Mr Happy and our guide (Din Esh) made our trekking experience more than we could have hoped for. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We found Mr Happy on Trip Advisor a few years ago and he kept in touch throughout the pandemic until we were finally able to come to Nepal. The price we paid was fair but more than anything, they just seemed happy to be welcoming people back to Nepal.
We were picked up at the airport and given a warm welcome by Mr Happy in Pokhara. We were driven to his nearby office for a beer and an overview of our upcoming excursion. The route was clarified and there was plenty of time to go through any questions we had in relation to kit, accommodation etc.
We started the trek the following day. We had limited time in Nepal and really wanted to go paragliding so Mr Happy arranged this for us as well as a pick up from the landing spot to bring us back to his office ready to start the trek.
Our guide on the trail was Din Esh who was fantastic from start to finish. He struck the perfect balance between informing us of the local surroundings and making us laugh to help raise our morale during some of the steeper sections of the trail. He took photos of us on his phone and would send them to me on Facebook after each day which meant we got some lovely photos of us together.
Whilst the weather was unfortunately hazy on some of the days, Din Esh made sure to wake us early in the morning before sunrise to allow us the best opportunity to catch a glimpse of Annapurna South and Fishtail. In the evenings he told us funny stories and kept us entertained, we honestly couldn’t have asked for more from our guide- thank you so much Din Esh!
After the trek we were invited to Mr Happy’s house where he cooked us a delicious Nepalese dinner for which was wonderful. We feel so lucky to have met such wonderful and hospitable people.
Happy Treks, in our experience, is a fantastic company which obviously knows it’s business. However, as with any business, it is the strength of the people which matters. We feel fortunate to have met the team at Happy Treks and hope to visit again in future years.
On a final note, when we were leaving Pokhara we had a lot of problems with delayed flights and Mr Happy and Din Esh personally came to the airport to help sort alternative transportation back to Kathmandu. They were so patient and waited around to make sure we either got on a flight or that we had a van to take us.

We made contact with Mr Happy several months in advance to tee up a recommended route and guide/ porter. He was always very quick to respond to my questions and unlike a few other operators, did not seek pre-payment. Once we'd arrived in Pokhara he made sure we had appropriate clothing and equipment. Raj, our guide was extremely professional and exceptionally friendly and accommodating. He was great with our kids, constantly checking on their well-being and showing his wealth of knowledgeable about the region and it's people. Bram and Prakash, our porter's were also
exemplary. Raj selected great lunchstops and teahouses for each nights accommodation and was always around to provide assistance and detail the next day's plan. I'd highly recommend both Raj and the Happy Treks for people considering trekking in the Annapurna region.

We booked a 5 day Poon Hill hike with Happy Treks Nepal upon recommendation from two separate groups of friends who had both used their services previously and been very pleased.
Mr Happy was very organised and prompt with all his email replies. He made the booking process seamless and kept up good communication when arranging our transfers from Kathmandu to Pokhara. His service was both friendly and professional.
Ram was our guide for the Poon Hill trek, both sets of my friends who previously used Happy Treks had also used Ram as their guide and they couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Ram was friendly and personable from the start. On the first day of our trek I was quite unwell, Ram was extremely patient and never made me feel like a burden on the group. Without his encouragement I possibly wouldn’t have continued the trek but I’m so glad I did. Having Ram as our guide improved our experience significantly, his knowledge of the area and the mountains was fantastic. He always seemed to secure the best tea houses and knew when to push us to walk an extra 10 minutes to get a better lunch spot with a fantastic view.
Krishna and Savokor were our porters. They were superhuman. The trek was challenging and these guys did it with our back packs on. Not only were they a massive help carrying our luggage they were both very friendly, attentive and never stopped smiling. After a days hiking it was nice to sit with a cup of tea and learn more about their Indian and Nepali culture.
We also had a couple of jeep transfers between Kathmandu to Pokhara then later on to Chitwan. Madhu was our driver both times. He was possibly the most relaxed person on the road in Nepal, never going overly fast or breaking harshly. He somehow made the terrible roads in Nepal bearable and got us to our destinations safely and on time.
I’m really glad that we trusted Happy Treks with our tour, they took all the stress out of organising our trek and allowed us to enjoy our much needed holiday. I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Nepal.

