazing Tour-Guide. He is a realy entertaining guy and loves his job. The agency is realy friendy and helps you during your whole stay.

Dhruba Atkihari known as DB, is the man who welcomed us on our first five day visit to Kathmandu. Very professionally and at a very reasonable price, he arranged for us to see the maximum in a short time. On the last day of our stay, we were provided with free transportation to the airport. As far as my wife and I are concerned, DB is a professional for every recommendation. Thanks DB, we really saw a lot with your help.

We had 3 whole days in Kathmandu and they planed a perfect program for us, two days we went trekking. First to Chisapani, from there we had a really nice few of the mountains near by. We stayed over night in a typical Nepalese guesthouse, which was also really nice.
On the second day we hiked to Nagarkot, there we were rewarded with an awesome view of the mountains and we could even see a bit of the everest range through the clouds. On our last day we got a really nice and interesting tour through Kathmandu, we got to see all of the important(and very beautiful) places. Our guides (Ram and Ganesh) were really nice and always helpful, so they really made us fell wellcome in Nepal. Overall we had a really good experience!

Very great travel company. The boss knows exactly what he is doing. He answers questions very quickly there is no need to worry. I had a very nice time in Nepal. First we went to Chitwan National Park must see, then to Pokora, a very beautiful city. From there went to Australian Camp and on to Sarangot. I can only recommend having everything organized here. Less headaches.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience from the start - Milan gave us an absolutely great overview of the different options we have and as we were only staying in Kathmandu for a relatively short time, we decided to go on a day trip in Kathmandu valley.
It was a lifetime experience - our guide Macchindra was absolutely marvelous ❤️ he took us to beautiful places and we had some great conversations about Nepal, local culture and customs and everything really. It felt like going on a trip with a friend so absolutely great vibes. He was also very attentive - made sure we are able to follow the speed and we are doing alright 🥰 we are not experienced hikers so it really really meant a lot to us.
We also had lunch and dinner together ( dinner at his place with family with absolutely delicious food).
Macchindra really made us feel like home - was one of the best experiences that I have ever had with no exaggeration.
So i would definitely recommend this trek to everyone ❤️😍

I had two great tours, arranged by Milan.
First, I had a full day in Kathmandu Valley (Patan, Durbar, Monkey Temple and Pashupatinath) with private tour guide and driver. I highly recommend book the full tour with the company, you do not have to worry about transport, entrance, tickets, etc. at the end I had dinner in a nice rooftop. There is no time for the tour, so you can enjoy and admire the sites without being in a hurry.
Second, I had the Heli Tour to the Everest Base Camp. The company arranged everything for me, transportation to the airport, fees to access the area, the helicopter trip from Kathmandu to the Base Camp. Milan also kindly provided appropriate clothing for the weather with no additional charge.
I highly recommend the company as the tours are very good and the staff also could help with everything in the trip, including transportation, companion, recommendations for places, plus the tours they offer.
