Best trip ever - I just did a two-day mountain guide trip in Nepal, and it was amazing! The trek through forests to stunning Himalayan views was incredible. Our guide was awesome, super knowledgeable and friendly. The mountain lodge stay was cozy with epic sunrise views. It was challenging but totally worth it. Highly recommend for a real Himalayan adventure!

A flexible and a wel put together trip - Through a recommendation we got to know our guide Bijay. During the preparations for our trip, he assisted us in an excellent manner. We were able to perfectly communicate what we wanted to do and see, and how we wanted to divide our month in Nepal. Bijay was able to create a beautiful and feasible plan from this, making additional suggestions if needed, and with some back-and-forth communication, we assembled the perfect month in Nepal with a lot of variety. Everything was arranged by Bijay, which ensured that we had minimal worries during our trip, as certain things are more difficult to organize in Nepal without a guide or someone who knows the country. For example, I still wouldn’t be able to navigate public transportation without the help of other Nepalese or a guide. Throughout the journey, we were able to make adjustments without any issues if we felt like changing things up a bit. Last-minute changes were no problem for Bijay and were arranged on the same day. He ensured that we could fully enjoy our month in Nepal and see as many things as possible. Having a guide in the cities is also definitely an added value, as it allows you to learn about the many stories and myths of the faith and recognize these stories in the images and paintings at the temples. If I ever come to Nepal again, I would undoubtedly arrange my trip with Bijay once more.

GREAT TEAM AND PROFESSIONAL GUIDING - The trek I did was Annapurna sunrise trek with Himalayan Holyland Treks and Expeditions. They organized me this trek with gentle care and all the professional ways. We had a very good time with them and sharing their knowledge and experience of the treks was amazing and very helpful for us and everyone who like trekking. I would definitely recommend this team and Himalayan Holyland Treks and would like to do it next time as well.
