    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.

    WOW… just, WOW!!! My experience trekking the Manaslu Circuit in May 2025 with Himalayan Trails (HT) was above & beyond a 5-star experience. From the pre-trek on-line communication with Grishma who helped to tailor my trek so that I was able to visit and stay at out of the way monasteries, to the exquisite guidance, support and comraderie I experienced with Mingma Sherpa (25+ yrs of guiding and trekking in the Himalayas) & Nuru Sherpa (porter with a heart of pure gold) — my 17 day trek was an experience, a pilgrimage really, that went beyond what I could’ve dared dream it might be! I felt expertly guided, informed, cared for and supported throughout the entire process (pre & post trek included). I also feel that it’s important to work with a trekking outfit that cares for and pays it’s guides and porters well & responsibly — Lonely Planet lists HT as just such a company and it is clear to me that they live up to that endorsement. I plan on making many future treks in Nepal — Mustang, Tsum & others — and I will most definitely continue to work with the Himalayan Trails team. I couldn’t recommend them more strongly!

  • 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!

    I trekked the Pikey Peak for my 50th birthday with my sister and it was fabulous. We experienced a flooding disaster with heavy rain and weren't able to complete parts of the trek but our tour guides were fabulous and kept us safe and happy. Tendu, Tenjee and Dolma were awesome becoming more then guides, but friends. I highly recommend Himalayan-Trails for any adventure in Nepal. I will be back for sure. Thanks Team Himalayan-Trails

    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!

  • 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' 🙏

    We had the most amazing honeymoon, thanks to Himalayan Trails. Amanda was so helpful in the months leading up to the trip and organised a trek in Langtang Valley and then some days in Sarangkot. When we arrived in Nepal we were looked after every step of the way. Thank you to Amanda, Raj, Suman, Prokas and everyone else involved. You really made our trip memorable. We will be back!

    Nepal – A Land That Stole Our Hearts, and a Team That Made It Unforgettable and Became Family We recently completed a once-in-a-lifetime motorcycle journey through Nepal, from the white-water thrills of Trisuli to the raw beauty of Upper Mustang. What made this adventure truly exceptional was the incredible team at Himalayan Trails Awesome Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd. From the outset, Mads crafted a tailor-made itinerary that balanced thrill, culture, comfort, and surprise perfectly—rafting, riding, and resting in some of the most stunning and authentic locations Nepal has to offer. The accommodations and meals throughout were well thought out and far exceeded our expectations. Special thanks to: Raj, for flawlessly leading the operations and making everything run seamlessly behind the scenes. Goofy Da, our unstoppable group ride captain—full of joy, patience, and unwavering support no matter how unreasonable our requests were. Always smiling, always delivering. Mahesh, our “Chief Mechanic”, who kept every bike ride-ready, even if it meant fixing them late into the night with bamboo, rocks, or pure ingenuity. Kaushik and Suresh Da, who drove our 4x4 support vehicles like pros through mud, rocks, rivers, and chaos—never spilling a single snack! Ritesh Ji, who led the broader support team with grace and calm, always ready to adjust plans and care for us with kindness and a smile. The professionalism, passion, and genuine care shown by this team turned our trip into something truly meaningful. They didn’t just provide a service—they became part of our story. If you're thinking of exploring Nepal—especially by motorbike or off-the-beaten-path adventures—I cannot recommend Himalayan Trails highly enough. This is not your average tour company. They go the extra mile, quite literally, and treat you like family while doing it. Thank you, team, for an unforgettable ride. We'll be back.
