It was my first time trekking in Nepal and I’m very glad that I have decided to go with Nepal Himalayas Trekking after reading good reviews on Tripadvisor. Mr. Prakash, owner of this trekking agency was prompt in replying to my queries right from the start. When we met up in Kathmandu, he was attentive to our concerns after hearing more about our trekking experience. He recommended adjusting the original trekking itinerary so that we could cope better with acclimatization. This turned out to be a good call and more well-suited to our pace. Even though Mr. Prakash was not personally guiding the trek, his team took very good care of us throughout. The trekking guide, Mr. Mt Tamang, and Sherpa Mr. Thakur Adhikari were attentive to our needs and pace. The attention to planning details from providing a variety of simple yet satisfying meals day after day on the trek to the selection of accommodation rooms to ensure that we get the best view is very much appreciated.

It was my first time trekking in Nepal and I’m very glad that I have decided to go with Nepal Himalayas Trekking after reading good reviews on Tripadvisor. Mr. Prakash, owner of this trekking agency was prompt in replying to my queries right from the start. When we met up in Kathmandu, he was attentive to our concerns after hearing more about our trekking experience. He recommended adjusting the original trekking itinerary so that we could cope better with acclimatization. This turned out to be a good call and more well-suited to our pace. Even though Mr. Prakash was not personally guiding the trek, his team took very good care of us throughout. The trekking guide, Mr. Mt Tamang, and Sherpa Mr. Thakur Adhikari were attentive to our needs and pace. The attention to planning details from providing a variety of simple yet satisfying meals day after day on the trek to the selection of accommodation rooms to ensure that we get the best view is very much appreciated. Such small gestures but very thoughtful efforts made the trip all the more enjoyable. Very thankful to Prakash and his entire team for making it a memorable experience. If you are looking to trek in Nepal, get in touch with Mr. Prakash & Nepal Himalayas Trekking Company and give them an opportunity to host you.
