About
Buckle up in a fancy car with our own guide who knows everything about Nepal.
First stop, Patan Durbar Square, imagine a giant castle park with amazing carvings and hidden secrets. We'll even see special ceremonies, not everyone gets to see those!
Next, we'll visit Pashupatinath, a super important temple on a river. Learn about cool traditions and see flames dancing, but remember to be respectful because it's a special place for people.
Then, we'll find peace at Boudhanath, a giant white dome where people chant and spin colorful wheels. Our guide will even take us to meet monks and learn their secrets!
Finally, imagine climbing stairs at the Monkey Temple with cheeky monkeys around! But our guide knows a secret back way to see hidden things and hear amazing stories.
This won't be just looking at stuff, we'll get to do cool things, eat yummy food, and learn awesome stories. It's gonna be an adventure you'll never forget!

I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to see nepals mountains from above! Thankyou Himalayan scenery ! You guys were awesome. Will continue to complete my bucket list with you guys soonWritten January 15, 2025
- carlwB3824AZ0 contributionsExpertosss!!We did the Everest Helicopter tour and turned out to be best trip we did so far, we booked with Himalayan Scenery treks thinking it will be average, but they were the EXPERTS in this!! Thankyou Himalayan Scenery Treks and all the staffs!!Written January 15, 2025
- Mobile408798903270 contributionsEverest/ Kalapatthar Infront of UsI wanted to experience what it is to see world's tallest mountain infront of me so me and my friend Carls decided to go to kalapatthar via helicopter. We roamed many places and lastly we decided to go through Himalayan Scenery Treks. Their first impression was they treated us so well when we went to their office. They explain us very clearly and the price was also good. one of their staff Ronish was very friendly who treated us like his friend. It was a very proud moment for us to visit Everest. Thankyou guys for unforgetable experienceWritten January 14, 2025
- Excursion480644380090 contributionsExperts of MustangI clearly do not regret selecting Himalayan Scenery as my travel partner. As a local partner as well they have international standards of maintaining their trip. I went to Mustang with them. When I first contacted the team, Naresh, my travel expert was asking me so many questions to fill in for. My suggestion is they automate a form to fill the answers. But, Naresh clearly personalized the trip for me and my partner and sent us with their best guide Gopal. They are expert with live experience of the place, surprises planned at Lo Manthang when they told us we were supposed to climb up to see what actually the cave looked like. It was surprise for us because we did not know we could go inside. Anyway, it was a 5/5 experience of Mustang with Himalayan Scenery Treks. They are the expert and I trust themWritten December 23, 2024
- Happiness560105884690 contributionsThey have first-hand experience on everythingI did the Chisapani Sundarijal Day hiking with Himlayan Scenery. Naresh, my hike planner was truly attentive to the details. There were two routes for us, and he gave us the best route that less people travelled. They have first-hand experience on the trips they do. Really great with the trekking plans. Experts I would call them. Yes, pretty expensive, but are good at what they do.Written December 20, 2024
- TimothyHunt0 contributionsScamHorrible scammers. I booked and pre-paid a very expensive helicopter tour. The tour was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions (or that at least was the excuse they gave me) and they committed to giving me a full refund. I have only received about half the refund amount and nearly three months later and I am still waiting for the rest. They are now refusing to respond to any of my messages.Written November 22, 2024
- 780nabinr0 contributionsBest company with good guide/portar.I have done lots of research online, and so confused which treks company to choose for the EBC trek and chola pass (gokyo).With some good reviews that I have found on the internet I choose the himalayan scenery and in fact it is way better than the review. The response that was given by the operation manager Naresh Dahal was so swift and clear. When in doubt he gave so clear information and also gives best advice on anything that was asked. I was bit worried about the guide/portar that this company is going to provide. Upon booking the trek with this company Naresh has assured me that the he has provided one of the best guide/portar and indeed our guide/portar Shukra magar he was phenomenal, honest, friendly and smily guy. This was one of the best things that Naresh has provided out of many things. Shukra can bring prosperous to this company if he is invested properly as he is doing porter most of the time. If this company give him an opportunity to do the guide course and some advanced english course then he can be definitely one of the very best guide in this company. There is always a work on point regardless of how excellent the company is. From my perspective it could have been lot better if they can book the pre hotel by company during the peak season as it was bit hard to get accommodation on Lobuche .Again shukra has been phenomenal and has used his initiative to book the hotel in advance. When we do the trek again then I would definitely choose this company and would choose Shukra Magar over any guide. I would love to see shukra as full guide when we come back to do the trek again.Written November 19, 2024

