  • One of the best mountain experiences of my life. Travel doesn't get easier than with the Himilayan trails team. I got to sit back and enjoy the experience while they took care of me along the way. The guides know everything and everyone and are easy to trust and fun to be around for long periods of time. This team knows what really counts when making exceptional experiences. Look no further for guided travel perfection.

    I just finished my second trip with Himalayan Trails, and it was just as epic as the first in 2019. Across both trips (first trekking in Solukhumbu, and then motorbiking to Mustang this time), the itinerary, the food+ activities, the scenery and the crew have been fantastic. The company is ethical, sustainable, knowledgeable and fun, and the crew mirror this. We went as a family group of 12, crossing 3 generations, and both times they worked with us to make sure everyone had a great experience, including our 70+ yr old 'Umma'. A huge thank you for 2 'trips of a lifetime' 🙏

    Kripa and her team at Himalayan Trails Treks & Expedition organized our trek of the Manaslu circuit down to the last detail. Everything from the airport pickup to our guide and porters was perfect. Our guide, Gelu, was in contact with Kripa almost every day, keeping her up to date on our progress. We would highly recommend Himalayan Trails and Kripa if you are planning a trek in the Himalayas.

    I was genuinely excited about this trip, as it was my first solo adventure. Despite the unexpected circumstances I encountered upon arriving in Nepal, my guides were attentive and dedicated, going above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience and could stick to my itinerary. I would definitely recommend this trip!

    Highly recommended! Hiked to BC, followed by an epic 3-High-Passes trek. This was the third time I travelled with the Himalayan Trails team. Mads, the backoffice team, guides (Tendu) and porters always go above and beyond to make this it memorable experience! This time - despite adverse weather conditions - (we've lost 4 days at the beginning of the trip) they somehow managed to get us to the end without missing out on anything. I will be back, for sure!

  • Himalayan Trails went above and beyond to make our trip seamless and memorable. Their attention to detail, friendly service, and passion for Nepal set them apart. When a natural disaster meant amendments to our trek were required, they ensured we were safe and still got to see the highlights of the amazing Himalayas. Their staff are very experienced and so very friendly. I highly recommend Himalayan Trails to anyone seeking an extraordinary and unforgettable travel experience in Nepal.

    Myself and my two uncles did an extended version of the Tsum Valley and Manaslu trek and up through Larke Pass. Everything was so well organised, we barely had to think about anything other than what we wanted to eat! The guide and porter that travelled with us were so lovely, caring, accommodating and skilled at what they do. The trek itself was challenging and so beautiful, we often found ourselves on a lesser-known trail that was a great and beautiful alternative to some of the crowded sections of the Manaslu Circuit. We had time to do short side trips on rest days during the trek, in which some of my favourite memories were made- such as trekking up to the Tibetan Border at 5300m! We visited many Gumpas along the way which was so special. The local people welcomed us warmly at every place we went. The weather was absolutely perfect for the trek from Dharmasala up to Larke Pass rounding off the trek perfectly. The staff working in the office at Himalayan Trails are all so lovely and helpful, and are a pleasure to spend a little time with if you have extra time and they aren’t too busy. I will definitely be using Himalayan Trails for my next trip to Nepal! Love, Anusha

    Perfectly crafted custom MTB trip in the Annapurna region. Our guide, Suman was truly incredible and made our trip 100% Type 1 fun with just the right mix of adventure and luxury. This company goes above and beyond to support sustainable tourism and perfects the combination of cultural experiences with hardcore adventuring. Already looking forward to my next adventure!
