I couldn't ask for more! - I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From my initial inquiry to the pickup at the airport to all of the guides and activities, everything was top notch. This includes changing my plans and extending my stay. They made sure I was satisfied at every turn. I did the 5 day Sunrise Tour With Everest, plus the Chandragiri Cable Car and the flight over Everest.
The hotel is about 12 minute walk from the hot spot of Thamel, which gives the advantage of a quiet area and affordable price and easy to get around. The rooms are clean and comfortable.
All of the guides spoke decent English and were patient when I struggled with their accent. They provided lots of information about the area, the culture, the religions. It was just the right amount without being overwhelming.
I met the owners and they made me feel like a valued guest throughout my stay. I highly recommend Himalayan Social Journey if you have a chance to visit this incredible part of the world! If I get a chance to return I will definitely choose them again!

Awesome tour company - We can’t recommend Himalayan Social Journey enough. From our email questions prior to our holiday right through to the end of the tour. Ram and Usha were just so friendly and accommodating. Arjun our driver was fantastic and made our journeys so much better. We had the best time on this trip. We also booked a flight over Everest which was arranged perfectly.

Great company and services - We took a 5-day tour with Himalayan Social Journey and the company was very good to work with from the beginning. They gave us their standard package and we asked them to modify it to match our needs they they gladly complied.
During the trip we had to waste time to do our Indian Visa and could not visit some places per our itinerary but they let us make it up the next day,
From the office personnel to the driver and guides, they are all professional and customer oriented.
Their Hotel Holy Himalaya has great breakfast with varieties and the coffee lady was very good at making espresso cappuccino coffee.
The only thing we did not enjoy was the cultural dinner/show. We were there two times and they had only three dances.

TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE AT HIMAYALAN SOCIAL JOURNEY - Once we got outside the Nepal Airport, they were there waiting for us. They were very friendly and accommodating. I asked them if they could take me to Pharping so I could see the meditation cave of Guru Rinpoche and they took me the next day, no hesitation! Going to Pharping wasn't necessarily easy either but there was no question about it. I became friends with them and now I am connected to them through Facebook. When I decide that I want to go back to explore the hiking in Nepal and also see Tibet I will certainly go back to them.

Fabulous experience! - We so enjoyed our guides - Dillup and Dipendra - they were the best part of the tour. They were so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The history and culture they exposed us to was wonderful to see - Swaymbhunath and the Boudhanath Stupa. On their recommendation, we booked a separate tour to take an airplane ride along the Himalayas which was a huge success and we saw Mt Everest! Wow, amazing!! And much clearer than the the sunrise effort at Nagarkot. The tour of Bhaktapur was fascinating and so much to see. Our guide - Shya Kaji - was so informative!! We loved it all!!! Except the road to Nagarkot - winding and in very bad condition.

Absolutely Amazing Experience! - My family, friends and I visited Nepal for four days, three nights as a group of 14 tourists. It was our first time in the country and we couldn't have asked for a better guide or driver! Dipendra was a spectacular host as he showed us around Kathmandu and Nargokot. The outlined schedule of the tour was a great starting point, but he worked with us to make sure we got to see what we wanted within the city and ensure we had time at the places we found most interesting.
This tour comes as a five-day package, but the company worked with us to ensure that we made the most of the time we could spend in Nepal (four days). The emails and payment were really easy to follow and the company is super quick to respond to all questions.
We all really enjoyed our time in Nepal and when some of us come back for Base Camp, we will definitely use Himalayan Social Journey!