- V6339EJpeters0 contributionsThrill and adventure was never as I expected in Manaslu circuitThis was the group joining tour I did with Himalayan Scenery in October. I never did such a high altitude trek, but my guide Gopal had such a gut feeling by which he always used to motivate me. I am so happy to get this trekking of Manaslu Circuit done. I am surely coming back to Nepal next year to find some more challenges and thrill in my life.Written November 4, 2024
- Curiosity200200021800 contributionsA Journey That Never EndsWhat can I say, but my 15-day trek to Mt Everest Base Camp was life revealing. I was supposed to be on a senior trek with 3 other people, but they postponed their trip, so I was by myself. I remember Naresh recommending that from the beginning, and he was right... it was the best option for me. Naresh also helped me plan a trip to Pokhara before the trek. He was always so quickly available to answer my questions, concerns, or emails. For the trek, I was blessed with the companionship of Jhit Tamang as my guide and Krishna as my porter. They took exceptional care of me. I felt secure and confident in their lead. I celebrated my 70th birthday on the trip. I am in fairly decent shape, but I was a little leary of what might come. Well, the altitude did affect me. It made me both euphoric and emotional, and there was one night I couldn't breathe or felt that I couldn't. My mind started putting me in panic mode, and it took everything to calm myself. Jhit and Krishna comforted me, and actually, I believe, helped "will" me up the mountain. We made it to Base Camp step by step, and I credit Jhit and Krishna for that. The desending, Jhit said would be easier, and it was. My lungs felt relief as we lowered our elevation. Jhit and Krishna even took the time to celebrate my birthday with a yummy cake and other surprises! Hand in hand, we made it down some slippery slopes, and along the way, we shared snacks, laughter, and our lives. Jhit was fantastic as he was kind, compassionate and gentle, yet strong, and always in command of the trek. Krishna was more than a porter as he often walked behind me, always prepared to lend a hand or give a helpful push. I will forever be grateful and value them as very special friends. I learned much from the trek. I learned how to accept help, support and, along the way, I discovered my own self-worth. The trek, as it turned out, was never about the end goal, but the journey and with these guys by my side I could not go wrong. I want to thank Jhit, Krishna, and all the players in Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition, Naresh and Sonu, for treating me as more than just a client, but as family. I highly recommend them to anyone considering exploring the beauty of NepalWritten November 2, 2024
- Coconutzzzzz0 contributionsBy far the best trekking experience in the HimalayasBy far the best Trekking experience in the Himalayas! From the very first day the team was friendly and accomodating to our every needs. We were very well looked after and with every aspect from extra gear i needed to purchase to helping me reach the goal of EBC. Nothing was ever too much or too hard for the team to achieve. Our guide Gopal is the very BEST in the business! Gopal made my trip! He was accommodating to my every need. From getting us the best rooms in all the tea houses along the way to making sure i was healthy and happy and showing me the best way to traverse this great landscape with his wealth of knowledge and expertise. Without him i would have most definitely contracted altitude sickness, but i listened to his advice at every turn and i ascended EBC happy and healthy. Without a doubt i can’t recommend Gopal and the team highly enough. These guys really made my trip and so much so i am bringing all my friends back next year to do 3 valley pass. The best thing i found is the team really ran such a professional operation and every detail was thoroughly thought out and organised in such a fashion that nothing was left to chance. Just the perfect experience and so happy i chose Himalayan Scenery treks and expedition for my trip to Nepal.Written October 22, 2024
- Mª Dolores S0 contributionsTrekking to ABC with the best companyThe company organized everything till the the smallest details, informed us of every step and took care of every desire we had. When the situation changed due to unexpected reasons they rapidly adapted and offered the best solution. Out of the trekking they took us to wonderful places in very cute hotels boutique. Finally they gifted us a wonderful dinner and gave us the bags of the trekking! And all with very good prices!Written October 15, 2024
- Wander680398240870 contributionsLangtang Valley Trek and my spiritual pathWe all know that moment in life when we are searching for a deeper meaning or understanding of who we really are. In the West it’s totally normal to don’t even search for that. It’s even normal to stay normal while in essence there’s something hidden deep within. It’s the source of our soul and connection with everything around us and within. We can read about it. See documentaries and listen to podcast about the essence. But still…there’s that deep feeling without any judgement or greed that’s hidden to be found. And that’s what I did when travelling to Nepal and experience the Langtang Track together with my guide Arpan. Experiencing the mystical forests and mountains while struggling with my thoughts. I knew that I needed to surrender to that. Being one with all that is. And when we arrived at Langtang Valley I was just crying. Not because of sadness but because I discovered the hidden potential deep inside me. I now know that I can create so much more things. Far beyond my own limits. So thankful for that. When arriving in Kyanjing Gompa it felt like arriving at the land of the gods. Peaceful and complete. I surrendered once more. And even while I had other plans, it all happened like it was ment to. Meditating at a remote location, deep in the valley at a hidden gem. Now I understand. And when trekking back downhill, back to Sayabrubesi where we started this adventure, the most beautiful butterflies were guiding me back and they let me see the path I took. I saw it once more what I’d achieved. It was again that confirmation of surrendering and seeing my true potential. I’m blessed and thankful I had this spiritual journey. Thanks Arpan and the team of Himalayan Scenery Treks. I will never forget got this one 🙏Written October 10, 2024
- ritaoA6363EX0 contributionsBest 10 day hike in NepalHad an amazing 10/10 experience on this hike. Narayan was my guide and was super nice and friendly and dependable. He explained each day and organised everything perfectly even when there were issues with the road/weather and we had to change the itinerary a few times. The drives to/from the hike would be tough for anyone with motion sickness - would recommend bringing strong medication. Thanks so much for the amazing experience!Written September 30, 2024
- stuartsF6153NL0 contributionsFlying tour for Everest campingOur Everest Helicopter Tour with Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition was truly amazing. From the start, the team made everything easy and comfortable. The helicopter ride offered stunning views of the Himalayas. Seeing Everest up close was incredible. Landing at Kala Patthar was a highlight—we felt like we were on top of the world with the snow-capped peaks all around us. The team’s hospitality was warm and welcoming, and breakfast at Hotel Everest View was a perfect end to the adventure. We enjoyed delicious food with the most stunning backdrop imaginable. This tour is a must for anyone who wants to experience the magic of Everest!Written September 2, 2024

