I went on a trek to Narphu Valley with Himalayan Ecological trekking in August. Narphu is in Annapurna area but still one of the less known treks and has not been open as tea house trek for long yet. So the amazing landscape and old high altitude Tibetan Buddhist villages (Nar and Phu) still seemed quite unspoilt. It was fine to trek there also during the monsoon season, as the area lies behind (north of) the main Annapurna range, in the rain shadow. The most amazing view was from the pass, Kang-La, looking down into the main Manang valley 2000 metres below and the Annapurna range in front of us.
As I was alone (with guide) and the area requires a special area permit that is only issued to groups of at least 2 people I had to pay for the extra permit (which at least is not so expensive there) and the trekking company arranged the paper work. Everything was perfectly organised by the company and the guide was well familiar with the area, which is not a given; most guides know only the main routes where most tourists go. We met other people on the way whose guides didn’t know the way and surroundings and were asking around to find out. As a female solo trekker it was important for me also to have a reliable guide with me and I was well looked after by the guide Bikesh Rana who is a very experienced guide and knows how to handle problems or difficult situations on the way.
I also noticed that some of the other trekkers we met on the way were having a difficult time with their organisers. Although they thought they had booked like a “full board” option with food and tea or coffee included, they found themselves having discussions about how many cups of tea they could order and which items on the menu. I have heard that also from other people how had such problem with their trekking companies. Something like this would never happen with Himalayan Ecological Trekking, they are very clear and transparent about what cost includes and they do not like to operate with dumping prices and then cheat their staff or clients to earn back on the cost.
It was one of the best treks that I have done in Nepal, with still much unspoilt atmosphere. And a great experience with Himalayan Ecological Trekking, which is the best I have come across so far. I highly recommend!!!

Once again, it has been wonderful to work with Bikesh Rana and his crew during our latest Tour in Nepal! With Himalayan Ecological Trekking, a trustworthy, highly reliable service comes together with a careful selection of crew members, who enjoy their work because they can rely on high-quality working conditions.
Above that, Bikesh Rana, as one of few in the market, has a vast, first-hand knowledge of all the sites of his tours. He treks every single route he offers, thus knowing exactly about the trail, itinerary, and new developments along the route.
If you plan to trek or travel in Nepal, I highly recommend to book your tour with Himalayan Ecological Trekking!

Himalayan Ecological trekking provided first class guides for city tours as well as for our trek. My friend and I had very much differing physical capacities. We started on the first part of Mardi Himal together and split up at a certain point so that I could turn around and enjoy an easier itinerary. The agency managed to adjust and plan the trek according to this special situation and everything went smoothly: perfect organization. It is worth while to invest a little into having hundred percent reliable conditions to make you feel comfortable. Otherwise it wouldn't have been possible for me at all. Everything was taken care of, from the choice of the nicest lodges to food etc.
Apart from trekkers obvious goal of ascending to the really close peak views, on the Mardi Himal Trek beautiful sceneries and landscapes at lower altitude are also worth while and so peaceful in the beginning of March when the trails and lodges will not be crowded.

Hi & Namaste to all,
I (together with a group of friends) hiked with Nir Gurung the Tilicho Lake Trek in 2021 during Dashain (October).
The trek was very well prepared and organised by Bikesh Rana's company Himalayan Ecological Trekking (HET).
Nir is a professional guide who was recommended and seconded by the HET company along with two very reliable porters. He is an experienced and dedicated guide who takes care of his fellow clients and who loves to photograph along the way. When sharing pictorial memories, it was very nice to recieve some high quality pictures of myself for a change. Because its usually me taking pictures of others :)
Also, Bikesh was very supportive throughout the entire trek but especially during preparation time. Due to our busy work schedule, we had asked him to prepare this trek for us on a very short notice. Yet everything (trekking permits, etc. ) was organised right in time.
Thanks a lot to Bikesh and Nir for this wonderful trek. I/we truly loved the experience!!!
Best wishes from Berlin

My experience with this company far exceeded my expectations. Bikesh arranged an amazing 12-day solo trek for me, a 68-year-old grandmother, in the Tsum Valley. While I do hike, I had never taken on such a demanding trek. My choice was to avoid being a group where others may hurry me. I wanted to go at my own pace. Hari was assigned as my superb guide and porter. Not only did Hari know the trails well, but he paced us for my comfort and safety. Every day he determined what was best for me. At one point where the steep downhill was slippery with pebbles over hard packed dirt, Hari removed his own shoes and backed himself down in front of me. He gave me time to stop to gaze in awe at views that took my breath away. The entire experience was so perfect because of the planning and my excellent porter/guide. I highly recommend this company.