We went on a 5 days trek to Poon Hill with the amazing guide Dinesh, who was fantastic ! Prior to our arrival, the organization orchestrated by Mr Happy was very smooth and reassuring. He responded very promptly to any questions we could have, send us a list of items we should bring to be best prepared, he described every steps of the trek to make sure it would fit what we like and we were received with a very nice welcome at our arrival at Pokhara.
But what made the trek exceptionally enjoyable and perfect is our guide, Dinesh !
His contagious smile and good mood, his relaxed vibe and very good knowledge of the mountains and Nepalese culture and history made this five days fly by (we would have loved prolonging this short week !). He knew every best tea houses to stay at, made sure we had the rooms with the best views, private bathroom when possible, and made us discover culinary delicacies as often as possible (for our greatest pleasure)!
He took really great care of us, made sure that we were happy every step of the way, and created a good balance between shared moments and alone time to enjoy quietly the roads and the views ! We couldn’t dream of a better trek, let alone a better guide !!!
We are coming back from this trip with a lot of happy memories, breathtaking sceneries and landscapes in mind but most of all really nice evenings spent sharing stories and experiences which were eye opening and a view on the life in Nepal we can’t see as a tourist staying for only two weeks.
We were incredibly lucky with the weather since the sky was clear every morning, allowing us to enjoy with our amazed eyes the views on the mountains (thanks to Dinesh’s secret way of clearing the sky)!
We would HIGHLY recommend you Happy Treks Nepal : you’ll have a relaxing, safe, worriless time, just have to enjoy the views and the snacks !
But more importantly, if you can plan the trek with Dinesh as guide, you’ll have the cherry on the cake !

This is my third time trekking with Happy Treks, and second time with them to Annapurna Base Camp. I’m a loyal customer for many reasons— booking is a breeze, the treks are reasonably priced and I always feel safe with the team as a solo female traveler. Mr Happy is efficient in his responses and willing to customize treks — he even adjusted my itinerary to avoid a trail notorious for leech bites! I highly recommend Prem as a guide too, as he’s very knowledgeable about the area and great at pacing the hike based on my physical abilities. He even secured single rooms for me most nights, which is no small feat during the peak season!

My friend and I trekked Mardi Himal with Happy Treks in December 2023. I had initially reached out via email to Mr Happy (Udaya) to organise a tailored itinerary for Mardi Himal that fit the time we had available (5 days, 4 nights). He was more than accommodating and very keen to support us in organising everything we needed for the trek.
When we arrived in Pokhara, we met and had a lovely chat with Mr Happy, who confirmed everything was ready to go for our trek the next day. Then he introduced us to our guide Ram.
Ram took such great care of us from the get go! As a person who has completed the Mardi hike 150+ during his many years as a guide - he was the perfect person to lead us on the trek. He was also playful and funny, which is what you need when you're trekking vertically for 7+ hours on some days.
Would definitely recommend trekking with Happy Treks and guide Ram if you're looking to go trekking near Pokhara.

Mr Happy provides an excellent service from start to finish. We contacted him 2 days before we wanted to do the Mardi Himal trek and he responded right away offering a brilliant price. Aside from the logistics, he is just so kind and generous.
Prem, our guide, could not have been better. He went above and beyond for us while also being so much fun - from educating us about Nepali culture and the Himalayas, to playing cards and dancing. We will miss him very much!
The Mardi Himal trek was stunning and the experience made easy and very enjoyable by Mr Happy and Prem’s hospitality. It was the highlight of my trip to Nepal!

My Husband and i were on a two day trek and we were extremely happy and satisfied with everything. First, Mr. Happy was very friendly and helpful and answered all of my questions and concerns with patience, since i was a bit sick and the weather was changing he advised us on what trek to take and all other details. Our guide, Salik, was also great, he was very considerate and compassionate because i wasn't feeling my best, even advised me what to eat to feel better! He told us a lot about villages, culture and history of the area, even draw us a little map as a souvenir!
Even the weather was great, all in all we will definitely use their services again and would recommend them to anyone!

We had a fantastic time trekking Poon Hill with Happy Treks. Mr Happy was great at organising the trek for us, meeting us at the bus stop and explaining everything we were going to do and needed to bring. He suggested doing the trek anti-clockwise as there was a lot of ice on the track and this would be very difficult to descend on, and I'm so glad he suggested it! Mr Happy even went the extra mile for us lending us a lot of gear as we had just done 2 years in Australia and wasn't exactly prepared for the trip. Our guide Dinesh was wonderful, he spoke excellent English and gave us lots of information on the himalayas, and Nepali culture, it was like trekking with a friend. The tea houses were also very welcoming and the food was really good. I highly recommend doing a trek with Happy treks, Mr Happy (a trekker himself) really does know how to organise the best trip!