Traveling on a shoestring, I wasn't sure a guided tour would fit my budget. But this tour with Ram proved different! The group size was small, the price reasonable, and the value I received was incredible. Ram showed us all the must-see sights, navigated public transportation like a pro, and even recommended budget-friendly local eats. I learned so much about Nepal's culture and history, all within my travel budget. This tour is perfect for backpackers and budget-conscious travelers who want a c...

As a passionate history enthusiast, I was initially skeptical about joining a group tour. However, Jayaram, the guide, completely blew me away with his in-depth knowledge and engaging storytelling. He brought history to life, weaving tales of ancient kings, religious traditions, and architectural marvels. The tour covered all the major landmarks, but Jayaram went beyond the surface, sharing fascinating anecdotes and hidden gems. The highlight for me was the discussion on the Malla dynasty at Kathmandu Durbar Square. Jayaram's passion was contagious, and I left feeling like I truly understood the city's rich past. If you're a history buff like me, this tour is a must!

Himalayan Scenery's Full Day Luxury Kathmandu Tour with Nisha offered a tranquil haven. She led us through serene monasteries bathed in golden light, their chanting monks weaving a tapestry of peace. We meditated in fragrant gardens, finding solace in the rhythmic chirping of unseen birds. Nisha wasn't just a guide, she was a conduit to inner peace, reminding us that amidst the chaos, serenity awaits. This tour wasn't a sightseeing marathon, it was a journey inwards, leaving us rejuvenated and connected to the city's spiritual essence.

My inner architect geek rejoiced exploring Kathmandu's architectural wonders with guide Sanjay. From the intricate pagoda roofs to the detailed stone carvings, each landmark was a masterclass in craftsmanship. Sanjay's in-depth knowledge of architectural styles and historical influences brought the stories behind these magnificent structures to life. This tour was a journey through time, revealing the fascinating architectural heritage of Kathmandu.

After a long time our family had gathered. And we decided to gather in Kathmandu. Then we found Himalayan Scenery just next to the hotel we were staying at Arushi. Naresh's hospitality and logistics management was just commendable. He can manage everything for you. And every money you pay him, he's going to ensure that you get better than what you pay. Thank you Naresh for your warm hospitality, we'll always remember you.

Craving an authentic experience, I joined guide Raju for a "Hidden Gems of Kathmandu" tour. We wandered through narrow alleys, explored lesser-known temples, and even participated in a traditional pottery workshop. Raju's deep knowledge of local life and hidden treasures opened our eyes to a side of Kathmandu rarely seen by tourists. This tour was a true adventure, offering a glimpse into the authentic rhythm of the city.

This was one of the best trips in January that I did. Ramkrishna and Naresh operated the day tour of Kathmandu for my family in such a great way. I have no complaints about it. Especially our tour guide Rita was best. She took us through alleys and streets of Kathmandu so that we could see what we always read in books. Definitely do this luxury tour with Himalayan Scenery.
