All across the Himalayan region we encounter giant pairs of eyes staring out from atop Buddhist Stupas (you can see some in the photos on our website).

We see the Buddha’s eyes not only on stupas but also on prayer stones piled into cairns on mountain summits, at auspicious places and holy sites, crossroads where travellers pass, the list goes on.

It is a striking sight and becomes an inseparable part of any Himalayan memories.

The eyes look out in the four directions symbolising the omniscience of a Buddha and reminding us to have compassion towards all and to be vigilant in staying on the true path.

What’s our true path? To have a brilliant time showing you a brilliant time, giving back to community and environment while doing it!

Epic journey off the beaten track with these guys!

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!

We travelled on an itinerary organised by Mads, Raj and Co in Nov/Dec 19. Our brief was a short trek and lots of culture. And culture we got! Our pickup was from Chitwan , and stayed a night in Bandipur. This was our introduction to the wonderful "hobbit houses" of Nepal, with its amazing woodwork. Then to a trek spread over 4 days , walking village to village, enjoying the terrace of a thousand of agriculture and the hospitality of locals. Then Lumbini, visiting Buddha's birthplace, Bandia to see hippos and tiger, and then to the personalised tour of the world heritage sites of the Kathmandu valley.
Every facet of the trip worked seamlessly, with drivers always ready, the guides expert, and the sites amazing. The standard of accommodation was always comfortable. In Kathmandu, the fabulous Hotel Manuslu, and a jazz club located around the corner. The hot shower at Sikles village, and the bottle of Gurka, after a 1600m ascent, was so welcome.
I recommend these guys to all.
And we are going back, ready for a trek through the flowering rhododendron forests and into the alpine areas
