Mardi Himal Honeymoon

We don't have enough positive things to say about our honeymoon in Nepal with Himalayan Recreation. After our first contact, they arranged essentially everything for us, from our arrival in Kathmandu to our departure from this lovely country. We did the Mardi Himal trek with our fantastic guide Ashok and our porter Subash (who we found out 3 days in were brothers!).

Our experience was customized based on our timeline and fitness level (including 2 unplanned extra days), with Ashok's knowledge of the trails and valleys guiding the way. The food was shockingly delicious considering the rugged terrain, the beds comfortable, and the people universally accommodating and friendly.

For people like us who like a little solitude, this was the perfect trek. We had gorgeous weather for the first week of March, and most days went by with seeing just a few other people on the trail. The views were stunning, and we feel like we had most of them to ourselves.

Bishnu with the tour company also arranged paragliding in Pokhara, a one day Kathmandu cultural tour which was very informative, as well as a helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp which was possibly the highlight of the trip. We cannot recommend adding this to your trek if at all possible.

Overall, we feel like our booking with Himalayan Recreation allowed us to drink in more of Nepal in our 7 days there than we could have in a month of planning it on our own. We had positive experiences from start to finish, and cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're lucky enough to get Ashok as your guide, tell him hi for us.

Excelent Treek and professional staff

Himalayan Recreation made us easy by arraigning all trekking gear, guide, porter, permt, hotel in Lathmandu and along upper mustang trek.
We got to know this company services through my friends who had done Manastu Trekking last year with them and were very happy.
After we got Himalayan Recreation they made pur dreams come true and provided us very professional trekking staff, everything arranged by the company was perfect and they did as they promised.
They are reliable and believe in happy costumer.
We had some dissapoinment regarding bad weather during the trekk wich disturbed us to see stunning views of the Himalayas but anyways I can highly recommend them and Annapurna Upper Mustang Trek.

Langtang Valley Trek

Recently I done wilderness Langtang valley trek in Nepal with local tour operators Himalayan Recreation. That was our 3rd visited in Nepal after 3 years, Our first travel were before almost 10 years for Annapurma base camp trek, and we did incredible Everest Base camp trek during our second visit. And finally we figure out to do trekking in Langtand.
This time our trip was even better than before because a guide provided from company is excellent for each and every condition. He knows things around Langtand. We had spectacular views of Himalayas which made us breathtaking once. Everything’s was well organized by Himalayas Recreation, Accommodation during trekking was very basic but we enjoyed to stay in there. Food was very healthy, somewhere trekking trails are reconstruction and local peoples providing them pronouncement to make better way for trekkers.
Now I would like to recommend you all for Nepal trekking in Langtang and if you choose your guide from Himalayan Recreation you will get better service, thank you so much team !!!

Amazing adventure trekking EBC and Gokyo Lakes with our Guide Varat, aka The Man!

My girlfriend and I decided to arrange our Nepal trekking experience with Himalayan Recreational after reading positive reviews online.

Bishnu helped us formulate an itinerary for our desired trek via email and when we finally got to Kathmandu we were introduced to our wonderful guide Varat.

Over the 18 days of our planned trek Varat was a very caring and attentive guide looking after our every need and finding us good accommodation each night during the busy trekking season. Varat is extremely knowledgable about the EBC/Gokyo area and has trekked in the region for a number of years, he kept us well informed about what each day would hold and the planned route and structure for the next day's walk.

If you are thinking of doing a trek in Nepal but unsure which of the many companies to choose from then look no further! You can't go wrong with Himalayan Recreational and request Varat as your guide, you will be pleased you did!

Thank you so much Himalayan Recreational for sorting us such an awesome guide, you were fantastic Varat, see you in NZ.

P.s., get Varat dancing at the end of your trek, the man can move!

Everest Base camp, EBC and Gokyo Lake Chola Pass Trekking

Our 17 Day in Nepal was one of the best times in our life. We chose this Everest Base camp, EBC and Gokyo Lake Chola Pass Trekking packages from Himalayan Recreation on the advice of Mr Bishnu. Before we were just looking for Everest Base camp but my friend want to go to Gokyo Lake I had a dream to go to EBC sand I was afraid of Chola pass (5400m), when Bishnu convinced me that won't matter then I confirmed this trip with them and now I find it was my right decision. it was our first adventure journey and did not know much about Nepal so we follow Himalayan Recreation and they did all for our betterment. A guide provided by the company was understandable, Helpful and flexible. And familiar with there local people, which made us secure in Nepal.
On the second day, we started to see a great view of mountains including Everest all the way up and down. Most recommend please is Kalapattha 5555m, and Gokyo Lake on this trip but the Base camp was not as we expected because there was cloudy.
All the thanks to the team for such a wonderful trip, will be back soon!

Most Amzing Trip That I Ever Had

The trip to Evereast Base Camp is hard but everyone should try. The view is unforgettable and the people in Nepal are all very nice. To travel with Himalayan Recreation is one of the best decisions I made in this trip. They arranged all the Tea Houses and meals for us and our lovely guide Suresh prepared fruit dishes for us every night during the trip. The fruits are very good supports in the mountain. Our guide not only gave us the right directions but also shared a lot of info of the peaks and Nepal cultures all the way along.

In this trip we finished the EBC camp and also hiked back to Lukla. Without their help, I don’t know if I can finish it. Himalayan Recreation is a reliable traveling arrangement company to choose if you are interested in the Everest Base Camp Trekking.

Absolutely Amazing Experience with Himalayan Rec!!

I was part of a group of three that trekked to Everest Base Camp in November 2019 with Himalayan Rec. We came across this company through some research on TourRadar, a popular platform for a lot of trekking tours.

Himalayan Rec had great reviews and offered exactly what we were looking for. We reached out to several different trekking companies prior to booking but felt that Himalayan Rec had the quickest response time, thoroughly answered all of our questions/concerns and provided flexibility, all while offering one of the best prices. One thing to note is that most of the EBC trekking companies provide more or less the same services, over the same route, with the same facilities but tend to charge largely different prices. The price we paid Himalayan Rec was very transparent and we felt that we got a fantastic bang for our buck.

I was initially in contact with the company’s manager, Ashok. Even though we did not start the trek until a few days after our arrival in Nepal, Ashok and his team went above and beyond to accommodate us as soon as we landed in Kathmandu. They provided us with airport pick-up service, helped us navigate around the city and provided a wealth of information to make us feel more than welcome.

We trekked with the company’s guide Santosh, who quickly became a close member of our trekking group. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, experienced, well-known around the tea houses (I cannot stress the importance of this) and quickly tended to anything we needed (extra blankets, water, equipment, etc.). We even had an emergency change of plans mid-trek which required us to return to Kathmandu a day early but Santosh was easily able to accommodate the changes all while getting us up to EBC. He booked us a helicopter out of EBC, an earlier flight out of Lukla, set us up with a last minute hotel in Kathmandu, and provided complementary car service back to the airport.

All in all, I am more than pleased with the experience I had with Himalayan Rec. They went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in our group had an unbelievable experience. I would 100% recommend their services on your trekking adventure. Whatever you are looking for, they’ll be sure to deliver.