The company was recommended to us for our trekking plans in Nepal. Even beforehand, the contact was very pleasant as they helped us find the perfect trek for us.
We met Bikesh, the manager, and Hari, our guide, in Kathmandu to discuss the details of the 12-day Annapurna Circuit trek. They were very flexible and considerate of our needs. For example, I got sick the night before the trek and it was possible to postpone the start by two days, just one hour before!
Our guide Hari is very experienced. We felt comfortable right away because of his companionable personality and didn't have to worry about anything for the next few days. It was always fun to be with him. Even during the more challenging parts of the trek (due to the altitude and weather conditions) he was able to motivate us and make us feel safe.
The scenery of the Annapurna circuit is breathtaking. Early March was the perfect time for us as the weather was good and the trails were not too crowded.
All in all we can highly recommend the company and our guide Hari. Thank you for everything!

I March 2019 we had a wonderfull trekking tour to Poon Hill via Ghopdepani. Our guides Rupchandra and his son Roshan organized everything perfectly for us like good guesthouses and food. They are very experienced, told many stories about daily live in Nepal and we had a lot of fun, were laughing every day. The landcape was amazing, the highlight was the morning walk on the Ponn Hill the watch at sunreise the Daulagiri, Ananapurna Range and the Fishtail.
Rupchandra took very good care of us that we could only enjoy the trekking.
Since this trekking tour we are friends.

Absolutely! Thank you for sharing your wonderful trekking experience to Poon Hill with Rupchandra Gurung and his son Roshan. We're happy to make your journey unforgettable with their perfect organization and lively storytelling about Nepalese daily life.

A friend of mine and I wanted to go trekking in the Dolpa region in Nepal. With Himalayan Ecological Trekking we found the perfect company which provided us not only with accurate and honest information about the trekking routes which were possible to do for us in the time we had but also with a local guide who was familiar with the area (which is not automatically given when you book a tour). We walked for a month in one of the most beautiful areas we've ever seen in our life. There weren't many other people trekking and we came in contact with the local community while eating local food whenever we had the chance to (Nepali or Tibetan traditional food). Bikesh Rana, the managing partner, organized the domestic flights and special permits for us. He was really listening to what we wanted and interested in how we felt about the tour and managed to organize an outstanding experience for both of us. We had an amazing time in nature and with the people and will definitely go with Himalayan Ecological Trekking again.

I have known Bikesh since April 2010 and have done 4 tours with him. Three were trekking tours to Everest Base camp, one including Island Peak & Mera Peak. In 2018 we also did a 2 week sightseeing tour of Nepal.
Bikesh is the absolute best guide you can have, whether it be in the mountains or sightseeing. His knowledge of high altitude and his country in general is amazing! He is dedicated, conscientious and always has his clients welfare in mind. I highly recommend Bikesh and his tour company for any tour in Nepal!

I've just had a wonderful stay in Nepal organised in collaboration with Himalayan Ecological Trekking. I contacted Bikesh Rana, co-founder and manager of the agency, from Switzerland and he was very helpful and responsive to my messages. I spent 3 weeks in eastern Nepal trekking to the base camp of Kanchenjunga North and South. My guide, Hongchhu Sherpa, managed the journey by plane, jeep and on foot on the trails in an exemplary manner. He always paid great attention to my safety and comfort. Back in Kathmandu, Bikesh also helped me organise the end of my stay and the visit to Chitwan National Park. I would highly recommend this agency to future travellers wishing to visit Nepal.
