Incredible!!!!!

We met Roman, our tour guide for the half day Pokhara trip. We booked the Dhampus /Australian camp trip with him straightaway. He is absolutely fantastic. Very hard working, very knowledgeable, down to earth & humble. He lives & breathes Nepal. He is very passionate about sustaining this beautiful environment. The Dhampus/Australian trek was absolutely incredible. We had the most amazing views of the Himalayas. Kabi our guide was very knowledgeable & kind. We trekked to 2000m & he kept us hydrated & motivated. Our driver Ganes was extremely kind & accomodating. All in all - an incredible experience with Roman & his team in Pokhara. I will strongly recommend him /his company . Thanks Roman 🙏

A wonderful day's hiking in Pokhara

A very good trip for families. Though a little tired, fatigue is quickly forgotten in the beautiful scenery. I hope to be closer to the snowy mountains next time I can take a few days hike. The tour guide Raj was kind, helpful and had a great time communicating with him, which added to our trip.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your kind words! I’m really happy you enjoyed the day hike and that it was a great experience for your family. It’s wonderful to hear how much you appreciated your time with Raj - I’ll pass your message on to him. We’d love to welcome you again for a longer trek closer to the mountains with Breathe Nepal Trekking

Kumar, my guide, was...

Kumar, my guide, was excellent, made sure I paced myself, helped me navigate through treacherous sections, especially on descent , where wet mossy rocks could be very slippery. He also chose a nice restaurant for lunch.

I had a nice day

Roman, my Tourguide was very helpful and kind person. I couldn't believe that he immediately jumped in to help me plan my schedule which was different that the program we had. He picked me up at 5 o clock in the morning with is motorbike from the bus station, because I came by the overnight bus and I went one our to his family until we receive the car and start the tour earlier at 6. Many thanks for that Roman, one more time and also to the company. Even thought I couldn't see the mountains because of the weather conditions, the hike there was very nice, very beautiful nature. Roman took beautiful pictures of me and was very patient. The only thing negative was that tour was a bit too expensive, we drive only a little, but walked the most time. Lunch was included, but still expensive. Otherwise I was happy with the tour and especially with my Tourguide Roman. Thanks to the company also which immediately replied to my email.

Very good

I had a really good experience during the 1-day Damphus trekking. The guide, Yan, was very kind and explained me many things about the environment. The day was a bit cloudy so we couldn't see the mountains well, but still was a very good experience and would recommend it 😊. We also had lunch in a place with nice views and the food was delicious.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining the one-day Dhampus trek with us! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the day, even with the clouds playing a bit shy with the mountain views. Yan is indeed a wonderful guide. Hopefully next time the weather will be clearer and the mountains will show off a bit more for you. Thanks again for choosing Breathe Nepal Trekking!

A unique and special trek!

My one day trek with Roman was one of my favorite experiences during my trip in Nepal! The trek was beautiful and scenic, and perhaps even more enjoyable was getting to know Roman as a person. He was incredibly kind, professional and knowledgeable about the area and Nepal. I will always remember how he greeted each local and even handed out chocolate to the kids on the way!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was a real pleasure trekking with you and sharing a day filled with beautiful landscapes, great conversations, and meaningful moments along the way. Nepal has so much to offer, but for me, the best part is always the connections made with people like you. I’m truly grateful for your appreciation of the small gestures and the way we interact with the local communities - it’s something that makes every trek even more special. I hope you’ll carry these memories with you for a long time, and if you ever return to Nepal, I’d love to trek together again! Wishing you all the best on your future adventures.

A must do experience when in Nepal

Unfortunately, it was a very cloudy day so we only got a couple of glimpses of the Himalayas mountain range during our trek. However, this did not dampen our enjoyment of the day as there were still so many spectacular views. It was also interesting looking at the day to day life of the people living in the area, the farms and even a school. The lunch stop provided a delicious meal in what must be an amazing viewpoint when it is not cloudy. Roman was our guide and was such an interesting and genuinely decent human being. As we walked, it was fascinating and humbling listening to his experiences with the mountains and also the earthquake of 2015. A must do experience when you are in Pokhara.

A fantastic one-day trek to explore beyond Pokhara

Namaste! I'm a solo female traveler visiting from the U.S. during monsoon season. I had a fantastic, immersive, one-day hike to Dhampus with Breathe Nepal and Kumar as my guide. I always felt safe. (Thank you, Kumar) I highly recommend it, especially for those who may not have the time for a longer trek. It has gorgeous surroundings, and there is flexibility as it is at your own pace. I would describe it as a mid-range trek; some fitness level helps! I saw a herd of water buffalo grazing, "Bob Marley Trees," butterflies, and plenty of fresh air!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you had a great hike to Dhampus with Kumar as your guide. Ensuring our guests feel safe and comfortable is our top priority, so we're delighted to know Kumar provided you with a sense of security throughout your trek. Thank you for recommending Breathe Nepal Trekking. We hope to see you again for more adventures!

Must visit if you're in Pokhara

Definitely a MUST tour if you have a day in Pokhara - the perfect way to explore and hike Annapurna Range without a hustle. You will start at Australian Camp entrance, which is better since less stairs required as compared to Phedi entrance. A lot of interesting information on the area, local life, history shared by my guide Roman, who is so passionate and knowledgeable about Nepal and all small details. Very grateful for this opportunity! Learnt a lot this day, thank you once again, Roman!

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I'm glad I could make your journey through the Annapurna Range memorable. Looking forward to your next visit!
