Amazing trip. Highly recommended tour agency. Excellent. We really enjoyed the entire journey. Very helpful agency.
Actually me and my son went on Manasarovar and Mt Kailash trip. Surya from Himalayan Trekking helped in identifying the group and also made over trip from the Kathmandu airport and back was well planned and executed. Both in Kathmandu visiting various religious places and trip to Tibet was very well done with good Tour guide, bus and driver. All the accommodations during the trip very good. Treks planned in preparation for Parikrama was good and we were able to complete the the parikrama was successfully done without any issue. Thanks Surya and Prem for making the trip successful.
Thank you for your positive words. We hope the blessings of the sacred sites will stay with you and your son forever. Thank you for choosing us for your Manasarovar and Mt Kailaish Trip. We look forward to welcoming you back to Nepal soon. Best, The Himalayan Trekking & Tours Team
Another great trip with Himalayan Trekking with Kathmandu Tour. Lovely place! Such rich culture, the good hospitality and of-course the UNESCO sites. It was such a lovely tour to the bustling city of Nepal. Highly recommended!
We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed your Kathmandu sightseeing tour! Thank you for choosing Himalayan Trekking & Tours. We hope to welcome you back to Nepal again. With gratitude, The Himalayan Trekking & Tours Team
My nephew and I recently completed a month-long stay in Nepal with Himalayan Trekking and Tours. Our trip included the Manaslu Trek followed by visits to Bardia and Chitwan National Parks, the city of Pokara, and historic sites in Kathmandu. Our experience was superlative, and our guide, Babu, could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. Particularly notable were the little unexpected touches - providing us with our own maps and duffle bags, supplementing our evening meals with mixed nuts and fruit carried along on the trek, a cake for my birthday, etc. We didn't see other guides doing those sorts of things While we could have done the national parks and the cities on our own, having all the transportation, lodging, local tours, and logistics taken care of was worth every cent of the low price. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a great, trouble-free experience in what is probably the most impressive range of mountains in the world.
Your kind words have touched us deeply. Your appreciation for our service means a lot to us. It is our goal to go beyond expectations and create great experiences for our clients. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back to Nepal soon. Best regards, The Himalayan Trekking & Tours Team

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. And also, thank you for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back to Nepal soon. Best regards, The Himalayan Trekking & Tours Team
We had an amazing trip to Kathmandu and Pokhara and really couldn’t recommend Surya and his team highly enough. Everything was so well organized but also very flexible and it was no problem for us to make a few changes to our itinerary during our trip. We will definitely be back to Nepal and will definitely be contacting Surya!
Thank you for your great review! Can’t wait to welcome you back to Nepal soon. Warm regards, -The Himalayan Trekking & Tours Team
